Microsoft investing $1 billion into games on Xbox One
Xbox One is planned to have 15 exclusives from Microsoft in its first year at retail, including eight new intellectual properties - the product of two years that has seen the formation of new studios in London, Washington and Victoria, British Columbia. Phil Harrison, former Sony exec, was brought on to oversee internal projects; Lionhead's new boss is John Needham, a guy with a heavy MMO background.
Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer told OXM Rare is returning to one of its older franchises (Killer Instinct, anyone?) and Black Tusk Studios is hard at work on Microsoft's next big franchise. Lift London is working on smaller cloud-based games, while Microsoft Studios Osaka has a project under way - something Don Mattrick says will illustrate how Microsoft is "committed" to Japan. Finally, Press Play and Twisted Pixel are in Microsoft's bullpen, working on "weird, unique" games for Xbox Live.
And that's not counting the continuing Call of Duty exclusivity deal and games Microsoft did talk about during its Xbox reveal event: Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 5; Remedy Entertainment's Quantum Break; and four games from EA Sports in UFC, Madden 25, FIFA 14 and NBA Live 14. Later, Crytek confirmed its Kinect-powered brawler Ryse is coming to Xbox One.
Xbox One is due later this year, with more to be shown at E3 between June 9 and June 11 in Los Angeles, California.

Hopefully the exclusive games are worth the amount of money they are putting into them.

Oxossi They should invest no money and let xbox 360 games be played them every one would be happy
I would much rather for it to go towards new games. If you want to play your 360 games then just turn on your 360. What's so difficult about that? You would rather them spend extra money so they could add the ability to play 360 games on the One because people are lazy? That extra money would also make the price go up. Backwards compatibility is just a waste in my eyes. If you really want to play 360 games then keep your 360 that's what I'll be doing.

DrRageface And still some people think the Xbox One isn't about games. -_-
Haha Yep. No one understands that MS wanted the reveal to be about the new features. Not the games. That's what E3 is for. But people on the internet flip out when something doesn't go exactly their way.
