That sounds like absolute bullshit.
Regardless of the fact Bethesda can't develop for the PS3 to save their lives, millions still bought Skyrim, FO3, NV, and they can't just throw that away. ESPECIALLY with the significant number of people who will be jumping ship from Microsoft to Sony.
Then again, Todd Howard is a complete moron so anything is possible.

I giggle every time I saw it referred to as the XBone, because its apt.
I just picture an Xbox with kinect/RROD for eyes above crossed bones, the symbol of poison, which is exactly what they are doing to themselves from all appearances.
I can't even remember the last time literally EVERY site/blog/and YT personality I frequent (and many more I don't) have agreed so unanimously and VEHEMENTLY about something.
In this case how terrible the XBone is going to be for the industry.
To those brave few that are buying up all that rapidly devaluing MS stock, I hope it works out for you.

if 4 is xbox one only than it may become like infamous 3 for the ps4 one reason to buy it that came out of they needed something other than social app to push the system
PS4 and XBone use slightly modified PC parts, basically their just a desktop with modified OS's. They both have the same amount of RAM (8GB) however the PS4 has faster ram and the XBone uses 3GB on the Kinnect, DRM etc crap. So basically the PS4 is easy to port to and has more power than the XBone, so no issue there.Treeinthewoods said:
OT: Yeah not going to happen, timed exclusive maybe if their dumb, but not exclusive for FO4. I could see maybe an offshoot series perhaps but even that would be stupid, the 360 didn't make huge sales compared to the other platforms and if their watching the forums they will very quickly see the XBone will do far less.
I don't doubt that Bethesda signed something with Microsoft. It's not outside the realm of possibility that they'll be making an Xbone exclusive title... but there's no way they're stupid enough to make that title either one of their flagship products.
Remember, Bethesda Game Studios also developed racing games this generation, and Bethesda Softworks published everything from Star Trek shooters to an iPhone bowling game.

PC means Personal Computer. Is this Mac your Mac? Yes? You have a PC. Furthermore you can run windows on it natively with bootcamp. I can walk you through it if you want.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it confirmed that Fallout 4 would be using the Creation engine? The game engine specifically designed for modding?
It would be corporate suicide to not release the next Fallout on PC. I'm calling bullshit on it being an Xbone exclusive. Even a timed exclusive is unlikely, though possible.

I'm going to err on the side of sanity here and say this rumor is complete bullshit, but anything is possible. Bethesda are pretty chummy with Microsoft to begin with, and given the precedent way other AAA publishers have treated PC gamers over the last few years (Capcom and their console ports, Rockstar and their ever-increasing dismissal of the PC as a viable platform, etc. etc.), I wouldn't put it past Bethesda to pull something like this.
Bethesda have been increasingly consolizing their entire business model ever since Oblivion, and going Xboner-exclusive would just be another step in that direction.

Color me doubtful that this is true. Bethesda has always seemed to value platform independence in the past, and absorbing id doesn't seem to have made that any less true. I don't know what Microsoft could offer to them to make such a huge change worth their while. They aren't a pre-Halo Bungie, struggling to get their footing in a changing world; they've created some of the most successful games on the market with (relatively speaking) one of the smallest teams.
Bethesda has every reason to ride out the next generation and see who comes out ahead; chaining themselves to Microsoft would be like tying their leg to an anchor just when they're flying high.

It would be foolish on Bethesda's part to put their eggs in one basket. No one knows at this point which is going to be the top leader in the console wars this generation. Yes Sales on the 360 usually topped the PS3 but with the public backlash thus far on Microsoft's focus on a media center then a gaming system, some may take up the PS4 instead. Not to mention the Fallout Series has always had a loyal strong following on the PC with modding communities still finding ways to change the game around. Of all the games to stray away from being exclusive to a console, would be the main Fallout Series. If they had a spin off maybe, but defiantly not FO4
Ignoring the fact that the Link goes to a website, that then links to a forum post about a rumour, the simple fact is that Microsoft would need to pay Bethesda the equivalent of all of the potential PS4 and PC sales of Fallout 4 - quite a large number, let's be honest. Unlikely.
In addition, Bethesda is owned by a publicly owned company. Their owner isn't going to sit quiet on a potentially multi-billion dollar deal with Microsoft. They're going to leak it out to increase their stock price. This hasn't happened.

I feel as if this "rumor" is specifically designed to garner more rage and hatred towards the Xbox one, as if it was really needed.
This makes no sense isnt Bethesda a publishing company? Why would they tie themselves down to Microsoft?
