Sorry if someone has mentioned this but... has Fallout 4 even been announced yet? I don't think it has but I may have missed it. If not, dismiss these rumors and the source as click bait. If so, I honestly don't think there's enough money Microsoft could offer Zenimax that would lead them into going exclusive on any console with any of their titles.
Ha! Brilliant!
Hey, hey, I've got antoher one for you; I heard from a guy who knew a guy who once did time with a guy who got some money from Keyser Soze that JK Rowling is going to be rewriting the Harry Potter series so that Dumbledore gets killed by the XBox One.
Someone photoshop a picture of the Xbox One behind the grassy knoll in 1963 brandishing it's Kinect menacingly at the motorcade.

Given how well it sells on the PC, I don't think it will be an exclusive. Bethesda would have to be on the point of bankruptcy and desperate for Microsoft funds for them to agree, and given how successful Skyrim was, I can bet that they can dictate the terms of what platform they can put their games on.
Studios do exclusives for money or because they have to because of contracts. Bethesda doesn't have a contract with microsoft, except perhaps for DLC and they don't need Microsoft's money.
Of course, it could have been "act-like-a-stupid" day at Bethesda HQ when Microsoft came around to talk about a deal, so it's not impossible. But I doubt it.

They are basing this off of a forum post. So your joke is just as valid, sadly. What self-respecting editor would pass this?Andy Shandy said:
If it's true then it really sucks. I'm not gonna buy a Xbone anyway though, so take that, Microsoft!
Even if that is true it's not like they're going to ignore the pre existing consoles, wait no I think i've confused myself again... why are we having a new generation? most devs won't even use the current specs.
Ah fuck it, i'll just stick with GOG.com

Yeah, I don't buy this one. Bethesda just recently brought their games to the PS3, I have a hard time believing they'd jump ship now that the PS4 will actually be easier to develop for.
And I can't for a second believe they'd abandon the PC Market. That's been their cornerstone for years. So, no unless I see a confirmation from someone I don't buy it.

erm... The next Elder scrolls isn't even in development yet. BGS is working on Fallout 4, so I doubt anything like exclusivity is even being discussed yet.Andy Shandy said:
Yeah... considering the modding community of Fallout and this new anti-modding stance the Xbox has I'd have trouble believing it. Oh and if any of those modders are reading, thank you. You breathe new life into those titles adding longer better constructed campaigns and great reasons to go back and replay aside from collecting lore.
Well his source is a neogaf user saying something about something a guy from giantbomb said.Terminate421 said:http://www.examiner.com/article/fallout-4-xbox-one-exclusive-rumor-details-revealed?fb_comment_id=fbc_522456414458106_5359678_522988617738219#f322fa38b4
I call bullshit on this one but I am also nervous if this is true, part of the reason I was comfortable being able to not pick up an Xbox One is knowledge that Fallout would still be available on PC.
(I would miss Halo so dearly)
Still, just a rumor. Wait till E3.
It wouldn't make sense from both a traditional or business perspective, DLC coming out first I can understand, the game itself?
So no, not fucking likely.
I think the backlash from the PC community would be very unpleasant and I don't think Bethesda are that stupid. I could see a limited time exclusivity, maybe on the DLC, but the full release of Fallout 4? Fuck no. Maybe they'll announce it at an Xbox event or claim it's exclusive, but it sure as hell won't last.
And you need to consider that the Xbox One, from what we currently know, is only targeted at the US market, in particular it seems to be targeted at the "dudebro" market and idiots with too much money that need all the shinies. So no, why would Bethesda basically axe their own european and asian markets as well as the US PC, PlayStation and even potentially Nintendo markets?
Nope, it's not gonna happen. As much as Microsoft would just LOVE for that to happen, it wont. If Bethesda were the sort to make decisions like this, they'd have been out of business for years already.
Besides, unreliable sources. It's just a silly rumour.

I doubt it would be suicide, but no, they wouldn't. Bethesda can, and most possibly will, agree to release the DLCs first on XBone, but still, that's not enought for me.TheYellowCellPhone said:
There is no logical way that would ever happen. Even if Microsoft paid Bethesda millions or billions just to get the one game to be an exclusive, they still wouldn't do it. It'd be suicide for the company.
That's my thinking if there were ever anything to this (unlikely since there'd be no real motivation to go exclusive to Microsoft). Microsoft has always been good at buying timed exclusives but overall exclusives eludes them.Diablo2000 said:
