No, it is not.
Not when they compete with exclusive content.
It would be good if they had the same content but compete with the UI (in such case Netflix would win, and HBO would loose, as they have the worst possible UI), streaming content etc.
- giancarlostoro 6y agoNot as bad as some others I have tried. Disney Plus gets on my last nerve at times. Just try to rewind like you would in other apps with a bluetooth remote.
- jamesrcole 6y agoMost (all?) of that exclusive content only gets produced because of exclusivity, I’d think. I.e. we get a greater number of shows because of exclusivity.
- mywittyname 6y agoThe gaming industry has move (largely) away from exclusives and that has been a net improvement for content. I suspect the pendulum will swing away from exclusive content for television shows. Producers might make more money up front from the deals, but the long game favors those who establish brands with broad market appeal, and the way to do that is to get your content in front of as many eyes as possible.
- taurath 6y agoHuh? The most popular console (Nintendo) is almost entirely exclusive games. Playstation and XBox are less exclusive than they've been, but not by much (FF7 Remake was PS4 exclusive as well).
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 6y agoTimed exclusive is not the same as permanent exclusive though. Ff7 remake is coming to pc, they just haven't figured out when.
- taurath 6y agoSure, permanent exclusives are generally only first party. Bungie/halo was one but thats because MS at the time didn't have enough first party studios.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 6y agoWell the big difference is Nintendo, they have a large amount of permanent exclusives.
- mywittyname 6y agoTen+ years ago, it was common for best selling games of the year to be a console exclusives. Today is much more rare. The Switch may be the most popular console, but it's install base is a small fraction of PS4+XBone+PC+Switch. So even Nintendo exclusives purchased by the majority of owners can't sell as many units as the latest Call of Duty. Heck, even the The Witcher 3 has sold more units than the best selling Switch game.
- dougmwne 6y agoThe exclusives fight in gaming is ramping up again with the cloud streaming services. Google's Stadia and Nvidia are racing to lock up content. Microsoft is about to launch out of beta as well and each service will compete on their library.
- scarface74 6y agoDo we really want to go back to aggregators?
- krzyk 6y agoAfter critical mass of number of movie providers one will just go back to piracy. There is only so much one can stand. If the market is spread to thin then pirating content will be less frustrating than getting it on streaming service (if you have to subscribe to 8 of them).
