When they acquired Bethesda, a similar concern was brought up. Fast-forward to today, new Bethesda games aren't releasing on Sony consoles. It started with Starfield. TES6 won't release on PS either.
- zuminator 3y agoThere are a ton of Nintendo and Sony exclusives, so to compete on an equal footing eventually Xbox will need some good exclusives as well. If all their premium AAA titles are released on PlayStation, and PlayStation has a ton of premium titles that don't get released on Xbox, why would anyone bother buying an Xbox? You don't have to have any great love for Microsoft to acknowledge that their departure from the console market would restrict consumer choice and hinder console development.
- stale2002 3y agoWell seeing as Microsoft has signed and has offered to sign 10 year deals on not making certain games exclusive, then nobody has to "trust" Microsoft to do anything. Also, you can just look at all the non exclusive games Microsoft has.
- Capricorn2481 3y agoWhile I'm not excited about this, it's hard to really bring up Sony in this context. They have been horrible about exclusives and only recently started putting anything on PC, not to mention they were the reason cross-play was held off on for so long
- lagadu 3y agoConsidering how terrible Sony is, almost Nintendo-level, at making sure their titles are exclusives, bringing them up only makes Microsoft look good by comparison: they have by far the fewest exclusives of the three big console makers.
