I agree. Scorpio doesn't need exclusives any more than Xbox One needs exclusives. MS is designing the Xbox One to work with PC gaming thanks to the Play Anywhere initiative. Pure console exclusives are a unnecessary thing now. If you game on PC, or if you game on Xbox, MS is the brand for you, and that is what matters. Besides most exclusives don't really sell all that great anyway. Well unless your name is Nintendo.

Wait Exclusives don't sell well then why every exclsusive Sony released since 2013 sold over 2 mil copies on a budget of 30-50 mil.

Hell let's look at ratchet and Clank people speculate that the game 20 mil budget sold over 2.3 mil.

I don't know if that isn't profit i don't know what it is.

Uncharted coverd it's cost and everything in a week selling 2.7 mil copies if that is not profit i don't know what it is and plus how much consoles it moved.

yup. they don't sell well. Not when you compare them to the AAA franchises like CoD and GTA. Good for them that they cover budget but they are not the big games people come for.
