No one denies a great exclusive can't sell a console, it just doesn't hold a huge impact that people here think. Multiplatform games is what most ps4 owners play. The beginning of this generation (first three years) Sony didn't have a huge console seller until Uncharted 4 and ps4 was selling well before it was released. Microsoft is buying these studios mostly for xbox game pass, not really for their console. They realize in order to have a netflix model, they have to do three things. 

1. Get xbox game pass everywhere which is what they're going to use Xbox cloud service for.

2. Have constant games coming in (thus the new studios and their deals with indies).

3. Cheap monthly price.

These games being native xbox console exclusive is just a bonus for them, but they are trying to dominate the subscription service because it is worth a lot more.

@Snoopy you do realize that your whole argument was based on the fact that you think Xb is going to do great next generation because they acquired these new studio to make exclusives. if that's not the case and u believe Exclusive don't matter much they why do u think MS will do great in next gen.. what will be the difference next gen compared to this gen?? I M confused 

Xbox is more than just consoles. Xbox has become a service that's why soon you will play xbox games everywhere, even on your phones. In fact, if the xbox streaming service is great, I might not even buy a console next generation. The new studios will help just a little for console sells because I don't expect these studios to produce games that sell on the level of Halo, Gears and Minecraft. Multiplatform games are still the games people play the most. These studio accusations are for xbox game pass because they have to have constant new games for it. Xbox consoles will do better next generation automatically if they don't make the console more expensive than the competitor and they can dominate North America and U.K. again if they play their cards right.

Xbox One X will also still be a viable console because I don't expect PS5 and Xbox scarlet to be drastically better. Which might be a great option for those on a budget when next gen starts.
