Interesting. XB acquires studios and makes them exclusive to MS platforms, while SIE acquires middleware and allows the competition to use it. Is next gen going to partially flip where MS is the brand who is all about exclusivity and PS is about making money by other means, like profiting from any games on any platform that utilize SIE owned software?

MS owns Havok which is most definitely not exclusive to their platform.

That's basically my point. That's not common knowledge, but PS4 exclusive AAA titles are. So next gen, while PS5 will still follow suit, will it be MS first party titles that become well known and praised, while PS is more quiet while making money behind the scenes like MS is now?
