True BC stay the same all along the gen and even like that it doesn't influence sales. In general people simple don't care much about older stuff. But don't seem you'll change your opinion since you can hold a "we can't measure because it is spread through the life of the console" and other ways to say that BC matters even if no one can prove.

Well I wouldn't expect MS to put the latest Halo on any other HW (wasn't it one of the few games they kept away from PC when they made the play anywhere?).

The point is that you probably wouldn't find half a dozen that can be prove that Sony paid to keep away from X1. From what I remember only Street Fighter had it. There is many accusations of Sony moneyhatting a lot of games this gen (like MHW) but almost none have any credible evidence, the ones that have we were aware from the get go. You can be sure that most of the games that are exclusive to PS4 and PC had 0 money paid by Sony.

You understand my stance on BC. It sucked when it started, but many highly requested games were added over time. I feel BC helped move hardware, XBL Gold subscriptions and Gamepass subscriptions. I'm not even arguing it was a massive boost, I'm just saying it helped.

The Play Anywhere thing started after Halo 5. Halo:MCC is coming, Halo Infinite will be there at launch, so Halo 5 is inevitable.

I'm not talking about moneyhatting. Just pointing out they share games with PC because they don't see it as a direct competitor.

If Sony didn't pay anything for the game how would it be an exclusive or prevent it from apearing on PC or anywhere else?
