Of course not. People know better but assumed the worst for Xbox. Frankly I think haters/pessimists and people generally not invested in Xbox decided to take the 1-2 year quote and interpret it as “All Xbox exclusives for 2 years will be cross gen” AKA “Xbox bad PlayStation good”. Good riddance to this narrative now that both companies are on the same page now. |

A mountain out of a mole hill for 3 months for nothing. I also thought it was good business with the approach and consumer friendly. Win win. More profit for the software sold on a larger install base, and no hurry to upgrade during the transition period. |
Well I don't know why people would just assume the worst for Xbox though. I mean, sony says this with every gen, we will support this for 10 years and whatnot. And they are doing it now. While as was the case in the past that has never meant that everything releasing or he next two years of the new-gen also makes it way to the older gen, it has meant that the older gen still gets a game or two here and there. Hell, Persona 5 eve was on the PS3 in 2016.
I think what got everyone thinking as the did about the XSX/S was MS tagging the whole we don't believe in generations thing right along with our first-party games will be cross gen for the next "couple" years thing. That just comes across like everything will be cross-gen.
Truth is I don't even care if any company makes everything cross-gen. My thing is that it should at the very least be new-gen exclusive for a while unless that company actually doesn't care of getting people onto their new console.
