I do agree that would be a massive power play on Microsoft's part if they were to make all future installments of Doom, Fallout, Wolfenstein, etc. XBox exclusives. But, will they really do that is the question. I know they mentioned that titles not already in development for multiplatform would be handled on a case by case basis. But, we have already seen Microsoft release further iterations of Minecraft as multiplatform games after buying Mojang. If those titles remain multiplatform, not much really changes in the console landscape, outside of Microsoft being able to put those studios to work on potential new IP exclusive to XBox. I guess we'll have to wait and see how much leverage this acquisition has in terms of hardware sales.
