Sony is porting some games to PC and even Xbox/Switch, but sure we can say it would be more likely that their titles would be kept exclusive. But sure pretend you aren't using two different standards here and that you are very neutral.

Don, porting SOME games to PC is not on Par with what MS are doing with their entire library. Also SOME is more than 1, so what are the other 1st party Sony exclusives coming to Switch and XBox outside of a sport game?

Also please tell me what standards am i taking into this debate without being neutral? Maybe ill ask you the same question?

You agree that Sony will more likely keep their titles exclusives sooo whats with the 2nd part, if you agree than there is no side taking, its simply logic.

I'm curious what these games are, because I'm assuming you're talking about games that had existing contracts in place like Hellblade switch. 

Also this idea that MS is reacting to Sony is so bizarre. MS have also secured timed exclusives for XSX. But, more importantly, they are putting their money into securing day 1 game pass releases. This is why we aren't seeing major time exclusive plays: Gamepass' is their future, so they are using their money to prioritise that service.

Heard of the little game known as Ori? 

Ask Don why MS are buying studios in retaliation to Sony exclusives. His the one that said it.

Don's words "And of course Sony picking up this timed exclusivity will force MS answer into buying another 8 studios."

Guess for all the attacks that English isn't my first language you failed in reading, some PS4 exclusives ported to PC and even Xbox/Switch. Means the focal was on some to PC (Horizon for example, allowing Detroit and Death Stranding is another) and even Xbox/Switch is the addition which is MLB.

You can ask me and I'll say I'm a Sony fan without holding the pretenses you and Ludicrous hold of being neutral and impartial.

The MLB thing is probably not even Sony’s choice to go multiplatform. The other pro leagues have stipulations in their video game deals restricting exclusive games. This is likely the first time Sony has had to renew after 2k stopped doing MLB games. Doesn’t make sense for the MLB and MLBPA to leave money on the table. Plus The Show is full of micro transactions and pay to win crap like NBA2k (not nearly as bad though), so it should give Sony a good revenue boost for the franchise as well.

But yes Azzz you’re correct, it’s disingenuous to paint a picture like Sony supports multiple consoles with “some” games, it’s literally one sports game. Wake me up when I can play LoU2 MP on Xbox.

Sure sure, Sony had a deal with MLB and the league forgot for over 5 years that the other platforms exist.... unless you can bring evidence to the table that Sony was forced to make it multiplatform instead of the current interpretation that either Sony saw they could make more money and wouldn't impact their consoles sales or that the league offered a better deal if they made it multiplatform, because it was already show that other licenses for MLB were tried and failed.

Haven't seem anyone painting any pictures here, so perhaps you could paint your strawman in another neighborhood.
