Exclusives drive consumers interest. I don’t see anything wrong in platform holders making deals and co-funding certain games to create incentives for people to jump into their ecosystems.
If every games release on everything, it creates redundancy and makes platforms lose their appeal and uniqueness.
But I’m among gamers fortunate enough to be able to adopt any console I want, and in fact enjoy going from one to another (despite preferences). So while the PS5 will be my go-to console of choice (having been on PSN for the longest time), the XSX is just a few months away from taking its place in my entertainment room, because I am not going to miss out on the new Fable (unless it’s really, really bad, which I doubt it will be), Hellblade 2, potentially Everwild, the next Moon Studio game, and then there’s so many backward compatible games I want to try or get again (like Lost Odyssey)...
All platforms offer something of their own through services or exclusives and that’s what I like most when going from one to the other.
If they all offered the same things, it would be effin’ boring.
