From recent examples: Gris - only now coming to Xbox after years of absence and being on everything, even mobile phones. Neon White came to PS a couple of days ago in addition to PC/Switch but not on Xbox. Yes, will probably come later but still, the pattern is here - Xbox gets these games the last. There is the narrative in Xbox community that a lot of people are trying to make that Square Enix doesn't release their games because they "hate Xbox". My point is that this is total bs, and like it or not, but it's quite pragmatic business decision, and Square Enix is not the only publisher who does it. Xbox needs to grow a lot more in order to overturn this. |
When was the last time Xbox even considered funding their own JRPG title without cancelling it? Even if those attempts didn't bear much fruit in the past, it at least builds goodwill and shows they're trying to reach more audiences and diversify their product.
If Xbox just wants stick more with what appeals to their main base, you can't really complain when other publishers outside that base aren't keen to join hands.
