Saw a cnbc or news reporter asking Phil about if Starfield will come to other platforms. Never has this ever happened to any other platform holder to this degree lmao

It really hasn't happened in video games, at least not in a very long time that a major third party or really any third party got purchased by one of the 3 console makers.  Prior to the recent third party buying spree, the last major company purchased where the games were taken away from another console that I can remember was when Microsoft purchased Rare.  Sony purchases some 2nd parties along the way like Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, and Bend Studio.  Nintendo has purchased some 2nd parties.  Microsoft purchased some games like Halo, and Gears of War before they released on other consoles to secure them.  But we hadn't seen anything like this in recent memory.  At this point they should stop with the silly questions, because we all know the answer and Sony fans just need to move on and play them in the cloud somewhere if they don't want to purchase and Xbox.

Yeah pretty much this. I personally feel worse for diehard Nintendo fans when it comes to third party games. Xbox fans will argue they could've gotten FF16 and Sony fans will argue they could've gotten Starfield, whereas Nintendo fans knew from the start they weren't getting either lol. And not just when it comes to exclusivity. Major games like Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Baldur's Gate 3. It was never in question on whether or not these games were coming to Switch. 

Gamers have to decide just how much they want to play a certain game. Suck it up and get whatever device is needed to play the games you want to play.
