Hmmm.... Thread title prediction is pretty reasonable, the specific dates and events not so much.
Especially with next Xbox console development already leaked.
But I feel like equating that with 3rd party i.e. non-exclusivity is a misnomer.
I think MS may eventually get to fully dropping exclusivity, yet still be selling Xbox consoles.
Obviously the dual console consumers no longer would have a reason for Xbox consoles.
But for the ones never swayed by Sony 1st party games, it doesn´t really change anything.
It´s still a good and familiar place to play games they like, conventionally or thru a GP subscription.
Maybe the GP offering will change, but no reason it can´t exist in some form that´s profitable (even if that looks like PS+).
If one wants to call that ¨3rd Party Box¨, I have no problem with that.
I also kind of doubt the name Xbox will be dropped.
Changing to MS doesn´t really help them for this market, or for potential sale or merger scenarios. |
Is this just too much deflating the drama, or what?
