Now, your question about whether "every game" is more than fair. :) The bottom line is that I think they should put every game simultaneously on all platforms. But my guess is that if they want to retake some of the console market in the future, then I would wait for sure and keep some big-name exclusives (Halo, Gears, Forza, etc.). But again, financially speaking, there is no argument there. I'm talking from a business standpoint, not a gamer who favors one platform. |
Okay, let me see if I understand your point; so you're saying that exclusive games are worthless when it comes to attracting new customers now, but somehow will be good enough in the future to "retake some of the console market" if they so desire?
And if you wanna talk from a business standpoint, then I would advise you to check the Financial Reports for the last 2 quarters. In case you missed it, revenue was down YoY for both quarters, even thought MS just released 4 games on Playstation during that period (and SoT being one of the best selling games on PS) so clearly sales for those games were not enough to offset the loss in market share.
And if your answer is "Oh, but hardware sales were going to decline anyway" then I will have to ask you, why are X1 owners being less interested in upgrading than PS4 owners? I mean, there are still 25 million X1 owners out there, and those people must be Xbox fans to some degree, so why are they not upgrading?
