I think what this shows is people on other platforms want Microsoft's games. They just don't want to buy a gaming pc or Xbox to play them. So in my opinion they made the right call to make their games (at least most of them) available on Playstation, Switch, and soon Switch 2. People that still want to play on Xbox still have access to their games. Everyone wins. |
The only game on the list that is a Microsoft game was FH5 and a good game so congrats to that but the other IP's on that sales list already have built in audiences on the PS platform such as Doom, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls. etc All MS did was purchase those IP's years after the fanbase was already established. It has nothing to do with people not willing to buy a PC or Xbox to play them because the very next iteration of those IP's were never made exclusive. Everyone wins at this point but at the trade off of Xbox hardware sales. MS is making the only call they can at this point because they spent too much money trying to buy the entire industry until it caught the eye of Satya, Amy Hood and the shareholders.
