Was ES1+2 on Sony platform or an ms one?, Was ES 3 on a Sony Console or an Ms One?. And did ES4 Launch on a Sony Console or an MS one?

How many games did beth release on a Sony platform that wasnt remasters etc?. i think beth and Obsidian are two bad points to make as they always worked more closely with MS then Sony... I still get what your saying but you used 2 bad examples..

Elder scrolls games were primarily on PC and OG Xbox. Then with 7th gen they started to appear on Sony platforms—Ditto with Obsidian titles. It was part of a trend in 7th gen to take game series that had been exclusive to one or two platforms, and make them fully multiplatform. Final Fantasy and GTA both went this route as well during the 7th gen. Now imagine if Sony had bought both Square-Enix and Rockstar in order to make those two franchises exclusive to PS5. That's pretty much what Xbox did by buying up Bethesda and Obsidian. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Final Fantasy, and GTA were exclusive not for moneyhat reasons, but rather for hardware reasons. All four series went multiplatform in the 7th gen, because hardware became so similar that it was easy to develop for Sony, Xbox and PC at once. 

Oh and before you try stating that FF7, and FF8 were on PC, please know that these ports nearly broke Squaresoft. They were nightmare projects and did not make any money due to the insane nature of porting to Windows back then. This is why so many developers just stuck to PS2 after trying to port PS1 games to PC. 

change "buy" the company to "money hat" the company, or why did it take so long for the latest FF games to be ported to xbox or PC since they are all so similar now?... AND all them games where exclusive for money hat reasons or why did you think they took so long to come to an xbox console and got bad pc ports....
