Making the smaller stuff exclusive is non sensicle. If stuff like SoM flopped on PS5 (no idea if it did) then it for sure flopped on a system at 1/3 the install base and a sub service. If anything smaller games should 100% be multiplat, get all the sales they can.

From what I've heard, virtually every small game they have ported to PS5 has had sales ranging from flop tier to underwhelming. So I just went and looked at TrueTrophies to confirm, and yeah, the data is pretty bleak. Here are the TrueTrophies player counts for each of Xbox's AA and AAA ports to PS5 so far, in ascending order:

TTotal TrueTrophies users: 404k

I don’t think we should be taking a site that is missing the other 91.5m owners as a reliable source of how successful/or not these games are. Heck, Starfield at 4k owners yet we know it’s sold 1.5m on PS5. I’m not saying she won’t bring back exclusivity in some capacity atleast. It’s been 60 days so I’ll give her more than a chance considering we had Phil talking and not delivering for a decade but if she isn’t going to pull the plug fully on PS5 ports this year (the strongest slate of games in over a decade) then dont bother with exclusivity at all. Xbox’ view amongst gamers as a console was damaged long before the multiplatform push and the moment FH6, Fable, Gears ED and Halo land on PS5 then the damage will be permanent. 

But im a negative person in general and this is just my ramblings 😂
