According to Jeff Grubb, Gears of War: E-Day will not release on PS5.
"Gears of War E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It's not anymore. That just happened. That was a decision that just got made."
This goes back to the CEO recently saying that Xbox needs exclusives, in order to push hardware.
Something alot of xbox fans have been saying for years (on twitter ect).
Meanwhile it seems to fly directly in the face, of what was said before hand by other leadership roles at xbox (ei. Phil and co.)
(ei. games are too big and expensive, to only be on xbox)
The thing is release of this is supposedly early September.
Which means they probably already have done work on the PS5 port.... so its just going to lay there, doing nothing.
Delayed launch on PS5? Who knows.
So will this help Xbox hardware sales this holiday? Opinions? Do they need to cut PC ports too, to see hardware sales?
Will this hurt Gears of War sales (software sales)?
Where does this lead Xbox? how many more games will be exclusive now?
Will they pull back games they already had announced ps5 launch dates for?
Thoughts?
