Xbox can only be saved with true exclusivity (no Steam/EGS) and big titles like COD. This won't move the needle. |
82% of console sales of Call of Duty are on Playstation. How much in total sales % PC makes up, I have no idea.
But lets assume if you drop PS and PC, you lose like 90% of the sales Call of Duty does. Maybe slightly less, if you can convince PC and PS5 players, to buy a Xbox for Call of duty.
How much money lost is that? They spent alot to get Call of Duty.... they don't want to kill the cash cow, after just buying it. "Data from industry tracker Circana noted that PlayStation captured 82% of all Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 total console dollar sales during its launch window."
Apparently by active player base, Call of Duty has more than double, that of Xbox's on PlayStation. That is despite it being on game pass. |
Yeah if they wish to make their platform relevant in the long term, they're gonna need to take risks and have their software sales decline to a fraction in the short to medium term. But it's the only way save Xbox regardless. Gears going console exclusive isn't gonna do anything.
