| shikamaru317 said: I'm kind of shocked they would even be considering console exclusivity for Minecraft moving forward, CoD of course is too big and they are still mandated to keep it multiplat until like 2033 because that was part of their acquisition deal, but Minecraft is even bigger than CoD, they averaged 40m copies a year the last 3 years, a game selling 40m copies a year in it's 12th, 13th, and 14th years on the market is unheard of outside of Minecraft. I would say everything smaller than CoD and Minecraft makes sense for console exclusivity. Elder Scrolls probably stands to lose the most copy sales over it of the series smaller than those two, but it would also move alot of Project Helix hardware. Asha clearly wants to revive Xbox as a platform, and that just isn't going to happen without significant exclusives. |
I am assuming they mean things like Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends. There isn't going to be a new installment of THE Minecraft (i.e Minecraft 2). It's just the spin-offs they may be considering, and I don't think it would hurt the Minecraft IP to have the small spin-offs console exclusive.
The wording is weird and it is only a hypothetical question but I doubt they would be legally allowed to remove an existing game that is already available for sale, the Minecraft, from PSN/eShop.
