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. |
From what I remember PC is the biggest platform for Bethesda RPGs. And this sounds like they might go Xbox/PC for everything not named CoD. Minecraft is an odd choice.
