You always have to strike while the iron is still hot. This also goes for licensing IP as well.
| shikamaru317 said: Nintendo seems to pay for longer exclusivity deals than either Xbox or Sony. We've seen some like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 which is still Switch exclusive after almost 4.5 years, even though a port to other platforms was leaked as planned like 2 years ago as part of the very accurate GeForce Now leaks. Sucks. If I had to guess I'd say that Nintendo paid for 3 year timed hats on both of those games, and that the planned Marvel ports to PC and other consoles were cancelled because Koei Tecmo and Disney didn't think the sales on such a late port would justify the porting costs, but I suppose the deal could be even longer than 4 years, possibly an "until the generation ends" type deal which we have seen a few times over the years on hat deals. I do think that Sega will port to SMT V to PC and other consoles as soon as their contract with Nintendo allows them to, they seem to believe strongly in full multiplatform now unlike when the Persona 5 and SMT V hat deals were originally signed many years ago. |
I hardly doubt there was any deal regarding Persona 5. People often forget how niche Persona series were before 5. And the fact that Atlus just got acquired by SEGA. Back then Atlus was a very small company and couldn't even afford worldwide release of the game. And yet, you expect them to go multiplat. Releasing only on Playstation just made more sense at the time. I don't think there is any deal involved at all.

I forgot but is "Most Anticipated" for all announced titles or only those announced for 2024?
Also, are you not doing an overall rating this year?
Where we rate each XGS (now BGS + ABK) release + Overall 1st party + Overall 3rd party + Overall Rating and whatever else can be added?
I should be able to fill out a lot more this year 
I was looking forward to rating Xbox overall as well.

Went ahead and added ratings for you.

Would it be worth adding something like an overall rating for announcements/events too?
Either way it's something which I will take into account for my overall rating of Xbox in 2023.

I think I'll allow any announced games since release dates are so fluid these days with so many delays and early announcements.
My preliminary votes, still have several games I plan to at least start playing before I end voting, including hopefully Baldur's Gate 3.
