The difference is, is that Phil Spencer has explicitly stated that they are not trying to out console Sony or Nintendo anymore. They have voluntarily dropped out of the console war. So, yes MS is not threatened by Sony or Nintendo anymore because they are not trying to sell more consoles than them. They are just trying to sell Gamepass and their games on other platforms now. For Sony and Nintendo, that is not the case. Their business model relies on them selling their console and handhelds. So, yes MS is putting their games elsewhere because they are not threatened by console makers anymore, as they have shifted strategy |
You could say much the same about Sony though; putting Horizon Adventures on Switch is due to their shift in strategy towards trying to maximise the reach of their software and increasing revenue by selling on PC and Switch rather than prioritizing exclusivity and hardware sales.
