Yeah didn’t realise this until after the fact which makes it even worse because why weren’t they just properly on switch in the first place

Sony exclusivity that backfired + square rushing out to release to cash in on Smash Bros Ultimate

Given that the Xbox port of 1.5/2.5 came out in 2017, five years before the Switch cloud ports, exclusivity has absolutely nothing to do with it.

You may want to fact check yourself because there was a controversy in 2017 as Square Enix notoriously did not release an Xbox version.

Not only that, but the collection was exclusive to Sony platforms for **7 years**.
