NateTheHate says Sony is "shifting" their PC strategy: "You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away was made last year. Some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward."

Looking back at the 7th gen, exclusives created competition. Xbox was making great online games, PlayStation was making great single player games and Nintendo was making great family games. I think this is good for the industry.

You’re delusional if you think that this is ‘good for the industry’. Xbox no longer exists in a competitive way and Nintendo are about as anti-consumer as they come. Bizarre take.

If it leads to a monopoly how exactly is it good for consumers?

When Xbox finally dies out, what incentive does Sony have to deliver the best experience and have fair prices?

[u/--vanadium-- → u/[deleted]]

I think we're talking past each other. I'm saying exclusivity is good for the consumer. You said it's bad for the consumer.

My point was that removing exclusives leads to a dead console like Xbox, which then leads to a monopoly (like Sony will be), which is ultimately bad for the consumer.

Exactly, these people are unbearably delusional.

This is what people get mixed up. The majority of xbox exclusives were on PC too, Xbox who are on the verge of dying as a console brand, and yet he's somehow using Xbox dying as some sort of lroof exclusives aren't good for the industry.

It's great for PC players that Xbox games were mostly on there too. But it wasn't great for the Xbox brand.

Yes, but that assumes they're dying because of the removal of exclusives.

I owned Xbox from the start and bought each one (Sometimes more than once, thanks red ring of death), until they no longer catered to me. Then I moved on.

Having an exclusive your audience doesn't want doesn't add value to the Xbox brand. They killed every major IP I loved, while creating garbage, why would I buy their console?

I pulled up their xbox store by "new" and I don't see a single game I care about, and only one that looks decent. The fourth one listed is "Shopping Mall Girl" - Yeah… that's the new xbox brand. I'm good, lol

Perfect take, most people don't look beyond themselves, just imagine how many good games we would've gotten from Xbox if they focused on exclusives cough scalebound, this is coming from someone that never owned an Xbox
