I don’t disagree with alot of things you write. I really don’t.
Every
• first party new IP, emphasis on “new”
you are listing here does absolutely fall into the category what people were missing about the Xbox brand for years now, actually for more than a decade. And you’re right – they are finally coming! Still not there for most of them, but they are coming.
But many
• already existing, just as of now first party IP (DOOM, CoD, Fallout, etc., it’s 22 in total in my count)
have always been multiplatform anyway & Xbox didn”t get people to be excited by “Look, WE now own them!”. It’s as simple as that.
And other
• already existing, originally planned as multiplatform titles IP (Hellblade, Starfield, Redfall, Indiana)
were intentionally excluded from Playstation after they were taken over. And why? To push X|S, which is fine. But it’s proof they indeed wanted to see if they could turn things around on the exclusive territory. Otherwise they wouldn’t have done it.
And, on the other topic I mentioned, please don’t compare Microsoft’s MPC business segment ( https://www.microsoft.com/e… with Sony’s Playstation segment.
It’s totally inaccurate to do so.
If you think it IS accurate, then please explain to me or everyone else why you think it’s accurate to not look at Xbox gaming numbers (if possible), but instead the whole MPC business segment which does include way more revenue and profits from other products than just Xbox.
