It goes both ways. Making the big games exclusive to Xbox brings in more potential hardware sales.
Small games like Death Loop, Tokyo Ghostwire, and etc can rake up extra cash on all platforms since they're not big enough franchises.

Microsoft would be dumb as fuck to keep huge games like Starfield and Elder Scrolls off Playstation.
They don't want to make millions of extra dollars? I doubt it. Will they do everything they can to make them look absolutely more stunning on Sexbox? Of course.

I don't think a game is "too small" to be exclusive either.
I.e grounded and battletoads.

The exact same reason Sony Let The Last Of Us come to The Xbox, Right?

We know that is bullshit.
Their final silicon and final devskits were just out at similar time.
Even the production date on consoles are similar.

Xbox sales are a drop in the bu net for MS, I doubt trying to price gouge Sony is their objective. They’re trying to build their GamePass exclusive content.

We dont know that, we have 3rd parties saying they had more time with sony dev kits

Of course if you look at the budget and marketing. They'll just let the game go out there and see what response it garners. We haven't seen much of those two games (Death Loop and Ghostwire). They're not really giving it a lot of marketing from what I've seen at least.

Lol okay you may have a point there
I’m playing Bethesda’s games on PC anyway so I don’t know why this vague PR message gets me so frustrated. I should be more worried that they haven’t announced that their games will be on Steam and will have Steam Workshop mods yet.

Source?
Not all devs received PS5 devkits in June/July... not all devs received GDK Dev kits in June/July... some received both, others received just one... Sony and MS list are not equal.
Petty sure big AAA devs got both in June... same exactly date? Nope but maybe just few days or weeks of difference.

I'll see you in late 2022. If TES 6 is exclusive I'll buy an xbox. (never owned one)

Very ambiguous, intentionally so. On one hand, they get more people to buy Series X with the vague reply. On the other, they leave the door open for the big AAA titles like Skyrim, Doom, and Starfield to appear on PlayStation with a “we said some, not all” clause. In the meantime, they get a ton of free press with speculative articles and posts on forums like this.
I’m so tired of corporate bullshit.

This mentality doesn’t make sense. Why not release Sony Ips on Xbox and make more money?

I redid the poll on this:

Poll: Do You Believe Any Bethesda Games Will Come to Playstation in the Future?
The last thread got off on the wrong foot and the poll was incomplete, so let's try again. I wanted to know where GAF stood on this in preparation, presumably, for some sort of information from Microsoft. Sorry that it's a little verbose, gotta cover all bases. Edit: not verbose enough...

No they aren't. Devkits are leased not sold, and interfering with them is legally actionable.

ethomaz lol'd a link to the wayback machine.
ethomaz
do you know what way back machine is? It’s a snapshot from the website as it was at a moment in time. What it means is that your recollection is wrong and Bathesda definitely didn’t announce the game with a PS logo. Not sure what’s funny about that, you should probably just admit you were wrong.

From "Xbox having no games" to "Xbox having no exclusives". Progress at least.

Not really, if you have Gamepass you know you'll get all the games day one, if you've got a PlayStation you've got no idea still.

People who invested in 500$ box would prefer spending 70$ for a game, rather than spending another 500$ for GamePass.
From any common logic - unless you are running out of money - making the games exclusives made a perfect sense.
But it's Xbox. Common sense != Xbox.

They are both.
You can buy DevKits or received free from Sony/MS.
If you enter in the PlayStation development program you can buy a PS4 devkit... the PS5 not yet because it is limited in quantities and Sony didn’t started to sell it.
BTW PS4 Devkit costs around $2500.
Anybody can buy it to start to develop a PS4 game (Sony still needs to approve your game to be released when it is done even if you brought a devkit).

Do people even realize what "some" means.So what's new here?
Seems like the same thing we knew last month
Well I guess now we know all future titles won't be exclusive, only some...
Not the news I'd want to here after multi Billion dollar investment.
It literally means "an unspecified number". It could be 1 game. It could also be ALL games. Or it could be all but one game.
Its deliberately chosen to keep people talking. And it obviously works.

Gamepass is about 170 games, not one.

Most of them are the games, people already played the last generation. I personally bought Xbox 360 for a single game, because of system seller not because of Xbox Live perks.

Cope, the only PS exclusives going to PC are old.By that logic with all those ps exclusives going to pc. "Lmfao no more exclusives for Playstation".
Call me when the new PS5 exclusive release at the same time on PC and PS5.
Riky
$MSFT
That's because we're only a few months into this generation so of course the majority of games are from last gen, that will change over time and with the amount of first party studios Microsoft now have the balance will shift substantially over the years, plus the first party games don't leave the service.

Omg you've totally changed my mind.
Except the fact that a lot of bethesda games have previously existed on other platforms.

Access to their IP, and to open the door to freely incorporating them into GamePass.
Also Zenimax was a profitable business already, it was a decent buy for anyone including rivals like Google and Amazon.

Since when were those games multiplatform? (I don't agree with the other person about Starfield though, I don't think that was ever announced as multiplat).
I personally couldn't give a shit about most of Bethesda games, though I did buy buggy Skyrim twice
I think the last game I bought of theirs was Fallout 76 and I didn't even bother installing it
Will check out Ghostwire when that releases, looks interesting/weird and I love ghost stuff.

Very much looking forward to Microsoft giving me a reason to buy a Series X. GamePass doesn’t cut it for me at all. Hoping to see these Bethesda exclusives looking great and not too far away.

I'm inclined to think that too, they're still being intentionally vague about future plans though even with the purchase having been completed

I’m still waiting his reply why Series X’s GPU has old parts from GCN to RDNA.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone chat so much shit with so much authority. No offence mate.
He keep PR all parts are RDNA2 when we already know it is not.

No.
DevKits are sold too.... about $2500 depending of the add-ons for PS4.
So how much does it cost to develop for PlayStation 4?
Microsoft has swung open the gates to indie developers by making the Xbox One a development kit in its own right. But how much does it cost to start creating indie games for Sony's rival...
www.google.com.br
BTW like I said most know devs gets the DevKits free from Sony but you can buy if you enter the PlayStation development program.
There is a loan program too.

I understand, and would completely agree with this take if I thought MS needed brand exposure more than anything else. But MS has the reputation, and has dominated countless (gaming) news cycles the last 10 years. At this point I think they need less brand exposure, and more purchasers / subscribers. And I am not convinced that promising "some" non-disclosed games will be exclusive translates to sales / subscriptions in the present. And the present is when these consoles should start becoming attainable (hope so anyway).

GAF and Twitter. Do you ever talk about anything else aside from console battles? On this board that's all you do. Is your Twitter the same?
