Thats a long term goal of one company. Nintendo will keep making weird hardware to sell you pokemon, and make weird gimmicky stuff like labo.
Because off Wii we got Move from Sony, Kinect by Microsoft. All different but covering the same idea. If the software was on all of them, then what would make them distinguished from the other? OTHER THAN deliver and form factor?
It's like people here live in an alternate reality than how products work, and how competition is a thing.
Why doesn't coke just give their recipe to everyone?
If they did we wouldnt have so many competing products from Pepsi, and other cola/soda makers.
People's reasoning on here regardless of your open/free stance is really the dumbest thing I've ever listened too.
Exclusives are no different than the Coke/Cola recipe that other companies try to make their own, or make newer products to compete with said Coke/Cola.
Honestly as much as Bryank75 can be hyperbolic and fanyboyish, at least he/she is being honest about how the world works when it comes to products. Video games are products. Theres a reason we have multiple stores now for games on PC. Battle roayal is popular because theres so much competition. Some games are on everything others only couple platforms, and there are others that are literally only available on select platforms.
How this is not proof of competition from things like exclusives breeds innovation, inspiration?
Exclusives exist just like specific exclusive features, to sell people on specifc products. Been this way for a long time.
It's moronic that people on here dont get that,, and think that the only reason exclusives exist is to be anti-consumer.
Anyone who says exclusive are anti consumers, needs a reality check.
I like android, because I can watch pron on my phone, download app for it, save videos, and delete them. I dont have that freedom on iPhone. There are tons of apk, which are superb, that IPhone doesn't have, because of apple blocking download function like android.
Apple has the video chat, which Android lacks. Better graphic games, and smoother faster gameplay. But that won't make be pick apple. I need my needs. And apple doesn't allow me to reach it.
Same thing for consoles. I play on xbox for fifa, due to gamepass. No gamepass, means F you xbox. Something for PlayStation. I am not huge fan of their Exclusives. But that is the only place to play God of war, and infamous. So I have to get the console to play those games. The rest of their exclusive is meh to me. Good gameplay, but not that much wowoww.
As for xbox exclusive, they bought skyrim, and are doing fableR. I am looking forward to these 2 titles, and perfect darkR.
As for Nintendo, fun console. Ability to play on bed, is perfect for a lazy person like me.
Steam is my preferred storage for pc, due to their workshop. Or else, I would go to epic for their free games.
Pc is my major primary gaming. That is because of how much stuff I can do with it.
Without these stuff going on for each system, no one will buy them. I am at the verge of not getting a series console, because xcloud, and gamepass pc.
