Volte posted:New franchises are likely to be MS-exclusive but it's a different story from long-established cross-platform franchises becoming suddenly exclusive. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I wouldn't assume it based on Grounded or Avowed being MS-exclusive. Basically. MS bought Minecraft for 2.5b and they still sell it on every platform possible. Harrow posted:Like with most Xbox exclusivity stuff, this probably won't have any affect on you if you have a gaming PC, because "Xbox exclusive" really means "Xbox and Windows exclusive" these days.  rules

It'll still come out, those deals have been signed. The same thing happened with Starfox Adventures, that was released on Gamecube after the Rare buyout.

I said come in! posted:No Elder Scrolls VI on PlayStation 5 is going to be a pretty massive blow to Sony. Seeing Skyrim imagery pop up in early PS4 ads was always a bit weird. I mean yes they sold a lotta copies of the game on the PS3 and the PS4 as well but when I think of Skyrim on Playstation my thoughts weren't of like...good times.

Also surprised Phil Spencer is okay with having to do another generation of interviews where people ask, "Can you put this on Switch? (And Playstation I guess they'll ask now as well)" in interviews cuz he was seemingly getting tired of being asked that all the time recently. But I guess he doesn't mind as long as the money keeps rolling. I mean I remember either him or someone else saying that Ori 2 was going to stay Xbox/PC exclusive for a long while and then five/six months later it just shadow drops on the Switch like boom there it is.

the actual reason to assume that microsoft will make bethesda games exclusive to xbox is they just spent several billion dollars to acquire them instead of just negotiating a game pass contract or timed exclusivity on a game by game basis

I wonder if Sony's eyeing up any similar acquisitions at the moment. They must be a little nervous about Microsoft's strategy. MS only seems to be buying western studios so maybe Sony will start sweeping the Japanese market.

At best we get Skyrim PS5 enhanced, but that's it.

I think anyone who thinks ZeniMax/Bethesda games might still come to other consoles--barring Deathloop, which had a preexisting arrangement that probably won't change at this point--is underestimating the value to Microsoft of getting people on the Xbox platform. If there's anyone out there whose console buying decision can be even somewhat influenced by "can I play Skyrim on it?" then there's more reason for Skyrim: Yet Another Enhanced Port Edition to be only on Xbox and not PS5. Would they make money from selling copies on PS5? Sure. But they'd make a lot more money in the long term if they instead drove up Xbox sales, got more people on Game Pass, etc.

also, grounded and avowed being new IPs is an argument to NOT make them exclusive because you want them to get as much visibility as possible for them to achieve maximum possible success. microsoft is stunting both games' potential debuts in making them exclusive, and it's because they acquired these studios specifically to make them xbox exclusive. otherwise they would have negotiated timed exclusivity contracts or gamepass contracts which wouldn't cost 7.5 billion dollars

also Sony buying up Japanese studios wouldn't make any sense because those studios in essence are already developing for the PlayStation primarily. what would make more sense is Sony getting the rights to make specific IPs that they know westerners would enjoy but aren't being made, like MGS and Castlevania

I do wonder if Sony's "prestige exclusives" strategy will work out again in the next generation like it appeared to for the PS4. They seem less about just having a ton of studios they own and more about having a few studios and making sure the Playstation has a big, fancy, capital-I Important exclusive game each year. They've got Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, and Santa Monica Studios just kinda passing the ball around and each year at least one of them has something big and fancy to make the Playstation look good.

They also have the advantage of a lot of Japanese publishers and studios tending to focus on Playstation since it's more popular in Japan.
