    And it seems like a good idea, for the most part. If they want to keep selling consoles, they can make the non-multiplayer games exclusive for 6 months to a year.

    They’ve had a rough handful of years. They just didn’t put out enough 1st party sellers.

    If they fully commit to “no exclusives” I’ll be somewhat surprised. That’s only bc I understand how corpos can learn the wrong lesson from their mistakes.

      There’s no reason for the rest of the generation. It will just kill sales for those games. The “series” consoles are a completely lost cause.

      If they want exclusives as a strategy, it needs to be at launch of the next generation. Until then even short timed exclusives just cost them money.
