    It’s hard to justify an Xbox when there aren’t exclusives.

    Great for us, bad for console sales.

    If Sony ever completely gives up exclusives I imagine their console sales will plummet

      Exactly. I’m not exactly a hardcore gamer. But the fact that a PS5 + a gaming laptop enables me to potentially play 95% of all available games, really makes me wonder why I should get a Xbox (or switch for that matter).

        Why do you have a PS5 when virtually all its games are on PC? Are you just really ignorant and bought into the lie of “PlayStation exclusives”?

      The PC leeching form Xbox has been a great thing for players overall but it negatively impacts console players with the forced cross play. Xbox mainly wants you on their service, easier to sell Game Pass than a console.

          PC games rarely come to console but all console games go PC. PC has ruined multiple games via cross play due to rampant cheating and the advantages of kbm vs controller, any talk of auto aim on controller is just a distraction.

      I don’t own Xbox or but have a ps5 and switch but if i truly wanted to play one of their exclusives I rather just spent the extra to build a pc as it’ll allow me to play with friends on steam

      Yupp. PC gamers looking for a console on the side have 0 reason to buy Xbox, several to buy an PS5

      I’m thinking if the PS6 isn’t a Steamdeck knockoff, coupled with a Windows-compatible Gamepass knockoff, then the PS7 definitely will be. How long can the console market truly survive being outclassed at launch?

        Final Fantasy 16 is currently a Sony exclusive. Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth will be when it launches as well. Spider-Man 2 is also on my console and an exclusive.
