But at the same time, I think that there is some strategic validity to making games exclusive on your console.

And, you know, Sony obviously...

agrees with that quite a bit, having backpedaled on all their PC releases.

There you go.

But I do think that

for Xbox in particular, the timing of this backpedaling doesn't particularly make a lot of sense.

They have new hardware announced that is allegedly on the way either next year or early the year after.

Their consoles are

are largely hard to find out in retail stores now.

The prices are out of control for their console that has a limited shelf life now.

So having the exclusivity sort of kick in again at the very back end of this generation feels...

Like it's going to be a fairly unsuccessful pursuit for the company.

Yeah, and it's a little weird.

Like, what's your number one want as a consumer?

It's for other consumers to be unhappy?

Is that the idea?

Sony's making me so unhappy that I want Sony fanboys to be unhappy too.

And that's what I want.

That's how you win.

I do think that, like, backpedaling into exclusivity now, like, as Asha Sharma, like, who has just taken over the company, like, the results of exclusivity on Gears of War E-Day and, what's that, Clockwork Revolution?
