If this does well, especially sales, I could easily see next TES also going exclusive.

If They sell the shite out of it, why ever care about Sony. You will either sell to xboner peeps or computer peeps. ZERO reason to lower yourself for that other console.

I'm not even sure they care about sales. Xbox wants Game Pass subscribers.

Just one of the best selling consoles of all time. But yeah, zero reason.

This game is going to be a system seller, so MS would be hurting itself in the long term if they brought that game to Playstation. It's smart business if your goal is to get people on to GamePass.

But that statement is just silly.

Microsoft Gamepass has outsold PS5 over the last 3 months. This is of course directly related to supply shortages for next gen consoles, but should also be recognized for the vision of Gamepass for Microsoft.

Somewhere in a dark corner in Redmond, there is a skunk works team already working on

"Microsoft GamePass for Playstation"

The only reason PSNow is worth a damn is thanks to Game Pass

There are 3 billion gamers in the world and just around 120 million PS4/5 in use.

I do not think being the best selling console really means much

Hell I would almost put money that they have that and the Switch version ready to go already. But I can't imaging Sony or Nintendo going for it.

Tbh the scarcity of the PS5/Series X in physical stores has helped Switch sales tremendously (not that they needed it). I almost gave up and bought a switch until Walmart sacked up on orders in mid december.

It might be. But remember, these are the same people who made Fallout 76 and Wolfenstein Young Blood. They have definitely taken a few steps back recently. And nobody knows if this game will be any good.

The studio that made 76 has not been working on Starfield.

They didn't pay 7 billion for no reason. Of course their games going forward will be exclusive.
