Halo Infinite basically had dying hype and isn't even talked about anymore and Redfall was such a major failure that it's not even viable. Other than that, there's nothing off the top of my head (hell, the two games I mentioned aren't even xbox exclusive since you can still play them on pc, so even that's not true).

@@jish55 PC has always been part of Xbox since the beginning bud so yah it's still an Xbox exclusive. Also, they released 2 games last year that has mostly to overwhelmingly positive reactions and this year they have Hi-Fi rush which is a surprise hit prior to red fall. Forza is still going strong. Also, if you're talking about it not being exclusive because they're coming to then PS has no exclusives but TIMED EXCLUSIVES because they're all be coming to PC anyway

[@reqsil2748]

God forbid Microsoft has finally started making big developer acquisitions to stay semi competitive against the Sony Samurai. Exclusivity is a plague in gaming but the absolute worst offender has been Sony by a long shot in the past decade. Sony is like that one cousin you try to hangout with at a family function that’s just negative and doesn’t want to have fun with anyone else

[@gravekeepersven82]

Plus it's the relative that just shows up to the family cook out eats the food , glares at anyone questioning them , gets drunk and leaves.

[@jish55]

Honestly, I don't even see this as them trying to remain semi competitive and instead doing this to eventually move fully onto gamepass and leave the Xbox brand behind. If Microsoft was so set on keeping Xbox in relevancy, they'd have done a lot more to have games solely on Xbox and not also put every game they release onto pc through gamepass. I honestly see Series X being the last Xbox console and they move to have Gamepass on Playstation as well so as to have a bigger market.

At this point I cant tell who's dumber, Sony or PlayStation fanboys. Not one argument from the Sony side makes any sense. I still don't see how any gamer can support a company so much so that they feel that that company can do no wrong and they actually defend that companies anti consumer practices even though it's hurting them, the gaming industry, and the gamers wallets. Smh They also seem to forget how Sony bought their way to victory in the console wars that saw Sega go out of business in the console industry by making developers sign contracts to NOT make games for Sega and also by buying already established studios to be first party for Sony. Of course those pages of gaming history have been torn out of their books or even worse they are probably stuck together from the fanboys rubbing out to all those shady business dealings. Anyway, as long as they keep busy crying about hypocritical bullshite, the rest of us GAMERS, not fanboysof any particular group, will benefit from just playing good games and actually enjoying ourselves with what we do have instead of whining about what we don't have on our preferred console. Take care everyone and the moment you see a chance to make a fanboy lose their shite and start crying, tak3 advantage of it so the rest of us can laugh at their stupidity. 👍😉

I think it sort of dawned on me after this video. Sony is afraid that Microsoft will act like them and will keep certain games off the PS5 like they did with Street Fighter 5, some Square Enix titles and a couple of other stuff from third parties. Which is why Jim Ryan and Sony became so desperate in trying to block this deal, they are afraid that Microsoft will act like them but the difference is that, Microsoft will try to be more "fair" in the sense of PR by putting it on Nintendo and Sony consoles while also gaining more profit. Like you said, the gaming industry will be very different in 10 years and by then if COD remains popular, it would be insanely stupid of Microsoft to not renew the contract for another 10 years. Sony just proved how aggressively stupid they are under Jim Ryan.

"Take my money to a real franchise like overwatch." I as an overwatch player laugh at that statement. Is the overwatch franchise bad? Not really. Is it as good as COD? Not in this day and age.
