I will say this: people are saying the pressure is now on Sony! But you know what? It’s actually on Phil Spencer! The heads at Microsoft are now going to say to him....make this work! If Xbox somehow doesn’t make money or falls behind PS5...who do you think is on the hot seat? Phil! Let’s see what happens!
Microsoft acquiring Bethesda is a blow to PS5, but lets speculate for a moment, as we don’t really know what Microsoft plans to do. Can Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc be exclusively made for Xbox? Yes, but does it make “business” sense? No! Why would any games manufacturer want to cut off 2/4 of your revenue(PS & Nintendo)? However, I can see the games being “timed exclusives”! Especially with next gen consoles coming! I mean even Sony has released their exclusives, HZD and Death Stranding, on PC!! Also it’s not like Bethesda release games on a yearly basis! Elder Scrolls 5 was released 9 years ago!! The gap between Fallout 3 & 4 was 7 years, Doom Eternal was just released ...so it’s not like we have to watch Xbox getting annual games! Like I said it’s a blow to Sony, but now we have to see how they respond!
