It wasn't just a good Xbox showcase, it was a great gaming showcase overall, considering that many of these are cross platform. Some of the best showcases in years, with a good variety of games. There were some exclusive bangers for Xbox for sure. Loved South of Midnight, it reminds me of Kena which is one of my favorites as of recent. Indiana Jones, Perfect Dark, Fable - each one of these games looks very promising. Even their live service shooter seems fun.
@Toot1st Assassins Creed's are not awful games, I enjoy some of them, but they are not masterpieces by any means. Ubisoft games and optimization is disliked by gaming community for a reason. When I load Sony exclusives I expect quality and I'm never disappointed, despite liking some games more than others. The quality is always there. Rockstar Games might be the only other developer on Naughty Dog level. CDPR didn't deliver with Cyberpunk, the launch was awful for both PC and consoles, the game was not what everyone hoped for, but sure in 2-3 years they updated the game to an adequate level. Bethesda games are lacking for years now as well as EA games, the list goes on. Resident evil might be another great series, I agree. Also indie developers are bringing quality too.
1000$+ is not expensive if you also use your computer for anything other than gaming like many people do. It sucks for people like me who don't like Windows and getting a good PC means getting it only for games, which is expensive, yes. But most people have laptops that can run games at least on medium setting, just enough to enjoy the experience.
@Specky seems like people would prefer mediocre quality games like Assassins Creed that everyone can play to high quality titles like Ghost Of Tsushima that were only possible because developers were focused on one platform and Playstation needed this type of quality to sell their ecosystem. I'm sure investors would prefer that since Assassins Creed definitely makes more money
Maybe try making not just blockbusters but some AA games too? Or just smaller games. Those make great exclusives, Nintendo knows. Playstation already has just a few exclusive games at most, getting a console becomes pointless in this scenario, PCs are not that expensive, you can already get a comparable PC for 1000$, just add a newer GPU in a few years - and you have yourself a PS6.. Plus no need to pay for online.
I wonder how popular it'd be if it wasn't on PC too. If PC day one release is helping that much (aside from it being a good game), I can see Sony sticking to this model in the future more and more.
@Sil_Am Xbox also had no exclusives for years and even now their output is still not great and was only possible because they had the money to buy publishers. In the end I guess everyone will be able to play PS games, and seeing Xbox porting their games to PS makes me think this is the future, not just PC ports. But I think it's gonna hurt the exclusive games output which is already not that great for PS5 generation. Of course there is a decent amount of great multiplatform titles, but if someone liked the quality of Sony's exclusive games, that might be gone after a while like it happened to Xbox.

Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
Switch port might be new for Sony. But what's really strange is that it's not on Xbox, makes no sense
