Microsoft bringing four Xbox exclusives to PlayStation and Switch

Microsoft Corp. will make four exclusive Xbox games available for Nintendo Co.’s Switch and Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation, sharing homegrown titles with rivals in the first significant way as the company looks to boost revenue in a stagnant gaming market.

Having more outlets to increase games sales will give Microsoft the resources to move forward with some “early plans” for future consoles, as well as new devices, gaming chief executive officer Phil Spencer said Wednesday in an interview ahead of a press event.

It started with four, and gott-damn there will be more.

Sarah Bond's proclamation of 'the biggest jump in performance' (paraphrase) for the next XBox does not bode well: this is not about technology, it's all about entertainment. Personally I would've canned XBox and pivoted to their comfort-zone: PC. They can still make PC-like 'consoles' and handhelds if they wanted to stay in hardware. But Steam already one-upped them there. So I dunno. If I was in the market for anything XBox related: I would have cancelled all plans.
 
To be fair the PS5 does need other games besides, Spider-man, GoW and TLoU (remake,remaster, 2, remake, remaster)
 
Does MS know PlayStation is dOooooOOoomed? Why would they possibly port their games to a dying platform?

Well it's a good thing it has loads more than that but it doesn't stop you from beating the same old tired drum hey?
 
Microsoft are so desperate.
 
Microsoft Game Pass, the only games subscription you’ll ever need. Bring your own hardware be it PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc.

That’s how you can justify this. The software as a service mode sure is beautiful
 
We need Bloodborne remake for PC and Bloodborne 2
