		_2z1p on July 11, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzar... Sony is at little risk of harm here. They have a ridiculous amount of system selling platform exclusives. Microsoft has what Halo, Forza, Gears of War, and I guess Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020? They have a few other exclusives, but I don't think they're enough to make someone chose an Xbox over a PlayStation. Microsoft is seriously behind this generation and I just don't see them continuing next generation if they can't make up some ground this one.

These are genre-defining games, and have been historically multiplatform. Not just Activision, they did the Bethesda acquisition, before it. Now, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, will be only Xbox. And now Starfield is confirmed exclusively on Xbox. These are the games I buy a system for, and I only have a PS4 before.
