Being gamer parents, our kids normally get to play with our consoles and get the old ones by default. We buy on launch when we can. Imagine their surprise when we got them their own Xbox Series S. There was stunned disbelief and then happy screaming.

The rules for Sony and Xbox are different. Xbox fans knew that before the Epic lawsuit and before the Brazil documents. Team Xbox can't just rely on good faith and keel turning the other cheek.

You gotta hand it to Microsoft, they are surviving the console market through a dedicated hardcore fanbase who buys stuff, exceptional number crunching and the power of the war chest. Sony has such a monopolistic hold on the console space that it's easy to see how Sega gave up.

If you can justify SFV being a PS4 console exclusive, even if they are originally present as multiplatform games, because Sony funded them... Then you can accept Bethesda games as Xbox exclusive because now MS is completely funding the development of those unfinished games.

There are a lot more JP gamers buying the Xbox Series X | S and subscribing to Game Pass as well. This opens a new market for western indie devs who offer their games on Game Pass. And JP devs who continue to ignore the plaform, run the risk of more competition.

Now that the Xbox Series X has shown its BC capability, so many people are assuming that the PS5 will run their PS4 games right off the bat. Here, in my country, that's the assumption. I think they should temper their expectations. Sony's silence isn't encouraging.
