It's not about "brand", it's not about "Sony" it's about Playstation, it's about the library, the unique identity

[Snakeskin94 13]

Same as Microsoft

I don't think it's constructive yo write off Exclusives as "fanbkys clinging to plastic" cause tbh, I don't think thats what it is, almost at all.

It can be* that sure. People can *make it about that.

Like I am not going to say stuff like FF7 Remake being exclusive doesn't suck, I fully understand the ones like that

But Mario, Last of Us, Halo etc are what people mean when they say exclusives work

[Snakeskin94 13]

Exclusives are what helped Nintendo even make it this far

Same with Sony; PS1 and 2 wouldn't have been nearly as big now without their insane library of games

[Liftea 12]

idk I see relying on exlusivity as a failure of product diversification of the console

[Snakeskin94 13]

Wouldn't that be a success of diversification?

[Liftea 12]

Nintendo could release all their games multiplatform and they would still be fine because it's a handheld

[Otti#8624 26]

How would you diversify a console if it's not the games

[Snakeskin94 13]

But Tea

[Otti#8624 26]

Consoles run on games, that's their primary goal

[Snakeskin94 13]

Then what's the firetruckin point of the other consoles???

[Liftea 12]

no because you buy it due to the exclusivity of games and not the console itself

[Snakeskin94 13]

It's both

[Otti#8624 26]

So exclusivity works

[Snakeskin94 13]

You buy cause of the console AND the games

[Otti#8624 26]

That's exactly the point of them

[Snakeskin94 13]

Same with Nintendo

It's literally both

[Otti#8624 26]

You make them so people buy the console and get into the eco system so Nintendo makes more games

[Liftea 12]

I just don't understand why Nintendo can't make 7 years later BotW multiplatform for example. It's super stupid

[Otti#8624 26]

If all exclusives go multiplat then there is no eco system. There is no reason for any of these console manufacturers to try with games.

[Otti#8624 26]

I mean I don't disagree on that. I agree that after a point in them they should be made more available.

[Snakeskin94 13]

How would there being no Exclusives benefit this industry? Do you really think they'll all just pivot to tech?

[Otti#8624 26]

Maybe no necesserily PC but at least for preservation bring them to new consoles

[Liftea 12]

it depends. As I said I would prefer the model of timed exclusivity because you get the "best" from both worlds

[Otti#8624 26]

We will see if that works for Xbox soon
