At this point, Microsoft has become a pretty big publisher, moreso than a console manufacturer.
Of course they would like exclusives to go away, that means selling their own games to more people, and distributing Sony's games on their platforms.
Both combined would easily make them more money than selling consoles.
Would it? I think all of the exclusives are a good reason to buy an Xbox. Don't underestimate how much these companies value ecosystems.
Personally I wonder how many people think like me and would never buy a platform using scummy tactics like exclusives.
Just see how many of us buy consoles. They all have exclusives. And that’s not scummy. That’s how shit has always been and that’s ok. If a dev can focus on one set of hardware/os they can optimize for that. Just look how amazing the latest gen Sony exclusives are.
