    Are you linking “everything is an Xbox” with growing their platform? Are you new at internet arguments?

      No, they arrived at the conclusion, for good reason, that the addressable console market isn’t growing using the old methods. So rather than hold on to exclusives with the myth that exclusives are going to drive adoption for Xbox, they’ll just port their games everywhere and make Game Pass available when possible, and Sony likely came to a similar conclusion. Even though they’re doing way better than Xbox, they also seemingly came to the conclusion that the ceiling is much higher without console exclusivity.
