When Microsoft announcedbringing Xbox-exclusive games to PlayStation and Nintendo, it left everyone by surprise. But the move turned out great for Microsoft!
The Redmond-based tech giant reported anincrease in revenue from gaming, with theActivision Blizzard acquisitionbeing a key factor. Recently, we also found thatmore Xbox games featured in the top 25 list on thePlayStation Store.
Microsoft’s CEOSatya Nadellahad earlier said,
Now, at a time whenXbox console sales are at a record low, it only makes sense for Microsoft to bank on the revenue fromXbox content and services, which reported a62%increase inQ3 2024.
Microsoft to bring more Xbox-exclusive titles to PlayStation and Nintendo
Afterreleasing several games on PlayStation and Nintendo, Microsoft is now planning to bring a few more titles to the two. While there has been no official confirmation from the Xbox division, areport fromComicBooksuggests thatSenua’s Saga: Hellblade IIandIndiana Jones and the Great Circleare on the cards!
But it’sHalothat everyone is talking about. An Xbox exclusive for over a decade (amongst consoles, a PC version is available),Halocould be the turning point, providing Microsoft with a much-needed boost in the gaming division.
BothHalo InfiniteandHalo: The Master Chief Collection, if brought to PlayStation and Nintendo, would break all records and be amongst the top pre-ordered games, as was the case withSea of Thieves.
Reports earlier suggested that thesuccess ofSea of Thievescould pave the way for more Xbox exclusives on PlayStation. Now thatSea of Thieveshit 40 million users, other titles could be just months away, including the much-hyped Halo series!
Low console sales remain a concern for Xbox
Although Xbox is generating more revenue than ever from its games, console sales are at an all-time low in recent years.Retailers are cutting back stockas gamers prioritize PlayStation and PC over the Microsoft console. And with exclusivity out of the picture, more gamers could jump ship!
In recent years,Xbox sales have shown no signs of recovery, and many fear that game developers could soon abandon the platform due to reduced profits. A few more years of similar sales figures, and it would be nearly impossible for Xbox to recover.
