Microsoft has struggled to sell Xbox Series consoles this generation. They don’t have enough boxes in the wild to make platform exclusives a viable concern anymore. And so they’re doing the unthinkable by putting Xbxox games on Sony and Nintendo hardware. Which, as a platform holder, is basically waving a white flag.
Is Microsoft abandoning console exclusives and now jacking up the price of Xbox Series X and Series S, the beginning of the end of the Xbox in the living room? Can we realistically see a future where Microsoft ever have a bespoke platform you want to own ever again? Eurogamer’s Jim Trinca dives into all this and more and asks the question: Is this the end of game consoles as we know them?
