Video game exclusives are the heart of gaming and Xbox should know that – Reader’s Feature

A reader refutes Xbox’s suggestion that exclusives have caused stagnation in the console market and argues they should make more not less.

I’d say what a week it’s been but it’s only Wednesday as I type this, so there’s still two days left for Xbox boss Phil Spencer to say something else ridiculous, as an excuse for why nothing he does ever works. I don’t know that everything at Xbox is his fault but he’s the frontman and certain things, like Game Pass and buying Activision Blizzard, were definitely his idea, so there’s only so much leeway I’m willing to give an incompetent multi-millionaire that’s destroying my hobby.

I am, of course, referring to the various post-mortems from last week’s GDC (Game Developers Conference) which is an event that wasn’t on my radar but is apparently a big meeting place for developers to give speeches and make business deals. And apparently the two big topics were how the PS5 Pro is a pointless waste of time and Xbox is a flaming dumpster fire.
