Comment on Xbox Plans Significant Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO
Feyd@programming.dev 4 days agoThe problem with the model of exclusives driving console purchases is that it only worked when people could afford multiple consoles. The combination of consoles and games being more expensive and them trying to double dip by requiring subscriptions for online play means most people are going to pick a platform instead of getting several like they used to.

The problem is the opposite. Your console has no purpose without exclusives if others have them.
You have money for 1 console. Console A has a set library. Console B has the same library plus 5 good games unavailable on A. Assuming price, quality and features are on par which they generally are: why would you choose console A?
