This thread is so full of conjecture and nonsense it's just hard to read. All these armchair analyst Sony fanboys that think because Sony has sold a lot of consoles this gen they know more about running a company than the CEO of a gaming division. It's kinda laughable.
For their current market position, they obviously have done some sort of analysis and came to the conclusion it's not in their interests to support IPs that aren't profitable. I personally think it has more to do with their overall strategy going forward of becoming a Windows based service. If they can pull PC titles onto Xbox they'll have plenty of IPs that they dont personally have to develop. It's part of a bigger picture where exclusives are actually bad for gaming. Spit balling conclusions based on Lost Odessey sales is just that. I'm pretty sure they know more about the demand for their products than the people here do and the numbers probably don't add up for the direction they are going. So yeah 1 million might not be enough.
The funny thing is Sony fanboys here are hook line and sinker down for the exclusives model, so think because other companies want to go in a different direction. that it is inherently bad which is BS. First of all, you're all using a hindsight is 20/20 model since when the PS4 launched it launched with almost no new major IPs on purpose because of Sony's financial position at the time. Even their President was making statements to the media asking why don't their fans like indies. In the two years that followed they released no major new exclusives, but the PS sold well. So the exclusive model isn't the end all be all of things like cows believe.
In addition to that, most of the new IPs they did release turned out to be duds. While that might be cool for Sony since they have such a big lead, it's probably not cool to people like Spencer's bosses when they aren't in first.
Finally, cows need to stop exaggerating on the number of games. MS has put out new games this gen, in a comparable number to Sony. Cows love to make long lists of games that aren't out yet, but at the end of the day you're mostly still waiting on most of those titles.
You criticize MS for milking their main franchises, but think it's cool that a good chunk of Sony's stuff this gen are remasters not even new installments. You criticize MS games for being bad but give a complete pass to all the duds Sony has dropped this gen.
These daily anti MS hyperbole topics are a joke. Maybe if Sony's execs pulled the sticks outta their asses and actually talked to their fans cows around here might have something to talk about besides Xbox. Instead of criticizing and over analyzing every word of anything anyone from Xbox says, maybe you could then spend some time asking Sony about their BS moves like PSVR and the Pro?
