People always want to throw out these crazy numbers of PC gaming as if all 2B players play AAA when less than a fraction of a percent plays AAA games. Consoles are really more for the largest group of people that prefer mostly AAA games.
PC gaming isn’t niche it’s a huge market and bigger than any console market on its own. That does include more casual players too but the biggest selling games on PC are the big AAA titles just like consoles and if you look at Steams hardware survey most players have hardware capable of running modern games.
it doesn't make financial sense to spend 200 million or more on a game and not try to get it to as many gamers as possible no matter where they are it isn't sustainable in the long run
It drives people to their ecosystem. That's the point. People buy the console cause some exclusives they want and then they buy third party games, subscriptions, controllers etc.
@@memorycard1000dawg when you're spending that much money, selling that many copies and still complaining about the sales barely being enough, something's going wrong. either scale back the budget or go multi plat. Also most players play GTA, fifa, cod and other multiplats anyway.
Agreed! Exclusives is the PS strategy which has worked up to this point. With stronger PS5 sales compared to Xbox … I’m not sure why they bother with 1st or 3rd party exclusives. IMO … after a few years, release it everywhere.
@smartgamer47 We don't care about shareholders, we care that the quality of the first parties' libraries benefit from competitive development. Remember?
So they’re not gonna ask how these companies can differentiate themselves from one another? Cause if everything were the same on every platform than why would there be different platforms in first place?
If everything was just a two year timed exclusive then you'd still have incentive to buy one console over another or buy all three consoles, but if you can't afford it you can also wait two years to buy the game on your preferred platform. It's a win-win for both consumers and platform holders, as they need to sell more software
@@toot1st105Its vastly different because Nintendo makes most of the software on their device. They make over 50% of the games on their platforms. Why should the competition benefit?
@@OneRandomVictory and that's because Nintendo "exclusives" are basically indie/AA games priced as first party games! Lmao...I mean fair play to them that their fans are willing to spend money on that eco system, but their profit margins vastly outweigh the other two publisher's in comparison 🤷🏿♂️
For sure. Halo, gears, forza and Fable the most xboxy xbox games. They're core franchises and would absolutely do more long-term damage to the xboz brand if they were to be on other consoles. Anyone thinking other wise are seriously out of touch or choosing to ignore the reality of the situation
@@xdjrunner well currently except spiderman 2 and few remastered versions of first party games, there isn't many great games Sony has released this year for ps5. Getting an xbox this year would be great since you can play several upcoming first party titles like Avowed, Hellblade, Indiana Jones and the compatible Activision games coming on Gamepass like Diablo, newer and older Call of Duty games.
Is everyone playing dumb? No one knows why we still have game exclusives? really? Exclusives SELL consoles. Consoles have razor thin profits if at all, they need to sell great games that you can only play in one place. There's a reason why Playstation continues to outsell Xbox 3 to 1. But gone are the days were an exclusive stays and dies on one platform. That's now obvious.
It has nothing to do with exclusives and more to do with brand recognition. Sonys sells lots of consoles but make more money off of 3rd party games than first. Simple reason, people don’t care about their exclusives.
Well, if your exclusives get you to 3:1 or 4:1 sales on the competition you’re not only growing your platform for your first party games, you’re building it for more stable and longer indie 3rd party AAA and AA games.
75% of Americans are basically broke which means 25% have most of the money ! Corporations care about MONEY and NOT YOU! We're not even in their plans...we're serfs now.
There can be more than 1 console exclusive... We literally had several dozens of them in the ps3 era. PS5 by contrast has 3 true exclusives and is halfway through its lifecycle.
Marvel Spider Man 2 cost 270 million dollar to make, still it hasn't been profitable for Sony, it's better to release it in every console, or move back to Indy games.
They spent so much and still didn’t fix the bugs and added filler side quests. Maybe they need to scale back on their expenses if spending such an amount still only gives them a “satisfactory” product.
It’s profitable already. They broke even at 7.2m copies as per the leak and it sold more than 10m already. Also people seem to forget how these platform holders make money. Think steam, they have no exclusives yet they make money because they collect 30 percent from every third party sale including mtx/dlc. Ps collects way more from that than they do first party sales and that’s without any dev risk. GTA5 is coming out next year for consoles only. By having a few exclusives you essentially have the dominant platform for that game’s sale. Ps will collect double the sales of gta5 vs Xbox based on install base. Let’s say it sells to half the base on each console. That’s 30m vs 15m in copies sold on ps vs Xbox. For ps that’s 30% x $70 x 30 = 630m in profit off one title. And that’s all profit, no risk of development or anything. Why would you give that up to sell a few more million copies of 1-2 first party games (that’s all ps can release based on studios it has). Ragnarok sold 15m on ps alone in a year. The best selling game every where was hogwarts at 22m. So essentially to get 7m more sales (343m) you risk your entire platform, where the fifa’s, cods, Fortnite’s, Roblox just give you free money.
Console exclusives is the only way the console maker will survive. There is no reason to buy a console over a gaming laptop if there are no expulsive games. You will need a PC, or laptop, regardless if you play games or not but you don't need a console.
It’s uncertain on XBOX. Not on PlayStation and Nintendo. Stop doing as if Microsoft going third party, is the strategy all 3 are doing lol. Even the CEO of Sony said that they are not going to Xbox and Nintendo.
Exclusive games get consumers to choose one platform over another and that platform takes a 30% cut of third party games sold on their store. So comparing individual exclusive games sales numbers can't be the only thing to consider whether something is profitable or not
Nintendo's secret to success is they sell their hardware for profit, or at least, not a loss like Sony, or Xbox. This is why most of their hardware is under powered: It's cheaper to produce. So, any sales of their consoles, or handhelds (their primary market share where they dominate) is additional profit on top of game sales where the traditional money is made.
Give me a break, Nintendo consoles are not underpowered they’re powerful to run Nintendo‘s own games first and foremost Nintendo is illegal their own and do their own thing. Stop comparing the performance of the switch in terms of power to the lights of the PS5 and Xbox series X the switch is pretty much portable system a portable Xbox 360.
Why should Nintendo damage their console sales just because a bunch of entitled gamers want to play their games on their preferred platform of choice? it would make no sense for Nintendo to do that. It’s not exactly working out for Sony in hoarding their games to PC.

Daemon! The show was the perfect opportunity for you to mention Godzilla Minus One! In Hollywood the same movie would’ve cost ten times what it cost in Japan.

Gamepass has a 70-80% attachment rate for series consoles. In short xbots are funding Xbox games; therefore Ms going 3rd party is free money due to day1 gamepass. It unironically creates a barrier to entry for competition as a day 1 game will have millions gaining access vs hoping for software sales to keep a multiplayer game alive/growing.

Exclusives are what sells consoles. Here we go again discussing things that would ruin what we love. Just shut up! Playstation and Nintendo are successful for a reason.
Exclusives make people invest in their console and then they buy games, subscriptions, controllers etc, for years to come. How many consoles got sold cause of Spiderman and other exclusives? Was Spiderman 2 really a bad game to have only on Playstation or is it a huge indirect revenue plus?
Exclusives never made sense to me especially from a business standpoint. Releasing games on multiple platforms gives gamers more choices and increases sales and in return they make more money for future IP's. Not to mention you got grown men in their 40 & 50's acting like children getting mad because a game is now available on other platforms. So your mad now because more people can play the game🤷♂? They saying things like, "Its PlayStation over here, all day, everyday" like they gang banging reppin their set for their favorite console its kind of sad actually. They act like if game gets released on another platform it somehow gets erased from theirs and they cant play it. You can still play your game bro just chill 😂😂
What’s the point of having multiple platforms if there’s no insensitive to have exclusives? Like this sounds so braindead. So y’all want different consoles to play the same games? Makes sense…. it’s not even about being superior and if that’s the case PC users always feel superior because of a graphics card and processor. So many bias comments in this video is hilarious.
There would still be incentive of buying one console over another if everything was just a two year timed exclusive. As a business who's looking to sell software first and foremost, what's the point of never releasing a game on another platform and missing out on further sales?
Why should they be 😂?! They are undefeated in every generation they've competed in! Haven't lost not one! PS6, roll out the third party exclusives...70% marketshare! Spoiler alert for ya 😂!
@TheBean87 Huh...by my recollection? We're talking about NEXT GEN consoles, not the totally separate HANDHELD market. Sony has only been "beaten" by Xbox 360, and even that is debatable. Nintendo is in a whole different market, and in no DIRECT competition with Sony. It's like comparing your laptop blu ray disc drive to an actual blu ray player that sits on the entertainment center 😂...theyre not in direct competition! That blu ray player is competing with Samsung, Phillips, Panasonic, etc, not your laptop.
Stella in there with her own crusade. To paraphrase: my opinion right, your opinion wrong. To hell with recognizing that if Xbox has no exclusives, everyone will just buy a ps6…lol
The best selling game of 2023 was Hogwarts legacy. It sold 22 million copies. If a blockbuster movie sold 22 million tickets it would be considered a massive flop. Gaming is still a niche hobby compared to movies, music and TV. The customer base is too small without adding extra restrictions of exclusives.
Tone deaf conversation. Again it’s not about “console superiority”. It’s the idea that you devalue the purchasing power of the consumer. You assume everyone owns all three consoles, but if only bought an Xbox, and now your hearing those games are going to PlayStation…well then they should have spent that hard earned money on a PlayStation because they would have both library of games
Every game should just come on PC. Nintendo might take another decade or two given their famous stubbornness, but eventually all games should be made available on PC platforms. PC is just the objectively best platform. You can upgrade it to be as strong as you want, or go for something cheaper. You can play games anywhere with Steam Deck or other handheld PCs. You can mod the games however you want. PlayStation Studios and Square Enix can make great games, I'd just much, much rather play them on PC rather than be forced to buy a console for a small handful of games.
IGN are at it again maybe the future is uncertain with lack of PlayStation and Xbox but but we Nintendo fans know that Nintendo exclusives will remain on Nintendo consoles.
Xbox trying to set the bar for exclusoves makes no sense, they have by far a weaker library of exclusives compared to Nintendo and Playstation so why the hell would they follow Xbox and make more of their exclusives multiplat? Just sounds like Xbox wants to be able to change the path of the industry when they are not even an industry leader.
Halo will never be on any other console not even gears. Those games are the mascot of Xbox just like Mario & Zelda is 4 Nintendo. Unless they quit making consoles & only games like Sega.
There will be exclusives always PlayStation won’t give all their stuff away they have a lot so they can spare a couple. If Nintendo isn’t going to do it PlayStation won’t. Xbox can but watch those games not go higher in profit and then people will wait until it’s free.
If Xbox doesnt believe in exclusives anymore they should get out of the console market cause what is the point of Xbox if you can play their games anywhere else. For example playing mario on an Xbox or PS would terrible, it makes no sense
@@mikeuk666 There is no faffing about anymore. PCs are very user friendly now. If anything, consoles have become more like PCs. Might as well just get a PC. They can do way more.

Curious to know where the “2 billion PC Gamers” came from? Also how many of those PC’s have specs to run a modern release?
Remember everyone let’s think “Long and Hard”
now we gotta break NINTENDO into a 3rd party publisher
Never going to happen, they’re the most successful first party publisher.
@@NostraSamus one can dream.....not needing consoles is a + for the industry
Exclusives make people invest in their console and then they buy games, subscriptions, controllers etc, for years to come. How many consoles got sold cause of Spiderman and other exclusives? Was Spiderman 2 really a bad game to have only on Playstation or is it a huge indirect revenue plus?
Sony makes hardware, Microsoft makes software, Nintendo makes toys. Once they’re all merged gaming will be peak
No. It will eventually just be a monopoly.
Exclusives never made sense to me especially from a business standpoint. Releasing games on multiple platforms gives gamers more choices and increases sales and in return they make more money for future IP's. Not to mention you got grown men in their 40 & 50's acting like children getting mad because a game is now available on other platforms. So your mad now because more people can play the game🤷♂? They saying things like, "Its PlayStation over here, all day, everyday" like they gang banging reppin their set for their favorite console its kind of sad actually. They act like if game gets released on another platform it somehow gets erased from theirs and they cant play it. You can still play your game bro just chill 😂😂
Why would Nintendo want people to buy other hardware besides their own? That’s why exclusives exist and I’m all for it.
If it can play on the steam deck
What’s the point of having multiple platforms if there’s no insensitive to have exclusives? Like this sounds so braindead. So y’all want different consoles to play the same games? Makes sense…. it’s not even about being superior and if that’s the case PC users always feel superior because of a graphics card and processor. So many bias comments in this video is hilarious.
There would still be incentive of buying one console over another if everything was just a two year timed exclusive. As a business who's looking to sell software first and foremost, what's the point of never releasing a game on another platform and missing out on further sales?
Love to see you guys all in a single video.
What the female host doesn't get is the point of console is games, so if everything is multiplatform no point really it just another PC
Consoles will be replaced by the internet and phones. If Apple or Samsung can run games natively none of this will matter.
Microsoft is okay with sharing, but Sony really isn't 🤣
Why should they be 😂?! They are undefeated in every generation they've competed in! Haven't lost not one! PS6, roll out the third party exclusives...70% marketshare! Spoiler alert for ya 😂!
@@PathOfRageumm they’ve lost almost every Gen to Nintendo.
@TheBean87 Huh...by my recollection? We're talking about NEXT GEN consoles, not the totally separate HANDHELD market.
Sony has only been "beaten" by Xbox 360, and even that is debatable.
Nintendo is in a whole different market, and in no DIRECT competition with Sony. It's like comparing your laptop blu ray disc drive to an actual blu ray player that sits on the entertainment center 😂...theyre not in direct competition!
That blu ray player is competing with Samsung, Phillips, Panasonic, etc, not your laptop.
Can't wait to see what happens to playstation sales when the switch 2 is compared as a direct competitor to Sony haha.
@@PathOfRagethe wii and ds outsold the ps3 and psp soo. Sony lost the 7th generation for sure
Imagine not being able to play Helldivers 2……..oh hell nah
Stella in there with her own crusade. To paraphrase: my opinion right, your opinion wrong.
To hell with recognizing that if Xbox has no exclusives, everyone will just buy a ps6…lol
consle exclusives should be timed. make them multiplatform a year later.
The best selling game of 2023 was Hogwarts legacy. It sold 22 million copies. If a blockbuster movie sold 22 million tickets it would be considered a massive flop. Gaming is still a niche hobby compared to movies, music and TV. The customer base is too small without adding extra restrictions of exclusives.
Who has the best Stream Game pass will be the new war and exclusive is going to die
Yeaa Miss Stellar Stellaa is back
Show is not the same without Ryan 😏
Tone deaf conversation. Again it’s not about “console superiority”. It’s the idea that you devalue the purchasing power of the consumer. You assume everyone owns all three consoles, but if only bought an Xbox, and now your hearing those games are going to PlayStation…well then they should have spent that hard earned money on a PlayStation because they would have both library of games
Face it. Business in general is a giant bubble of exclusivity. If you don’t like it, move to a communist country.
It must end. Theres no future in those movements.
Can we go back to talking about actual games please
Every game should just come on PC. Nintendo might take another decade or two given their famous stubbornness, but eventually all games should be made available on PC platforms. PC is just the objectively best platform. You can upgrade it to be as strong as you want, or go for something cheaper. You can play games anywhere with Steam Deck or other handheld PCs. You can mod the games however you want. PlayStation Studios and Square Enix can make great games, I'd just much, much rather play them on PC rather than be forced to buy a console for a small handful of games.
This is such a braindead narrative.
Exclusivity can just die. The only understandable implementation of it is with the case of Alan Wake 2.
Now ask yourself what the reason(s) would then be to even own a console.
The future of RE5 is certain. Remake!
No
Cloud gaming is never going to be optimal… terrible direction to go in
Stella does not know what she’s talking about.
IGN are at it again maybe the future is uncertain with lack of PlayStation and Xbox but but we Nintendo fans know that Nintendo exclusives will remain on Nintendo consoles.
Exclusive or not, RE5 can 100% pe remake as it is
No one else can represent Xbox at IGN?? lol
Get rid of exclusives. Games are meant to be fun. Don't exclude people from playing your game. 🙂
Hell, no. Exclusives are what drive competition.
@@NostraSamusexactly. That's why this 9th Generation is one if the worst as there's barely any excitement here.
PlayStation’s target market is PlayStation players. From now on Xbox’s target market is PlayStation players.
Actually PlayStations target market is pc players. Xbox target market is everyone.
The only ones that hate exclusives is xbox
Xbox trying to set the bar for exclusoves makes no sense, they have by far a weaker library of exclusives compared to Nintendo and Playstation so why the hell would they follow Xbox and make more of their exclusives multiplat? Just sounds like Xbox wants to be able to change the path of the industry when they are not even an industry leader.
Ff7 rebirth is strong. Goty contender
For Xbox yeah, Ask Nintendo about this… 🤦♂️
What about holding yourself accountable for your articles?
Isn't Ign the same ones that said games should be enjoyed by everyone?
Halo will never be on any other console not even gears. Those games are the mascot of Xbox just like Mario & Zelda is 4 Nintendo. Unless they quit making consoles & only games like Sega.
Sony is dead they will be releasing exclusives every 5 years from now on
There will be exclusives always PlayStation won’t give all their stuff away they have a lot so they can spare a couple. If Nintendo isn’t going to do it PlayStation won’t. Xbox can but watch those games not go higher in profit and then people will wait until it’s free.
@@mikeuk666 Sony will be ok. It’s about the gaming community. Xbox could learn a lesson
If Xbox doesnt believe in exclusives anymore they should get out of the console market cause what is the point of Xbox if you can play their games anywhere else. For example playing mario on an Xbox or PS would terrible, it makes no sense
The Nintendo is kiddy schtick is so N64 you guys. Terrible Switch analysis toward the end of the video.
Just get a PC. Whats the point of a console?
@@mikeuk666 There is no faffing about anymore. PCs are very user friendly now. If anything, consoles have become more like PCs. Might as well just get a PC. They can do way more.
All the "Playstation exclusives" are best on Microsoft's Windows 😅 😂 💯
