There should be fewer and fewer console exclusives

There will likely be fewer Xbox exclusive games in the future. Phil SpencerThe head of Microsoft’s gaming division, said in an interview with Bloomberg that it’s better for the long-term health of the video game industry when games are available on multiple systems.

Spencer predicted that console-exclusive games would become less and less common. “In your family it could be that you buy an Xbox and I buy a PlayStation and our kids want to play together but can’t because we bought the wrong piece of plastic to fit the TV.” he said.

“In the short term, some people in some companies don’t like it. But I think once we get over that hump and see where the industry can go, it will be the right decision.” declared

Spencer’s words also mean that Xbox will try more acquisitions. The company is currently looking for developers who create video games outside of their “traditional markets”. Target game library diversification Xbox, both in terms of games and the studios that make them. Probably, Microsoft has set its sights on Japanese developers.
