Because the console hardware could not be sold, Xbox had to give up exclusivity and fully switch to multi-platform, which resulted in almost all first-party games being launched on PS5. In the short term, this strategy has achieved good results.
According to data released by Alinea Analytics, 13 Xbox first-party games have sold more than 100,000 units on the PS5 platform. This shows that Xbox's multi-platform strategy has been successful, and may also imply that it will be very difficult for Xbox to turn around and return to exclusives.
Alinea Analytics announced the performance of Xbox games on PS5. Currently, 13 games have sold more than 100,000 units, 3 games have sold more than 1 million units, and the total revenue has exceeded US$700 million.
