Both Xbox and PlayStation are returning to exclusives. Xbox just announced a single-player game at the past Xbox Showcase conference. Whether it will be exclusive will depend on the game. And PlayStation has just finished porting first-party stand-alone games to PC. According to reports from Bloomberg reporters, Sony’s PlayStation exclusive strategy is more thorough and does not differentiate between games at all. In the future, any stand-alone games will be exclusive to PS.
Jason Schreier said: “PlayStation single-player games ‘do not have a specific analysis of specific games’ – they will all be exclusive from now on.
There is no ambiguity in their strategy. During an all-hands meeting a few weeks ago, Hermen Hulst told employees that their single-player narrative game would be PlayStation-only.
He explained that the PC releases of these games didn't fit with their strategy, didn't make enough money, and that they wanted to keep their IP consistent with their own platform. I checked with two people who heard him say this. There is no ‘case-by-case’ argument here. "
