Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!
Versus Mode returns with a timely entry, comparing the idea of platform exclusivity vs. the idea of sharing all your IP across as many platforms as you can. Clearly we have seen this in action with Xbox this generation as they make bank on some of their previously exclusive titles like Forza Horizon 5 on new platforms like the PlayStation 5. It appears to be working well for MicroSoft in terms of getting money, but it is coming a the cost of moving Xbox consoles. Meanwhile PlayStation has experimented with moving around some of their beloved IP, but with different results causing them to take a step back from it recently. Nintendo just stays in the same walled garden they always have. In this new world order, the idea of remaining exclusive might seem obvious, but I think it now raises some legitimate concerns and questions for most companies. Tune in to hear me weigh out the pros and cons of platform exclusivity, and determine which I feel is the best approach when all is said and done.
