Games like Uncharted and God of War are Sony’s exclusive properties. So, gamers had to buy PlayStation to enjoy these games. The same goes for Halo and Forza series, which help with Xbox sales, and Pokemon and Mario games do it for Nintendo. So, this question will arise of what will happen if the ‘Wall of Exclusiveness’ falls.
Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox have started sharing more games
If consoles start sharing games, it might sound like a loss to companies, but that is not the case. Along with it being a significant win for gamers, it would also be a considerable success, instead of being a loss for companies. In recent years, many consoles have ported some of their successful video games over to other platforms, with the results bearing great fruits.
