The boundaries between various console brands are narrowing, and it can lead the gaming community in a new direction. The famous Sony PlayStation exclusive Spider-Man: Remastered recently got ported to PC, and the game became a colossal hit on the new platform.

The video game companies that make consoles, like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, also create games that are exclusive to their console. Why do they do this exclusiveness with games? The answer to this question is quite simple; to help promote their consoles’ sales.

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.

Sony ported the Spider-Man game to PC four years after its release on PlayStation, which didn’t affect their console’s sales. They have already earned the majority of the profit in the four years. So porting the famous game to another platform helped them make more money rather than bear a loss.

Recently, other companies like Microsoft also shared their games like Minecraft, which was an Xbox and PC exclusive, with Nintendo Switch.
