A reader argues about the importance of exclusives and how many wouldn’t exist if they weren't needed as a selling point for their console.

Stellar Blade – not a first party game but it is an exclusive A reader argues about the importance of exclusives and how many wouldn’t exist if they weren’t needed as a selling point for their console. Over the last few months, we’ve heard a lot of talk about Xbox and, perhaps, PlayStation going multiformat, with some in favour and some against it. Although, like most things in gaming, it’s hard to tell what are genuinely held beliefs and what is just thinly veiled console warring.

Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Stellar Drive are all apparently really good and none would’ve had the funding they did if they weren’t exclusives. Even Rebirth, which obviously Square Enix would’ve made either way, benefits from the cash they earned from the Sony deal, and you can tell from how stacked full of content the game is that they were not worrying about budget.
