There was once a time where a console’s exclusive game line-up would determine its success in the long-run, meaning the console war betweenXboxandPlayStationwould almost always see the latter company come out on top.
It’s still storming ahead with banger exclusives too, likeSilent Hill 2(2024)
While Xbox is looking to make more of its first-party titles available on other platforms, andNintendois still content with doing its own thing away from competition, PlayStation is seemingly still hellbent on ensuring its fans have exclusives to play.
