PS5 vs. Xbox Series X - Do Timed Exclusives Matter?
Do timed exclusives matter? It’s an interesting question as we see more and more games with this style of launch. Coming out on one platform for a while, or everything BUT one platform, only to eventually release on everything later on after the dust has settled.
One could debate on whether or not this is a smart thing to do endlessly, as there are compelling reasons to release as a timed exclusive just as there are good reasons not to. Depending on the climate of certain audiences and the nature of deals made behind the scenes, either strategy could work out well or be completely disastrous and lead to worse problems for the developer than they would've had if they’d gone in a different direction.
Today, we’ll take a closer look at this emerging dynamic in game releases as it seems to grow in popularity, but through the lens of the imminent next round of consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Will they have the impact they’re intended to have? Will they matter at all?
