“Going forward, all of our internal studios, and the new studios we’ve added, will be focused on making games for our platforms and we have no plans to expand our exclusive first-party games to any other consoles,” Greenberg told MCVUK.
“Those teams, going forward, will be focused on making games for our platforms. So while we know there’s existing commitments in place, take The Outer Worlds as an example, there was already a commitment to make that game available as a multiplatform title and we’ll continue to honour that.”

Well, we have to go with what is gospel.We want competition but not the competition to see who is going to buy everyone first. This will only lead to Sony making more exclusive deals or acquisitions
Well that is a year old. Greenberg might not have been thinking they would own Bethesda at that point.
But yeah maybe after the games they are working on now are out
If they lose access to DOOM and Elderscrolls, it could well drive them to make some purchases. Think they will buy up Capcom or Square?We want competition but not the competition to see who is going to buy everyone first. This will only lead to Sony making more exclusive deals or acquisitions
