Mat Piscatella, a well-known analyst for the Circana company, also wanted to have his say on the news leak regarding the probable new multiplatform strategy Of Xboxwhich could soon bring first party titles like Starfield or Hi-Fi Rush to PS5 and Nintendo Switch (we imagine especially on Nintendo Switch 2). For Piscatella, Microsoft's move has great potential. It doesn't necessarily work, but it would mark a significant opening of the market.
Piscatella: “Offering an ecosystem that allows you to play most games on multiple devices is a strategy that has a lot of potential. There's no guarantee that it will work, but we're no longer in the mid-2000s. It's no longer a question of cans.”
Multi-platform
Piscatella then pointed out how both PlayStation and Xbox have already implemented multiplatform strategies. For example, Sony will release MLB The Show 24 on Game Pass at launch. In short, it was enough to know how to observe market movements a little to realize that the exclusives policy no longer works very well, especially given the explosion in development costs of individual games.
Therefore, Microsoft's decision would only be the culmination of something that has already been in the works for years and which only needs to overcome the obstacle of fans who feel betrayed if those who own a console that they say they hate can play the same one. title that they play.
Piscatella clearly expresses the possibility that this hard core of users will ruin everything, but he also has it clear in his head that addressing an increasingly wider audience is inevitable for the sector.
