So some news is spreading around that Microsoft may let their exclusives be released on other consoles like PlayStation or Switch. Would you like to see this happen?
 
I'd be surprised, unless they don't really plan on releasing consoles anymore or just competing in different ways. It'd be nice to play their exclusives on my PS4 though.

If I was running MS, I would have released the Halo collection on PS4 as well, it would have been a good lure to get people over to Xbox for future games.
 
I think porting the older Halo games to PS4 can be a good idea to see if there is a good demand for Halo games before spending a lot of time and money on making newer Halo games work for PS4.
 
It's doubtful that they would release their original games on other consoles. What I think is possible is that, if they buy IPs like PUBG they might release it on other consoles, as per the agreement with the seller/developer. Like what happened with Minecraft.

I think releasing Halo on other consoles can be used to promote Microsoft programs like Cortana which is originally a character from Halo. Microsoft can also add new content in Halo to promote Skype, Microsoft Office, and Edge web browser on re-release Halo games on other consoles,

I think Microsoft may release a Halo game on Google Android, and iOS because mobile shooter games like Fortnite, and PUBG are very popular on smartphones/tablets. One of the reasons that Fortnite is popular is because it is a cross platform game where mobile gamers can play with console and PC gamers. I think if a Halo game is release for other consoles, it would be a cross platform game where all gamers who use a mobile, console, and PC to play games can play the same game together.
 
I know literally nobody who owns an Xbox One, so I guess it makes sense to quit exclusives.
Also, the topic title feels very clickbaity, don't you think? (´・ω・`)
 
Absolutely! I currently play on the PS4 and for a very long time I have been contemplating on getting an Xbox One (S or X, but X preferably). It just seems impractical if you already have enough to play on a single console. I can't even afford every game that I like for it, so getting another console which opens me up to a broader selection could just lead to option paralysis.

The idea sounds absurd at first, but it's very possible. Sega's a good example --- they gave in, threw away their pride, and they were able to stay afloat. I think it's fair to say they've had many successes since then, specially now that they're about to release Shenmue I and II in a single HD package.

And to think Sega and Microsoft had a partnership with the Dreamcast before. Maybe they're still in touch with each other and Microsoft is learning a bit from Sega? :grin:
 
I think there maybe a possible for Microsoft to release older Halo games from the original Xbox as a web browser game which work on most of the web browsers for PS4, Switch, Apple Mac, Linux OSes, Android, and Chrome OS.

I played a few web browser games which had good 3D graphics, fun gameplay and responsive controls, so I think it would be possible for MS to make Halo 1 for modern web browsers.

They are not in the same situation though
