It most definitely would.

Rather than dig up the entire 20+ year history like GhostofTsu did for all of Xbox and come up with that little list, I'll just rattle off some things in the last 2 years. And this is nowhere near a complete list, this is just stuff off the top of my head.

Deathloop timed exclusivity
Ghostwire Tokyo timed exclusivity
Godfall timed exclusivity
Guilty Gear Strive timed exclusivity
Oddworld Soulstorm timed exclusivity
Forspoken timed (?) exclusivity
Bugsnax timed exclusivity
Kena timed (?) exclusivity
Stray timed (?) exclusivity
Worms Rumble timed exclusivity
Solar Ash timed exclusivity
The Pathless timed exclusivity
Tribes of Midgard timed exclusivity
FFVII R timed (?) exclusivity
FFXVI timed (?) exclusivity
NioH 2 timed (?) exclusivity
NBA 2K23 exclusive Myteam content
Avatars Fronteier of Pandora has PS5 exclusive content/marketing
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War - timed exclusive content
Call of Duty Vanguard - timed exclusive content
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - timed exclusive content
Hogwarts Legacy - timed/ exclusive content
Calisto Protocol - timed/ exclusive content
Control - PS4 exclusive mission


I mean there's arguably a lot of stuff in the last 2 years that I am not remembering at the moment, but again, unlike GhostOfTsu 's list which spans 2+ decades, this is all from 2020 onward.

So, to answer the original question.

Yes it would, the list would be incredibly lopsided, much more so than any of us can fathom.

Literally going back like 6 years minimum but yes both companies have done it in the past on bigger games. Sony is doing it more currently across more larger third party titles and Microsoft has decided to take a different approach.

I'm sure its not going to stop either, probs get worse.

Yes but you said MS never did a very specific thing when they have. If you want to be less specific with your content or your periods then you don't need to go back that far. It's going to be funny when MS signs up again with these deals how it will be spun into a good thing. I don't remember it being this much of an issue during the 360 days.

Like a Dragon next-gen update was timed exclusive as well (and Tetris thing but I don't like Tetris so... Meh).
Pretty big list.

Every day I see people mention Psygnosis, Tomb Raider Saturn and FF7. That's from 1993 to 1997 and they're still using them for console wars. At least our examples are from the 2000s

That's it ?

Wow I thought it would be longer. Props for trying.

I'm gonna spare listing every game and content Sony has money hatred cause that would be a page long list itself

Considering MS doesn't money hat, I'd say that list is more than comprehensive

You should realize that the majority of the list consists of games that were RECENTLY ANNOUNCED as time exclusive.

There's way more.

So we went from Xbox is innocent and guilt-free to SonyToo? We gave you dozens of examples and twice you said it's not enough. At least pretend you're arguing in good faith

Who said that ? if anyone says that tell them they're wrong.

I said one side does it a lot more. Which is a fact.

It doesn't make one more guilty than the other.

 

[Evil Calvin]

I thought Jim Ryan said this was anti consumer when Microsoft does the exact same thing?

Can't go both ways..

Yep. And you can find these types of deals that PS does 10x more than MS does. I don't care as I have both consoles, but the hypocrisy by Jim Ryan is hilarious.

It might or might not, I'm not the one who started the petty list comparison stuff tho.

Maybe, maybe not. But I believe it is a natural counter to all the green rats trying to convince everyone that Sony is the bad guy in all of this.

 

[Arachnid]

Welp, guess I'm getting this preowned or resale. Exclusive content or year long deals = no money to pubs/devs from me
