The Xbox Podcast deep dive on E-Day was published on Monday and briefly featured a version of the latest trailer that incorrectly stated that the game was coming to Sony’s console.
The PS5 logo slip-up in the Xbox podcast seems to support claims that the decision to make Gears an Xbox-only game was made at the last minute by its leadership team.
My assumption is that Microsoft made their games non-exclusive, because it gives them more sales in the short-term. If you need a good quarter to please investors, that’s an easy way to do it, at the cost of your Xbox brand.
At least it would be wild, if they assumed that Sony, a profit-driven company, would just return the favor.
