The purchase of new studios will help this goal.
Today in the fight between Sony and Microsoft to win the highest percentage of users and, with it, income, it is clear that it is PlayStation that is winning with a considerable advantage, since not only do we have PlayStation 5 outselling Xbox Series X / S, but PlayStation 4 has sold twice as much as Xbox One, with some 120 million units sold worldwide.
It is precisely for this reason that Microsoft’s interest with its console is catch up with your direct competitor, this being the objective that the American company would have proposed, as the head of Xbox Game Studios has been able to express: Matt Booty. And for this, it seems that they are going to focus on the development of different video games.
Microsoft will release more exclusive video games to compete with Sony
This he has been able to express in an interview with Kinda Funny Games, where he has established that Xbox Game Studios to focus on creating blockbuster games, that is, in AAA triples and immersive experiences, emphasizing that with the Xbox Game Pass all game classes have their place.
It should be noted that Booty has praised Sony’s work with PlayStation games, mentioning that the quality and art that are present in the different exclusive titles of the Japanese company is indisputable. In fact, the interview has resulted in target reaching these standards.
Microsoft would need its own Uncharted, its own Horizon, among others, but with nuances
He points out that there are sagas like Uncharted and Horizon Zero Dawn that should not so much have an equivalent of gameplay on Xbox, but an equivalent in the weight that they have in the video game industry. They need games that have a universal theme throughout the world, make them recognizable.
To achieve this end, it seems that the purchase of studies by Microsoft will be essential, since the more studies, the more games can be made. It is pure business logic, especially now that so many exclusive titles have been promised after the various Microsoft conferences, such as the last one held at E3 2021.
The purchase of new studies would be aimed at
It should be noted that It will be necessary to see if these IPs that Microsoft intends to develop end up having the weight of Sony’sSince, after all, these are either established brands or they come from studios that have already made a name for themselves within the video game industry. Only time will tell if they achieve their goal or if, on the contrary, they fall halfway.
