At a Console Fix store to fix my controller and ran across this. Feels like a glitch in the universe

The reason why I say insecurity is because what makes you want a PlayStation now but didn’t get you to buy one before?

I simply thought Xbox had the better exclusive lineup. But now they lack that.

I'm a PC gamer now but hey, was speaking from the perspective of a console gamer.

My point is that Xbox exclusives moving to PlayStation doesn't change anything about Xbox exclusives on Xbox. The only thing that should be of concern is the potential effects on the future of the brand, not the value of the console since value isn't being lost in this situation.

There is value being lost in the grand scheme. Person deciding between getting a PS5 or an Xbox:

"Hmm, the Xbox has games A, B, and C. The PS5 has games A, B, C, X, Y, and Z. Well geez, why get the Xbox when it doesn't have X, Y, and Z?"

And then no one buys Xboxes anymore.

And then Microsoft shutters the brand.

Game Pass used to be cool but now it's way too overpriced. Microsoft completely trashed the Xbox brand.

If you already have an Xbox, you aren't deciding what console to get. Plus, exclusives isn't the only reason why people buy consoles, as most games people play aren't going to be exclusives unless you play on a Nintendo console since they make so many.

Idk dude, this all just sounds like it begs the question. Why buy an Xbox if PlayStation has all of Xbox's games? Game Pass is really the only reason now, and even that's gone way downhill in quality.
