Im sure Microsoft would love to get rid of exclusives. Especially since they’ve had so much trouble shipping theirs.

Sony is the market leader because they have a lot of development studios and actually produce and release games. Microsoft has struggled immensely with their own studios to actually get AAA games out the door. If Microsoft actually capitalized on the multiple years that the PS5 was so hard to get by released good quality AAA exclusives, Microsoft would be the market leader today. They thought they could coast on Halo, Gears, Forza and not release much else and that’s simply not enough when Sony has had so many great exclusives.
