I like how we had a few months of kumbaya in the console wars. PlayStation games on PC, XBOX games on PS5 and Nintendo was like, get fucked.
Now PlayStation is like Nah.
Xbox is like, Peace out! And just like that, the console wars have begun again.
Bring on Project Helix.
According to Jeff Grubb during Giant Bomb’s Nite Day 2 event, Gears of War: E-Day was originally planned for PS5, but Microsoft has reportedly decided to make it an Xbox exclusive.
“Gears of War E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It’s not anymore. That just happened. That was a decision that just got made.”
If true, the decision could mark a change in Microsoft’s strategy, with a bigger focus on using exclusives to strengthen the Xbox brand, and makes sense since what Sharma said these last weeks
Keeping Gears of War: E-Day exclusive could help Xbox stand out, but it would also miss PS5 sales.
Microsoft has not officially commented on the report, so the information should be treated as a rumor until confirmed.
