Speaking with Eurogamer, Xbox’s Head of Marketing Mike Ybarra said that he believes the current lineup for the Xbox One X is very strong and questions if many people would even want loads of exclusive titles on one console. Ybarra went on to use the wildly popular PlayerUnknown’s Battleground as an example. Stating..
“Bluehole’s announced an Xbox One X-enhanced version of PUBG on the console which I think gives people a lot of confidence. I think our line-up proves itself out. And when I look at six months beyond December, I see Crackdown which has a lot of excitement and I’m happy with the reaction to the delay – people saying ‘quality is what we want, take a few more months’. State of Decay 2 is coming. I like what that next six months looks like past December.”
“X is designed for the hardcore gamer who wants to play the best versions of those games. When I look at the Xbox family I don’t feel like we have to come out with six new games just for X, it’ll play everything that’s come out, back compat will work on it, elements like that. I don’t know if we’re still in the world of having to have big, exclusive titles just for one box, versus the promise that games you buy will work and look even better on X. It’s up to the user to choose. And for us it’s more that choice element, rather than holding an exclusive and throwing it out with a console there.”
