Gee, wonder why.
That's a good thing - as the consumer.
The less exclusives, the better. We don't need lock-ins, we need open platforms and open systems. If I want a plug&play gaming experience I can buy a console, if I want maximum performance and quality in a more maintenance and setup intensive package I can build my own PC.
For real - it’s so nice nowadays being able to play nearly any hot new game I want to on my desktop. Never been a huge fan of consoles - keyboard+mouse was always far more natural for me, but then again I was big into C&C and SC when I was a kid. The only console I’ve really loved since the N64 is the switch, and that’s largely because I can bring it on a long flight and fuck around in ZELDA: BOTW or TOTK for hours on end, which is awesome (I tend to avoid putting games on my personal dev laptop, and it also only has an iGPU).
C & C ?
C N' C ?

Oh
Command & Conquer
One vision! One purpose! Peace through power!
RISE UP!
MKB is more natural because controllers are redesigned constantly to create a false sense of innovation. The fundamentals of controlling a figure on a screen have not changed, nor have hands.
its almost like it needed the exclusives to be worth it
Here are the trends with previous consoles:
PS1 : 455 -> PS2 : 512 -> PS3 : 180 -> PS4 : 58 -> PS5 : 15
Xbox : 106 -> Xbox 360 : 214 -> Xbox One : 12
Nintendo 64 : 129 -> Nintendo Wii : 328 -> Nintendo Wii U : 38 -> Nintendo Switch : 174
And that’s why the newest console I own is a Switch, and everything else I play is on PC.
I’ve even moved all my Switch playing to PC hahaha
That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?
They’re a gamer what other credentials do you need?
I just referenced the data in the wikipedia container article here for some select consoles.

Now do the same for PC
The source notes that for Mac there have been 2 exclusive games across all versions, and for Windows, there have been about 2560 across all versions. There doesn't appear to be a listing for Linux unfortunately.
So the Xbox one series (aka Xbox one 2) has zero dedicated games?
It depends on how the source categorized the information and how Microsoft classifies the Xbox One versus the Xbox One Series (whether as being two actual different consoles, or two versions of the same console.)

There is only one entry for anything related to Xbox One as far as I can see so I expect the 12 it notes are distributed across all versions of the Xbox One, or that there are 0 dedicated games for the Xbox One Series proper.
where is the GameCube or xbox series?
I don't think Xbox Series has exclusives. All of their stuff is on PC afaik.
There is no listing in the source for Xbox Series, however Gamecube shows 80 exclusive titles.
Jesus, only 4 games in that otherwise short short list ring a bell for me.
Its a good time to be a PC player. I mean, it was before. But it is now, too.
Shouldn't FF16 also be on this list? Given that FF7 Rebirth will almost definitely see a PC port, I don't think the ongoing development of an FF16 PC port should exclude it from the list.
