The flops of pre-orders for an old Xbox hit on PS5 have been totally distinct from the disappointments of pre-ordering a latest Xbox hit on PS4.
The momentum of such games may be on a decline as the craze moves to multi-plateform games. Xbox and PC exclusive game called Sea of Thieves, which is currently, has the pre-order number one status on the Sony PlayStation Store in the region of United States according to Windows Central.
The strategic realignment of Microsoft is regarded a successful move of the company.
The good news was confirmed in February, the Sea of Thieves being added to the list of the Xbox-exclusive games brought to PS5. This is due to the new approach of Microsoft that includes releasing their big-budget exclusive titles on other competitor platforms rather than just Xbox. “Except the single-platform exclusives, Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming CEO, stated that, they will account for a decreasing share of the video game market in time.”
A possibility of the advent of cross-platform which calls for prior considerations.
The Sea of Thieves’ success on PlayStation Store is a pointer to the platform-agnostic strategy that Microsoft has adopted. Additionally, other titles that have been confirmed such as the Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded, which will be available for PS5 in a little fewer weeks, look forward to a massive audience. The North American Microsoft manufacturer ships the XBOX games subscription with earnings but it still not making profits. The sale of Sea of Thieves on PS5 may indicate the improve of cross-platform to be the way for the Redmond company.
