But to sway players it is often the case that a new IP would not do much. Something that they are already a fan of being exclusive however will.They can still achieve same thing with first party Japanese games instead of wasting money on third party timed exclusives.
Continuing a franchise which was not a big seller is also not wise although Sony often does it.
For example assume Gravity Rush was multiplatform and a big seller.
Sony buys exclusivity for Gravity Rush for PS5. Would that convince you or Dojo Warrior the new JRPG? Which one would have more sway for you? Do I need to ask?
I do agree though that it may be a waste. If anything I suspect MS would do something shitty like this because they don't have a lot of FF fans on their platform even if it would cost them a lot more.
