    The difference with the analogy you’re making is that the significance/value of my marriage is not dependent on other marriages. My Xbox continuing to get support does however depend on M$oft valuing their hardware. Opening up their exclusives seems like they’re communicating that they don’t care about hardware sales (therefore the hardware itself) as much as game/software sales.

    So the reason why I’m concerned if they decide to go this route is that they won’t maintain the hardware I own. That’s probably not 100% accurate and I “technically” knew the risk when I bought it, but still not a great feeling.

    Overall though I’m anti exclusives, so longterm I would hope it’s a good thing.
