From a new article published by Stephen Totilo today. He had a chat with Asha Sharma and bought up the topic of exclusivity
As for those hottest of topics, Sharma and Booty had no additional info to share with me about exclusivity. No calls made yet. Choices around Xbox’s approach to exclusive games are “long-swinging decisions that have decade-long impact,” Sharma said.
“We’ll take a data-driven approach and a strategic-driven approach, and then we’ll look at our principles and we’ll make some calls. So we’ll share more when we’re ready,” she said.
I specifically asked if they had a timeframe for making a decision. “Nothing we’re ready to commit to,” she said, pointing out that she was in her role for only about 60 days.
She wasn’t going to rush it: “I want to make the right decision, not the fastest decision.”
