No, it's only a problem because Sony does it MORE.

The article even states it.

"Sony has 286 exclusive games, while Xbox has 59"

So it’s Sony’s fault that Microsoft are completely incapable of producing worthwhile exclusives beyond Halo, Forza, and Gears?

They certainly aren’t lacking for studios, even if you ignore the ones they acquired when they bought Bethesda.

It also begs the question - what are Microsoft claiming as a PlayStation exclusive? Are they just going by PS4 & PS5 games? Are they including defunct franchises like Twisted Metal?

It's more that they cross platform with PC more. All three of the things you mentioned aren't even exclusive fully anymore, so I'd give Sony a pass on done of their recent choices to do pc too. The numbers are still quite strikingly different

That’s why I’m not talking about PC - Sony are gradually releasing more of their games on PC, but they only started doing that in the past year or so.

Microsoft are arguing from a position of bad faith by just throwing numbers at us without providing any sort of context.
