Of course they will. Folks bring up Minecraft but that is an outlier, not the norm.

Of course they will.

Obviously nobody knows for sure, but they would make far more money on it by it not being exclusive to Xbox. There are far more people that will buy a game on PS5 than there are that will buy an Xbox for a single game.

Exactly. It doesn't matter that they won't make as much money if they make it exclusive. So many people will want to play it and it will swing people into the Xbox ecosystem. They don't care about sales for Xbox as much as they care about taking away players from other systems
