Sony's use of Xbox revenue for exclusivity deals revealed by Phil Spencer.
TL;DR Summary
Xbox boss Phil Spencer claims that Sony uses revenue from Xbox games on PlayStation to sign exclusivity deals and block third-party games from coming to Xbox. According to Spencer, Sony receives a 30% split from Xbox games and uses it "to try to reduce Xbox's survival on the market." This has resulted in numerous Square Enix games skipping over Xbox and pre-acquisition Bethesda games having console exclusivity deals with PlayStation. Spencer made these comments during Microsoft's legal battle with the FTC.
