Ex-Blizzard president Mike Ybarra believes “consoles will never die” and that failing companies are pushing “the narrative that fits for them”.
Ybarra replied to comments on X comparing Sony’s focus on exclusivity and Microsoft’s multiplatform approach for Xbox games.
“If your strategy is to win the living room, you need exclusive hits because winning is both a platform and games perspective,” said Ybarra.
It’s certainly a perceptive series of comments from the ex-Blizzard president, following his departure from the company after Microsoft’s $68.7bn acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
