FFXVI only PS5?

Then explain why we even have consoles in the first place then? Its absolutely to sell consoles and I'm pretty sure SE has made some deals to have their game be exclusive for it for a set time. This has always been the case for the FF series.

Do you think SE is somehow a major contributor to Playstation sales? Because there's really no reason for anyone to assume that given how many different companies, including Sony themselves, put out titles for the console. They have a long-standing relationship with Sony, but that doesn't mean they're for some reason trying to push the Playstation super hard without some underlying cause.

As for exclusivity, that's not uncommon anymore. A lot of game developers will make those deals. It's a way to make sure they will profit from a title, as relying on pure sales may not pan out if the game is not as well received as they might have anticipated. Heck, exclusivity deals are basically the only thing keeping the Epic platform alive. The practice is quite harmful to the gaming industry, but it isn't going anywhere until a financial reason is given for it to cease.
