One of the most interesting points about this news is that Microsoft is giving all of these publishers the right to create for other platforms just so long as their games debut on the Xbox One first. While this could mean that we will see games like Guacamelee and DiveKick on the Xbox One, it also does pose the question of which future titles will be timed exclusives. Could a game like Ryse: Son of Rome end up on the PS4? While it may be too early to tell, it will be interesting to see how these plans impact both brands in the long run.
