Published by BethesdaStarfieldWith the game about to be released on September 9, Microsoft listed this game as an Xbox platform exclusive, which greatly increased the sales of the Xbox Series X game console.
In addition to the game being exclusive to the Xbox platform, Microsoft is also creating a number of gaming peripheral accessories to coincide with the upcoming release of "Starfield", which is clearly one of the driving forces behind increasing sales of Xbox platform models.
According to Andrea Pichinini, an American gaming influencer who monitors Xbox and Nintendo Switch trends, Xbox Series X console sales on Amazon US increased by 1056%, indicating that the upcoming release of Starfield has significantly boosted Xbox console sales.

Andrea Pichinini also stated that in addition to "Starfield" becoming an Xbox exclusive, more game content, such as the new "Indiana Jones" game, will be released exclusively on the Xbox platform. This has transformed the Xbox platform from having "no attractive games" in the past to "not allowing games to be released on PlayStation."

"Xbox has no games! 😂"
That's it

On the other hand, Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard may be completed in the near future, which will obviously give Microsoft an advantage in expanding its game content. Even though Microsoft emphasizes that it will still provide Activision Blizzard-published games to competitors such as Sony and Nintendo on a fair basis in the next 10 years, the addition of its own first-party game works, games published by Bethesda, and game content published by Activision Blizzard are expected to make the Xbox game platform more competitive in the market.
