Bethesda have been ropey for a few years now - I don't think they have any system sellers in their IP. Elder Scrolls and Fallout are massive but traditionally cross platform

I think Microsoft have done really well in recent years to claw back from the disaster of the XBOX One launch - but not sure this purchase is all that wise. We shall see
