Xbox Survey About Exclusives Includes A Nuclear Strategy, But Wait Just A Minute

Microsoft is reportedly surveying a subset of Xbox users about changing its plans for exclusive games going forward--possibly in a big way--and that's no surprise given Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has alluded to changes to the exclusivity strategy in the future.

At the same time, a survey like this is not necessarily indicative of anything beyond Microsoft conducting research. After all, there is an entire team at Xbox called Xbox Research that ... researches all manner of things, and the results of that research doesn't always lead to changes in the marketplace.

Windows Central reports that a new survey was issued to some Xbox Insiders this week, and the site confirmed the survey to be real.

The survey asks how members might feel about the totally nuclear option of making all Xbox-developed games except Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox on console.

"Imagine it was announced that all future title releases from every Xbox-developed gaming franchise except Call of Duty will be console-exclusive to Xbox," the survey asks.

It goes on: "For Minecraft only, existing titles would no longer be available for purchase on PlayStation or Nintendo consoles and would not receive any new content updates. However, there is no impact to any of the existing titles or content you already own. Nothing changes on PC with this announcement."

The survey asks respondents to say in this scenario, where they would be most likely to play any of the exclusive content. The choices are:

Another page of the survey specifically asks about Fallout, polling users about how they would feel if future Fallout games would be console-exclusive to Xbox, and with nothing changing at all on PC.
