## Microsoft Xbox Survey
Microsoft sent a survey to Insider Program users asking how likely they would be to switch to Xbox if games like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Minecraft became exclusive.

> 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
## Xbox Exclusivity Options
The survey offers choices for users to switch to Xbox, buy a new console, move to PC, or skip exclusivity if games went fully console-exclusive.
## Fallout and Elder Scrolls
Microsoft considers making Fallout 5, The Elder Scrolls 6, and Diablo 5 Xbox exclusive to boost hardware sales but risks losing users to PlayStation.
## Minecraft Exclusivity
Minecraft would become Xbox exclusive with existing titles no longer available on PlayStation or Nintendo but would keep current content for owners.
## Hardware Sales Impact
Xbox hardware sales are at historic lows due to RAMpocalypse, but exclusivity could drive demand if games like Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 become exclusive.
## Risk of Exclusivity
Microsoft risks losing users to PlayStation if it makes Xbox a simple publisher, as PlayStation has already clawed back from Steam and Windows PC gaming.
## Xbox Future
Microsoft may consider Xbox exclusivity to fix its multiplatform strategy but faces risks of hardware sales and user retention.
## Key takeaway

Microsoft surveys Xbox users on potential exclusivity for Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Minecraft to boost hardware sales.
