Not without facing huge financial/legal penalties and bad PR
A major corporation going out of their way to try and dissolve a binding contract for another major corporation is playing with fire. Sony would ahve took whatever money they received from the ordeal and money hatted something else lol
So not only do they get the game still they get whatever losses incurred from doing that so its even more profit for them
Phil knows the business better than you do which is why he didn’t touch it
M$ legal bucks are long and lawyers strong.
I also never suggested he make such a terrible business choice. Especially coming from Xbox and the hate they get. Only that things could have been tweaked in a matter that the PS5 version wasn't as attractive.
But that wouldn't be the brightest of ideas, nor does Phil work that way.
If it was up to him he'd probably have everything multi platform. But he understands that exclusives are important.
