"Again, point still stands that Tencent is bigger in the gaming market than MS and them positioning themselves as such will make them a dominant player in the market."
How so?! Again you make a bunch of unsubstantiated claims that you can't even back up! They can position all they want. You still haven't explained how they're set to be 'dominant' when they only own 6 studios. If they're so dominant then why is Microsoft making partnersh...
@Lightning
Wow you're so wrong on so many things its not even funny. First Tencent owns only 6 studios in total. Making investments in Epic or other companies is not the same as having controlling interest in them or running them.
As for Sony making their own COD. If it's so easy then why has no shooter beaten COD? Couldn't you say the same about Xbox/Microsoft?! Seems like $76 billion be used to make a COD clone?! Plus if they only want...
To be fair Xbox is Bleeding a lot of money and failing a lot in terms of lack of software, lack of sales in general and Gamepass missing targets 2 years in a row too. So let's be honest Xbox would just fail the gamers again even if they did launch VR its not like they would make any good games or support it properly anyways.
They can't even support their own console well. So yeah they should probably just try to concentrate on releasing games first.
Just because Xbox is a failure does NOT mean Playstation can't succeed. You're also the same guy who said let's look at Playstations sales report then ghosted when it turns out they made $8.8 billion revenue and broke the industry record.
Playstation must be doing something right if despite the 'failure' of PSVR according to you that Playstation STILL managed to break the industry record 3 times. Must mean Playstations endeavors have been somewhat suc...
"So that does prove at least that in the gaming landscape, MS does not and cannot have a monopoly."
That literally makes no sense. Tencent which you painted as some big bad evil owning a bunch of studios according to you and all you proved is that you actually don't ever have any facts backing any of your arguments.
You go in blindly defending Microsoft/Xbox without thought like a drone. It's absolutely 💯 idiotic.
<...
They're making games that are multiplatform and just investing in studios to make more money. How is it that them making pretty much multiplatform games that both Xbox and Sony benefits from even be considered bad?! Lol. Tencent only fully owns 6 studios!

Again no they do NOT. They only own 6 studios! The ones they invest in all make multiplatform games! So they're not removing games from rivals. Microsoft/Xbox however are taking away Multiplatform games. Can't even get your own story straight or FACTS even so just stop arguing when you're straight up just wrong.

"How is MS going for a monopoly when they have less studios than Tencent"
Gangsta you seem pretty misinformed. So would be great if you got FACTS to back you up. Last I checked 6 studios is far less than Xbox's 23. Yes the have invested in 800. But they only own 6. So this idea that Tencent is more of a threat than MS is complete fallacy. Sure they may buy more and get more aggressive, but, MS already has more studios and a lot of money kicking around.

Having games worth cloud saves however aren't as important. Funny talking about paywall then propping up a service you pay monthly to own nothing. Just idiotic.
You know they got ZERO links to back their trash talk. Apparently their opinions 🤷 are somehow considered fact now. Just look and Onisama claim Playstation has bad practices, but, Xbox currently doing 3rd party exclusive deals, Gamepass deals and locking out games from previously Multiplatform games is okay?! It's absolutely 💯 idiotic.
Except Xbox does the same thing quite often too. Did you forget upcoming Stalker 2? Warhammer Darktides? Ark 2? And a whole slew of other games Xbox is paying for exclusivity?! Lol
"You mean like Forspoken, right? Probably a good thing to not be on the same level as that game 🙄"
Weird perspective to have considering Forspoken was number 7 in the 10 games that month. Not sure how that's in anyway bad. I would think Xbox would be happy to have a top 10 game.

"The reality is that Gamepass is getting more and more support from big AAA developers"
Not really. Hardly any AAA games, maybe a handful of AA games or small indie projects for sure though. But vast majority of AAA games and publishers will skip Gamepass as its not profitable to them.
That's why you don't see 2K, Ubisoft, Warner Bros, EA, etc release day 1 games on Gamepass. Hence no day 1 Assassins Creed, Fifa, Madden, Harry Potte...
"The reality is that Gamepass is getting more and more support from big AAA developers willing to put their games day one for Gamepass subscribers and that´s all that matters."
Nah the 'reality' is that Playstation made $8.8 billion in revenue last quarter to break the industry record. They do NOT need to have games day 1 when it's literally idiotic to lose money for no reason. Case in point GoW Ragnarok did 11 million copies sold in under 3 m...
Really depends if there's a market for it and if they can. Small teams might prioritize systems that garner them sales. There many games that release on PS5/Switch/PC and not bother with Xbox. Especially if they see its unlikely to sell on Xbox. That's why Mages, Falcom and many small studios just don't bother with Xbox. No point if the cost end up more than they would make.
Can't spell IGNorant without IGN
My guess they release Spiderman around the time Spiderverse 2 movie releases and absolutely make a killing on both. Considering the 1st game sold 33+ million which already compares to Skyrims Lifetime sales too.
My point was its releasing on the Switch and PC on the same date so assuming it's a Playstation deal makes no sense. Nintendo makes timed exclusive deals too. Just look at the recent direct where more than once its mentioned 'First to Nintendo Switch "
Well if Skyrim sold 30 million across 3 generations and 9 consoles really makes you wonder what this game would have sold. Maybe they get lucky and PC sales take off like you suggest otherwise that's a lot of lost sales.
Also why would they want to de-throne themselves?! Lol. Tecmo Koei/Team Ninja make both games so if anything this would be an extension and evolution of their own work. No one wrote an article saying Elden Ring de-throning Dark Souls. Just that it was a great evolution of From Software and the genre they made famous. Writer just has a weird way of thinking of things.
