@gangsta_red "If games don't sell on Xbox like they claim then why do these same devs keep releasing on the Xbox console?"
Square-Enix is actually not releasing their games like FF7R and FFXVI on Xbox especially because they don't sell, not because of some imaginary deal you Xbox fanboys think Sony made. You guys need to realize your console of choice is just last place materiel that a lot of developers just don't give a shit about.
Metroid Prime 4 is probably not going to release at all, let alone this year.
60 millions in its lifetime? Forget that, it will probably do that by the end of 2023. Expect at least 100 millions in its lifetime.
As if making this or FF16 multiplatform would make any difference. Xbox gamers don't buy these kinds of games and the ones that do will just say they will wait until it's on gamepass to play it without spending 70$ because xbox gamers don't buy games anymore.
If you were to stop talking, we would be all for it.
@Sonyslave3 Actually, if that deal pass, not only can Sony acquire Take-Two if they manage to get the money, but the regulators won't have any powers to stop it. Them approving Microsoft's buyout of Activision pretty much gives Sony the ability to buy whoever they want without them having the ability to interfere. If they do try to stop them, all Sony has to do is say they allowed Microsoft to do the same and they will back off.
Them accepting the deal render them p...
Microsoft are scums and liars, they will definitely go back on their promises the very second that deal goes through, it's why Sony are trying to stop them. They promised Bethesda games wouldn't be exclusives and the first thing they did was make them exclusives. Nothing Microsoft or Phil Spencer says can be trusted. Especially Phil Spencer, everything that comes out of the guy's mouth is lies and bs, he is not better than Bobby Kotick in my book.
Everything that comes out of Phil Spencer and Microsoft's mouths are lies and bs. I can't believe there is so many people that fall for their bs. Just watch when the deal is approved, Microsoft will take back any deals they made.
If the deal does go through, the good thing is that Sony will be able to buy any publishers they want, like Square-Enix, Capcom or Take-Two (the ones rumored) and guess what? Regulators will be completely powerless to stop them because they...
The Series S and/or Gamepass are definitely the reason why Xbox isn't getting this game, not because Sony cut an imaginery deal with Square-Enix for permanent exclusivity. That is all in Microsoft's head and they claimed that without proof in their stupid crusade to try and get ABK.
By the way, apply that to all other games like FF7R, Forspoken and SH2.
You mean how they bought studios that already made 95% of their games exclusively for Playstation already and what wasn't was trash, so pretty much nothing was lost on Xbox side.
Or you're parroting the lie microsoft made about Sony buying permanent exclusive rights without any proof. The truth is, Sony bought FF7R and FF16 rights for 6 months and the real reason it's not coming to Xbox is because Square-Enix doesn't give a **** about it. Microsoft claimed S...
22:40 of bullshit and lies. It's all that comes out of this guy's mouth.
I am buying, but about a month after launch. Diablo 3 was a serious mess and was unplayable at launch, this definitely won't be different even though we are in 2023 and not 2012, Blizzard haven't learned anything.
Or I could save 100% by not buying this crap.
@Sonyslave3 All those studios made 95% of their games exclusively on Playstation already. Nothing was taken from the competitor. Yet you're a Xbox fanboy, you can't see clearly, you think that is the same as Microsoft buying an entire publisher which main fanbase is Sony (it's where they make the most money by far).
All those developers you named made like 1-2 games at most that were on other consoles out of 10-20 games each. I dare you to name them without look...
It's good for a consumer perspective, but from a developer's perspective, it's terrible since they make less money.
Just wait until every devs makes trash games with microtransactions because cutting down on quality and adding microtransactions to make any real money is going to be the only way to survive in the industry. Let's see then if it's good for the consumers.
Xbox and its fanboys are killing the industry.
It's the reason why Square-Enix isn't porting FF7R, FF16 and Forspoken to Xbox, not because Sony paid them not to do it. Sony paid for 6 months exclusivity, if it's not releasing beyond that, it's because Square-Enix doesn't care about Xbox, porting their games would make them no money since xbox fanboys are now too cheap to buy games, they wait for it to be on Gamepass. The amount Microsoft offers them to put it on gamepass is likely laughable and give them less money the...
That deal is not going to go through and thank god for that. Not only it would benifit no one except Xbox fanboys, but Microsoft are garbage and can't manage their studios. If they could, they would have good games like Sony and Nintendo and wouldn't need to buy publishers just to keep games off other platforms.
@cfir
I can't believe a place like America is the number one country in the world. I wouldn't want to set one foot in that shithole.
@Orchard 95%+ of ND and Insomniac games were exclusives to Sony already before they bought them. Insomniac only made Fuse and Sunset Overdrive on other platforms, Fuse was garbage and Sunset Overdrive didn't set the world on fire either.
ND made games on other platforms ... but can you seriously tell me what it is before looking it up? I bet you can't.
Sony buy studios that were pretty much making exclusives games for them already. They didn't...
It was revealed by Microsoft, who claimed this without any proof. The fact is, FF7R and FFXVI are not coming to Xbox because Square-Enix doesn't give a **** about Xbox, the game wouldn't sell and make profits under any circumstances, but now that Gamepass is a thing, xbox gamers are cheap, they don't even buy games anymore.
So no, Sony didn't make deals for those games, they don't need to. The reason it's not coming is that SE doesn't care. It...
