Still a Switch exclusive release, no matter what paint you put on it. Sorry i will call it this to appease you :-
Switch console exclusive, is that better?
They do not mention new acquisitions, but more financial investment in the in-house studios :-
"To enhance the software offering, Sony aims to continue investing in partnering with external studios in addition to “aggressively investing” in in-house studios."
So i think they will get more timed content from 3rd parties, along with investing in 1st party. Housemarque may not set them back that much, maybe a few million, but it is whether they wou...

I completely forgot about Biomutant.
On point, the only console with an exclusive in May is the Switch.
"The real numbers from their acccouts show a different story this is what what investors and hedge funds and such use to invest & decide the true market of the share price/ value accordingly."
And share value is up in line with the financial report, what does that tell you?

It's bedtime
For playstation fans
Let the downplay begin
The software and services is not though?
"while Xbox Content and Services revenue grew 34% ($739 million) year-on-year due to the performance of first-party and third-party games, and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions."

"Point is we won't see most of what they acquired much later down the road. Phil should have started to acquire by year 4-5 of xbox one this way by now we may start to see those studios start to make games"
We are not talking about games from the Bethesda aquisition, we are talking details about MS 1st party outside the acquisition.
Hellblade 2
Forza
Halo Infinite
plus...
And every E3, we get something, whether that be new game announcements, release dates, hardware showings.
This narrative of "wait for E3" applies to all the big 3, they all have said it at some point. It is just the only thing left fanboys have to throw at the wall and hope that it sticks.
"We learn that gaming revenue was $3.533 billion and grew 50% (by $1.2 billion according to the form 10Q) year-on-year, while Xbox Content and Services revenue grew 34% ($739 million) year-on-year due to the performance of first-party and third-party games, and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions."
Xbox are doing poorly though and should leave the industry /s
All this without the xbox hitters like Halo Infinite, Forza, Gears, tell you what they are doi...
@neutralgamer1992
" the only thing that's really coming from Microsoft side right now that we know of is Halo infinite"
Come off it lol, have a day's break, you conveniently missed off :-
Hellblade 2
The Ascent
Psychonauts 2
State of Decay 3
Avowed
Fable
And that is before we even touch Zenimax, we know these games are all coming, they have all been announ...
They have different chips, so chances are they may not be able to produce the same amount.
Both will have their own manufacturers contract.
Only solidifying the fact that the Series is outselling the xbox one, by a larger margin than we know.

The question is, why are you so bothered they are combined? what does it matter?
They both play the same games, just at different resolutions/framerates.
PS4 and PS4 Pro have combined sales, same games different specs, do you think they should have seperated sales statistics too?
@waverider
If Microsoft make an improvement on the previous iterations sales, then according to Microsoft it is not a flop.
You want to label it a flop, to fit your narrative, was Vita a flop then? That only just outsold WiiU.
Does that mean in it's current state we can label Series S/X and PS5 as currently being "sales flops" as they have yet to reach your target of 50 million?
If a console makes a prof...
@Robodrake
"Holy shit. The ps4 was breaking sales records back in 2014,"
And the Switch has outsold PS4 by 13.3 million units in the same timeframe.
49 weeks on the market :
PS4 : 69.5 million
Switch : 82.9 million
I'd love to hear how you deflect and deny this one?
@Nyxus
Why so defensive? I never said they never would?
Jim said (in the interview you linked) that they will not rule out that option, not that they are going to be actively engaging in acquisitions, just like i commented, but for some reason it has got your back up, and your going all in defense, deny and deflect mode.
Jim Quote - "We have engaged in mergers and acquisitions several times in the past, such as with Insomniac Games...
