GP increases the pool of available games, but not the pool of available time.
I mean, who can be 100% certain about that, right?
I can't and am obviously not.
But I'd be 100% surprised if Playstation brought their biggest games, and even smaller ones like Returnal or Astro Bot, to Xbox.
This would not just give Xbox a boost in whatever metric, but also diminish Playstation's own attraction.
An attraction Sony had spent hundreds of million, probably billions of USD over decades to b...
It would be beyond my understanding how Sony would want to diminish a +30bn dollar segment by going multiplatform with Playstation's biggest asset - that is AA to AAA singleplayer games that are critically and universally acclaimed everywhere, and that sold tens of millions of copies.
Why would they give that huge investment to Xbox? For what reason? For a 70% cut?
To me it's just delusional to think The Last of Us, God of War or Spiderman will ev...
What they didn't just do allegedly though, is to cut Turn 10 in half.
Don't know if that's gonna be enough to have Forza Motorsport 9 at launch for Xbox Next.
No matter how good (or bad) the last Motorsport was.
Allegedly killing their own sim racer they've built up for decades in the dawn of their next hardware iteration is such a strange decision.
"But like perfect dark Microsoft rushed the announcement to show they are serious about gaming and collaborating with other developers outside of their core studios."
I think you've nailed Xbox' biggest disease (they want to cure by buying other stuff).
ActivisionBlizzardKing was the fn biggest third party publisher out there, and Zenimax wasn't that much of a smaller fish.
What the f is wrong with you people not understanding the concept of, IF you buy two of the biggest publishers in the industry, you simply continue to release their shit and by necessity become the biggest third party publisher out there.
Jesus man.
Why ... didn't you just read the article? Or did you?
"a slap in the face of how bad Sony's own output has been this gen.“
Bro, trust me, I ain't the guy to be seduced of the BS that Xbox released Doom and shit.
Xbox released nothing but Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport, FH5 & Flight Sim during the Series generation for their own hardware.
Playstation's own lineup for PS5 is already ahead of th...
Everybody should maybe calm a bit and read the PushSquare article.

This still remained my personal opinion about the health of the Xbox brand despite their "+9% revenue" quarter result last week.
Because +9% in revenue after they had increased many prices of ø+16% and sold many games on Playstation over the last 12 months is anything but a healthy state.
And this is only revenue. Show us the operating income table.
Shortcuts Q1 2025:
• Sony total revenue USD 17.7 billion (up 2%)
• Operating income USD 2.3 billion (up 36%)
Playstation:
• G&NS revenue USD 6.3 billion (up 8%)
• Operating income USD 1 billon (up 127%)
• Hardware up 0.1 millon units
• First party software sales 6.9m (up 0.9m)
• Total software sales 65.9m (up 12.3m)
• PSN 123m (up 7m)
It's already spread everywhere I look, no boogy if it fails here.

Since when's AMD financial reports fake?
Ah, I see, since you've again created an account here.
My bad, clicked too late, should have known better.
See you soon, pal.
Since you've flagged your own tweet as misinformation by yourself - no.
I haven't shared anything.
But thank you for flagging the tweet of your reference as misinformation right away without even sharing it.
Go ahead, share the tweet.
I asked if the tweet you are claiming to have read on Twitter saying PS5 sold 10m units so far, if this tweet links to AMD's official Q4 report?
That's all I am asking. It's basically a yes or no question.
Is it backed up by AMD's official Q4 report of 2024?
They are probably clearly thinking about it.
But in the end, no, I don't believe that Playstation's biggest IPs will see the day of light on Xbox at least until current-gen is over.
And then they'll probably evaluate again if Xbox Next turns out to be only another PC.
I find it highly unlikely that the president of Sony agrees to throw Playstation's biggest asset overboard only for a 70-cut of an Xbox software sale.
Around 2012-2016, they should have started to put money into game development, even if it would have meant to buyout studios.
Let's say 10 to 15bn dollars as an invesment, and this would have been an enormous amount of money already to be able to develop 10 to 20 IPs, maybe even new ones, maybe even one or two of them to have ready at launch for their 12TF machine.
Well, they didn't.
They thought they'd rather buy Call of Du...
