Ah, it seems like only yesterday you guys were boycotting Microsoft for putting its games on other platforms.
Sony and Nintendo, Steam and Epic control licensing on their own platform, they do not have to offer licenses, they deny games all the time.
But it would be karmically hilarious if Microsoft had to sue to get Sony and Nintendo to save them.
Just adding to the over 5000 people who have lost their jobs since Microsoft bought Bethesda.
And I just want to add that this BS is exactly what Microsoft wants, they want to put a bunch of crappy indies and failing games on PlayStation then pay websites to write a bunch of BS about how PlayStation now "owes" Microsoft it's games.
This is the same scam Microsoft has been running since they duped Sony into agreeing to cross play.
Where are the calls for Nintendo to release it's games on xbox eh? Of course that's not getting...
No.
Sony should not only not put their games on xbox, Sony and Nintendo should refuse to let Microsoft profit by peddling their old failing games on their consoles.
Microsoft is costing them more than the pennies they will make selling their old games and dollar store indies. Let Microsoft suffer the burden of buying up all these publishers with no way to properly support them.
Microsoft isn't competing, they are just stealing off Sony.
For the most part every console before Microsoft had it's own unique library of games, all Microsoft has ever done is have 99% the same games as Sony. Xbox has only ever existed to damage PlayStation profitability, and that is what they have done even more so now that they are buying up whole multiplatform publishers and developers who have historically had strong ties with PlayStation.

This is the same price it's been almost nonstop since November... In fact it's been sold for even less and bundled with more crap and they still couldn't sell them.
There is one glaring problem with this deal, you have to take a xbox.
The problem here is, you believe Phil and would rather listen to his spin than analyze what he is actually saying and cut through the BS.
"Totilo then asked Spencer if the numbers were being cooked somewhat by last year’s rebranding of Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass Core, essentially turning all Xbox Gold subscribers into Game Pass subscribers."
Now read Phil answer...
"Spencer replied that the number of players who had...
Sony and Nintendo should say no.
Why help Microsoft fund a system they are using to steal your profits. Microsoft is costing Sony and Nintendo more through competition than the "30%" they are making selling the games. Microsoft games are basically games that would have been on PlayStation and Nintendo if Microsoft hadn't bought the publishers.
Only Microsoft truly gains by having these games on PlayStation and Nintendo.
I don't know where you got that "Majority paying for Ultimate at £12.99" part, because they is clearly not true.
"Microsoft also started converting Xbox Live Gold subscribers over to Xbox Game Pass Core last year, and the company has confirmed to The Verge that the 34 million includes those subscribers, too."
It's likely true that the number of actual game pass subscribers is lower than the 25M they said in the past and I ...
Xbox consoles aren't going to start selling better, and people aren't going to start buying software on the console, the reality is xbox is still struggling, the only thing that is keeping them afloat is Microsoft money.
You dodged a bullet today, that's it...
I'm sure it'll be at least 17% more powerful than the PS6.

This whole thing was just a big tough guy posturing session acting relevant when in reality is PS5 and the near end of life Switch both outsold xbox 4+ to one last year. They act like they are giving something out but what they need is revenue from and exposure on those platforms.
Multiple reliable sources (2k several industry tracking companies) have revealed that at the end of 2023 SX had only sold 23m and that 2023 was actually down far mo...
Phil, no one cares about the two people on xbox that are still willing to pay for games.
"XBOX WILL LIVE ON!!!"
You had to say it... You must have been pretty nervous to need to put that in all caps.
One step closer to playing Blade on my PS5 Pro.
I'd like to see Sony and Nintendo tell Microsoft to shove off. Phil acting like they owe him something after he bought up a bunch of games that would have been multiplatform to begin with.
Microsoft is not competent, they just have a lot of money.
If xbox wasn't completely subsidized and had to exist on it's own profits it would have failed already. And they certainly wouldn't have been able to get game pass off the ground and spend a hundred billion buying publishers.
Don't point out that Starfield had twice the development time and sold less than 3m and the vast majority of those sales were on Steam not xbox.
Hmm, xbox fans didn't have a problem with talking about Steam numbers that one day that Halo beat Destiny.
