This isn't good for consumers. MS has claimed that gamespass is profitable but there's just no way. It's revenue also year was revealed and we now have confirmation fhst games that launch day 1 on gp sell poorly as expected (why would you buy it when you can subscribe and play it and several other games all year for a similar price?) They also have confirmed they have to compensate game devs launching day and date for the sales they would have expected to get on xbox. So that mean...

Redenption-64 except God of War ragnarok cost about 350-400 million to make and market so it has sold exceptionally well most titles don't even sell half as many as this. Its sold through 11 million units right now assuming an average income to Sony of 55 dollars a unit once you factor in the proportion sold on disc by 3rd party retailers and on ps4 which was 10 dollars cheaper etc. That means that God of war will have made about 550 million dollars in revenue. Now subtract from that the ...

That image is literally from the first fight with thor when he grabs the hammers handle and gets dragged backwards by it and if it isn't its literally indistinguishable from the later fight it definitely isn't a spoiler.

@venom once you count support studios andbcontrectors this game has well over 1000 devs. Nevermind 300.

They were rarely cheaper, actually if you look you'll see the psn store has more frequent discounts and sales and of a wider number of games than retailers ever had for those cards. The retailers get almost nothing if not nothing for selling those cards it all goes to Sony o actually there is no profitability. Just as if I sell a psn top up card at work all of that money goes to Sony. Places stock them in hope customers come in and abut one and also end up buying other stuff or buy a con...

The cma mentions pc. This figure almost certainly excludes oc players so evidently MS is being totally disingenuous.

Yeah the CMA haven't fallen for it. They specifically mention Windows OS and xbl ans games pass on pc in their report.

^THIS, that figure counted PC Users that used games pass of xbl on pc and anyone using x cloud via a TV. Now they are trying to use figures for consoles only.

This figure is completely disingenuous. Yes in terms of monthly CONSOLE USERS but not once you factor in games pass and xbl users on pc. No it does nit infact MS has more I belive based on figures released last month....

They are completely different bodies (although they cooperate) the British regulator called out loot boxes and even had it discussed in Parliament before the eu did though I might add) although that is a different regulator...

@computesci
Guarantee its in the small print that games pass day 1 is the exception and that is why Sony said to the eu regulator that MS were not offering parity.

You can appeal it just it undergoes judicial review not a full blown court case with all its intricacies. What is assessed is if the process by which the CMA made its decision was fair and evidence based. It's actually a very reasonable and fair process that is less open to abuse.

If MS is allowed to buy them you seriously think tencent eould be able to.

It could? It's pretty dimple logic to follow how.

"The hardware coukd have been designed to allow backwards compatibility" yeah it could bit that would mean holding back the hardwares potential and not using inside out tracking which would have been ridiculous.

The destiny 1 content dearth issue except destiny 2 and its model was already a thing so they had no excuse not to know what was required. They are giving up unlike bungie instead of releasing an avengers 2 that continues the story and fixes the issues abd allows for quicker more substantial content addition.
