Not every game is going to sell well, unfortunately, there are just too many good games coming out these days.
Dude was grabbing at any straw he could and basically making guesses on what seems plausible but hardily from insider knowledge. Just as good of a guess is that Sony will talk at TGS.
Bad title for the article, basically rent the game on Ubisoft+ for a month rather than make a purchase.
Once Xbox started up Games Pass and made its games available on xCloud, PC, and streaming services it deprecated the need to purchase a console. But this is all console warrior BS as the company itself will still makes money selling their wares everywhere. People are just upset because they cannot hold over a game over another platform. These games are still available to play for them but they just have more options as to where.
Sounds like positive news and it's already been proven that the audience is there for these games to be on PlayStation. Plus, having sold 3x more consoles than Xbox it just makes good business sense. It's early days but eventually games will just be everywhere and platform agnostic.
Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.
Sony should definitely try to get the console marketing partnership for Rockstar's upcoming GTA VI. This would give them a killer PS5 Pro bundle as it would be advertised as the best console that can run GTA VI. 100% this would move PS5 Pro units at least in the time windows before the PC version hits after the 6–12-month console exclusive period.
Didn't acquire anything as they own Bungie already and all of its projects. This was a realignment of resources nothing more.
Makes sense someone needs to right the ship. Hopefully this can be done without any more layoffs but that seems like a hard challenge given the environment.
He may be a bad boss but he is allowed to spend his own money however he wants.
Just get the inevitable PS5 Pro GTA Bundle.
It makes total sense as Games Pass is Microsoft's console now. With all Xbox games available on PC, Cloud, Smart TVs, and Firesticks people that might have bought a console to play a game now have the option to play elsewhere and dump out if it's not for them. Microsoft and Xbox are the first but given enough time all game consoles will eventually become a service application.
Considering that it needs to phone home to be of any serious use and the fact that it will most likely get added to a block list. Seems like the person that sold it took advantage of the buyer.
Since MS is heading full steam into being a service-based company. Xbox will eventually morph into the same model as MS-Office or Windows. Where the product can be used on any device capable of running it, however, they will still make a boutique console just like they do with their Surface line of PCs.
BS on the exclusive deal as it would be a big marketing point by Sony and Game Sience. Since, Sony is relying on 2nd & 3rd party to carry them this fall they would defintely be advertising it especially if they paid. The truth is Xbox Series S is getting more and more difficulty to meet Series X parity. Which has been poven out multiple times, which, is the case here but Microsoft is not going to say that and Game Sience is being diplomatic so they will not either.
Cool. if it haoppens even better if they can somehow get discs to work as well.
False philosophy, every business industry does something special to make their products stand out from the crowd. Exclusivity will always be in the gaming industry in one from or another. However, there does need to be more realistic financials during the creation of these games.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. MS artifically increasing its first party studio DLC prices to force people into purchasing a Games Pass subscription.
Of course Playstation fans should be happy more than half the games shown during the showcase are also day one on Playstation and if not are on PC. However, there is more than a 50/50 chance that even Xbox only games highlighted could only be timed exclusives and go multiplatform.
Simple Naughty Dog didn't want to become a GAAS studio. Why didn't Sony hand off the project to a different studio to carry it forward that we may never know.
