I mean, we’ll see…. $200 sounds about bright, but it’ll be releasing around the holidays.
Unfortunately Sony doesn’t have a war chest funded by the most popular software in office environments globally, but M$ does.
When Sony makes Destiny 3 a PS5 exclusive, then they’ll be doing the same thing as making DOOM 3 an Xbox exclusive.
But they aren’t making a legacy franchise suddenly gated to one console.
Sony makes, Xbox buys.
Then make them…. They had Halo and Gears.
Even DOOM 3, a legacy franchise, you motherfucker…
Starfield was bought once it had a shape and proof of concept. It was going to be finished with or without M$, they already had funding. And if M$ hadn’t done that, then we’d still be looking forward to Hellblade 2 in 2024 as the first good AAA to grace “the worlds strongest console”.
Sony gave Sucker Punch a 6 year budget to make a samurai/ninja game from scratch, and it ended the PS4 era beautifully. And, they do this wit multiple developers that they have a history wi...
@onilink: Sony and Nintendo manage.
And didn’t Halo Infinite cost $500 million?
This is why M$ wants to eliminate exclusives: they are expensive projects with the highest expectations for quality. This makes them inherently risky investments; but apparently riskier for some than others…
Yuuuup, and they think they should be able to buy their way to market leader…
Brilliant strategy: demonize your competitors’ hard work and noblizing your failings with a single wish.

It’s only value destructive if studios still shudder even after using Game Pass as a plan-B.
Otherwise, it’s up to Xbox to curate a library worth at least $10 extra a month, every month.
Like with Starfield…..?
Except Sony actually makes games from scratch, and Starfield was past halfway done when M$ intervened?
Because after the Xbone & Kinect, gamers wanted more games deferred by poorly focused hardware.
They can make it exclusive in 10 years instead…. Either way, the ABK purchase would be THE largest *media* acquisition EVEr.
Idc about RPGs, I skipped Skyrim… so I’d have skipped dragon quest 8, too.
I am fully aware of what I gave up when I chose Xbox:
Sly Cooper
Jak and Daxter
Ratchet and Clank
God of War
MGS3
GTA
Shadow of the Colossus
What I gained with Xbox:
Halo
Every 3rd party game looked noticeably better.
And, I would eventually enjoy:
Halo 2 (still my favorite ...
I wish I enjoyed my XsX as much as you ;)
You’re two gens late, but better late than never.
I like my ps5 library on my ps5.
Returnal is a top 10 of all time for me.
The Dualsense makes Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima worth replaying, even without the performance boost.
PSVR2 has made Gran Turismo 7 my new favorite game, and I’ve always hated racing sims.
Pavlov and R6 with adaptive triggers are a dream for me.
Demons Souls and Ratchet and Clank might be THE best looking games ever...
Good catch.
