You're fighting a fight that not even Microsoft is willing to fight. Xbox has admitted that many of Sony's exclusives are better.
"Sony publishes iconic first-party franchises, such as God of War, The Last of Us, Marvel’s SpiderMan, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Days Gone, as well as the recently acquired Destiny 2, and has minority shareholdings in Epic Games, the publisher of Fortnite and From Software, the ...
You do know it doesn't run on PS4? The PS4 copy of the base game serves as verification, so PS4 owners can upgrade to and play the PS5 version of the base game. After upgrading to the PS5 version, they'll be able to add and play the DLC. You did know this, right? It seems like you didn't.
For real.
IGN is not taking the ABK news well. At all.
All these years later, you are still the most underrated commenter on N4G.
Microsoft agrees. They kindly paid $3 billion to tell us that.
"I'd look more at the likes of ge force now and smaller streaming providers the CMA ruling was essentially if ms takes Activision then those smaller companies will struggle to compete."
The CMA decision literally lists Sony as an emerging rival in the cloud market.
"We are concerned that making Activision’s titles exclusive to Microsoft’s cloud gaming service would harm competition, particularly since our view is that Microsoft already...
That's incorrect. Playstation exists in both markets, console and cloud. Jim Ryan just made a lot of people look like fools who fell for the MS propaganda and crowed about how he should have accepted a deal for COD that would have helped MS make their case to the CMA.
That appeal was won on a procedural technicality.
"Per Reuters, Apple successfully argued the regulator had “no power” to investigate its position in the mobile browser market. The company said the CMA should have opened the probe at the same time it first published its report on mobile ecosystems last June. The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), the court that oversees CMA cases, agreed with Apple, saying the regulator gave notice of its investigation too late."...
I got it, but have you all read some of the comments on N4G?
You don't have to go far. There are comments on this article that are in the same realm.
I absolutely saw it coming, but I know how to not run my mouth, unlike some of the half-baked prognosticators who spoke with a false sense of authority like they knew what they were talking about when they were really just waving the pom-poms for their favorite team. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who paid attention. The CMA issued their preliminary findings, at which time they gave their reasons for why they were likely to oppose the deal. The effect on the console market was onl...
The thought of Xbox spending billions to tell the world Playstation has the better exclusives is hilarious.
Right? It's not like someone needs to play the game or the console it's on to review bomb it.
"Despite all the actual legit troll comments being removed the user score was still low so it’s not like they changed anything, it went up but not much so clearly they weren’t all against guidelines, people had legit issues."
All the actual legit troll comments? You mean people dumb enough to state they're giving the game a zero for bigoted reasons?
I've run the numbers on this before, but you can go on Metacritic and see the number of J...
"This is also the part where people don't understand and need to remove the lens of traditional purchases, putting a game on gamepass is not a free endeavour made out of the goodwill of the developers. They are paid to do so."
Agreed, but Godmars290's comment didn't imply devs aren't getting paid to be on Game Pass.
"In terms of the first party, they are paid based on how many people have reached. if it has reach Million of...
"One thing I did find interesting, is how they are singling out PC Gamepass in this article."
The article is loaded with so many caveats in an attempt to find an outlier.
"This is quite interesting for sure, although it should be noted that this applies to EVERSPACE 2, and might not be reflective of game sales in general. Also, EVERSPACE is currently only available on PC, and the stats shared were from the game's Early-access period.&qu...
Yes, they have. People will try to argue otherwise despite that.
Since 360. People give them a pass at the end of a gen because they want to believe Xbox is holding back to release a bunch of bangers for the next gen's launch.
"What´s so hard about make trailers which the games are running on an actual Xbox Series x console? It would help them to promote its more powerful console while giving us more transparency."
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest they may feel that transparency would not help them to promote the power of their console.

The best part is they're going to read your comment and think you're talking about my sarcasm.
