it's not a coincidence. MS acquired new studios, they have a service base console, and they've won the cross play debate,
sony is cutting costs, and this is just the beginning..... hope you'll enjoy cross play cause AAA games and services will take a ht because of the loss of revenue they will be predicting for the ps5.
if you don't need to buy the console to play Fornite and other big games why buy one. you can play with your friends, unl...
see, it's already started. Sony will be cutting their budget and also raising prices for services to make up for the future console sale losses because of cross play.
i will remind everyone every time they cut or raise the prices because i know what I'm talking about. i don't care what others say.
welcome to cross play folks.
a perfect game? really?
@KickSpinFilter: sorry to burst your bubble but TLoU2 is rumored to be released next year. tired of trying to explain the ramifications of this move.
you own a restaurant and you sell great burgers. You sell 500 burgers each day and the place is the most popular in town. what would happen if you allowed people to bring burgers from your competitor into your restaurant? if you don't allow them to to bring food in they will be forced to buy your burgers. but once people c...
i see that if you earn 100%, no cross play, and than make a move to where you lose 10% perhaps 20%, after cross play is implemented, you will take a loss in revenue because gamers no longer need to buy the ps4 to play with their friends .
I just can't understand how people can be missing this fact.
why do you think both MS and Sony have resisted doing it. MS didn't do it last gen when they were the leaders in sales, and sony resisted this time.
...
cross play means sony will lose sales because they have now made it possible to not own a ps4 in order to play with your friends, family and a potential 80 million ps4/ps5 users.
It really isn't rocket science, and I'm surprised people don't see it.
Forza? lol k I'll give you that one :)
what i know is this, i have about 5 ps4's in my family/relatives that bought a ps4 because i bought one for my son and myself. one of them sold their xbox so they could buy a ps4 in order to play with friends/family on Fortnite.
I know how business works, simple really, when a group of people buy something, friends and family usually follow in most cases, especially when the person that buys the product is respected. their are probably more people playing fortnite than any other...
Sony just signed the death warrant for PS.
why? because I'm not a sheep like you?
most people that think it's a stupid idea or never really cared didn't comment much because they ddn't think Sony was that stupid.
MS wasn't last gen.
yeah, micro transaction games and the downfall of single player AAA games.
Sony is a joke now.
They just gave potential sales for the ps5 away to MS. SMART MOVE SONY.
People can now buy an Xbox and still play with their friends and family, and when Sony takes a sales loss they will make us pay more in order to please their investors. Either that or they will cut budget costs on their gaming division,
I can also see them going the way MS ...
no, t's because i don't want companies to only make games that are f2p because of the success of Fortnite because it's cheap to make and they can slowly suck your wallet dry. yes yes i know i don't have to buy anything, that's not what the problem is. the problem is we may lose AAA games because of it.
"Money grab? First of all, it is a F2P game."
yes, a money grab. i know someone that's spent $200 at least on this shittt game. it's their choice of course, but please don't tell me it's not a money grab. I would rather spend $60 plus $20 for DLC than to be pinched $3 here and $20 there.
money grab, and i hope this trend doesn't continue or give other companies the idea that f2p is the way to go.

@sprinterboy: you do know I'm being joking right?
This game is just a money grab. tired of hearing about it, and i hope it dies a slow death.
It is, and people are stupid.
I don't get it, the game isn't that great and i for one can't wait until another trend starts.
and MS would have supported full cross play last gen, but they aren't stupid like sony.
Was.... this is a stupid move, and they will regret they ever did it.
There was a reason MS refused to do it last gen, now sony will understand why.
well yeah, they stopped making Uncharted games.
it's just not what i would expect from a game series that basically copies and pasts from one game to the other.
