Seems they are already pre-emptively adopting MS's misleading numbers lol.
'I told you, Xbox already have it, they don´t need PS5´s 30million playerbase, dude.'
Sure, they may not 'need' that revenue stream when they are bankrolled by windows money since their games don't sell as shown by recent MS comments, guess you'll agree that SE and Capcom don't need the Xbox revenue stream then since it accounts for so little.
'Bethesda games will be available on Xbox Series consoles, PC, Gamepass...
Yep, now wait for those lacking braincells to act like a handful of 3rd party timed exclusives is somehow equivalent to this.
Eh lets face it, you calling anyone a fanboy is pot kettle.
Nah, according to the usual suspects here, Gamepass subscribers buy 10 extra copies of games on gamepass because reasons, so I think they're good.
Yeah, sure, guess there's no issue keeping all Activision consoles games multiplatform then is there Phil :)
What makes the author think Nintendo wants or needs gamepass? Nintendo can still get people to adopt games without giving them for peanuts, and why would it need to compete with the steam deck? The switch is massively more popular and has been a sales behemoth the last few years in particular.
Please explain how Sony have a monopoly on gaming lmao? They have more market share from doing a great job with what they have, not exclusively down to a handful of 3rd party deals, which MS still do plenty of btw.
MS have been playing the victim this whole time acting like a tiny 2 trillion company that must be allowed to do what it wants for 'competition', they are the ones aiming for a monopoly with crazy acquisitions like this, not Sony.
A handful of 3rd party exclusives isn't really the same as what MS are trying to do though is it.
@cool have any evidence to support that silly claim? Take off the tinfoil hat lol.
In fairness the jrpg playerbase has excelled on PS in since the 90s with the likes of FF7-9 and has always massively dwarfed the fanbase on Xbox, the brand is just more heavily associated with it.
At least that makes more logical sense, unlike another companies 3rd party strategy which is to act like a tiny corporation who can't compete unless they can buy every 3rd party publisher in the industry.
I'm sure that's what you do with your Xbox each night
Nah, Bethesda are with MS now so all we'll get are obscure, misleading stats instead.
The youtube copyright system is broken and all these big companies take advantage of it and throw their weight around.
This just looks meh to me. Very co-op focussed and the gameplay just doesn't look that engaging, looks a bit generic, disappointing after the excellent arkham series games.
Thought this deal wasn't about CoD?
@onisama.
Because again, it's a false equivalency. I do not condone 3rd party timed exclusivity for the likes of FF7, FF16 and a handful of others.
You said it yourself, Sony doing the same but not spending 70 billion, these are not one and the same, what MS are trying to do is leagues and bounds beyond this, permanent ownership and monopoly of many longstanding, multiplatform IPs that were always coming to Xbox anyway.
I'm not ...
Onisama, It's a false equivalency, MS have done some of the supposedly massively anticonsumer things you've stated which you're obviously massively overblowing as some huge deal when it obviously isn't, but it's fine because MS didn't do it first?
MS have raised prices and let go staff go from Xbox, Including Bethesda while dangling this 70 billion acquisition over them, it's just really poor. I do not justify game price increases and such, but t...
So according to this guy Nintendo has no market share in Europe or Japan, usual lies from MS continue lmao
Except you're one of the furthest from being a 'neutral gamer' constantly spouting false equivalences lol
My biggest issue with most open world games these days is they feel like big grindy checklists, filled with the same repetitive side quests and activities or 100s of useless collectibles, they begin to feel like a slog.
Give me a well made, more linear game any day of the week, maybe something that kind of blurs the lines between both like the recent GoW games, open but still more or less linear.
