Yeah the SSD was all marketing, they are both pretty much equal. They are just trying to get some marketing hype behind their game.
Indeed, seems like they are trying to make a controversy to drum up hype for their game.
We already know the PS5 SSD is pure marketing after Nixx was able to make R&C work with a HDD. If these guy are struggling maybe they should give them a tweet instead of trying to invoke console war nonsense.
At this point who doesn't want this deal to happen lol.
I still can't believe this deal will actually go through it really did seem like it was dead when the CMA blocked it but so my unprecedented events seemed to have occurred making the CMA walk back their decision which I don't think have ever happened before.
Only a few more month until Diablo 4 is on Game Pass.
The Xbox momentum is crazy right now.
What's even more crazy is that this showcase didn't even have COD in it, next year will likely be even bigger.
Jim said "I don't want to make a deal I want to block the acquisition". Him signing a deal means he came crawling back or like I said begging.
MS always wanted to keep COD of PS since it would mean Playstation gamers would be funding Xbox Game Studios.
Sony wouldn't remove COD from PS because that would be $800ml a year lost and their player base would die. MS would still be fine though since they are a trillion dollar company and can ...
Good to see Sony finally "bend the knee". They obviously can see the deal closing and likely begged to get some form of contract before it was too late.
To think this whole drama never would have occurred if Sony did this at the beginning.
It will only become a monopoly if Tencent, Playstation, Nintendo, EA, Take 2, SE, etc disappear.
100% Tencent isn't going anywhere so at most it will be a duopoly.
Console sales are not important anymore, revenue is what matters and MS is about to change things drastically.
Which has been happening since the beginning of the gaming industry.
Next week the gaming landscape could be changed forever...
Not a surprise Sony caught lying again.
It's no wonder Phil is seen as the golden child he's the only exec that tells the truth.
Exactly that. Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Megaman, Octopath, KOTOR etc.
This is why MS is buying ABK Sony's dominance is causing too many games to skip Xbox so the only way they can compete is by securing the content permanently.
So the reason MS brought Zenimax was due to Sony trying to steal games.
Sony better be careful with SE deals or MS might go for them next.
I have answered your point over and over you are choosing to ignore it, which is typical.
Keep believing what you want to believe and I will continue talking facts so people don't get confused with your misdirections ok :)
So you have decided to just ignore what I wrote, not surprising.
I will say again Bethesda did not want to release on PS if they did they would have put it in their purchase agreement like Bungie.
That it all there is to say in this discussion. If they didn't want MS choosing where their games released they would have done so like Bungie.
I don't understand why you are struggling to understand these simple facts.
Considering they haven't done any marketing what's so ever it shocking they see any growth.
They really need to do a Kinect budget Game Pass marketing campaign if they want to increase numbers. I see Playstation ads constantly the last time I saw an Xbox ad was for Cyberpunk.
