Decent PC gaming has gone back to being a pretty expensive endeavor for anything over console performance levels and comparing hardware pricing, consoles will probably come out a little cheaper. That is definitely a good point that I should have mentioned. Both Crypto-currency mining & the pandemic really has changed things. PS - It's not just PC components. I'd be curious to know how many people paid way above MSRP for their PS5's. Edited June 15, 2021 by EverythingOnFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boorish Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I loved The Outer Worlds. It's a shame we won't get to play it on the PS. I was really looking forward to the sequel and Avowed. With Microsoft owing ZeniMax, Bethesda, and Obsidian, they are going to be producing all the best FPRPGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethesda has said that ongoing services, such as ESO, will continue to appear on other platforms. New games will be exclusive to the Xbox family, but seeing as ESO brings in a lot of money through MTs and expansions on other platforms, they're not gonna pull it unless they move to an ESO 2 (which I doubt they would) - similar to Minecraft.

Minecraft is the only Microsoft IP that comes to mind that has to be cross-platform due to the nature of the game. Everything else will be exclusive to Xbox and PC. It's naive to believe in a different outcome. The contracts are only valid for Xbox and/or PC. You cannot just add another platform without negotation with the IP holders. IIRC Minecraft is cross platform because Mojang had already released it for other platforms before the acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Sony would have to cut some kind of deal but you fail to understand it wouldn't have to be much of a deal. I think Microsoft would just be happy to let people sub to gamepass on their playstation. Such a huge market. There's not a chance Sony would want game pass the amount of money they would lose would be insane. They will do just fine with their games, Bethesda hasn't made a good game in like 10 years (except doom) and Halo and Gears of war fell off hard. Sony will have no issues competing.

I can count on 0 hands how many exclusives the new Xbox has right now. Sony is already ahead and they haven't even had their game showcase yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They acquired Obsidian before Outer Worlds was released and honoured the cross-platform release anyway. They also didn’t try and interfere with Ghostwire and Deathloop timed PS5 exclusives for 1 year (although that may have been partially contractual). Saying they "honored" the release is a bit disingenuous. There were previously signed contracts with obvious repercussions if they were broken. When you buy a company you not only buy their properties, but their obligations as well. 19 hours ago, Dan-lives-here said: Yah looks like it's xboxs time to shine. So many games coming out by xbox and little to nothing from Sony. That's a ridiculous take, considering how many games have already been released on Sony consoles and how many remain to be released. There's barely been anything released on Xbox, most of their games are not even close to release date. Edited June 16, 2021 by Iker_01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can agree the last few halo games weren't good at all, but gears 4 and 5 were great. Looking forward to the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own both xbox and playstation systems and they both have their pros and cons. Hard-core playstation fans don't have xbox and probably never will because they stick to one console and only one its a battle of sides watch South park black Friday episode and that's playstation gamers all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tenno777 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Spencer said Microsoft will support legacy games and will support the live service games like ESO. I'm not sure about remasters of legacy games from Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
