day and date is coming.

I think its just logical at this point.
Its literally cash on the table.

The ps5 user base is huge but its not growing beyond the initial base how do you then make it grow and significantly? You go to the platform withe the user base which is PC.

I do think it will be a launcher and they will probably be stubborn about it and then eventually decide to go on steam like Ubisoft Microsoft and EA before them. All of which had launchers sub services and cross saves. Steam is the best service with the best company backing them so they will need to bend the knee just like MS did when they waded into the console market.

Wtf is that

 

[DenchDeckard]

Sonygaf in tatters or we back to not trusting Jizz?

 

[Fabieter]

So we have sony games day one on a steam console, nice!

 

[daninthemix]

It literally doesn't matter to me whether I play something day one or a year later, but there's a lot of ponies it really is going to matter a lot to.

 

[Bernardougf]

Nintendo should do it either .. its just money on the table afterall.

 

[GrayChild]

[Tiago Rodrigues]

It's already obvious by their "cross-buy" tag that Sony will be doing a PC storefront where you will be able to buy their games and play them on console, PC etc...that's their ultimate goal. Have their ecosystem but in all platforms available - Consoles (home and handhelds), PC and Cloud everywhere (mobile, PC, consoles).

 

[Mister Wolf]

If they're smart they will start up their own PC store and stagger the Steam release.

 

[XERXES_89]

So, where the fuck is Demons PC, pathetic bootlicker?

 

[Edmund]

Looks like Jez is high on baked beans again.

 

[Fabieter]

I already hear it "ps ecosystem exclusive"

 

[PauloRoberto]

'Quickly, Steam is stealing the last thing MS sold as a good idea, we must make it as a negative news to Sony'... Good lord, that is SO tiresome...

 

[bitbydeath]

or we back to not trusting Jizz?

When did people start trusting him?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Valve stays winning.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Jez corden doesn't know his head from his own ass cause he's too busy kissing phil spencers ass.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

I have only PC and i would love if that's true but.. it would be suicide for Sony gaming division in the long run.

 

[GudOlRub]

While I still doubt this very much, at this point Sony doesn't have to worry about Xbox anymore so it does kinda make sense.
People who prefer PC will buy games on PC, people who prefer to play on consoles will almost certainly get a PS5.

He's a cuck for phil spencer and xbox.

 

[Gabe ♥]

If the steam console is more powerful than the xbox, then its game over for microsoft.

Xbox should release a high end console full integrated with steam.

"cross-buy"

PS5/PS6

 

[salva]

Xbox sacrificed itself to kill Sony exclusives.

 

[yogaflame]

I smell salt and bitterness from him

 

[Sebastian1295]

This dude is the biggest liar of all time. He's posting about how sad it is that people want companies to die when he was writing nonstop articles and tweeting during the Microsoft/Activision hoping sony/playstation would suffer from the deal. Now he wants to act like he's a genuine fan who isn't a fanboy at all and cares about every company. Stfu.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

This would make sense if shareholders are stopping any subsidy for ps6. Likely its gonna be expensive as well.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

If they're smart they will start up their own PC store and stagger the Steam release.

And it will probably go just as well as when Epic did it.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

PS5/PS6

Cross buy wouldn't make sense for PS5/PS6 and it wouldn't be a tag added in 2025 for a console that's releasing in 2 or 3 years time. We didn't have that tag for PS4/PS5 crossgen titles as well. Makes no sense to even use it for the same platform.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Bollocks.

 

[RoboFu]

I would love Sony fully on PC. It wouldn't hurt Sony, only fanboy feelings.

 

[Mister Wolf]

And it will probably go just as well as when Epic did it.

Wolverine, Spiderman, and Xmen aren't some mid tier IPs like Control and Alan Wake. Alan Wake honestly isn't even a mid tier IP.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Jez is now acting like the steam machine is a console in defense of Microsoft/Xbox going third party. This guy is such a simp and just kisses microsoft/xbox ass every chance he gets.

I have Crossbuy games between PS3 and PS4, as well as a PS Vita.

I mean that tag. Thre's crossgen titles sure...but using "cross buy" to talk about games for the same platform and different generations isn't something Sony does. At most it could be for their homeconsole and portable...but not PS5 to PS6.

It makes absolutely no sense for Sony to allow cross-buy between PC and PlayStation for its games.

It loses a potential double sale; the customer buys it at launch on PS5 and then, when it's released, on PC.

It encourages platform switching; the person buys it on PlayStation and gets a PC version so they can migrate whenever they want.

 

[Games Bookstore]

If true great idea. Day 1 on PC and console definitely didn't play any role in the decline of the Xbox brand

 

[ClosBSAS]

Sonygaf in tatters or we back to not trusting Jizz?

U should see iconera whenever shit like this is said haha. They are going nuts over the horizon mobile game not being on ps

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Did you post the wrong link? That is a reddit post that has no afiliation with Playstation itself.

 

[Lunnarre]

Sonygaf in tatters or we back to not trusting Jizz?

When did we start? You telling us you trust anything this retard says?

 

[dragonyeuw]

If the PS5/PC crossbuy thing comes to fruition, that seems inevitable? I mean if I buy, say, Spiderman 3 on PS6 would I then have to wait X amount of time until the PC release to claim the PC version, or wouldn't it logically come out day and date on both platforms so I can 'cross-buy' both at the same time. I'm curious as to whether Sony retroactively applies cross buy to their existing PC releases assuming they're doing their own launcher.

 

[TrebleShot]

People trust this Jezebel when its negative xbocts news but not when its Sony, interesting and retarded at the same time.

 

[Senua]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Cool. I'll happily sell my ps5 and be exclusively PC and Nintendo.

 

[Signalis]

Remind me why are members still posting thread that has anything to do with Jez?

 

[Pedro Motta]

GAF continues to give a stage to this fat piece of lard, and I have no idea why.

 

[Viruz]

Let it go

 

[Mownoc]

Jez didn't even know what was happening with Xbox multiplatform. How would he know what would happen with PS?

You might as well be posting his sports predictions. He doesn't have a source he's just saying what he thinks will happen, and he has a terrible track record at that.

 

[daninthemix]

U should see iconera whenever shit like this is said haha. They are going nuts over the horizon mobile game not being on ps

That place is truly a cesspool of frothing fan boys. I can't bear to look.

Wise words, he should tell the guy who wrote this last week

https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/playstation-forced-microsoft-to-give-up-xboxs-exclusives-now-its-ready-to-beat-xbox-at-cloud-gaming-and-pc-cross-buy-as-well

 

[BennyBlanco]

He's just speculating but he's probably right. They want a piece of the pie in China which is now an enormous market and nobody plays on console there. Customer acquisition cost to get ps5 meaningfully popular there are too much. Look forward to their launcher flopping.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Its great that Valve literally didnt do anything but be more pro consumer and its all finally paying off.

These console manufacturers are all bending the knee and releasing their games on Steam and Steam just sat there laughing.

It wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing some form of salty people that try and start a campaign against Lord Gaben!
