Pretty sure Sony still has marketing rights for this and the next 2 cods.

Did they renew it? I haven't seen any ads, thought it ended this year.

Please don't talk to me. You are so feeble that the only time I've had posts deleted here were because you couldn't handle them. I don't want to converse with you, which is why since then I never have.

None of their recent internal studios trailers mention platforms.
I made a post about it yesterday
Blade
Gears Eday
Perfect Dark
State of Decay 3
None of these trailers even list platforms at all at the end of the trailers.
Every trailer posted is directly from Xbox YT.
Here are announcements before to see the difference of how trailers use to end.
Hellblade 2
Indiana Jones
Starfield
The entire Halo presentation doesn't even mention Xbox aside from in the past tense and also says nothing about platforms.
Xbox should just rip the band-aid off at this point, imo.
From Installbase:
Yup if it wasn't for Sony we would have an almost dead console market in Europe.
Switch needs to be replaced by something new so it's justified but Xbox risks to be not viable anymore in many markets.

Europe+Japan the Switch and the PS5 sales are almost neck to neck. Interesting.

For the $1 Ubi wanted for Crew 2 it was a no brainer to add to my library. Just used my credit from selling Steam cards.

We'll get US tomorrow and I imagine there (plus rest of the world) gives PS5 a noticeable lead.

There will be no hardware reset for Xbox. It's done, man.
I fully expect their next devices to be something akin to Windows versions of Steamboxes.

~100 - 150K of difference is not going to be a “noticeable” number for WW numbers, specifically taking into account this is the eight year for the Switch in the market.

Can you imagine if Sony actually could decrease the PS5 price and have it at 400€ all the time?
The fact they still need to have it at 450/550€ and somehow it still sells like this is good...but it could be better.

Xbox dropped by -35% yoy last September....
Sales-Age - GSD European video game and hardware sales for September 2023 - PS5#1 (+175%) NSW#2 (-25%) XBS#3 (-35%) | EA FC 24#1 Starfield#2 MK1#3
Video game sales across Europe were down in September compared with the year before, according to the latest figures from GSD. September 2022 was a five-week month, and as a result the numbers appear down 16% over September 2023. But this year was a four-week month. And so if we compare week 36...www.neogaf.com
So why is Chris trying to make it seem as if it's down 58% due to Starfield launching last year?

Now add america, UK and Germany and PS5 flies past by the Switch with ease.
The only country where Switch is ahead is Japan. (for obvious reasons)

Yeah, it really should be $400/€400 for disk version and $350/€350 for DE/Slim or even lower if at all possible after 4 years on the market.
There would be more PS+ subs and PSN fees to take.

It's an odd comment. I guess his saying last year could have been worse without starfield. But idk about that.

He's hoping you accept that reasoning and don't look into it any further.What does this even mean?

I do wonder if decreasing the PS5 price long-term isn't better for them. More people to have PS Plus subscriptions. They may lose money first but in 3 years wouldn't those costs be recovered? I don't know...i have no idea how it all works lmao

I think they want to take advantage of the GTA6 sales bump before dropping the price.
StereoVsn

Yeah, and they get to take the cut off physical and digital copies, MTX, subs, etc…
Current Sony management though seems laser focused in short term profits.

I think we'll see price drops after GTA VI.
With Xbox drowning quickly, PS5 and PS5 Pro are going to do numbers when GTA VI releases (barring R* doesn't do anything extremely dumb).

Would be smart. They are already in the lead. Xbox has essentially conceded the console wars to them and has started porting games over. There's no need to rush to make money. Wait till GTA6 and even a bit longer after GTA6 then drop the price like 6 - 12 months after.
Tiago Rodrigues

That's true. A pricecut in 2026 that would give PS5 some great last 2 years. I honestly think this year PS5 will sell less units than in 2025 and 2026...but don't quote me on this later. Things are so unstable that we really can't predict anything right now.

Because this massive correction in sales is because September 2023 should have been far worse without Starfield. The trend, even while checking Microsoft's earning calls, is a steady decline in hardware sales that's only offset by some exclusive game here and there and promptly corrected the next year.

Personally I think it’s shortsighted. They need to push even more now. Basically the goal should be to get PS5 into as many hands as they can without going into Red, so basically selling PS5 at very little or no profit.
Otherwise we are going to continue seeing monthly sales decreases.

People can still vote with their wallets. At least there is no cheating there.
They care only about short term profits right now.

I agree. Between GTA VI and an evacuation from the Xbox platform, I think Playstation knows damn well things are going to boom for them in the near future (starting in 2025).
Not to mention, Playstation sees how many dev kits Xbox is ordering from them. Lol.
They know more than anyone the scale this is ramping up right now.

GUYS!.......We really need to start having a real converstation about the future of Xbox and the brand. Are people in the media paying attention? Do they see what's going on?
I'm with you, but it wouldn't make financial sense to do it now.
So they went from selling 100K in September 2022, to 65K in September 2023 (with Starfield), to 26K this September in Europe (not including UK and Germany)? That's nuts!
Again we REALLY REALLY need to start having a real discussion about the viability of the Xbox brand worldwide.
Because it's the smart defensive thing to do at this point. Especially with competitors who are ready to spend them out of business.
If they took great loses on hardware today in hope of recouping years down the line then their competitors can release a console and it might never happen. They would have taken loses needlessly and wouldn't be in a good position to compete on price on their next console. The stickiness of sub services isn't that high, especially compared to previous gens.

Thus, the “unnecessary remaster” ended up being no issue, particularly at $60+, after all!

The deal was still existing till the end of the original contract. Abk, deal didn't change anything from what I understand.
