EXCLUSIVE | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5

No it doesn’t. Console gamers are NOT pC gamers…. Tho the Xbox crowd might be about to prove that wrong.
exactly. Console gamers ain't paying 800+ dollars for a GPU.


I can’t bring myself to buy a PS. It’s not even because of Sony. I think they are a wonderful company. It’s the insuffarable PlayStation fanboy. They have always been a nasty breed and now they get the last laugh. I just can’t bring myself to own one because I don’t want to join them 🤣🤣🤣….. steam….. I guess I’m going all in with you and Gabes posse. At least l can still use my Xbox relics ( the controller)
if your enjoyment of something is tied to its community ....your need therapy

Still a 7/10 game, but it's appreciated. If they have their own box, with day 1 releases still. If they then release on ps5 after 3-6 months, will that be enough profits and sales. They could technically have the best of both worlds here.

I really think they might go a Steambox route or 3D0 model with different manufacturers. But unlike 3D0, Microsoft would have gamepass and PS5/PC/Switch sales to offset manufactoring costs. Interesting approach.

Hardly. I dont like Chelsea fans…. Doesn’t mean I need therapy. Nor does it mean I should stop watching football. I just don’t like smug attitudes, is all. Your idea of what qualifies as needing therapy tells me you should probably engage with people in real life more….. there are people that really need therapy for real shit in life did you know that? Are you aware that fans being cunts is just par for course? Doesn’t mean I “need therapy for pointing that out. Get in thouch with real life mate. This is all just games and big companies doing the do. It’s not that serious. As I said… I just always found them off putting…. The irony here is you are probably one of the first people to call somebody with an Xbox a green rat or some other derogatory term….. bro…. I’m not the one that need therapy…..



And maybe you didn’t realise but Sony is not the only option for gaming? So no…. My enjoyment of games is not tied to that community…. What a dumb statement….

I don’t care about Xbox games being on PlayStation what I’m concerned about is my vast digital Xbox library becoming obsolete.
Yeah that’s kind of my concern at the moment. I want some way to migrate it all to PC and I just decide what hardware I want to play those games from ok there. One things for sure…. I don’t see the point in Xbox anymore and I think ME needs to stop beating about the bush.

projection much?

In the real world someone buys/contracts a service based in the quality of the product/services.(ideally)

is like saying. i don't contract that ISP because it's fans and advertising are so annoying. that's a very dumb excuse.

Except consoles have always had an element of brand loyalty and separate opposing communities about them… much like sport teams… about them. Stop being dumb….



Besides…. Last time I checked so can play everything I want On PC and am no stranger to building them, personally. I lose nothing.

Yep. This news, IF TRUE, will simply mean more revenue coming in for Microsoft. They’re a multi trillion dollar company; they’re not really losing much of anything if they do this. I liken it to Sony releasing their games as exclusives first, then slowly but surely porting them to PC.

Well, remember that Sony will take a 30% cut of that revenue, so it's a big boost for Sony as well. They are also killing incentive to buy an Xbox, which is necessary to feed GP subs. They are reducing incentive to sub to GP as well. So although yes, they are going to make more money, they are also feeding the competition money, and, at the same time, undermining their console and GP sales. Rumors suggest there was serious disagreement amongst the higher-ups about this shift, and I'm not surprised.

for dumb people

for dumb people.

again, if you buy or not buy a console based in fanboy rhetoric.... who is the dumb-dumb, buddy?
What part of ‘ I have options are you not getting? It affects me none…. Why are you so bent up about though? Let me be and choose to play on what I Want. My reasons can be my own and I don’t really need to justify where and why I spend my money…. You are a Weirdo…..

What? The kind where he loses? I guess that makes sense with MS logic tho. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Curious how he loses when his consoles weren’t selling well anyhow but the door is opening to millions of PlayStation users to buy his games and eventually sub to his service that were never going to buy an Xbox anyhow

then you should change your phrasing from this:
Except consoles have always had an element of brand loyalty and separate opposing communities

to this:
Except consoles FOR ME have always had an element of brand loyalty and separate opposing communities
in other words, you are the issue. not other people

He loses they lose the Xbox community. He loses because he slapped a tonne of people who have supported their systems for the last 20 years. But hey… you right… who gives a fuck about the xbox community anyway. fools for wanting anything other than a PlayStation. The jokes on people like me, man! It’s cool tho. 🤷🏾‍♂️…I was a sega fan back in the day. Seen this rides all before. . I can’t lie…. Not gonna be fun for us on this forum or others. Just gonna sign out and play Some games in a bit…. Yeah I know I’m playing on an Xbox… shame on me 😅

So you really think the diehard Xbox community is going to stop gaming? Look at the earlier meltdowns some are already saying how MS will become an even bigger gaming monster. Once it officially happens in due time the diehard green rats will be applauding it in some way, just wait. I know several people that said if PlayStation ever started porting their first party games to PC were done gaming but guess what, they didn’t quit.

What an asinine take…. You gonna blame me for the 16 bit wars between Nintendo and sega next? Get a grip….. this is getting silly now. Brand loyalty has alwaybeen a part of the console space. Get over yourself. Done responding to you after this.

That's your quote bro.

Good then the fake narrative that it’s shit will end and people will realize it has the best gameplay of any MP shooter on the market.
Oh boy it's shit. The buyout of Bethesda back then was a braindead decision and they did it. If it wouldn't have been shit MS /w XBX wouldn't be here.

This is how the world end.
Yeah, all those people waving their flags. What will happen, who will they fight on the internet? And what will the soul harvesting entities feed on from now on if this turns out to be true? : D

Here is the bad thing about this. If MS is seriously going to bow out of the bleeding edge console hardware game, that leaves Sony w/ no competition in the space. Likely means they will not be pushing as hard as they would w/o that competition in place. I hope MS doesnt give up totally on it.
Or they don't have to fight MS and they can finally concentrate on more diverse stuff, instead of mass zombie appealing things. One can hope...

So any chance of gamepass coming to playstation?
Nah. If that happens then MS and Sony ceos were secretly fucking in the bushes. Phil Ryan CEO incoming.

I just wanna say but the Xbone's damage is truly forever. They killed themselves right there.
Gamepass could become a big bad baddie... ... ...

This is how the console war ends?
Sony can finally show what is there to innovate... because, tbh, they didn't change much with the PS5.

If MS is going to go full nuclear, then my money is on EA.
Yeah, FIFA+ other licensed shit would keep the whole gamepass thing afloat.

Exactly what I fear if Xbox stops making consoles and who to turn to if the PS6 is $800
I don’t think 800 will be a thing but 600 will go unchallenged…with no real reason to discount to often. Possibly 100 dollar AAA games too, based on the traditional model of AAA games sell hardware.


And there won’t be any of this “ speak with our wallets” fighting talk…. Because there will be no alternative. You buy a Playstation or a PC. Or a Nintendo if you don’t care about high end graphics.
