Those Sony exclusives sell tens of millions or more.
Yes, people are buying Playstations to play not only CoD...but also Spider-Man
It makes a difference
The only Sony exclusives that sold more than 10 million copies this gen (not tens of millions) were Spider-Man 2, `GoW, and Helldivers 2, which was GaaS and 60% of sales came from PC. They also tend to release in quite a long time intervals. Most played games on PlayStation 5, are multiplatform. Stellar blade sold 1m, we last heard (same as latest Sonic remake in day 1), Astro bot so hyped on NeoGaf, sold only 1.5m (0.8% of PlayStation 5 owners jumped on this gem /s), Returnal, rise of ronin, non of these got to that tens of millions you are mentioning. Unless you are adding 3 gens of game sales incl of remakes, remasters etc. Then that numbers might be a bit higher.
Really? Come now. After Phil Spencer decided the best course of action was to spend the competition out of the business, cancelled numerous games, released nothing but trash,low effort and poor quality games for years and killed all sales as well as growth of the system through repeated mismanagement and you dont get why the general attitude is negative?
Xbox is a train wreck, it offers nothing compelling compared to the competition and its been that way for 2 generations now.
Yes, this narrative, Xbox games are trash, or Xbox has no games, it is odd, I am struggling to find time to play. And now port begging from Sony bros is hilarious.
Sony released reskinned spiderman and it is second coming, Astro bot is GOTY even before the release etc. While hellblade w is not a game, flight sim is not a game, indie willl be trash as it is not clone of uncharted, starfield is trash, forza horizon is trash, sea of thieves is the worst game ever (was in top sellers list for some time on PS5 and it is actually most successful rare game to day), pentiment is WTF is that, avowed will be trash meanwhile, basically anything not following Sony formula is trash, some users here were fighting for concord till the last day. It is funny as this argument (about trash) is by some extended to switch releases - comparing Astrobot to Mario, some other games to Zelda - really pathetic.
I think there is overall negativity on this forum (mostly run by blue team) towards anything MS does. People let go of people and close studios - bad MS, Sony doing the same - nothing to watch here.
