- next year. You're cheering already! Getting it in the hands of more players, I imagine there's not really much of a downside for you guys.


Andersson: No.


Torvenius: From MachineGames' point of view, we are super thrilled and excited over the fact we will be able to be on PlayStation next year as well. The more people that can play the game - who can see all the passion and love we have put into this project and all the hard work - the merrier.

I mean no way this would be a hit on Xbox thanks to their stupid approach, which incentive their own customers to not buy. At least on PS people gonna be actually buying the game, which is a good thing.

Developer happy game is being released on multiple platforms shocker!

Read more inside your daily copy of StatingTheFuckingObvious News.
 
Of course, more people get a chance to play it. Great news for everyone. Why would you not want others to enjoy a game you like? + These projects are way to expensive nowadays to develop and release on 1 platform.

Is it really that hard to understand for some of these console corporate shills?

They are a bit relieve that PS5 will be there to save their ass after what happened to Tango Gameworks.

Then again, they are going after the non existence "modern audience", and I wonder if being on PS5 will be enough to save them.

Then why wasn't the game announced as a PS5 release?

It's not hard to figure out.

Because this deal was made several years ago, when MS was in a less precarious position and PS5 and XS sales were much closer. The game was announced in January 2021. The next Xbox and PS consoles had come out and were selling out. At the time, few expected Xbox to win the generation, but expected them to be much more competitive now that they owned Bethesda. Nobody expected Xbox to completely shit the bed at that time.

It's also now well known that Disney exclusives require specific sales number that MS could have easily sold as doable at the time of the negotiation.

Again, not hard to figure out.

Xbox porting their games to PS5 is actually bad in long term, since PS will only be competing with Nintendo, and Nintendo doesnt compete with PlayStation directly.

They'll have to budge someday. Hell, Sony even budged with release their games natively on PC, who would've thought that would be a thing.

Nintendo games are currently (and for years now) best played on PC too. The thing that would actually solve their emulation 'problem' (as Nintendo would call it) is to release some of those titles on multiple platforms. More easy revenue for them from people who would never buy a Nintendo console to begin with.

It was completely Microsofts decision to bring it to PlayStation, the absurdity that a trillion dollar company is in a precarious position is laughable 😂 "not hard to figure out" 😅 it seemingly is for you.

34 million gamepass subscribers at 20 a month equals what? What does that come up too? In 2 months that's 1.2 billion dollars. I'm sure Indiana Jones won't make a fraction of that in Playstation sales.

Yes, I'm sure that a) all the current subscribers pay 20 a month, and that b) all of the subscription proceeds go to a single game.

It's amazing how you geniuses think that ALL of that revenue goes into just paying for Indiana Jones.

If you really believe this you you are a truly special level of stupid.

Are you REALLY trying to argue that Xbox is in a healthy position. Xbox is the child of a rich person who is getting cutoff.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows that.

Nintendo makes more money on their walled garden business while letting people emulate on PC than they would have if they just put all those same games on PC. Basically it's the complete destruction of the business model that allows them to walk with 20% operating profit.

Walled garden... apart from their smartphone app output. But that doesn't count of course.

Perhaps they've managed to keep production costs down as they're still targeting 2013 visual fidelity (which I wish more devs would do honestly)

Right, because Super Mario Run is totally cannibalizing sales of Mario Wonder, Odyssey and all the Nintendo Switch systems, controllers and accessories purchased to play it. While also cannibalizing the 30% cut they receive on every indie you buy on the Switch already own only because Mario and Zelda are exclusive titles.

Oh wait I'm sorry, Mario isn't actually exclusive. Mario Run exists. My bad.

I know it's spread out but 1.2 billion in 2 months is alot of money. The narrative that gamepass doesn't make money is ridiculous 7.2 billion in a year is tremendous. Even if you half the numbers its still 3.1 billion a year.

I hope not. There would be no reason to own a Switch 2 if one could play all Nintendo games on a steam deck thru official channels. What you are arguing is that Nintendo will inevitably become a 3rd party publisher. Reminds me of Uncle Phil, didn't he say something like that in the FTC papers? Like Nintendo would see their future is in software or something like that? I really hope not, because Nintendo really innovates with their hardware. ie Steamdeck is a copy of Nintendo Switch.

Also, if Nintendo went 3rd party, imho, they would inevitably reduce their output and lesser selling titles would be first on the chopping block. Bad news all the way around. Let's hope they can keep the dogs at bay a while longer.
 
I don't know why this was a big deal. If the next doom is announced for ps5, one would expect this to be announced at some point.
