Thinking Spider-Man or they might start with Wolverine
I'd probably buy the next 10 PS games that hit Xbox just to support it, and I'd hope other Xbox owners do too.
In relation to Xbox, based on what data? Lol"These games barely sell on Xbox" What games? You mean the ones that aren't on there?
And you are a complete fool if you think a global icon like spidey won't sell. It would sell AT LEAST 3 - 5 mill before year ends
Yeah, this decision is truly puzzling. What Sony has to be trying is to snatch those 15 to 20 million Xbox users to PlayStation and they should be investing billions on making the PS Store as good if not better than steam.Games barely sell on the Xbox, so why is Sony even bothering? Data/pass history says this makes no sense(if true). This goes for Helldiver's 2 as well.
They do not need to "snatch" anything Xbox players have been moving over to either PC or PlayStation since the Xbox series S/X's decline. Especially with Xbox games coming to PlayStation and selling 1.5 million units.Yeah, this decision is truly puzzling.

Spiderman 2 couldnt even do 3-5 mil on Steam yet somehow you think a less than 30m platform is going to sell that much?"These games barely sell on Xbox" What games? You mean the ones that aren't on there?

I didn't say need. but trying. like making bundles/marketing actual Xbox Studios games.They do not need to "snatch" anything Xbox players have been moving over to either PC or PlayStation since the Xbox series S/X's decline. Especially with Xbox games coming to PlayStation and selling 1.5 million units.
Not only on Xbox, but also on Steam, we've seen a decrease in interest for Sony games. What's next for Sony in their chase for the most effective return on investment? Day-one releases.Wasting resources on ports and hoping and praying that Xbox players will suddenly see the light and start buying games as a reasonable rate is foolish but what do I know huh. Data and history seems to mean nothing, come August when Helldivers 2 launches we will see.
Why though? Xbox is a dead platform for software. Not worth the paltry amount it will sell.Ohhh, that makes sense then.
They can start with Miles Morales and Marvel's Spiderman.
Holy fanboy cringeHope Sony corp is ready - just the rumors of this happening will close a lot of wallets...
If they don't or won't get in front of it, they're Xbox 2 or Sega 3.
There are few million users on any platform that don't buy another system for a couple of games, the games could sell a couple of millions more across Switch 2 and Xbox Series.Why though? Xbox is a dead platform for software. Not worth the paltry amount it will sell.
it's sorta funny that Sony is wasting its time with xbox ports given the next xbox will likely be a pc hybird/have Steam, meaning it can already play the PC port version
this is why games being ported to PC are basically already being ported to xbox. most people think the next xbox is a hybrid console anyways
I have no idea what Sony is doing
I haven't been following what they've beens sayingMakes more sense if next gen Xbox really is a console likeHeisenbergFX4 and K KeplerL2 have been saying thought, don't it?
GaaS games onry, i don't see them porting their 5+m sellers to a platform that barely buys games.
I haven't been following what they've beens saying
are they arguing it will just be a traditional console like the xsx?
it isn't immediately clear to me if MS even knows what they're doing next gen, so who knows
reading the tea leaves, I do think MS will definitely be the first to go console/hybrid route
dunno if it will be next gen via their main console or even how many SKUs they will have next gen
yup! fwiw I've pretty much held off on investing further in my xsx beyond gamepass as I don't have a ton of confidence that they know what they're doingYeah, they have been pretty adamant about it. Time will tell
It will make more sense pretty soonWhy though? Xbox is a dead platform for software. Not worth the paltry amount it will sell.
oh sweet child...they are going to focus on their own hardware and scale back their ports when it comes to PC.
They don't even buy games on their own system.There are few million users on any platform that don't buy another system for a couple of games, the games could sell a couple of millions more across Switch 2 and Xbox Series.
Sony is utilizing a strategy based on what they know about Xboxs future? Because right now it just looks like they're chasimg Xbox to the bottom. PS6 is not even going to sell at $600-800 with no defining software.It will make more sense pretty soon
That's another thing. GAAS slop doesn't really make sense for the Switch so what are their plans for that?
well that's because they're likely not going to be picky. that is just some narrative a select few on this forum are pushing as a cope.Yeah, smaller scale games like that make more sense but the 2.5D GoW hasn't even been announced yet.
Gravity Rush would make a lot of sense. I see Sony dumping that on Bandai Namco though.
Just seems kinda pointless if they plan to be picky about what they port. Pickings are pretty slim outside of the major stuff like Horizon and Uncharted.
Yeah you're probably right. Still hard for me to believe.well that's because they're likely not going to be picky. that is just some narrative a select few on this forum are pushing as a cope.
They are coping hard but not as silly as people saying Sony are Apple and this will be great for them. They will lose console sells with PS6 and end up selling the same software.well that's because they're likely not going to be picky. that is just some narrative a select few on this forum are pushing as a cope.
Flight Simulator is super niche. No chance they're porting that to PS5.People are want that job listing to include AAA singleplayer games so bad, but its not going to happen. People are just letting their imaginations run wild over what Sony said when they reiterated that they are going to focus on their own hardware and scale back their ports when it comes to PC.
Be happy yall got Helldivers 2. If anything, expect more live service games, which were already planned for more platforms in the past. In the mean time, Microsofts needs to hurry up with that port of Flight Simulator. Valve need to go ahead and port that Half Life Alyx to PSVR2, Nintendo need to go and get their heads checked for charging $80 for last gen games.
Lose console sales to who? You think people that care about Naughty Dog are going to settle for a late, inferior port on Switch? No chance.They are coping hard but not as silly as people saying Sony are Apple and this will be great for them. They will lose console sells with PS6 and end up selling the same software.
This threads always amuse me. People dreaming of God of War but in reality they will (not) play Marathon instead.More info here.

I can't imagine it'll be anything beyond live service games like we are seeing with Helldivers 2 and Marathon. Sony seems content with licensing unused IP (Patapon/Everybody's Golf) to publishers, otherwise.xcancel.com

Basically what the guy said btw.I can also confirm that multiple upcoming PS games will be coming to XBox.
MLB The Show '26
MLB The Show '27
MLB The Show '28
MLB The Show '29
MLB The Show '30
I'd probably buy the next 10 PS games that hit Xbox just to support it, and I'd hope other Xbox owners do too.
I bought Death Stranding: Director's Cut the day it dropped on Xbox and I've already pre-ordered Helldivers. Skipped MLB because it was on Game Pass and I didn't love it when I tried it.
I'd be ecstatic to get Spider-Man or Astro. Even better if they rerelease older stuff like Tokyo Jungle, InFamous or LittleBigPlanet
Try and try until you succeed, until Sony are annoyed, pressured and threaten.Sadie up Sony ponies and write another letter.
Nintendo is laughing. Nintendo is printing money by continues support for full exclusives and care for there fanbase and console owners. While Sony is just plain stupid to fallen to xbox trap and risk console sales and losing big fanbase. Funny thing is Sony will port games on the losing side which throughout history PS exclusives ports to xbox does not sell big. Xbox lost the war in console sales and most xbox gamers are trained not to buy games but rely heavily on gamepass. Its like xbox is saying if they are going down, they will also drag others down and the stupid victim is Sony while Nintendo is wise not to fall to xbox trap of abandoning full exclusivity.When are some of you going to figure out that these companies only care about one thing and that's making money.
Sony and Microsoft aren't worried about some console war like people are here, that time has long passed. Neither is going anywhere unless they want to bow out.
So you think Switch would have sold as much if BOTW and Mario got ported to PS4 a year later?Lose console sales to who? You think people that care about Naughty Dog are going to settle for a late, inferior port on Switch? No chance.
If this ends up happening, I will check out all these youtubers who post one video after the other bashing Xbox for porting their games to ps. Popcorn time
People can pirate BotW on PC for free and Switch is about to outsell the PS2, so yes.So you think Switch would have sold as much if BOTW and Mario got ported to PS4 a year later?
