These people are stupid. No wonder Hermen The Surfer was their boss. Believing Horizon may become something like Assassins Creed is beyond retard.
The first Horizon got to over 20M copies sold and was probably the most successful new IP of the PS4 gen.These people are stupid. No wonder Hermen The Surfer was their boss. Believing Horizon may become something like Assassins Creed is beyond retard.
Release Astrobot on PC so Sony can reach more playerLOL, reach more people, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the only reason, why wrap it up in disnegenuous statments?
Releasing God of War and Ratchet on Xbox would reach more people too......
What % of that 25 million doesn't own a PC or PS5? I bet it's less than 50%, honestly. Not to mention how many never buy games and just play on gamepass? It becomes a lot smaller than the 25milI wouldn't be surprised if Helldivers eventually came to Xbox. You're still looking at 25+ million people you could potentially sell to here.
Sony will know exactly how many Destiny 2 players are on Xbox for example. They have enough data to see if it is worth putting the game there. If there is an argument for it, they will, if not, they won't.
And it's interesting that Lego Horizon Adventure was built multiplatform in mind, but Astrobot was built for the Dual Sense. It'll be difficult to port to Switch without changes to the gameplay, but it potentially could have sold more on Switch than PS5.
If games would have sold on Xbox this generation PlayStation would already be selling games on Xbox
You have to buy a dev kit, then get harassed about it not being on Gamepass for a while. Makes people uneasy.What’s the point of skipping Xbox though? I don’t get that at all
This is just BS PR. Don't beleive what they said here.Sounds a lot like ms rhetoric.
These guys don’t realize that exclusives are the reason they get to spend $200 million on games.

Release Astrobot on PC so Sony can reach more player
And if that doesn't work to convert a PC gamer to PS5, release Astrobot 2 in the future and that will work to convert PC gamers to buy a PS6. And if that doesn't work, Astrobot 3 to covert them to buy PS7.Absolutely, it'll just help them sell the sequel.
Do you really think someone's going to buy a PS5 and mainline Horizon game based on the strength of a Lego spinoff on Switch? I suppose it's possible but If they do they're probably going to be somewhat disappointed at how little comic relief there is in mainline Horizon games. Two completely different vibes.Exactly as i said, get the family friendly audience into Horizon Lego and then release the third game and they'll want a ps5 to play it.
Let's be honest

When your "enemy" is slowly destroying themselves, why start throwing them lifelines? I mean, the Xbox brand is basically using PS5 as a lifeline themselves. Which Sony doesn't care about because they are making free money off of it, and it looks embarrassing on Xbox's part. But, they sure as hell aren't going to throw any personal lifelines over to them.What’s the point of skipping Xbox though? I don’t get that at all
You might think so but we are moving towards the digital locker era and at some point it's not going to matter what device you're playing on as long as you own the license.That's about the silliest thing said around here in a long time.

Sony is now in a partnership with Lego and both see this Lego game to be a perfect experiment releasing on the Switch, something they are obviously not directly competing with. We can see that by both the Switch and the PS4/5 both selling perfectly fine with the other on the market. Nintendo currently has the handheld market on lock, while Sony has the home console market.
They already have MLB on Xbox.
Why would Sony go with that approach? They have seen their biggest success in home consoles. This being their highest profitable gen ever. They will more than likely stick with home consoles, but have an upgraded PS Portal.Nintendo has always been a competitor. More indirect in recent years, but they could become a much more direct competitor if Sony goes the handheld/console approach for PS6.
I just don't see the harm in adding a side game to Xbox. They already have MLB on Xbox. It's not like a Horizon Lego game is some tentpole title of theirs.
And ugly on switch as wellSwitch players will quickly realize "Wow, this series is boring as fuck!"
Lego is the little brother, smaller and poorer but great to hang around with, always positive vibes. Microsoft is the bastard neighbor rich kid nobody likes.What’s the point of skipping Xbox though? I don’t get that at all

Right now you have to put too much effort into making a Xbox Port compared to the return so yes Xbox not selling software is keeping Sony from releasing games on Xbox. Helldivers 2 would must definitely be on Xbox right now if it was worth the effort & I wouldn't Rule it out even now.
If the next Xbox comes out & software is selling or Subscription numbers are going up enough to support game development Sony would send games that way.
Games like Helldivers 2 are meant to reach the players where they already play it's not really a game that's going to sell PS5 .If PlayStation does that then that means something has went horribly wrong with them and their brand. Helldivers 2 should never be on an Xbox system.

If Xbox had better software and was selling more hardware, absolute zero chance Sony exclusive games would be on xbox. They would hold them to ps5 only to drive ps5 sales.
The only way Sony will ever put Sony exclusives on xbox is if they no longer them as a threat or they drop out of hardware.
I'm not talking about games like God Of War I'm talking about games like this Lego game & stuff like Helldivers 2 & Concord
Yep Switch allows them to hit a demographic that both Playstation and Xbox struggle in comparison. If they could have got to translate to mobile they would.They just want more eyes on the franchise. They probably want Horizon to be their kid/teen-friendly TLoU, and tie Horizon TV series and films into the mix.

It won't expand the available market significantly, bad for PR, and Xbox owners have been conditioned not to buy games.What’s the point of skipping Xbox though? I don’t get that at all

Playstation is 100% in competition with Nintendo as Nintendo is with Playstation. Both were in direct competition with Xbox as well, before MS ran away with its tail between its legs after failing for a decade.
They're not. Even saying this is ridiculous. LolPeople joke about #SonyToo but they literally are going the same route as MS. They are just dragging their heals on it.
Stop it. Xbox and PC are not the same.But it's on PC.
I dunno….I’d even say the same thing about helldivers 2. Live service games should be on everything if these guys are talking about making as much money from as many customers as possible.What’s the point of skipping Xbox though? I don’t get that at all
let's seeThey're not. Even saying this is ridiculous. Lol
Art hands survives any trolling threads. He’s a GAF trademark. I like it. I always snort laugh with his threads.Two arthands concern troll threads in one day! Let's see if this one gets locked too.
Obviously, you're releasing on Xbox this year. Can you elaborate a little more on the decision to do that?
We just wanted to bring baseball to more people. Major League Baseball, the Player's Association, and Xbox have been great partners, and we're really happy to be bringing baseball to Xbox fans this year.
