Microsoft seemingly releasing everything in Spring on PlayStation; store saturation?

There will be an initial burst during the release window as there is with any new release (see death stranding's release window on Xbox as an example), but after that period is over they will fall in to obscurity as they have done on every other platform they've released on.

I also wasn't referring to COD in my reply to you, thought that was clear enough in the fact that I was specific in what I quoted and highlighted.

Allow be to also break this nugget out and address it separately:




Halo and gears are available on PC, but yet far more people are playing Helldivers 2. Playstation also has all of the 3rd party GAAS shooters available on the platform that are popular everywhere, Halo and Gears will also be competing with those for time.

The fact that you suddenly think GT doesn't exist is laughable. You need to get over the fact that the current day stature of these titles is a contributory factor in why Xbox is where it is today.

PC gamers are not PS gamers. Also GT is nowhere to be seen I the top 15 games played on PS…. FH5 has more chance of penetrating that top tan because it simply has a broader appeal than a sim. It didn’t matter if halo is not in the PC top 15. Helldivers era is not in the PS5 too 15. The fact that these games are not even registering with Sonys own da base has nothing to do with the impact of MS games on this charts when they arrive but we shall see soon enough, eh?



As for your last sentence…..there’s nothing to ‘ get over’ …… you really think k I’m shedding tears for the 3 Trillion dollar tech giant? Maybe you just a lil too conditioned to console warring more than you care to admit.


Question…… do you go at my think any of this effects my gaming time or gaming habits? Honest question…

Might want to step out of that fictional world you're currently living in:

What you will also find is that list contains many of the games that are most played on PC for the year, particularly the GAAS games.

Well you're the one currently having a delusional meltdown of epic proportions, nobody else, so maybe you ought to ask yourself that question.

cute….. I don’t wanna be that guy but let’s look at MS overall profits if that’s what we are doing then…..


I mean….. I said what I said but never realised we gonna be comparing profits sheets….. but let’s pull up MS one and see who is making more money, then? I mean…. If that’s what we are doing now…..

Just weird that you are saying Sony is nothing but PlayStation and that you are aware of the other segments. Those statements don't jive.


I said they went from being a tech giant to becoming just the PlayStation company. I never said they nothing but a PlayStation. Company….. just saying they sure as shit are on their way there…… what division makes most of their now y these days again?

The quarterly statement I provided shows you that they make most of their money from outside of playstation.

Instead of being able to realise that you took that as an indication to start some dick measuring contest with Microsoft. And you want to call other people fanboys? Really?

The point of that is obviously to show the different segments, not how much money Sony makes.

That's bullshit hyperbole and if you knew about the other segments then you would know that. Based on your logic, Microsoft isn't in the gaming business at all.

Who said Sony made more money than Microsoft? Nobody has made that claim. The argument is that Sony are not just a "PlayStation company".

I said they went from being a tech giant to becoming just the PlayStation company. I never said they nothing but a PlayStation. Company….. just saying they sure as shit are on their way there…… what division makes most of their now y these days again?

Just because PlayStation is their biggest asset doesn't mean they're just the PlayStation company.

It’s like watching a malfunctioning robot walk into poles as it continues to attempt to remain relevant, spitting out gibberish that worsens with each impact.

Yet you continue to quote, say “here we go”, etc, etc.

You are the embodiment of a meltdown, can’t post without “……..” (as the best example), and now claim “I ShOuLd JuSt iGnOrE you”.

Is that supposed to make me turn into a belligerent drunken sailor like you?

Cool…. your just a bitch that types brave on the net from behind the safety of ya avatar. Anything else? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Then why did you want to post Microsoft financial data 🤔 what would that prove?

Point is, Sony are not just a PlayStation company. That was the argument.

Sony gets 30% clean, the 70% had to cover R&D, Development, Marketing, distribution...
Yeah it's like arguing who does it benefit more when Sony releases certain games on switch. It's free money for Nintendo. Sony had to do the hard work to make the game. It's why your own games doing well on your own platform is so important.
 
Ahh yes, as many predicted, this is the proverbial chickens coming home to roost. It was a bold strategy in the beginning, gobble up all available IP using your bottomless war chest, swell your user base by billions, compete with Google, Amazon, Etc. They were so focused on trying to "SEGA" PlayStation that they "SEGA'D" themselves.

At least they have the IP to show for it, now, they are pivoting (Probably at the direction of the CEO of MS & Shareholders).

Its fine. The high profile ones will get the bulk of the sales. Its a wide enough range where it won't matter.

MS might also be doing this to get the devs familiar with working on a PS5 console. In a couple of years day one should be the norm. Also....MS gotta get that revenue up quick.

The "its only these 4" folks must be having a rough month.

Also, I haven't seen a meltdown this glorious in a long time. Thank you RickMasters.

Always arrogant
I can even imagine an MS employee presenting a PPT written like this:

"We created Forza, there's no way it loses to GT"

Same as "We created the DX, there's no way Sony could have made a more powerful console (PS4 x Xbox)"

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡


MS is that stupid rich playboy that everyone laughs at behind his back because if he laughs in front of him he has a hysterical attack and takes his daddy's money to get revenge "I'm going to ask daddy for money and bankrupt you"

For MS and Xbox right now, it is more important and priority to port the games to PS5 and Switch 2 as quickly as possible and start making more money than their own console. If PS5 already accounts for 64% of their income from game sales...in a few months with Switch 2 it will be 80% or more.

When did Halo get announced for PS anyway ?

is the OP making list from his own dreams or did I miss something?

or are we just holding rumors as facts now ? I am confused

It is still just a rumor, but so was Indiana Jones to PS5. Just a matter of time before it is announced. So speculative, but still worth the discussion.

I mean..Forza Horizon 5 just got announced for PS5. It is one of the orig big 3 that some said would be the sign that everything's coming. And some said would never come.

Or are we gonna pretend Forza coming to PS5 isn't megaton worthy.
 
I’m a bit puzzled by this. We’ve never seen such a high number of major IPs flooding the market in such a short time. What’s especially unusual is that Microsoft’s goal—to expand their audience and maximise revenue—could actually backfire with this approach.

Most players won’t buy Age of Empires, Halo, Indiana Jones, Doom, and Forza all at once; there’s simply not enough time to play them, so they won’t pay full price upfront. On top of that, releasing everything so close together could split the PlayStation userbase, making it harder for these games to build a strong community.

How can any of this work if all these games are launching at the same time?
Different demographics. Also many msft games are gaas/mtx.
