Doubt it. By 2024 playstations lead will be. Massive. Spiderman 2 will already have been out and wolverine that year as well. Naughty dogs games would most like ha e already launched as well.
Its just my thought and honestly I 100% hope COD becomes a MS exclusive and goes to Gamepass because when I do play COD its on Xbox with crossplay off so would most likely increase my player pool
But how is that different from Starfield? It too would make Game Pass look like a crazy good deal if Sony gamers have to pay $60-$70. And yet, here we are with Starfield being exclusive to Xbox
That's even more reason for Microsoft to not release it on PS! Playstation's lead right now is massive and yet Starfield is not releasing on PS.
When Sekiro 2 and the next tenchu are excluded from PS or pc or one of the other 5 platforms they would be available on if they were in the deal. But they weren’t. Enjoy your series s!
So you need to move from PS to PC? Hopefully you're PC can keep up! I have a Series X so I will be fine
Whatever. I am not here to preach or convert, I don’t give a fuck. Business sense or not, we have already seen what has happened with zenimax, and we will see again with activision. Microsoft are growing their brand and gamepass, not paying 70bn for exclusive marketing and putting money in Sonys pocket. PlayStation will be fine, but a a lot of people are going to be moving to Xbox for COD.
Yeah man. Everyone just gonna be running in circles with this until next year!Well let's wait and see
I think he's referring to popular IPs being bought and made exclusive by them. Anything Rare is a good example. Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Nuts and bolts, Conker, Killer Instinct etc. Other than that what IP has MS bought and made exclusive to see if it declined or went up? I don't think there are many examples but we have to wait and see some in the future.
Phil's comments are going to be vague for a while. May as well prepare yourself for it. He cant say anything concrete until the deal is complete. It's not hard to understand whats going to happen though. Look at the Bethesda deal. You can expect the same thing here. They spent $70 Billion for a reason, and its not to keep the status quo. It's to rewrite it.
i know. So is tenchu. That was the point of my post. I was waiting for the troglodyte to catch up.
I see your taste in GIFs is as good as your women.
I’m pretty sure PlayStation eventually relented to this back in 2019

That move had nothing to do with COD.
"Massive" in what way? They already have Miles Morales, but "only" lead by 3 million units. You can blame that on production capacity issues but there's nothing preventing someone from saying the same for Xbox (especially WRT the X).
Well officially, their last numbers were 13.5 million at the end of September. We know in both November and December they sold less than Nintendo and Microsoft in NPD, and in December sold less than them in the UK. System sales tend to roll off a bit in January, and IIRC there was a recent story that they would only be producing 15 million units for the FY instead of the 22 million they wanted, due to chip shortages affecting everyone. They're expecting 22.6 million LTD by end of FY 2022 (ending March 2023); if they can produce more, they'll surpass that number.
Damn, this has really hit you hard, huh?
Diablo 4 won't be on Playstation.
Yeah, that seems reasonable. I think World of Warcraft might also get console ports to Xbox and PlayStation, but if they bring out a new mainline Warcraft game that'll be Xbox/PC/GamePass only.

It's amazing and more than a little hilarious to watch SonyGAF go thru the exact same stages of grief they went thru with the Bethesda deal. They've progressed from disbelief right thru anger and into denial rather quickly this time. One would think more people would have learned something from last time, but apparently not...
Regardless, both are selling very, very well. And the expected Playstation units sold advantage is nowhere close to the "2.5-3x Xbox" many of the usual suspects were predicting 18 months ago.I think your numbers are missing some initial PS5 shipments though. Up through April 2021 I "think" Sony had sold 8 million PS5s started at launch (November 2020).
Sony reportedly making even fewer PS5s due to component shortage
Unsurprisingly, it’s going to be hard to find this holiday.
Because they dont look at this deal from a practical point of view. They'd rather get in their feelings about shit. Fuck feelings! $70 Billion dollars says, rather definitively, fuck yo feelings, plainly put. That said, its not hard to see how things will play out. If Microsoft isnt going to give games to their competitor with a 7 billion dollar deal, how in the fuck do you even formulate in your mind that they will do it with 70 billion dollars? It's inconceivable. They'll allow some games already on PS5 to continue. But the juggernauts? Hell no!It's amazing and more than a little hilarious to watch SonyGAF go thru the exact same stages of grief they went thru with the Bethesda deal.

Okay, I stand corrected. But like M Memorabilia just said, they're both selling through what they can produce, and Sony themselves gave the 13.6 (or 13.8, some sources have different numbers) million sold-through number back in October of last year. So they either sold roughly 5 million units between April 2021 and late October 2021, or the 8 million was shipped numbers, or their production capacity has been severely hampered by the chip shortages.I think your numbers are missing some initial PS5 shipments though.

The easy position to take is MS will keep things exclusive to their platforms once they are able to (past all the agreements, etc); however, the example you are using to support your point here does the opposite — Microsoft continues to support Minecraft across all platforms with new releases as far as I know (Unless new Minecraft games haven't been put on PlayStation?). Anything can be at play here, I think it all depends on how the market is in the next few years, that will ultimately determine if they show up outside of the MS ecosystem.
Yeah, they will most likely do what is best for their business. Based on how things have been in the gaming industry, chances are, everyone saying things will go exclusive past agreements are correct (99%) UNLESS their end goal is something else. Anyway, I think getting Activision Blizzard was a big move by MS but I don't think it's doom & gloom for Sony just yet no matter how much the diehard Xbox people here want it to be.
The SEC filling and on Twitter Activision, MS and Phil Spencer don't seem to say that.
If CoD would go console exclusive, assuming each CoD sells 20-30M, and being generous 10-12M are on PS.
Might just mean that the older COD games will just live on for longer. The majority of the typical, one console household won’t buy a new xbox console because little Timmy can’t play COD anymore on PS.
…..40% of sales on Ps5 30% on ps4 , the rest is everybody else……thats short term money? What ever bruh.
