He's deeply offended by this. This is the first time this has happened in the history of consoles.

Taul Passi: Black Myth Wukong not coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal

I don't buy it.
It just makes zero sense that Sony would pay for an exclusive and not promote it whatsoever. They parade around the Hoyoverse games, SH2, FF7, and countless others. Why would this game of all games be different.
The most credible comment so far is from Game Science themselves...unless you believe Sony paid for them to talk shit about the xbox?

I think we’re still waiting on Sony’s response to: The fuck you thinking with Concord?
So it may take a while.

Be it some phantom deal or technical issues, there's little doubt it's eventually coming.

Hmm? I guess.. but still doesn't help them much to have a game exclusive to their system while it is having performance issues; and they can't/won't even advertise. If people are really bothered by the game being exclusive, then just get it on PS5 (the ones complaining the loudest here seem to have both systems so....)

Well, at least this will force someone to start pressuring Sony to confirm or deny at least.

Black Myth: Wukong's delay on Xbox is due to an exclusivity deal with Sony, a knowledgeable source has told IGN, corroborating reporting on Forbes as well as what IGN has heard elsewhere.
"corroborating reporting on Forbes as well as what IGN has heard elsewhere"
That's two different sources saying the same thing, I'm not a betting man but this ain't looking good for Sony.

it helps them in the sense that it's the only console the game is available.

Maybe. Could be the same source talking to IGN and Tassi. Thought that was what you meant when you said "Unless they're using the same source"
A bit too much of a coincidence that IGN and Tassi get new info from two different sources at the same exact time.

VS the devs and extas1s so 2 sources vs 2 sources...But one is the dev of said game....

It is looking good for Sony. It was a smart deal. It's selling millions and moving consoles. Just like good exclusives do.

I don't think that's ever stopped them. Rebirth looks like a blurry mess on performance mode and Rise of the Ronin looked very dated and the framerate is terrible, but that didn't stop them from marketing the shit out of both. Whoever says that Sony isn't advertising the game because it's not technically great is crazy.

Yeah, sorry, I mean that part was clear to me but the game having perf issues on their box does not look good, exclusive or not. So, if they do have exclusivity, might as well advertise it. The game is getting good word of mouth and seems to be a good game.

I dont understand how MS has $70 billion to buy activision, $8 billion to buy Zenimax, $3 billion to buy Minecraft, but lost timed exclusives to Sony for the following games:
- Black Myth
- Genshin Impact
- Stellar Blade
- FF16
- FF7 Rebirth
- Forspoken
- FF7 Remake
- Rise of Ronin
- Nioh 1 & Nioh 2
- Death Stranding 1 & 2 - Remember Sony signed kojima to a 2 game deal literally the year MS closed the Minecraft deal.
- Kojima's next game
- Black Myth
- Genshin Impact
- Stellar Blade
- FF16
- FF7 Rebirth
- Forspoken
- FF7 Remake
- Rise of Ronin
- Nioh 1 & Nioh 2
- Death Stranding 1 & 2 - Remember Sony signed kojima to a 2 game deal literally the year MS closed the Minecraft deal.

So if GC was lying about the memory leak. Why didn't Xbox respond on that issue in the media?
You must be trolling at this point. You can't be real on this.

Why isn't it looking good for Sony?
We all know they have, and will pay for exclusivity for games. They've done it in the past, same as Microsoft has, and they will likely to continue to do so. Why wouldn't it be good for them? If true, the game is going to be exclusive to their box and if people want it on console, then, for now, it has to be their console.
The only thing weird about this deal is, they are not saying anything about the game lol.

Yeah....not sure what "isn't looking good" for Sony here. I mean...exclusivity deals are still shitty, but the last half dozen times they did something like this didn't have negative repercussions so not sure why this one would be any different.

Well i hope the game gets canceld for the Xbox.....only for the tears and salt....and more tears.

This is a bit like telling you believe in the power of generations, to then release only cross-platform games. Or not disclosing an exclusive as temporary from the beginning. Pretty shady communication amirite ?

Proving there's a deal isn't the win you think it is.

Surely Sony would have paraded this exclusivity everywhere.

They're referring to Forbes, saying they've heard the same thing but from someone else. So even if Tassi is one source, there's another one also.

Or announcing games as console exclusive to then port all of them on PC, right ?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
GC didn't say anything about any memory leaks.
You know what I meant. IGN has one or more separate sources from Tassi saying the same thing.

The only people that will end up looking bad are the Sony faithful that insist deals like this arent real. It shows (if true) that they were clueless.
Everyone does timed deals. Personally I'm fine waiting.
The only other people that look bad are the press. If this was on Xbox 1st they'd badger everyone until they found out how many months its exclusive. We already know Stalker 2 is 3 months and its not even out yet. They are just now finally getting around to trying to ask questions here which is a good thing.

They didn't only release cross-platform games. People still misunderstand his quote to this day.

Why are people trying to turn this into a Sony vs. Microsoft thing?
They both have done exclusivity with games. One has bought a whole publisher and their strategy is now a little different from before.
Sony has, will continue to, make exclusivity with games that they think will help their business, so until doing it doesn't benefit them, they likely won't stop. So, if Sony was indeed behind it, I don't see how it is a "gotcha" as some here are trying to play it up to be. They got exclusivity to a game that is popular with gamers. I don't think Sony is going to see that as a negative.

Well I certainly don't want the shitty PS5 port of this game on my Xbox so it's a win for me at least.

But they did say it was for optimisations and that they were doing all they can to minimize the wait ...How do you do that when there's a deal ?

Not saying that isn't a possibility, but IGN said their source corroborated the "reporting" made by Forbes. They didn't say "someone else". How would IGN know who Forbes' source is?
Not saying you are wrong. Saying we don't know.

That's like only reading a catchy title and not the article. Don't know how many times it has to be said, but you're wrong about cross-gen stuff. They literally say it in the same article they'll be supporting PS4 still.
The generations thing was about the features of next-gen.
Now let's never bring that shit up again.
How would they know they have a separate source?

Lack of anyone who understands games or how to manage/grow IP. I am not kidding. When you look at the timed exclusives they secured this gen, most of them are either middling-to-bad games (think shit like The Gunk or The Medium) or they are great games that are locked behind ineffectual agreements (Like a Dragon having an exclusive next-gen version for 6 months, or STALKER 2 having less than a year's exclusivity clause). When they do luck into a genuine hit they still manage to not make it rain for the rest of their line-up (see Palworld being a success on Gamepass and barely netting MS anything in profit despite being a Steam mega-hit).
They will continue to rack up L's because they have a strange victim mentality: All their failings must be the fault of an external party. They did it during the phone OS wars with Apple and Android, and now they're doing it with Sony. I guarantee you that if somehow, anyone comes up on their true moneymakers (Azure and Office), they will try to make it about how mean competitor moneyhatted Ctrl-Alt-V or some shit.
The below maxim continues to prove true:

Now it's actually good for Sony apparently, no shitty deal is bad enough when you're a shill it seems.

Lol at the absurd naivety of the usual suspects in this thread. You lot will eat up any unsubstantiated BS without receipts as long as it fits with your head narrative.
Firstly, lol, Jez is the source and is BS.
Secondly, nobody at a level to talk to the gaming media knows about deals like this, i.e. they have first-hand info on the deal.
Thirdly, if there was a deal both the game dev and MS wouldn't be publicaly taking about technical issues and how they're working to resolve them to bring the game to Xbox.
The copium won't allow these chuds acknowledge the simple fact that this is a result of the abortion that is the XSS and MS's policy that mandates day-and-date release of all games on XSX and XSS.
Anyone claiming anything else is a goon.
