lol I stopped being a PS fan a long time ago so this only pleases me. Feel bad for my fellow blue rats though. You guys have had a rough few years.

Hopefully this will light a fire under Sony's ass and they will go back to the PS3 era Sony and just focus on creating the best next gen games possible. I was only a casual Sony fan in the PS2 era but once I saw Uncharted, KZ2, Infamous and GOW3 running on the PS3, I became a full air-conditioner.

So there is hope, but Jimbo has to go. Releasing three cross gen games this year, no next gen only first party games, and only 1 next year is NOT the way to win hearts and minds, let alone wars against Microsoft. Hopefully, this brings about a shakeup at Sony.

PlayStation owners won't lose anything imo, but if you're in the Xbox ecosystem you just have a lot more value adds. For most of us, it's a case of will you also own an Xbox because I'm not going to give up things like Forbidden West, God of War and Naughty Dog etc. but Microsoft has brought me on board so I got an xbox this generation as well.

Too vague.

Could just mean they'll continue to support games that are already available like Warzone.

Yeah ms is just going full fuck you mode on ps. I don't care at all about Activision but Sony loses hundreds of millions or a billion dollars by this move. They can't respond in kind cause they only have $50 billion in capital total.

It's a pathetic move on MS part but a sensible business deal. This absolutely shits all over any psvr2, horizon, or Spartacus news that was gonna come out in the next few weeks

Stop whining.
 
hope that Sony starts buying but let's face it...even if sony go crazy splashing out there's no way they will be able to match MS. i mean just for starters Sony is gonna need to spend $77b just to catch up and that's almost half of their entire worth lol. they'd need to go after square/capcom. they can't afford EA or T2.

the entire gaming market has just been turned upside down and this is a huge blow to sony. there's no way you can ignore xbox anymore. there's an insane amount of value in it now. exclusive games like fallout, elder scrolls, starfield, doom, wolfenstein, warcaft, diablo, call of duty, overwatch, crash bandicoot, spyro, tony hawks, etc.

or just have faith that the games/studios Sony has at the moment will be enough. if you like PS exclusives then keep buying them.

Man, more then anything, this news is going to make it suck to be a PS fan around here. It's already a ton of people making dumb ass post about Sony's gamepass and how thy have to day and date.

We're fucked lads. At this point nothing is off the table. EA, Take-Two, Square, Sega, hell even Nintendo probably isn't safe.

I've done my best to support Jim through these difficult times but It's clear Uncle Phil isn't just out for blood. I refuse to be in the cross-fire. It's time for me to retire from the PlayStation Nation

Godspeed

Ubisoft is next, they are in pretty much the same position as activision was. If Sony don't move on it then MS will. Ultimately this is all going to crash and burn and it will take the entire western AAA industry with it, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
 
I bought an Xbox, I have both so oh well. Imo Sony long-term is looking rough. They'll probably just double down on quality over quantity.
 
Merge with Nintendo or die a slow death. With all these ignorant clowns ready to Stan for a nightmare mega corp the likes we've all grown up fearing in movies but somehow stanning for irl, what can you do?

IQ is at a premium these days. People throwing a party over this shit.
 
Although I can see how the line from "competition to monopoly" has been crossed… I'll wait to see how all this will go into the future.
 
Whatever Spartacus was intended to be, it now needs to be considerably better than that. Whatever PSVR2 was intended to cost, it now needs to cost considerably less than that.

This news won't mean a thing to Nintendo. Sony now has to find a way for it to not mean a thing to them. But for PlayStation gamers who live off Call of Duty, it's over.

Sony definitely made some wrong decisions in the last few years:
- alienated Japanese players (some of which have switched to... Switch)
- alienated people who buy Sony consoles strictly for their exclusives (this is still a work in progress ;)
- pissed off EU players with the price hike on the first party games and this happened at the same time when their main competitor was pushing a cheap subscription service
- didn't respond to Microsoft's earlier studio purchases, I get it they can't spend more than a few billion, but they should've tried some acquisitions among middle size studios

I'll be a multiconsole owner so it doesn't affect me, but for someone not after Sony games and their ecosystem Microsoft is becoming a much better choice. Ryan is a very poor boss, I'm surprised he wasn't let go yet.


The thing is that by releasing their biggest games on PC and planning to release more Sony is sabotaging themselves in terms of potentially becoming the next Nintendo. If you have a PC and you're not in a rush you can just wait for the PC ports.

I agree, not that becoming Nintendo no. 2 is a good thing for them. I genuinely believe Sony is in a testing phase and realize that structurally they are very quickly becoming a dinosaur but haven't cemented any real long-term goals yet in other words they are clueless and it might be because they don't have the M$.
 
Honestly I don't think anything of value was lost for the sonybros.

Edit: gotta admit tho, reading that "We welcome Crash Bandicoot into the Microsoft family" was kinda weird.

They will be fine. They charge $50 for plastic plates and you buy them.

Omg I'm kidding. Calm down.

Playstation will be fine. They will move their software to PC faster which will increase their sales quite a bit.

Continue to build their first part studios. It's their main goal and it's worked.

Deal makes Sony looks bad, I can't imagine not buying square enix or Nintendo.

Guys, Nintendo is completely off limits. It would be the same as saying that MS will buy Sony.

Not only Nintendo price would be so high that it would be unattainable, but mostly because Nintendo would never accept to be sold.
 
Is is that difficult to buy another console? In the last gen I've owned both Xbox and PlayStation and I plan to do the same in this gen. Not going to buy them at the same time, but some two years after buying the first one. Consoles will be on sale, they'll be some used console deals etc. Don't understand why making a fuss about it? These are fun times to watch all the reactions but at the ond of the day it shouldn't be a big deal unless you're some die hard fanboy.
 
The most financially-friendly advice = get an Xbox Series S. Start doing the Microsoft Rewards quests on it and never have to pay for Game Pass at all! It's a no-brainer.
 
Buy a Xbox or PC.

I have a ps5 but MS has bought up an undeniable stable of games too. I don't see why you should chain yourself to one platform.

Sony can't compete with these huge purchases but should be making their own shooter too.
