  • Well that’s a catchy title isn’t it.
    Sony basically said “hey, I guess Microsoft gets Activision”. That’s it.
    That’s the video.
    I mean, there’s more to it than that, but, like, that’s all you really NEED to know.
    So….yeah.
    I mean I talk about Call of Duty.
    You guys like call of duty right?
    No?
    Oh that’s a shame.
    I’ll talk about PlaySTation. And XBOX.
    Those are cool.
    Right?
    Oh.
    Que lastima.

    A funny aspect of this is that Ori, Cuphead, Minecraft, Banjo, and Goldeneye are all Xbox 1st party properties... that have since been ported to the Nintendo Switch, and even received Smash Bros appearances.

      @Monsuco Před 10 měsíci +15

      They just have distribution agreements over Ori & Cuphead. Also Microsoft's notion of what counts as a competing platform doesn't necessarily apply to Nintendo because the Switch is a portable handheld console and not a full home console.

      You really think Microsoft didn't see this coming? They have a legal team of lawyers to deal with this. Sony doesn't have the money to buy big publishers, hence the timed exclusivity contracts but that's a band aid for a problem Sony can't control or fix.

      Nintendo is very conservative. They don't like to borrow money and they don't like to buy out other studios. It comes down to their culture and design philosophy, if they absorb other studios they risk mixing unwanted business and management styles in with their own. It is likely why they are choosing to expand by building new studios instead of buying existing ones.

Game Pass with allegedly the same games as on Xbox and Sony gets only a cut from payment as with every other purchase on PSStore. In this way I don't see it happening without both of them coming to compromise (and as I recall allegedly neither are willing as Sony wanted PS+ to appear on Xbox in exchange for Game Pass, but MS said no) allegedly.

Whether it will have any success or not, I don't know, but if in 3 years we see a new IP exclusive to PlayStation that is an FPS and looks like COD, that will be why.
