I’m so tired of this question coming up every week.
Why would they pay $7.5 billion to let Sony have 30% of the profits on the games sold? That makes no sense.
They can’t come straight out & say what they are doing because they don’t, technically, own Bethesda yet.
I would expect they will honor any existing deals Bethesda has with Sony (Deathloop & Ghostwire Tokyo) & maybe even release games far into PS5 development (maybe Starfield), along with the online games ESO & Fallout 76.
Then as new games get made, they are exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. I’m so tired of the Sony led media fanboys asking this question in every interview. If it was Sony that bought Bethesda (not that they have the $ to even do that), they wouldn’t even ask this question. 🙄
I have zero interest in a PS5, but it sounds like I may have to wait awhile for my XSX. I figured this would be case, regardless, as I hate pre-ordering consoles.
To back to your point, a simple solution is to launch the console when you know you have enough units manufactured to meet demand. I have stated that, myself, in another article.
The problem with that is we wouldn’t get the new consoles until 2021. And that would be fine with me. But most people don’t have that patience & Microsoft & Sony don’t want to wait that long because of......$$$$.
Scalpers are scum. I think we both agree on that. But if you take away the reason for them being scalpers, then they wouldn’t be there in the first place.
Obviously, the XSX is in very high demand. These scalpers are just praying on that. No need to come in here & knock the XSX because YOU believe it’s not worth an upgrade.
I could actually say the same about PS5. Or the Switch, in general. But I am not on Push Square or Nintendo Life knocking the console.
Game Pass is awesome, so this is no surprise. And it sure helps you can play most of your catalog of games on the new console. They have done a great job. 👍🏻
This is huge. I don’t play COD multiplayer, so if I want to play one of their campaigns (I only play the Infinity Ward ones), then I don’t want Warzone eating up HD space.
That’s what I have been saying. The PlayStation fans get all pissed at Xbox because they bought Bethesda. But, in my opinion, it wasn’t about that.
It’s more about Google, Amazon, etc. Sony doesn’t have the $ to make a purchase like that anyways. But the other ones do. And Phil even stated in the past that he views those other big $ companies as more competition to Xbox than Sony.
But try telling this all to a PlayStation fan & they go in “fanboy mode” real quick. Lol.
Exactly! This is a sleazy move that should not be supported. And I would say the same if it was Xbox doing it.
We are expected to pay the same $ for a game, but with less features? Get the ?!$& out of here with that nonsense. People making excuses for this need to get a grip on reality.
This would be awesome as I already pay for Disney+ & Game Pass. I would love this, if it happens!
And I’ve been saying for awhile that Microsoft should work out a deal with one of the streaming services to include in GP. This would, obviously, qualify.
On a related note.....The Mandalorian is a fantastic show! 👍🏻
Exactly. Just boycott the game. I won’t be buying this.
To me, the COD series died when the Modern Warfare (the REAL Infinity Ward) trilogy ended. The series hasn’t been the same since. And I have zero interest in the multiplayer, especially with all the storage space each game eats up on your hard drive.

@Kefka2589
That’s good to hear. I’m going to give it a shot, eventually. Especially with it being on Game Pass now. 👍🏻

I agree! The app blows now. I have no idea what they were thinking?

@UltimateOtaku91
The Elder Scrolls & Fallout series have been amazing, save for the mis-step of Fallout 76. Nice try, though. 👍🏻

Re: XIII Remake Creators Apologise For The Game's Technical Issues
This is the worst excuse I have heard in a long time. Just delay the game if it’s in that rough of shape.

Exactly! If EBay stops this, there wouldn’t be a problem in the first place.
Re: Yep, YouTubers Are Already Smashing Up The Xbox Series X
This idiot shouldn’t get views for his video. Wasting an XSX. 🙄
Re: Xbox Series X|S Launch Stats Reveal Lots Of Love For Xbox Game Pass

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator Was Greenlit Because Of Xbox Game Pass
I think Game Pass is perfect for a game like Tell Me Why & all of Dontnod’s episodic games.
Actually Game Pass is awesome all around, so 👍🏻
Re: How To Reduce The File Size Of Supported Games On Xbox Series X
This is huge. I don’t play COD multiplayer, so if I want to play one of their campaigns (I only play the Infinity Ward ones), then I don’t want Warzone eating up HD space.

Re: Phil Spencer Again Confirms Xbox Is Looking To Acquire More Studios
@Rjak
Sony does it, so why shouldn’t Microsoft. Microsoft just has a bigger “hammer” than Sony does.
And with Google, Amazon, Tencent, etc with all that $ out there, Microsoft is trying to build the Game Pass library.
Re: Phil Spencer Again Confirms Xbox Is Looking To Acquire More Studios
@LtSarge
I completely agree. Sega would be huge. But I would love to see them pick up Bloober Team & Dontnod.
Obviously, Moon Studios is another one that makes sense.

@gollumb82
I know, right? Game Pass is ridiculously awesome. 👍🏻
Re: Nintendo, PlayStation Celebrate Xbox Series Launch With Microsoft
Jim Ryan is an absolute buffoon & a tool, in the vein of Don Mattrick.
But, in saying that, I also love competition as it benefits gamers. Like I said in another article.....
Xbox gamers should love that Sony is around. And PlayStation gamers should love that Xbox is around. If not, all gamers would be screwed.
Re: EA Play Joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Here's What's Included
Oh and I am currently playing Mass Effect Andromeda right now off of this service.
Game Pass rules! 👍🏻
Re: EA Play Joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Here's What's Included

I agree! Gold mine. I want to replay the Dead Space series soon. Then there is Crysis & the Battlefield games..... 🤤
Re: Take-Two Reaches Agreement To Acquire Racing Specialists Codemasters

Re: Disney+ Free Trial Added To Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks

I agree. How is this even that big of a deal?
Re: Microsoft Considered Pulling The Plug On Xbox Back In 2014
@Medic_Alert
I completely agree. Xbox fans need Sony & Sony fans need Xbox. Without the other for competition......😳
Just look at the PS3 & Xbox One launches to see just a tip of the iceberg on what pure corporate greed & arrogance can look like. Lol.
Re: Microsoft Considered Pulling The Plug On Xbox Back In 2014
@JGRockford
It’s what I do. 😂😉

And Baby Yoda didn’t grow up at all. He/she is still hilariously cute & awesome. Lol.
