@ShadowofTwilight30 So threatened by the 3rd place console are we? Companies are allowed to sell to whatever country they want. If a country blocks their ability to attempt a closer competition parity, they have every right to respond accordingly. They won't, too much money to be had. But they'd be totally justified if they did. But no worry that Sony dominates the market, just that Xbox might get closer to poor Sony.

@StrawberryWave That was literally my point! You literally just proved my point! Bravo Sony guy!

@Sam_TSM Workers are affected by this not going through too. You unaware of all the problems Activision has had with their employees lately? We were talking about the hypothetical of if UK wants to block Xbox's ability to compete, Microsoft isn't required to sell to UK. Fair is fair.

@Neverwild Sony should be free to buy Activision too if they want.

@StrawberryWave Lol, how much money is in the cloud market vs the general gaming market. Great false equivalency. Xbox and Nintendo chooses to not participate in the VR market, guess we better reverse Sony's purchase of Insomniac then...

@Kevw2006 Sony should be free to try to buy Activision too if they wanted to.

@themightyant But you are literally proving my point then. Sony is willfully, not joining it. So, how is that a valid argument against Xbox?

These actually look decent for once.

@ShadowofTwilight30 spoken like someone who can't counter the facts.

@S1ayeR74 Phil isn't an attorney. If anything, Microsoft cans their attorneys for failing to land the deal in court.
And those 10 year deals mean nothing if Microsoft doesn't own CoD. What are you talking about HQ being worried about those deals?

@Neverwild Lol punish Sony!? Poor, poor market leading Sony... As if Sony isn't capable of making their own military shooter over a 10 year period.

@themightyant And Sony, (whom has cloud tech, but willfully) refuses to join the cloud market, and also has the general gaming market share of top developers isn't capable of making a competitor for CoD in 10 years? It's just such a weak argument.

@Sam_TSM Well, if they punish first, it's all fair play at that point...

@StrawberryWave All services that relatively nobody uses. So, because Xbox has cloud streaming they aren't allowed to buy companies anymore? What a ridiculous argument.

@Kevw2006 If only other companies with a larger share of the market and DEVELOPERS could come up with a CoD competitor in 10 years when cloud streaming a twitch shooter "might" be feasible.

@S1ayeR74 This case is about Xbox though, not Microsoft as a whole. And Sony dominates the market.

@Sam_TSM Nah UK deserves it if they can the deal over such an absurd nothingburger as cloud streaming Call of Duty. CMA is flat out telling Microsoft to play more dirty like Sony. You get what you ask for.

@StrawberryWave It's because Sony and Nintendo literally don't offer any real cloud service! They willfully refuse to offer it. Such a mountain out of a molehill argument. Most people don't even use it, and who on earth is going to play CoD multiplayer over the cloud?! Such a false equivalency.

@S1ayeR74 Your argument shows how dumb this ruling is if this kills Xbox in your mind. But "poor Sony" according to these morons at the CMA.

Sony always gets what it wants. They get this delayed in courts for years through stupid arguments that morons, who know nothing of how videogame markets work buy into. Meanwhile, Microsoft has their money tied up and Sony can continue to dominate the market. It's the Sony way to play dirty, always has been...

@themightyant
Literally a mountain vs molehill comparison to equate general market share with cloud market share. How many people are going to stream CoD multiplayer over the cloud? That's just absurd!
Who are Microsoft going to concede to when Sony won't implement cloud? They can't make concessions to something that doesn't exist. Sony doesn't want to really use cloud and neither does Nintendo. Horrible basis for the ruling when the 2 main competitors willfully reject cloud offerings.

Nobody is streaming CoD over the cloud! Most people barely use it altogether. But punish Xbox because the majority shareholder (Sony) is completely capable and has a cloud offering, but chooses not to implement it more into their system? What an insane ruling.

Nobody is cloud streaming CoD! Much less, really cloud streaming in general. Punishing Microsoft because Sony chooses not to expand their cloud streaming offerings, is insanity.

Liquid, hot, Miasma

@BrilliantBill Exactly, and yes Square is JRPGs basically at this point.

I mean, it's pretty much a given at this point that Sony will buy Square it seems once they are done crying about the Activision/Blizzard purchase and that goes through. So otherwise, Oxenfree 2 and some no-name game nobody cares about.

@FatalBubbles No, you just talk about how I'm just so insanely biased for sharing information from Digital Foundry while you send me a youtube video from PlayStation Portal. Called confession by deflection. But feel free to continue wasting time with me.

@FatalBubbles Good deflection

Was hoping this would be on Game Pass considering the big partnership they have with their F2P games... Might snag on a sale otherwise.

@FatalBubbles So you say the list from Digital Foundry is 2022 so its old then you proceed to send a youtube video from PlayStationPortal (hardly unbiased), where 90% of the games are from 2020! Oh boy...

@FatalBubbles show me the data that proves that or it didn't happen.

@IOI False. Xbox performs better more often. 90% rofl good try! https://twitter.com/dark1x/status/1542546724476133377?lang=en

@Dan1283 Not like 60fps isn't coming. But the bigger question is if they should've delayed until it was ready.

@Dezzy70 And yet a significant majority of cross-platform games perform better on Xbox than PS. This being an exception. So, if your point is accurate, Xbox could perform at an even higher level than PS than it already does.

@Dezzy70 Yeah, both built to certain strengths. PS focused on load times, Xbox focused on performance.

@Dezzy70 PS has a better SSD, but Xbox has better CPU and Graphics card. Performance comparisons have show Xbox to be the better hardware overall. There's a reason Sony had to factory overclock the CPU to try to keep up.

@Sakai @GamingFan4Lyf Sakai is proving my point. Xbox is the better hardware. That isn't fanboy that's just simply facts. It's more powerful and the results of a majority of comparisons have proven that. It's still on devs to utilize it properly and there are outliers. But as Sakai pointed out, it favors Xbox over PS and it's not close.

@GamingFan4Lyf What are you talking about? A vast majority of multiplatform have been better on Xbox than PS. This is a rare occurrence.

Bugsnax was so underwhelming. I don't get what all the hype was about...

@Tasuki So, like maybe once a year then? Lol!

No online multiplayer pretty much killed it for me...

Looks like Frostbite engine with how derpish the faces look lol! @1:23...

Lol $18 a month!? Ubisoft tone deaf as ever... Yves needs to get canned if they ever want to salvage their company...

@Moonglow "The reason you see Spiderman content being cut out from other console games is Sony flexing it's way with Spiderman Movie success with Disney". That was the point I was getting at in my later comments. It's not out there to assume that the movie rights can affect the games situation with the same company.

@Tharsman Just not a fan of drawing conclusions with certainty based on just public information. I can at least admit I'm making assumptions (some are wrong yes). But it's a sidetrack anyways. Funny to see Sony dumping Spiderman already from their Plus platform. Shows how little they desire to compete with Game Pass and frankly, don't care about it.

@Tharsman Sounds like you work for Marvel and are privy to all their behind closed doors dealings. Or you are speculating as fact.

@Tharsman Ok then Google. They are still bedfellows out of necessity between the two. Clearly, there have been platform exclusivity exchanges with the deal they made to get Spider-man in the Avengers movies.

@Tharsman It's actually the opposite. Sony owns the Spider-man license and Disney pays them to use him.

@Tharsman Right? Especially, for a game that old that sits in bargain bins...

@Sebatrox CAG shared the presser on it.
