It’s like Jez said. This gen is all about destroying Xbox for good on PS side. It’s probably why exclusivity from third-party is much more pronounced than last gen.

Yeah, if this were 2013-2016, It would have been game over for Xbox
 It to bad for Sony they probably never expected MS to go all in on Xbox. Sony can sign how many 3rd party exclusive deals they want. Xbox is here to stay now, there is no amount of exclusive deal that Sony can do to kill Xbox now.

Not that it really matters but I’ve just come back from working in south east Asia, I saw 0 Xbox related ads, products etc.

I did see that every 7/11 (the main connivence store averaging one shop per every 3 streets) always had PlayStation & netflix gift cards.

Safe to say Xbox has no presences here from my experience.

Microsoft and their advisors on this deal have played their hand very well. Still comes down to the CMA and how regulators see big tech acquisitions

Wow that Sony person is digging EVEN deeper

There’s a big thread if you wanna read for some laughter, like what the actual fuck is this comment.

Just work on The Factions and maybe you can show Sony that CoD is not needed.

Omg it gets worse, this guy is a legit fanboy lmao he is saying the exact same things other fanboys say.

OK. Didn’t Sony just buy 11 studios, most of them with no meaningful IP to their name? Seems guy doesn’t have a problem with “inorganic growth” as much as the quality of the fertilizer.

At first I didn’t think professional game developers could be fanboys, which I found out recently and how naive I was thinking that. But these stupid comments take it to another level and has me start to think, is this going to actually become an issue for Xbox? like are devs that much of a fanboy like this to no join an Xbox studio because they hate Xbox / Microsoft even if it pays better or is a better workplace.

I mean Playstation bought the studio that he works at :joy:

I wouldn’t be surprised if they still have one more trick left

I hope people are lighting his ass up in the replies, lol. Dispicable.

Everyone acts like Xbox punched their mother. What’s up with the hate?

This represents the mindset divides gaming

PC, Xbox,PS and Nintendo mobile compete with each other
 Its all about users time.

They have there advantage and disadvantage
 That doesn’t make them a separate market

These deals are going to be much harder for Playstation when this deal goes through. I think market share will be much closer which will make these deals much harder. Lets be real these deals mainly happen due to Playstation market share for western markets, and don’t think Sony can cover the cost for some of these deals.

People always say the big 3 Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox, there will be millions and millions of articles over the past 2 decades to show that they all compete with each other.

Why is it all of sudden Nintendo don’t compete anymore?

I’m calling it now, I think we’ll start to see 3rd parties like Ubisoft/TakeTwo/EA to start doing more and more marketing deals again with Xbox by this mid gen, like 360 gen.

These devs are riding high horse and try to differentiate gaming based on games graphics

I am sure this guy doesn’t know what Vampire survivors is
