[PLEASE READ STAFF POST] Microsoft says they have committed to Sony that they will keep Call of Duty and other titles on Playstation "beyond the existing agreement and into the future so that Sony fans can continue to enjoy the games they love."

[Jeans]

Xbox will have priority on marketing, features, performance and GP day one, plus some added bonuses and perks probably. That’s enough of a leverage to me.

I feel like xbox worries too much about what people say and staying “nice” in PR.

i thought they would have realized by now that they’re painted as the bad guy no matter what they do, but apparently not

[Frost]

In what world is it wrong for the third place console to secure exclusives while it’s perfectly fine for the market leader to secure everything.?

Jimbo must have the biggest grin on his face right now.

I would had taken literally anybody else because a lot of my interest in this acquisition is whats done outside of their current output and we may not see that until the next console

This isnt true at all

@Shakez

I’ll blame both, if moneyhats keep happening, being the “good guy” won’t help the situation.

the only way ms can stop moneyhats is if they are let in on the deal. can’t stop what you don’t even know what is happening.

Performance and features are cut from those multiplat games.

I wish I could care about this, honestly.

Zenimax games staying Xbox exclusive was so much more of a bigger deal and now it’s clarified they will I don’t really care so much about whether Sony gets the popular ABK IPs.

Getting them day one on GP, with Xbox prioritised for enhanced resolution/performance is good enough for me. Especially considering CoD will switch to Xbox advertising with Xbox exclusive additional content, rather than PlayStation as it’s been until now.

This honestly does not reassure me the next elder scrolls will be exclusive just keepin it 100

@Deadwing88

And Playstation will continue to aggressively moneyhat third party IP… with no pushback… while Microsoft simultaneously develop games for their platform.

maybe MS should start do the same ? but for some reason they do not want to do that

Plus removes the chance of buying bought from anyone else, removes the chance of it going to other sub services and will in the long run cost them less than paying yearly for Game Pass.

Did you seriously just say Sony is transparent, how is FF7R on Xbox doing.

They’re transparent in how they operate, yeah…they go out and secure exclusives and operate in a cutthroat manner.

That’s what I meant…

You laugh now but a month ago exactly ZERO people would have said Bungie would stay multiplatform and a few years ago you would have been laughed out of the room suggesting Sony games would be on PC.

So happy we get Final Fantasy in return.

Xbox and MS worry too much about growing their business, which they constantly do, they are one of most well run business in the entire world, I feel like they know what they’re doing better than y’all here honestly but I could be wrong.

People say day 1 game pass is more important but we’re yet to actually see anything that major in the AAA category launch as a day 1 GP.

[Frost]

Words can’t really describe how much of a disaster this is.

Maybe not the next console but not until deep in the gen.
