Overboard? Sony is gonna be more and more aggressive. Though usually time exclusives happen in the beginning of the gen. But with Xbox getting more popular it might be a big war.
Personally my opinion is that MS should go after big studios and publishers. There are a lot of indies and it is easier to make the deals with them rather than purchasing them. Of course their price might increase after the success, but you never know what will succeed. Also indies will require growth so they won’t be that much different from building a new studio.

I’m with Javier here, most of their games suck monkey balls. I laugh every time Sony pays money to keep that crap away from Xbox. Like, ooooh noes.
On a personal level that is, for Xbox it sucks a bit.

Maybe the next studios were the memes we made along the way

Literally dont care about Square Enix Japan and the only interest I have in the western side is 2 IP’s, CD and Eidos. Thats it.
Literally seen Forspoken three times already and it looks and sounds so mediocre. Sony locked that up for TWO YEARS.

Xbox is done acquiring studios. Now they are figuring out how to make all of the coming games into MP-first GaaS.

They thought about acquiring Japanese publishers, thing is… They arrived at the conclusion that Gamepass isn’t profitable, so now Xbox is going 3rd party.

Yeah that’s where it’s headed tbh. They can’t keep up in the UK NPD so it’s time to move on. It was fun while it lasted…

I still think they should acquire Xbox Games Studios… they got some solid talent there.

Neon Giant feels like a safe bet at this point.
