all I know is I've given Xbox more money this gen due to game pass

thank god

My only expense on xbox in the last 5 years has been paying for gamepass

And bought gta 4 for $7

just by me being on Xbox more because of game pass I bought back 4 blood dlc, out worlds spacer choice, wwe 2k23 icon edition, a bunch of Xbox / 360 titles, ass creed Valhalla dlc, participate in rewards challenges, a bunch of flight sim dlc. whereas before id buy like halo and gears and call it a gen

Yeah and that was dumb too . Sony at this point has had a longer deal

200 million dollar budget games isn’t sustainable or realistic. Console sellers or killer apps. There is no game solely worth buying a ps5 for . Ps4 could saw last of us 2 or a few games yes but the whole reason this has gone on is because Sony is arguing their games help but being able to play a casual game helps more . Much of Sony top players aren’t buying the system selling games or playing it quick then what ?

i haven’t been able to for a long time

i was trying to play bo2 earlier this year there were 5k people on

i think those player numbers on the menus have been busted for a long time and it all just depends on what time of day you play but ive definitely got lobbies in a few of the older games in the last year

Most PlayStation users are buying the exclusives tho

I think the CMA is talking s*** rn and this will close by the 18th
BELIEVE

lol the data says otherwise especially when it comes to PS5

I mean sales are great. FF16 sold like 3 or 5m already forget which. Even horizon sold a ton.

Buying one exclusive a year isn't enough to sustain a console even if every single person in the install base did it. If every single PS4 and PS5 user bought Ragnarok then buys no microtransactions and plays it once or doesn't even complete it you really think that helps Sony?

Not everyone is buying Horizon that is why they gave it with plus

FF16 is 3 million and is a exclusivity deal

Yes lol i do. GoWR is one of the best selling PS exclusives ever.

Horizon too. 8.4m copied as of May.

one time purchase vs the budget of it is what matters not the sales alone

GodR

588 million US$ minus 200 Million in production cost minus 50 million in advertising is about 338 in profit.

Cod

The mutualistic partnership has helped accelerate Sony's earnings to their highest point ever in FY2020, and also helped Activision generate a record-breaking $3 billion from Call of Duty in 2020.

You're right. Exclusives help push the consoles that make people buy the games that make the actual profit for the company. But they are a drop in the pond compared to 3rd party games.

WaW back?!

right when my 3 years goes away...

I don't get how PlayStation first party sales are downplayed when they're doing more than most multiplats

Fighting back on the menu boys

They need to wrap it up already

all I need is 360 Cods on game pass so I can do quick scope battles with friends

and spyro 4
