Nintendo still the market leader in gaming hardware sales. They gave not been "relegated" anywhere.
Gaming is cyclical.How about we just look at overall profit and you can stop posting?
Nintendo has officially made more profits with Nintendo Switch(2017-2020) than Sony Gaming division with Playstation 4(2013-2020)
Nintendo - 12.22 billion USD of operating profits from 2017-2020 Sony gaming division - 10.98 billion USD of operating profits from 2013-2020 Nintendo and Sony GnS operating profits 1st party games and Nintendo hardwares are the primary contributors to the high operating profit...www.neogaf.com
Um, they already are?
Apple will parter with Sony like they done with Nintendo! They showcase a dual sense controller in a past event. Also Sony just started PlayStation mobile or something like that.
Until the ABK acquisition gets completed, Apple is the top 3 public company that earns more revenue from gaming, only after Tencent and Sony.
I don't see them making games, but yes a 'console' (or simply a pad controller for iPhone+iPad+Mac (attachable to phones/tablets as a Joycons or as gazillions of 3rd party controllers already do) for the games with controller support).
Do you think these deals are done without a shit ton of due diligence? And that that doesn't cost a shit ton of money and time? Money that could become a sunk cost if the deal doesn't go through.
Right? It's like you can't go out and purchase an xbox for 299$. It's about the games. If I restricted myself to only 1 console I would be doing myself a disservice to all these great games available. I will never understand being loyal to some of these companies. Makes ZERO sense.
I really like Take Two and Ubisoft. Bioshock and Dues ex are a few of my all time favorites.
You're pretty ignorant if you actually think this. Shareholders look at all parts of a company. A part that is losing money leads to questions.
As I mentioned before - unless it tanked their Azure revenue shareholders won't care. Being one of the tech giants, the way Microsoft looks at expenses is different from the smaller company like Nintendo. As long as shareholders get their profits - which are growing - they won't care. During investor call, while MS provided the information about acquisition in advance, nobody asked about 70b expenses. They asked about Office and Azure only.
biggest acquisition Sony made in their history is 5.4b (movie division) if I'm not wrong
Getting Rockstar would mean buying Take Two. That would probably be at least $20B. That doesn't really feel like a move Sony would make. They don't normally go for deals that big. They used to own almost 19% of Square Enix and sold it off. They already have a big enough money hat with them to keep the next Final Fantasy on PS5 so there's no reason to buy the company. They already locked in what matters.
Will be much more. After T2 + Zynga merger they will be at least 25b and now with 30-40% premium it is gonna 30b+ at least. And I don't know the final T2 evaluation.
Assuming someone doesn't make Zynga a better offer. Didn't they leave themselves open to other bids?
Who? MS could be interested actually - they could probably go after T2 post Zynga merger if it was able available. But ATVI opportunity arrived so I am curious who could make an offer to Zynga. Apple?
Apple would make a lot of sense considering the nature of their gaming business. I don't know who else would be interested. Facebook or Netflix maybe?
Facebook probably would not be interested considering their interest in VR. Netflix could be a possibilty too.
This entire post is terrible idea after terrible idea. Good thing you aren't in charge. What are you talking about?
Well Sony and Nintendo try to compete with Nintendo but not really. Nintendo is the market leader and the rest are just trying to play catch up
bruh
They will and they wont share a damn thing with anyone else unless they get dragged through a court and its set in law to put content on other platforms
What I say is that I think they will do what MS, Activision and Spencer said to their investors and regulators that want to do, the same they said and are doing for Mojang and Zenimax, and specifically using Minecraft as example and mentioning specifically CoD. Which is to keep releasing on PS and Switch the new stuff of the big IPs they had on PS and Switch.
Don't forget Deep DownSony has had Agent(s) inside Take-Two for too long, gonna happen sooner or later.
Nah, I think Apple won't buy game studios or publishers. I think they will continue making only hardware and cashing a shit ton of money out of from their 30% cut from 3rd party games. As of now they are 3rd public company that gets more revenue from games even if htey don't make their own ones.
I already told you. They are keeping to their word. You'll get fallout 76 updates, warzone updates and elder scrolls updates on ps5 and like it. But that's all you're getting. Might be time to buy an Xbox if you want moreWhat I say is that I think they will do what MS, Activision and Spencer said to their investors and regulators that want to do, the same they said and are doing for Mojang and Zenimax, and specifically using Minecraft as example and mentioning specifically CoD. Which is to keep releasing on PS and Switch the new stuff of the big IPs they had on PS and Switch.
Plus honoring the pending contracts with Sony, Nintendo or maybe who knows if even 3rd parties for licensed stuff. Minecraft Story Mode and specially Minecraft Dungeons were released many time after the acquisition, so didn't happen due to signed stuff. As was the same with Ori games on Switch, MS did it because they wanted to do it, not because of previous signed deals. Deals that in some cases pretty likely they would have been able to rearrange with Sony or whoever else was involved, as seems to be the case of Starfield where -if it isn't a timed console exclusive- they canned the PS versions.
It's a fact that they said they want to continue supporting these already existing IPs on these platforms (didn't mention new IPs/communities, so these could be exclusive) even in legal document and that is what they are doing at least until now. If you don't like it it's your issue and you're the one living on fantasies, not me.

I'll just ask this one question because I don't know what you're talking about anymore.What I say is that I think they will do what MS, Activision and Spencer said to their investors and regulators that want to do, the same they said and are doing for Mojang and Zenimax, and specifically using Minecraft as example and mentioning specifically CoD.

I know they started to make it as a multiplatform game, so for PS too, but as of now it's announced for Xbox only. I wouldn't be surprised if its released as Xbox console exclusive at launch, but after a year or maybe even two gets released on PS.
Yes or no, do you think Starfield comes to the Playstation?
At launch no.
You can't just say yes or no can you? So you think it won't be exclusive and it will show up on Playstation.
I already replied to you, don't be that annoying and desperate repeating like a parrot. Go to troll someone else.
No, sorry. I think Sony wants to expand their base as much as possible. A lot of money left on the table. Gof Of War and most likely Horizon will come to Xbox. Not immediately but it will happen.
Sony develops the show for Xbox. So I guess based on that god could show up on Xbox! I'll hold off on buying the pc version just in case!
