I play in all three, although admittedly more on ps5, then PC, and barely Xbox anymore. I am also a lifetime FF fan…but to me, if I am MS, I’m looking at August - early November if, big IF, it does release this year. FF will absolutely take buyers away from it. Sure, Starfield is on both, but I think people are grossly underestimating how many people are waiting for FF16, and how much time people are going to drop into it. If I am a gamer on all three systems, minus Switch, and strapped for cash during that time and can only afford one, it’s no doubt FF. Plus, we all know based on Bethesdas track record, Starfield is not going to be the most polished game in the world, and waiting until after launch is probably the safest bet with it.
Again, I favor ps5 and Final Fantasy all day long, but just my opinion, they would be better off waiting until later in the year, or early next year.
