Look to the final part.
What final part?
Software update which send performance improvement and so on should be on Xbox platform too.
That's clearly about hardware feature updates.. they spell it out. If you add HDR to PS5 you have to update HDR on XSX.
Microsoft supposedly forced parity on Division 1
Wasn't there some leak about an Assassin's Creed game in the same time frame? then PR jumped in and claimed that parity was enforced "to avoid arguments" around which console was better. That doesn't look good for the current gen.www.neogaf.com
Let's break this down, shall we. First off, barely anything partakes in Google Stadia's Pro service, and Luna from amazon doesn't really have a sub service like that per say (and is still in beta). Remember what I said in my initial post: There is, quite literally, not a single service on the market that is what Game Pass is. When you say "Outriders is on Stadia, but it's not part of Pro" - the real response is... and? So is 90% of every game released on Stadia. Very few of them ever appear on Pro. How do we know it was ever going to be part of that service regardless? We literally have not seen the "marketing" contract for Outriders. We have absolutely no idea what the terms are, so to make presumptions about those terms seems kind of silly doesn't it? How do we know Outriders can't appear on PS +? PS+ doesn't get brand new games like Game Pass does, so how can we ACTUALLY know that's some sort of stipulation? Games that end of up plus end up there after they are no longer selling much.
As for "every service equivelent to PS +"- Game Pass ISN'T equivalent. It's literally an entirely different type of service. Games with Gold is equivalent. However, Game Pass, Game's With Gold, and Xcloud are named specifically, along with Stadia Pro. Granted, right now that term seems to potentially only be for a year - thought a bit vague on the exact length of that term. Even Xcloud... Stadia Pro... are note equivalent services. What they are, are types of services Sony does not offer and does not have a direct answer to at this given point in time. Discluding them from those services is for no other reason, than to not give a potential competitive advantage to other platforms that have more user friendly delivery methods. That's it. It says it in black and white.
As for parity - they have an entire clause about it. They call it feature, content, and technical parity. It lasts 7 years. It goes into detail about technical parity for a line, before veering off into not allowing any exclusive content on any other platform. They said it. I read it. You may interpret it different, I'm just regurgitating their own verbiage.
I am not saying Sony is a shit company. I am not saying Microsoft DIDN'T do this with Outriders. What I am saying, is we don't have any actual proof that's what the contract is for Outriders, but we do have proof of what this contract is and that is all we can go off of. When I mentioned Outriders, it was specifically because someone else brought it up as if we actually know what that contract is.
If you read the whole paragraph it's quite clear. They pretend tecnical parity "subject to material platform limitations".
Microsoft could buy 5 Sony's and 3 Disney's on any random Tuesday with the spare change between their couch cushions.
It probably means the same thing; they just didn't give examples and leave it at "technical." But the platform limitations comment likely does indicate they are only talking about shit like HDR like MS has spelled out.
You need to stop.
Section 9.3
Well yeah most likely. Or Sony won't accept inferior perfomance until there isn't a valid tech reason behind, I guess.
Yes the word technical is used; but they spell out that they are talking about "with respect to any hardware feature updates" and even provide a list of hardware specific features. The next sentence is in respect to those types of hardware features.Section 9.3
"Publisher will (1) in its implementation of such features, optimize the performance and technical capability of Xbox Console version in parity with the Console Version video game on Competitive Platform."

: Huh? Sensitive much? It's less clear, they don't provide examples.. the fuck is your problem? lol
Because you can't read very well.

I'm not doing any of what you just typed in this post.
Then why don't they, oh yeah because it doesn't work that way
What does their streaming services have to do anything? We know what they own and how big they are.
you can ? thanks. timed demos sometimes can bite devs in the ass. I didn't have time to see all control options.
Are you following the conversation sir, or is this just an addendum to your previous hot take. I was made aware of the "debunking" of this rumor and acknowledged it way before you said anything in response to my post. Please try to follow along, hence the "Keep Reading" comment.
Damn Soulja boy!!
No I didn't. You suggested that Sonys horse is struggling. I said in what alternate reality is their horse struggling. Then you said in the reality where Gamepass is scaring them. Where did I mention xbox in that conversation?
