HFW wasn't released day one and it was assumed that it was NEVER coming off the PlayStation.
Yeah, I meant day 1, obviously. My point is simply that bad games don't sell regardless of their exclusivity status. I was very much into Xbox during the 360 days but didn't bother getting an Xbox One or Series X. I also haven't bought a Microsoft-published game since Forza Horizon 5 and I suspect it's the case for a lot of PC players as well. Their games just don't appeal to anyone because the quality is lacking. If they were amazing, then I don't doubt that a lot of potential Xbox sales would have been lost to PC.
Yeah, and I said as much earlier in the thread. I don't think it makes a lot of sense for them to do day 1 single-player games on PC.
No, we were talking about BG3.
Guess we can agree after all.
I own a high-end gaming rig with a 4090. Who are you calling an insecure PS fan? There's always someone that takes the bait.
Way to miss the point.
This is for their Live Service Games, Which make since. Not their AAA Single Player Games. Their Single player games make very little money on PC. It would devalue the console like what Xbox is experiencing.
Then Sony should lose that by now, since steam has most of their exclusives.
The slippery slope is for Sony to lose out on revenue. You can't expect all of their games to sell 10+m every release.
It matters a lot.
But that doesn't change the cost and salary prices.
In a way, sure.
They've missed out on revenue since forever and apart from the fuckup at launch with PS3, they've done just fine. They even made an amazing recovery as a whole with PS4, without PC.
Yes, and that's why they will focus on bringing GaaS titles to PC day 1, which should generate most revenue on PC.
Yes, Xbox. Xbox is also the only one dying.
Relax warrior, not everything is console wars. I was only trolling hence the smiley face in my post but you took it literally, LMFAO.
This is minimally GaaS. Which is why it's so successful.
Yeah, and Stellar Blade, and FF16. 3 more copies sold right here at least!
It's amazing what having a daddy money can do to you.
Nah, it's democracy and killing insects. 2 things that make humans unite on one common goal.
Lmfao, no. This is flat out wrong. Activision got in bed with Sony when they saw xbox sales(xbox one) were declining. Stop trying to rewrite history. You probably don’t even know who they had before they went with CoD for marketing.
You are right. Activision is a nobody company.
I want some of what you are smoking. All of those will not be Day 1 on games pass, many of them will be playstation.
Went a head and checked FF7 remake. Lets say, these games would go nuts with those mods.
No one gives a crap if it hits PS, Nintendo or Apple console.
Speaking personally here, but I'm at the point where those traditional consoles aren't worth it anymore, and I don't game on PC, so if I can't get those third party games on Switch 2 I just won't play them. And this is from someone who's always bought all consoles each gen for a long time now.
That's not true at all. Sony can still negotiate marketing deals, especially if its putting more money in MS pocket and it makes sense for MS position. Any game MS sold for playstion MS is paying a Sony a fee depending on the deal. MS wants money. Being exclusive is not helping them based on their console market share.
MS would never allow Sony for marketing purpose. That period was during the cma deal. Now that is off the table.
Consoles are now excutive toys. The passion excutives are not there anymore. Its just $$$$$.
He clearly has an agenda. A few days after HD2 released, he shared unreliable data showing 80% of HD2 players were on PC. This was obviously false, he later deleted it. It's just weird how much he seems to dislike Sony
He claimed 25% of all Steam users in NA were playing HD2 at one point which was so wrong. He later redacted it upon getting called out. Really I think his agenda is to constantly play the corporate dog role. That statement came very close to Sony's multiplat plans so I read it as him justifying their decisions with absurd "facts".
Yeah, 100% pushing an agenda
That wasn't a day 1 release. What makes Helldivers 2 interesting is that it's a day 1 release of a Playstation 1st party game. All other games have late releases without the big bang marketing budget and hype of a day 1 release. PC games sell a ton these days but they are pretty much all day 1 releases because pretty much no one other than rockstar and Sony do late PC launches.
He frames the data for his agenda. The data wasn't unreliable but he clearly wanted to try and push the narrative and let people come to the incorrect conclusion that the overwhelming majority of users were on PC. As far as I remember his data was showing a higher percentage of the steam population were playing a specific game vs the PS population playing a specific game. It was not that this percentage converted to number of users was greater than those playing on Playstation. There was absolutely no reason to compare those percentages. What conclusion was he trying to draw from it? Of course people absolutely incorrectly read that as the helldivers population being 80% on steam and 20% on playstation. The same now, he knew people would interpret his initial tweet as "The reason Helldivers is successful is due to the PC release".
is that is a community driven co-op game. The PC crown eats that shit like there is no tomorrow.
skyrim says hi.
It's a pointless moot that people bring in.
