Not gonna happen.
Metal Gear has already been licensed out to PlayStation and Bluepoint are currently working on the series.
Never said they are a Monopoly. I just said they are desperately trying to become one. There is a difference. But anyway, I guess them trying to buy everything shouldn't be a surprise to anyone considering the butt whipping they took last gen from Playstation and Nintendo.How are they going to be a monopoly when ppl around here claim Sony is going to outsell them 3:1 and they only matter in the US and UK?
Don't you have to have the lions share to be a monopoly?
Exactly, Besides the Bethesda Acquisition almost every other move Xbox has made has been in line with business as usual. Lets not forget shortly after the Bethesda deal closed xbox attempted to double the price of xbl gold. To me that says they dont have the infinite black hole of money some of these astroturfers will have us believe. Time will tell though i guess but as far as this goes its total nonsense in my opinion.Before all this warchest craze, if anything MS should sit down with Sony and beg them to get Deathloop and Ghostwire to release at the same date and pay the compensation for breaking the deal. It's funny when 2 of their first party are exclusive to PS5 while there is zero new games on Xbox Series X|S. People need to be a bit realistic with their dreams.

Losing money? You got an explanation for this?So kojima didn't want to keep making metal gear so leaves.
MS will spend a billion buying a franchise that always sold best on PlayStation and kojima will develop it. I mean if you like losing money then go for it.
I don’t think they are as concerned with those games as they would/should be about MGS.Before all this warchest craze, if anything MS should sit down with Sony and beg them to get Deathloop and Ghostwire to release at the same date and pay the compensation for breaking the deal.

Care to explain why?Sorry but there's a greater chance virtual Pachinko machines coming to Game Pass.

Those games have good developers, but they aren’t console sellers and Microsoft isn’t crying over that exclusivity. I think their main focus, in relation to those games, is just making sure Halo is the best exclusive this year.
Ah, thanksWith all due respect to you, sir, what you said doesn't make sense at all. What Halo has to do with either game? So we're getting Horizon FW so we should not get the rest of the exclusives? Why even buy the console then?
In the context of your post, there’s really no difference.Never said they are a Monopoly. I just said they are desperately trying to become one. There is a difference.
Ah, thanks
With mutual respect, I’ll say it makes as much, if not more sense, than insinuating Microsoft should be worried about Deathloop and Ghostwire - one year exclusivity, when they are going as big as Bethesda and Metal Gear Solid. Why, that’s just bananas, sir.
Deathloop and Ghostwire have nothing to do with this, and no, they shouldn’t be Microsoft’s primary concern - that’d be silly!
They are not AAA titles who cares right?Before all this warchest craze, if anything MS should sit down with Sony and beg them to get Deathloop and Ghostwire to release at the same date and pay the compensation for breaking the deal.

First time hearing that Ms tried to double price of XBL gold.Exactly, Besides the Bethesda Acquisition almost every other move Xbox has made has been in line with business as usual.

It’s extremely dry on both consoles right now. Ratchet and Returnal are great, but it’s not an avalanche, and the actual quality of those two is still undetermined.
They don't have the luxury for that as it's extremely dry on their console. That's my opinion. Also this is only a rumor, the reality is there are no games on Xbox other than multiplats, which are pretty narrow as well. Have a great time.
Yeah they attempted it recently but the backlash was so swift and strong that they backed off the same day. Look it up.First time hearing that Ms tried to double price of XBL gold.
Correct. Then in listening to customers and reverting that decision, they also went ahead and made all free-to-play games actually free online, which wasn’t the case before, right?Yeah they attempted it recently but the backlash was so swift and strong that they backed off the same day. Look it up.
It was all decided before Phil woke up, when he was chugging down his protein shake after a 3 hour gym session he heard the news. He booted Greebergs office door off its hinges and politely told him to change it back, rest is history.Yeah they attempted it recently but the backlash was so swift and strong that they backed off the same day. Look it up.
They well sell for the right price my friend, that's how business works.Konami isn't going to sell their IPs. they have figured out that they can make a lot of money from their IPs buy leasing them to the highest bidders. In Japan Konami is licensing out their IPs to different Pachinko companies and making millions, if Microsoft can cough up 200mil to borrow IPs for 1 game deals that is easy money right there.

of course they will sell for the right price, I'm just saying Konami has been making big money without making anymore AAA games by renting out their IPs. 4 billion to microsoft is chump change compared to Sony though.They well sell for the right price my friend, that's how business works.
This is hilarious spin. If anything, Sony should beg MS to release future Bethesda games multiplatform. Bye Bye Fallout, DOOM, Starfield, Elder Scrolls, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, etc. You are nuts.
Why not. Buy it and give it to the coalition. Get an mgs game without all the melodrama and see how it goes.
I hate to break it to you, never cared of any games you've shown, bought Fallout 4 and made me puke. Only game that was fun with mediocre story is Rage 2. You can keep all of that, also got a gaming PC if anything turns out to be "good".
It's not about YOU particularly though is it? There are others out there that enjoy those games. What are you playing now?
Oddworld occasionally, waiting for Returnal.
Oddworld isn't my style. I really tried with other installments but it was too SNES style for me mechanically. Outriders and Monster Train for me right now with some Yakuza peppered in.

This would be such a major move by MS. Honestly Sony's looking like they're re-creating a Diablo 3 scenario. They build up all that good will (PS4) then they squander it for one round of great sales (PS5), then they got a long climb back to where they started (if they can even make it back).
I don't think these games will sell consoles on their own. They will probably rank in the nice-to-have as an early gen filler, and fodder for online console warring as this thread and others have shown.
