You don't seem to get it do you? MS would literally give Sony 12$ for every copy sold on their store. Minecraft and other service type games that live on having a healthy userbase I can understand but you NEVER give your direct competitor (who btw has been trying to starve them off of games since the gen started) access to system sellers.
Do you see Halo on PS5? Or Gears? or Fable or Forza? Argue whatever you want but quality notwithstanding, those are system sellers which is why they won't come to PS. TES and Fallout are on another level when it comes to popularity so why would MS let the opportunity to grow their ecosystem slip through their grasp for a one-time hit from PS users?
Someone needs to show me the direction to those tables because since this deal has been announced, I have never heard of this many tables with money left on them.
I dont think you get it lol. We will see.
Difference is MS has alot more studios and alot more games in production now than just Gears and Halo etc. They cost alot of money. MS has the money to make these games but if they dont makeloads of profit back, shareholders arent gonna be happy With Xbox’s spending spree.
There not just gonna keep spending hundreds of millions for little return.
And alot more people are just using gamepass then before which means alot less sales ( Aaron has already said Gamepass isnt making much profit )... Which doesnt give enough money for multiple massive 100+ million dollar games to be made. There not selling like Switch and PS numbers.
TBH I couldnt care less about Bethesda’s games, believe what you want. No1 wants to spend billions and not gain massive profit back.
Spencer has taken risks we shall see how it pays off. Atm gamepass has fans but not much profit
