MS is in full on assault ,within a year they now owned most of the biggest IPS in gaming world right now
fucking call of duty, doom, elder scrolls, fallout, warcraft, diablo
these ips, to name a few, are considered the pillars of gaming by many, and now they're all Microsoft property
this shit is no fucking joke when you really think about it,
With the lack of any big acquisitions or announcement lately while Microsoft created Game Pass and collected twice as many studios within less than 12 fucking months, PlayStation played it completely safe. in fact they decided to release their first party games on PC
this is gonna bite them in the ass so fucking hard in the coming years
it isn't too late tho, they need to act NOW, it's too late for "industry shouldn't go this route" MS started this shit and it's way too late now to back down
sony should 100% get one of them big publishers

 

[THEAP99]

They can't. They don't have the money. They have to come up with something very very clever to keep the normies on PlayStation.

 

[Sosokrates]

There installbase will take some hit. But they will still be very successful.

 

[Guilty_AI]

 

[Azelover]

I hope not.

If all sides start buying up everything, we're gonna have some serious erosions.

I think Sony can compete by staying the course. Look at Nintendo, they don't have the multiplatform IPs, but that didn't stop them. Just focus on the experience.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

They don’t have to do anything

 

[clintar]

Reads like Microsoft shot them in the foot.

 

[MasterDerico]

Games will tell!


As i said before, this "new gen" started too early. Let's see what they will do this year.

 

[GametimeUK]

Calm down, bro.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

Sony makes great games. If they keep doing that they will be fine. The market is more than big enough for both MS and Sony to get their piece of the pie.

MS has to deliver a ROI on the Bethesda and Acti/Blizzard acquisition.
There is no reason to celebrate as Xbox owner (I am one of them).

It´s very destructive. I gain nothing as Xbox owner, those multi billion $ deals will bring no game to my system it would not get anyway but the customer will pay the price.
Just imagine what MS could have built with that kind of money.

Sony will be fine with their 1st party output.

 

[MHubert]

They are not. MS is. Thats why they just bought ActivisionBlizzard for 70 (seventy) billion US dollars.

 

[iorek21]

Sony right now:

"Can u spare a publisher for me plz"

 

[Jonnie_Darko]

What a weird way to spell "Nintendo is doomed"

 

[Bojanglez]

I predict they will post record numbers for the next few years. They are growing their footprint by being on PC too, they'll also no doubt have a more competitive subscription service than they currently have (possibly PS, PC & Cloud).

Sure MS will gain some market share, but the whole pie is getting bigger.

I tried reading this all with a straight face and failed miserably.

Didn't even get past the first few lines

...but ok, I'm game and keen for a laugh. We'll go with your 'Sony is doomed' scenario

 

[mansoor1980]

seriously jim ryan just................

 

[T-Cake]

In some ways it's a shame because there will be less third parties to make games for PSVR 2 now.

 

[Guilty_AI]

You know who'll win in the end? No one cause we're all gonna be destroyed by nuclear warfare

 

[Clear]

Kill this thread already. Its not going anywhere productive.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Sony doesn't have the money to pull off what MS is doing

 

[Badlucktroll]

(Microsoft to Sony suddenly)

 

[kikii]

cry me a river over CoD ? aww

 

[Nikana]

In before the lock.

Will they start buying everything though?

Now that MS have like 35 development teams, they can launch a game nearly every month which has been there goal.
Is more exclusive content really necessary?

I still get to play Horizon, GT7 and GOW this year on my PS5, life is good yet
