There have been debates about the significance of first party exclusives, at least when it comes to PlayStation.
Over 20% of all software sales in Q1 FY20.
i swear to god everytime i read "first party doesnt matter" its from a xbox or pc user,and thats obvious whey they use that argument,the same people who run to post how much games like grounded are the best sellers on steam,first party its important,period
Because nobody stands a chance against MS in checkbook warfare.Starting from PS3, Sony realized that you cant just buy all these third party exclusives

I'm a PC player mainly but I agree with you on the point that it is from Xbox and some pc players. Exclusives and first-party titles have always driven sales and will for a very long time
As someone who switched from a PS4/Xbox player to mostly a PC player I disagree to an extent. I love 1st party games, it's the sole reason why I'll be buying a PS5 is exclusively because of their 1st party output.
Counterpoint to why I won't be buying any Xbox console is cause I can play all their games on PC.
PC+PS5 will be my personal combo next gen.
It's time to add to 1st party.... they need a big shooter, an MMO and a Skyrim style game....
So buy Bethesda, make Doom, Elderscrolls and all the rest 1st party. The sales potential is there.
Can still publish some of them on PC after 2 or 3 years.
Fanboys have the craziest dreams.It's time to add to 1st party.... they need a big shooter, an MMO and a Skyrim style game....

Money wouldn't be an issue but Zenimax willingness to sell....Fanboys have the craziest dreams.
”just buy Bethesda, no big deal.”
Imagine, people could be buying xboxes for this game right now (maybe not this late in the gen, when a console has no momentum it's harder to get people to jump in for one game).i swear to god everytime i read "first party doesnt matter" its from a xbox or pc user,and thats obvious whey they use that argument,the same people who run to post how much games like grounded are the best sellers on steam,first party its important,period
I don't think it's 1 in 5 over the whole 7 years. In January Sony said they sold 1.15 billion games and 106 million consoles. That's 11 games per owner. Someone added the known sales numbers of the PS4 exclusives by that time and it was something like 1,2 out of 11 or so and 0,X if you pull off all the PS3 remasters. Would be interesting to see the total numbers when the gen is over. I think TLOU2 and Ghost can sell 15 million together on Ps4.1 in 5.
Who the hell has tried to suggest console exclusives don't matter?
What kind of moron said that?
Instead of buying studios, I would like to see them funding new ones to create new IPs like a new big shooter (or Resistance haha), WRPG and stuffIt's time to add to 1st party.... they need a big shooter, an MMO and a Skyrim style game....

This. I think Sony would be clever to produce more Digital Editions this year.That digital ratio is crazy. Physical is officially dead.
Yeah, they have a new studio at San Diego and some studios have expanded and built new teams....Instead of buying studios, I would like to see them funding new ones to create new IPs like a new big shooter (or Resistance haha), WRPG and stuff
Anyone who thinks 1st-party exclusives don't matter should try telling Nintendo.

Doubt it. Once people get couch potatoes they stay couch potatoes. Also in some countries it already was > 50% without COVID. UK for example if i remember correctly.It's just the impact of COVID. I'm curious if that ratio will remain once shit goes back to normal someday.
Had no idea about the new San Diego Studio.Yeah, they have a new studio at San Diego and some studios have expanded and built new teams....
I just want them to make an aggressive move and Doom marine would be very iconic as a platform mascot.
So pretty much every PS4 is connected to the internet going by that MAU.
Sony became one of the most reliable publishers, hit after hit once things got going this gen.
Wonder how 3rd parties feel about Sony 1st party games taking all the sales revenue? 3rd parties already have to give Sony 30% of their profits only to see them use that money and compete against them if the full price market. By putting all their 1st party games into Gamepass Microsoft for the most part is giving 3rd parties the full price retail market to themselves.

maybe its yours,because i never have seen that .dont get mad sonWhen the PS4 didn't have great first party support and it was still selling well I used to hear all the time about how exclusives don't really matter.
That's the problem with this industry, we have selective memory.

They aren’t buying Bethesda, just like they weren’t buying Take-two.It's time to add to 1st party.... they need a big shooter, an MMO and a Skyrim style game....

You can see why they went with two SKU’s with the PS5 now. They probably wanted to do all digital but I imagine there would of been a large backlash.That digital ratio is crazy. Physical is officially dead.
Didn't say they were but I would like them to.... they could if they wanted and it would fit very well. It would grow both companies because it would make PlayStation an even more essential purchase to holdouts on other platforms....They aren’t buying Bethesda, just like they weren’t buying Take-two.

You wanted to play MGS, FF7, Resident Evil, u had to get a PS One.
