@S1ayeR74 You may not be old enough but the original Xbox president was just a straight up d*ck and would openly talk trash. Think of a certain former US president.
@OneWingedAngel Interesting, I was assuming SE was way bigger than that. But regardless, Sony can't spend half its market cap on a company like Activision or a Take Two.
@Jayofmaya Great isn't it? Over here in the U.S. so many trained to think that this is the way things should be and squashing competition is great. Hell, they cheer for it.
@MaccaMUFC Sony in no way has the cash resources to match what MS is doing in acquisitions. And Sony didn't take Spider-Man off Xbox. They never had a SM game. Marvel came to Sony to create a new series and knew Sony had more talented studios.
@S1ayeR74 I think you need to be reminded that Xbox started the whole PlayStation has no games taunt back in the 360 days.
And to the point, Activision games are still playable on other platforms (for now), and I seriously doubt they slaughter the cash cow that is Call of Duty to make it exclusive. This isn't bringing anything new to the table in terms of original games is what I'm getting at.
@BNAG_Gamer I'll have to try it the console. I've been able to download them through the website for years. But with the new design of the PS Store it's been no go.

Sony throws stones and MS drops a bomb on their house in retaliation. Totally rational response. Keep using that excuse.

Haha I understand.

Meh I hate Nintendo, they go out of their way to keep tech specs low so their games can be simple but can still charge big $$$ for them.
Not sure why you'd expect them to make an upscale console at this point. Handhelds forever is likely the future.

Where's Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?
Today's U.S. government doesn't give a damn about monopolistic behavior. They allowed Disney, they'll allow this too.

I unfortunately did last year, debating if I want to keep it now.

Gaming companies cost a hell of a lot more than anime companies. Sony does not have the cash to purchase Square Enix.

Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard
I really don't think Sony is in good shape here. 5-10 years I could see them being engulfed by MS.

You should checkout Pure Xbox. They're practically jacking off to this news and write a puff piece to praise Game Pass every other day

Woke games? Still hung up on Last of Us 2 I see.
Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard
@S1ayeR74
Umpteen exclusive games? Where? Most of those games are still multiplatform.
Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard
@DotM
Yes Sony's aim is to kill it's most profitable sector. Makes a lotta sense. Facepalm.
The Series X is still nowhere to be found either, both PS5 and it are selling like hotcakes.
Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard
Anybody expecting the U.S. to incite antitrust or monopoly hasn't been paying attention. They stopped caring about that a long time ago.

Decorate your hospital with Sonic the Hedgehog. Random much?
Re: July 2021 PS Plus Games Available to Download Now
@lolwhatno
At $30 a year, it's acceptable enough. Nice to have automatic cloud saves in addition to everything else.
But idk if it will ever be that cheap now.
Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2021
I'm excited for Ratchet and Clank, bummed it wasn't a release title.
Eager for God of War too but I just can't see that being released this year despite the estimate.

Re: Sony: PS5 Launch Will Be Online Only, No Consoles Will Be Sold in Shops
Off topic but has anybody been able to claim Bugsnax for PS5 or any of the free PS Plus games this month for that matter?
They either still show full price for me or in the case of Bugsnax show no way to acquire at all.
Re: Interview: Asking After The Procession to Calvary, One of the Strangest Games on PS4
Only thing it's missing is voice acting. But other than that, it is delightfully weird.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
If there ever came a time where Playstation went belly up do you think Sony would make games for XBox?
I personally think Sony's franchises would disappear should that day ever come and it would suck.
