@themaladroit I don't think most of the money came from Helldivers 2. I'm not sure if this is true, but I saw someone claim that $700 million was from that game (including Xbox sales).
Since the next PlayStation will be pretty expensive compared to the PS5, we'll just have to wait and see if they can pull in the additional console users from PC that they desire. If not, then I think they'll go back to doing PC ports.
@themaladroit $2 billion is nothing to scoff at, though. And who knows if they'll be able to make that back with additional console sales. I think it's clear the real reason why they're doing this is because the next Xbox can play PC games
@carlos82 There were rumors that Sony was planning to do the same thing with God of War: Ghost of Sparta by putting it on Switch. But it seems they changed their mind on that, perhaps in part because both it and Lego Horizon aren't very good games.
Worth noting that Kiwi Talks hasn't gotten anything right as a leaker (just search his name up on the GamingLeaksandRumours subreddit), and a Guerilla dev themselves said that it was Sony's decision to bring the game to Switch.
"And all of this has come at the cost of its console ecosystem: there’s a growing sentiment that the PS5 has not lived up to expectations, with the lack of true exclusive titles often cited as a key contributing factor."
What cost? Sony has been gloating the past few years that the PS5 is the most profitable console they've ever released, and they've also touted record-breaking console sales. The PS5 is only barely behind the PS4, and those criticisms you mentioned are nothing more than passing sentiments you see from the occasional Internet addict. The PC strategy hasn't actually had a material negative impact on PlayStation console sales.
That is, unless you were expecting the PS5 to beat the PS2 in sales or something. Which will never happen.
Schreier's sources "cautioned that things could change in the future due to the unpredictable nature of the video-game industry and that Sony’s plans are constantly shifting."
Something tells me that, after Sony fails miserably to increase PlayStation console market share by a significant margin, they'll go back to doing PC ports 5 years from now.
This is not gonna go the way they think it is, especially not when the PS6 will be more expensive than ever before.
@IOI No, I wasn't referring to you, I completely agree with you. I was referring to others who make such excuses, which you can see in this comment section
@IOI If Sony shut down Santa Monica or Naughty Dog, people would still find a way to say "all these people complaining should have bought their games." Problem is, in Bluepoint's case, they didn't release any games under PlayStation to begin with. Their last two releases, Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, were both commercial successes, so you can't really blame fans for Sony mismanaging and shuttering the studio
@UltimateOtaku91 I dunno, I think Xbox making their tentpole games 1 year timed exclusives would be a good idea. They'd still eventually put the games on PlayStation, but at the same time they would also give people at least a minor reason to buy an Xbox or both an Xbox and a PlayStation.
I highly doubt Xbox will abandon their multiplatform strategy entirely, but unless Sony starts putting most of their games on Xbox, taking a timed exclusive approach to future Halo, Gears, etc. games would make sense to me and would encourage competition. You clearly do not need to put games on PlayStation (or Xbox) day-one in order to make money on the platform. Just look at Forza Horizon 5, which sold really well despite being a 4 year old game, and compare that to Doom: The Dark Ages, which had underwhelming sales on PS5.
@lazarus11 I understand, but when you only have two full-time staffers who are probably busy with other things and don't have the time to write an article due to time zones and whatnot, it makes sense why Pure Xbox is sometimes late to the party compared to Push Square. Maybe they should hire more people from other timezones, and not just the UK.
@LogicStrikesAgain Yes, that is true. I don't think they're gonna abandon their multiplatform initiative. But if what she's saying is true, it seems she does want to focus on Xbox consoles. So I don't think the hope for a next gen Xbox is dead
@Shepherd_Tallon @LogicStrikesAgain @UltimateOtaku91 You should always take everything a CEO says with a huge grain of salt, but it's worth mentioning some of the things that Asha said, which Push Square didn't mention in this article:
"Second, the return of Xbox.
We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years, and to the developers who build the expansive universes and experiences that are embraced by players across the world.
We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console which has shaped who we are. It connects us to the players and fans who invest in Xbox, and to the developers who build ambitious experiences for it."
So, to me, it doesn't sound like they're planning to get rid of Xbox consoles
@PuppetMaster If that was the case, then they wouldn't be bringing the majority of their games to Xbox. Highly doubt it has anything to do with audiences.
As for Bloober, I don't think you read the article from Pure Xbox that I linked. Bloober Team said that they signed a contract with Konami to make a game for PS5, Xbox, and PC. It being multiplatform is already set in stone. Unless they're working on some other mystery game that isn't related to Silent Hill, this basically debunks your argument.
@PuppetMaster Rather than there not being an audience for Silent Hill on Xbox and Nintendo, I think it's more likely that Sony moneyhatted both Silent Hill 2 Remake and Silent Hill Townfall, since they were both announced at the same time a few years ago.
Sony probably signed a deal with Konami to make these two games exclusive a few years ago, and although Konami would prefer to put their games on all platforms (as they're doing with MGS, Darwin's Paradox, Castlevania, Suikoden, etc), they're contractually obligated to make these titles exclusive for the time being.
There's no mention of an exclusivity deal anywhere on the Silent Hill website, but then again, there was also no mention of an exclusivity deal when Nioh 3 was announced, either. Only a few weeks ago did Sony confirm that a deal was in place for that game.
Judging by the number of reviews it got on the Xbox Store, it seems like Silent Hill 2 sold pretty well on Xbox, at least for a game that got absolutely no marketing whatsoever.
It also doesn't seem like Silent Hill 1 Remake will be a PlayStation exclusive, since Bloober Team confirmed a while ago that the next game they're making with Konami will be released on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
@Jay767 To be fair, all of these games are also coming to Xbox and PC (in some cases Nintendo), except for Fishbowl due to being an India Hero Project game. So these particular games are not things that Sony is specifically investing in.
Sony is definitely trying, and succeeding, at dominating on most fronts, though.
@StitchJones If Steam is indeed available on the next Xbox (not sure it will be, I still have major doubts about this whole idea from Microsoft), then rest assured Microsoft and Sony will do absolutely nothing to prevent Sony games from being playable on it.
There is no way Sony would try to block their games from the Nexbox, since it wouldn't impact them negatively in the slightest. Buying Sony games via Steam on Xbox would be no different than buying them on PC.
@PuppetMaster I don't think this is a timed exclusive, seems like Sony has the marketing rights for the game because they haven't outright said it will be exclusive to PS5 or that PS5 is the only platform it will be on. Heck, they didn't even release a trailer for this game on the Konami channel. They're only using the trailer available on the PlayStation channel.
Seems to me Sony is doing what Microsoft did with Persona 3 Reload and the other Atlus games a few years ago, where they had an embargo to prevent Atlus from announcing other platforms aside from PC and Xbox. PlayStation fans were really pissed about that.
I doubt Konami would release an anime style JRPG exclusive to PS5 without even a PC port.
@Jay767 Sony funded the original Kena game as well as Death Stranding, FF7 Remake, Helldivers 2, etc. and yet they're still on Xbox. So no, if there's a timed exclusivity deal for this game then it may be possible for it to come to Xbox without Sony being directly involved. Just like with Death Stranding.
That was absolutely fantastic, easily the best State of Play in years. Leagues better than that awful PlayStation Showcase they held in 2023, where they announced Fairgames and the Gran Turismo movie.
Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. Interested in most of the games here.
I'm surprised it's not available on PC. Though it was a shadow drop so I assume they prioritized the PS5 version first. Wonder if, when this does probably come to PC, Sony will port it to Switch, as well.
@Northern_munkey In Japan, there are literally vending machines that sell used panties from teenage schoolgirls. Although they're mostly banned these days, stuff like this isn't really new. This was referenced once in Yakuza 0 btw.
@Scottyy There were/are still a lot of people on the Final Fantasy 7 and PlayStation subreddits insisting that Part 3 will "definitely" be a timed PS5 exclusive because Sony signed a deal for the entire trilogy (which has never has been confirmed, and doesn't actually exist).
@Shepherd_Tallon I heard that game has apparently been cancelled because they didn't have enough of a budget. Not fully sure, though, I don't think the devs provided any official statements about this
@somnambulance It does kinda look like AI though. I believe the devs behind that Street Racer remaster used AI for their cover art, so it made me think that is also the case with this collection.
@Oram77 Seriously, these Chinese games look way too damn similar. Either they're anime gacha games or grim wuxia soulslikes. Like, if you told me these were screenshots from Phantom Blade Zero, I'd believe you.
Look, I get this sort of historical fantasy wuxia stuff is really popular in China, but I really wish we could get a big budget AAA game set in modern-day China; sorta like the Yakuza series, but not necessarily gang-related and with less fantasy. Sci-fi/cyberpunk would be good, too, I suppose.
East Asia is such a big part of the gaming industry, but there are a shockingly few number of AAA games set in modern-day East Asia. At least not ones that aren't anime-style or whatnot.
@UltimateOtaku91 Exactly, I kinda dislike these PR responses. Just admit that it's a Microsoft decision
@TrollOfWar Yes, maybe some PlayStation developers would like to see their games on Xbox and/or Switch (hence why some Guerilla Games devs expressed their excitement on Twitter that Lego Horizon was coming to Switch), but you aren't gonna see anyone from PlayStation actually say that.
Isn't it funny how you only see Xbox devs talk about how they want to make their games available to as large an audience as possible? Never saw devs from Sony Santa Monica or Nintendo say anything along those lines. Gee, I wonder why...
Oh, and not sure I'd say PS5 would be the "biggest destination" for Fable. It might sell best on the platform, but it'd probably have more players on Xbox or PC, due to Game Pass.
@PuppetMaster Microsoft hasn't sold any games at $80 yet. They tried to with The Outer Worlds 2, but they changed their decision after the pushback. And considering FH6 is also $70, it seems they won't be doing $80 games in the near future.
@themightyant Kinda butting into this discussion late, but the 3DS was actually kinda a disappointment for Nintendo commercially. It sold around 75 million units, which while great on its own, was just half of what the Nintendo DS ended up selling. Remember, that console sold around 150 million units. Nintendo lost a lot of players during the 3DS/Wii U generation, which is why the Switch was exactly what they needed.
@Frmknst That's not true in the slightest. When Oblivion was first released, its graphics were considered cutting-edge at the time, and it was one of the technical showpieces for the Xbox 360. Modern Bethesda games may not be lookers, sure, but let's not pretend as if early Bethesda games were bad-looking for their time.
