@Shepherd_Tallon Sony doesn't really have the IP or desirable games to compete wtih Nintendo, even they know this which is why they spend so much time and resources moneyhatting third party content
I mean seriously...an exclusive quest for Harry Potter?
Sony really needs to just bend and knee and allow Game Pass on their platform, it isn't like PS + is ever going to be a real competitor especially with MS gobbling up and taking away publishers
Playstation has lost Bethesda, Activision (except COD) Blizzard (except Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, you can be your ass that new Blizzard Survival game will never see the light of day on Playstation)
COD on Playstation...what does that tell you? One of the biggest money makers on Playstation is owned by their primary competitor, MS gets to dictate the terms. Yeah Sony has Destiny which is a big IP but no where near the likes of COD, Minecraft and Diablo
How long before MS buys Sega? There goes Sonic, Yakuza and Persona and all Atlus games from Playstation
Embracer Group? Bye bye Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and all the other 8 bajllion IP's that Embracer owns
@UltimateOtaku91 MS own CEO has stated they aren't making concessions so no, MS hasn't signed anything nor will they
"GAMES" yes keyword GAMES, not franchises, not series, not IP's meaning new games would be exclusive, just like Hellblade 2, just like Outer Worlds 2, just Elder Scrolls 6
So yes, new games will be exclusive regardless of weather they'd existing IP's or not. Sony only has themselves to blame for failing
It is going to be weird, Crash Spyro, Tony Hawk etc games that made the PS1 no longer on the Playstation platform and exclusive to Xbox.
Sony doesn't have the money to compete, they can only afford low tier studios like Haven, Housemarq, Savage Games.
Even when they bought Bungie for $4B they have to keep them multiplat because they can't afford the exclusivity, Sony badly needs the $$ from the Xbox player base, where MS can easily afford to starve Playstation
@UltimateOtaku91 Matt Booty has already confirmed all brand new Acti Blizz games will be exclusive, and MS will likely pull COD off Playstation once Sony's market share plummets
We are witnessing the end of Playstation, either they go 3rd party, or get bought out by Apple or Google

Re: Microsoft, Sony Signed Agreement to Keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for 'Several More Years' Beyond Current Contract
@UltimateOtaku91 Playstation isn't Nintendo, Playstation has nothing that can come close to Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing
Re: Microsoft, Sony Signed Agreement to Keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for 'Several More Years' Beyond Current Contract
Called it, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Skylanders, Guitar Hero are pretty much done on Playstation
I can see MS letting COD stay as long as Sony drops the cross play fee they charge publishers
