Death Stranding 2 is not a Sony 1st party, the IP is fully owned by Kojima production, game developed by Kojima production. publishing a game does not make you the owner lol dude...
it cannot be released on PS5, it uses xCloud and it's a cloud based game which means Game Pass needs to come to PS5 or some sort of a streaming app, ps+ is no go
out of the 80 million people who bought the ps5 only 5 million or less bought it cause of "exclusives" while tons of exclusives fail to even hit 0.5 million copies sold, meanwhile multiplats have the highest sales and highest player numbers, consoles do not sell based on games anymore but based on player preference, the ps6 sales will not be affected at all even if it only has multiplats, it'll sell based on player preference. the exclusives sell 100 million units in 2025 is a fantasy and a delusional take
this "shinobi" guy is that same dude who was skeptical about helldivers 2 on xbox and here we are today lol dude doesn't know anything, when sony says they wanna focus on expanding multiplatform strategy you better believe them and not anyone else lol it is over
"But despite Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launching as part of Microsoft’s service, plenty of players are paying for the game on Sony’s system" what a dumb statement lol as if game pass is available on ps5 and people just chose to buy the game, of course they MUST buy the game cause they have no other option especially with how critically acclaimed the game is, THAT is why they're buying it, it's a masterpiece + they have no game pass.
Man look at that headline 😆 anything to avoid saying "delayed to 2026", why can't you just report the news as Jeff grubb said it? if you had news about " Guy was shot dead" You'll probably say "guy happily ascends to heaven" lol
@Andy22385 there are so many games locked to 30fps this generation, unless you're the type that doesn't play much, until dawn remake, dragon dogma 2, the quarry and so on, not to mention that some games ship with "performance mode" that is so inconsistent and you need to switch to 30fps mode for a stable experience.
@EddieGallad dude where is the hate? it's a term used by Mark Cerny in the presentation, he's talking about how everyone inflated the number of teraflops (33), hence "FlopFlation", so the site is just joking, idk how you can't see that??
FLOPSTATION, pssr is confirmed to be faulty and bottlenecking the whole console, old cpu from 4 years ago and rdna 2 gpu, the problem cannot be fixed with updates, mark cerny said "future hardware", rip to everyone who spent $800 on that lol
"giga hit".. dude it's not even on the top 20 most played games lol a giga hit is Marvel's rivals, COD, path of exile 2, GTA V, Dota..etc those are true giga hits. HD2 is just a regular game, it will go back to #55 when people are bored, it already lost 50k players while the update is just 2 days old.

Dude that's a last gen game lol and it's through "boost mode" you mean the ps5 pro is doing what series X has been doing for 4 years? With so many titles running at 4k 120fps and enhanced with boost mode, plus many are graphically enhanced to a remastered game level for free, just one of the many Xbox features. Do not use native and boost in the same phrase, either it's native or not. and clearly it's a last gen game, look at Alan Wake 2, ps5 struggles at 800p upscaled.
► Xbox share down: that means PS share is high? that means Xbox makes more money from those sales
► Xbox share down: that means high game pass subscribers, as confirmed by the CEO, BO6 caused a record breaking subs for XGP
► if xbox shares were up or go up? Xbox makes 100% revenue.
game pass subs
► Xbox not only takes most of the revenue from PS sales, but also from Game Pass's record breaking subs
it's all Win Win Win but only for Xbox.
hilarious clickbait, as 70% of all of those sales goes to Xbox. so who is dominating here? lol in addition to 100% revenue from Xbox consoles and Microsoft store, Xbox also takes 70% from PS5/PS4 and steam. plus the number of game pass subscribers in 1 days was at an all time high like never before, already confirmed that there are more BO6 players on Xbox than PS lol Xbox has never ever been more successful or dominating COD like they're doing now.
@SheerDisappointment not sure what you mean here by this, but why are you saying "save $70 on one game", as if this is the only day one game on game pass, what is this logic?? there are nearly 60 new day one games on game pass, with games like Kunitsu-Gami, indiana jones, frospunk 2, the alters, hellblade 2, bo6, stalker 2, metal slug tactics.. and much much more, people would be saving at least $1000 or more on games in just one year. even if you don't wanna play many games, you'd still be saving tons of money on game pass.
reports has already revealed that there are more people on Xbox playing BO6 than ps, those sales are only physical and duh game pass is a digital service, the big shame is that more than 95% of ps5 owners do not buy sony's 3rd party games. they instead choose to buy multiplats, plus there are no sony 1st party or 3rd party exclusives on the top played games list, this supposed COD sales is in fact a huge L to sony, they're dreaming of a game like this, they're watching COD success hile they shut down a whole studio and its game that both cost $400 million, none of their own games are dominating the most played games charts. this is alarming, they're basically a 3rd party console. all consoles have 1st party games doing well except sony. if they don't figure it out they'll be out of business
@get2sammyb bruhh.. what is this math?? lol Xbox will take 70% of all copies sold on playstation, there is no scenario where this is good for ps, the more they sell the more xbox will take, not to mention that Xbox also takes 70% from steam and 100% from microsoft store + xbox. which means Xbox takes almost all the profits. no scenario is ever good for sony lol low sales low profit, high sales still low profit.
@Jay767 those deals do hurt the industry, because if you take a look at the number of people on ps5 actually buying the "exclusives" You'll find that 98% of them don't buy those games, that console is basically just for 3rd party multiplats, most 3rd party exclusives sell 1 million to 3 million while the other 63 million owners don't care, they're busy playing COD, FIFA, fortnite, GTA and the other big multiplats. if a game is on PC, Xbox, Switch, PS5 it has 100% chances selling more copies than being on ps5 alone.
"fastest-selling PS Studios title" lol since when Arrowhead is a "playstation studio"? giving credit to the "playstation studios" for a game they didn't make, instead you should have said "fastest selling 3rd party owned IP", and this game concord looks so soulless and lame it'll be dead on arrival, devs actually sat down for 5 years to make a clone non original lame game no one asked for lol how can someone see this for 5 years and think it's a good idea LOL
adding zeros does not make it impressive lol that is 0.6 million units sold after 5 months of preorders and sales. at the time there were 38 million PS5 owners, so that is a disastrous number, I'll be very surprised if they don't cancel this product
"The PS5 big guns arrive" LOL is this guy serious? there was 00 first party exclusives announced lol they only showed the same 2 exclusives we all knew about and SM2 still has no release date, 99% of games were PC + Xbox, majority indies lol where are the big guns you speaking about? 99% of 1sft party studios were absent lol
30% are either premium or extra and 70% are basic tier multiplayer paywall that doesn't have a library of games. that means in the Multi Game subscriptions Game Pass has 25 million subs VS only 14 million for PS+.
@TrickyDicky99 I'm not opposed to what Microsoft done with Bethesda cause they didn't remove any game from the PS5, Starfield + Redfall have never been on ps5, but metal gear 3 is on Xbox 360 and Nintendo so why should it be made exclusive to ps5? I will hate Microsoft when they remove a game that exists on ps5 and I wake up the next day to not find it on the store.
@NotSoCryptic that is a very long message but no game has ever been affected, watching Digital Foundry all my life and they never said "the ps5 version looks bad because of the series S" you think games are made for Series S then ported to PS5 lol while games are made on an engine on PC then ported to consoles differently. the Xbox Series version isn't compatible with the PS5, games are not made on 1 console then ported to the other, games are made on an engine on PC and optimized for each console separately. Dead space had no issues, neither did RE4 remake
@Tharsman you're not wrong, Jez did say the game will be multiplatform 10 days ago, that's the newest info he shared but @LiamCroft refuses to correct his article and chose to use an older rumor. unrelated but Tom Henderson now says the teaser doesn't have any release date
@TrickyDicky99 the FF16 director said if they make FF16 for PC it'll take longer to release which is pure nonsense, we're seeing masterpieces like Resident Evil 4 remake and dead space coming out on 3 platforms the same day, they're just a Japanese company who made an exclusivity deal with their Japanese fellows to promote the Japanese console, nothing more nothing less. if they wanted a PC day one release they could've easily done it, if we apply your logic that means no games would ever release on 3 platforms cause it takes so long. now I'm gonna tell you what he really said, he was talking about the PC version, he said it can't be ready in a 6 months, they need more time cause they focused on ps5.
@TrickyDicky99 "Just look at FF16, the director has already said if they had to release it on PC then the game wouldn't be finished yet" that is absolute nonsense, we've seen great games releasing on PC, PS5, Xbox all at the same time, your argument is so wrong, if we apply your logic no games would come out ever on 3 platforms cause it takes a long to make 3 versions. FF16 is made by a Japanese dev who just wants to promote the ps5 even more and they were paid by sony for exclusivity, that's why the pc version won't come out day and date.
@TrickyDicky99 Microsoft isn't making ABK games exclusive, and metal gear is a much older game than COD and is more iconic and making it exclusive isn't a great idea, that's why Konami is making it multiplat, they could've chosen timed exclusivity but they won't ever make games fully exclusive to ps again. it doesn't benefit Konami in anyway, PLUS they're rebuilding their studios and just outsourcing games temporarily, once their studios are ready to make big AAA games they won't give their IPs to any external dev, they'll do multiplatform games like they always had
@KaijuKaiser it's a Konami game, not a "playstation game", Konami + kojima created the game and they own the game and they developed the game. exclusivity will not make it "good" or better in anyway lol that's why there are exclusive flops on all 3 consoles.
@KaijuKaiser there's a fine line between "triggered" and spitting facts. you think locking a massive iconic game to 1 console is good for gaming lol and you think games are made for series s then ported to XSX/PS5 while we've seen all games running perfect on both consoles. MGS3 will be multiplat as it should be and it's great for gaming and gamers
@KaijuKaiser oh yeah you mean like masterpieces like Elden Ring got downgraded and it's a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or Resident Evil 4 remake is a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or dead space remake? etc etc etc.. stop this nonsense that "this is bad!!"
what game is held back and not running great on ps5 and XSX?? all of the great games from top tier developers are running PERFECT on both consoles.
games aren't made for the Series S then ported to XSX/PS5.
they're made on an engine on PC and then ported to consoles, then developers optimize games for each console.
stop this nonsense
@LiamCroft that's an old rumor, in a newer podcast streamed 10 days ago he said it'll be multiplatform. he got new info, go to the r/gamingleaksandrumors to find the post with the podcast timestamps cause I can't post links here. he also said that the exclusivity agreement could be just marketing or a dlc.
@jmac1686 lol that is absurd, PS always shows splashy multiplatform games to generate hype, if your logic was true we would have Sony showcases that are 10 minutes long lol the point of a showcase isn't to show only exclusives
that won't benefit ABK in anyway, they spend that same amount every year on game development, paying staff and all kinda costs you'll see them fighting aggressively to finish the deal even if it takes 3 years. for you as an individual 3 billion dollars is a huge number but for a company as massive as ABK it's not. they'll benefit much much more if they sell the company
it's time for Crying Ryan to stop crying and move on, you buy Destiny 2 which has 44 million users registered, over 300k daily active players. and makes almost $1 billion every year and is always on top 5 most played games on Xbox + PS + PC. if you're so worried then make it exclusive. it makes a ton of revenue for Xbox, so that would be a good counter.
this guy is the biggest hypocrite on the planet saying "our business will never recover if CoD was degraded" meanwhile they've been degrading COD on Xbox for a over a decade, so Xbox business "could never recover" .
the regulators are seeing through his hypocrisy and will 100% approve the deal.
imagine buying Bungie, one of the pioneers of the FPS multiplayer genre and then crying about COD lol
@TheCollector316 1-Xbox is very very very very tiny in the gaming world, they represent about 5% of total gaming studios in the world even with all Activision Blizzard studios. that's why the deal was approved because it's so so so far from being close to "monopoly", you think regulators would allow Microsoft to buy everyone? LOL 2- this deal will benefit everyone: 1- Gamers on PC + Xbox will have the same content as PS. no more degraded-by-exclusive-content COD games. 2- gamers will have choices to pay $70 for each new game or get the games with game pass. 3- gamers will be able to play everywhere, PC, PS, Xbox, Mobile, steam deck, TVs and any platform with cloud supported.
@tallythwack majority of game pass games are triple A games from EA play, Betheda and Xbox studios. game pass had over 100 new games in the last 3 years and they're the highest rated games on metacritic, while it's only $9/month, PS+ premium is $17/month and had only 2 new games in the last 3 years lol both are indie games scoring mediocre 83 and 63 on metacritic lol what a disaster.
I'd rather play high rated game pass games for just $9/month on a $500 console than pay $550 for console then $550 for VR then another $70 per 1 game to play the 79 metascore horizon LOL or $70 for Forclosed the square enix masterpiece with 63 metascore and 1.3 user score LOL
@tallythwack 1- Game pass games have higher scores than the games you call "quality" LOL they're the highest rated games every year. 2- how many new games are there on PS+? absolutely 00 new games lol everything is old. 3- soooo MLB 23 is trash indie? Guardians of the galaxy? monster hunter rise? Madden NFL 23? and 2021 game of the year it takes two? Mass Effect legendary edition? Forza horizon 5? persona 5 remaster? Deathloop? Guilty gear strive? Battlefield 2042 indie? Wo long fallen dynasty? Grid legends indie? F1 22? LOL fanboy blinded by fanboyism
@Eadgar - Square enix is worth $6 billion and their parent company Block.SQ is worth $49 billion, they will not sell their most profitable division to Sony, they will be a nobody without Square enix. - fromsoftware is worth $6 billion and Tencent is the biggest shareholder so they won't allow it, also the most profitable division for Kadokawa they'll be a nobody without it. -Capcom is worth $7 billion, -even Koei Tekmo is worth $6.5 billion. and Sony already has $1.5 trillion in debt so no way they get more loans just to buy a publisher lol don't expect them to buy anything for $5 billion or higher, they will never do it
not even enough for a cheese burger LOL Square enix parent company worth $49 billion, Take two is worth $33 billion since now they merged with Zynga lol they can't buy anything with that lol
@tallythwack I rather rent a game, finish it then uninstall it then play like 60 new games per year on game pass that ar worth over a $1000 than buy and "own" a $70 game and resell it later for few bucks lol you sell it for what? $40? by that time I'd have consumed over $1000 worth of games lol think think
@thefourfoldroot1 you are paying $70 for 1 single game then you have to pay $60/year to play online. those are extra costs lol meanwhile a game pass subscriber paid $120 a year and has a library of 490 games, he paid only $0.05 per game including MLB23 while you paid $70 for 1 game. when he's done with MLB he deletes it and install new games that gets added every month. more than 50 new games are added each month. consuming tons of games at a very low cost is much better than reselling a disc. you sell it for what? $40? by that time a game pass subscriber will consume like $600 worth of games lol

@TrickyDicky99 "Just look at FF16, the director has already said if they had to release it on PC then the game wouldn't be finished yet"
that is absolute nonsense, we've seen great games releasing on PC, PS5, Xbox all at the same time, your argument is so wrong, if we apply your logic no games would come out ever on 3 platforms cause it takes a long to make 3 versions.
FF16 is made by a Japanese dev who just wants to promote the ps5 even more and they were paid by sony for exclusivity, that's why the pc version won't come out day and date.
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@TrickyDicky99 Microsoft isn't making ABK games exclusive, and metal gear is a much older game than COD and is more iconic and making it exclusive isn't a great idea, that's why Konami is making it multiplat, they could've chosen timed exclusivity but they won't ever make games fully exclusive to ps again.
it doesn't benefit Konami in anyway, PLUS they're rebuilding their studios and just outsourcing games temporarily, once their studios are ready to make big AAA games they won't give their IPs to any external dev, they'll do multiplatform games like they always had
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@KaijuKaiser it's a Konami game, not a "playstation game", Konami + kojima created the game and they own the game and they developed the game. exclusivity will not make it "good" or better in anyway lol that's why there are exclusive flops on all 3 consoles.
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@KaijuKaiser there's a fine line between "triggered" and spitting facts. you think locking a massive iconic game to 1 console is good for gaming lol and you think games are made for series s then ported to XSX/PS5 while we've seen all games running perfect on both consoles.
MGS3 will be multiplat as it should be and it's great for gaming and gamers
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@KaijuKaiser oh yeah you mean like masterpieces like Elden Ring got downgraded and it's a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or Resident Evil 4 remake is a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or dead space remake? etc etc etc.. stop this nonsense that "this is bad!!"
what game is held back and not running great on ps5 and XSX?? all of the great games from top tier developers are running PERFECT on both consoles.
games aren't made for the Series S then ported to XSX/PS5.
they're made on an engine on PC and then ported to consoles, then developers optimize games for each console.
stop this nonsense
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@LiamCroft that's an old rumor, in a newer podcast streamed 10 days ago he said it'll be multiplatform. he got new info, go to the r/gamingleaksandrumors to find the post with the podcast timestamps cause I can't post links here. he also said that the exclusivity agreement could be just marketing or a dlc.
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@jmac1686 lol that is absurd, PS always shows splashy multiplatform games to generate hype, if your logic was true we would have Sony showcases that are 10 minutes long lol the point of a showcase isn't to show only exclusives
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
@LiamCroft it's not only insider gaming that said it's multiplat, Jez Corden also said 10 days ago it's gonna be multiplat, how did you miss that?
Re: Activision Poised to Pocket a Cool $3 Billion if Xbox Buyout Breaks Down
@LordBakemono right now you're saying the deal is 100% dead but let's talk after May 😏
Re: Activision Poised to Pocket a Cool $3 Billion if Xbox Buyout Breaks Down
that won't benefit ABK in anyway, they spend that same amount every year on game development, paying staff and all kinda costs you'll see them fighting aggressively to finish the deal even if it takes 3 years. for you as an individual 3 billion dollars is a huge number but for a company as massive as ABK it's not. they'll benefit much much more if they sell the company

Re: Sony Claps Back at UK Regulator's 'Irrational' Reversal on Microsoft Activision Deal
it's time for Crying Ryan to stop crying and move on, you buy Destiny 2 which has 44 million users registered, over 300k daily active players. and makes almost $1 billion every year and is always on top 5 most played games on Xbox + PS + PC. if you're so worried then make it exclusive. it makes a ton of revenue for Xbox, so that would be a good counter.
this guy is the biggest hypocrite on the planet saying "our business will never recover if CoD was degraded" meanwhile they've been degrading COD on Xbox for a over a decade, so Xbox business "could never recover" .
the regulators are seeing through his hypocrisy and will 100% approve the deal.
imagine buying Bungie, one of the pioneers of the FPS multiplayer genre and then crying about COD lol
Re: Sony Claps Back at UK Regulator's 'Irrational' Reversal on Microsoft Activision Deal
@TheCollector316 1-Xbox is very very very very tiny in the gaming world, they represent about 5% of total gaming studios in the world even with all Activision Blizzard studios. that's why the deal was approved because it's so so so far from being close to "monopoly", you think regulators would allow Microsoft to buy everyone? LOL 2- this deal will benefit everyone: 1- Gamers on PC + Xbox will have the same content as PS. no more degraded-by-exclusive-content COD games. 2- gamers will have choices to pay $70 for each new game or get the games with game pass. 3- gamers will be able to play everywhere, PC, PS, Xbox, Mobile, steam deck, TVs and any platform with cloud supported.
Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass
@tallythwack majority of game pass games are triple A games from EA play, Betheda and Xbox studios.
game pass had over 100 new games in the last 3 years and they're the highest rated games on metacritic, while it's only $9/month, PS+ premium is $17/month and had only 2 new games in the last 3 years lol both are indie games scoring mediocre 83 and 63 on metacritic lol what a disaster.
I'd rather play high rated game pass games for just $9/month on a $500 console than pay $550 for console then $550 for VR then another $70 per 1 game to play the 79 metascore horizon LOL or $70 for Forclosed the square enix masterpiece with 63 metascore and 1.3 user score LOL
Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass
@tallythwack 1- Game pass games have higher scores than the games you call "quality" LOL they're the highest rated games every year.
2- how many new games are there on PS+? absolutely 00 new games lol everything is old.
3- soooo MLB 23 is trash indie? Guardians of the galaxy? monster hunter rise? Madden NFL 23? and 2021 game of the year it takes two? Mass Effect legendary edition? Forza horizon 5? persona 5 remaster? Deathloop? Guilty gear strive? Battlefield 2042 indie? Wo long fallen dynasty? Grid legends indie? F1 22?
LOL fanboy blinded by fanboyism
Re: Sony Has Approximately $5 Billion Left for Acquisitions and Investments
@Eadgar - Square enix is worth $6 billion and their parent company Block.SQ is worth $49 billion, they will not sell their most profitable division to Sony, they will be a nobody without Square enix. - fromsoftware is worth $6 billion and Tencent is the biggest shareholder so they won't allow it, also the most profitable division for Kadokawa they'll be a nobody without it. -Capcom is worth $7 billion, -even Koei Tekmo is worth $6.5 billion. and Sony already has $1.5 trillion in debt so no way they get more loans just to buy a publisher lol don't expect them to buy anything for $5 billion or higher, they will never do it
Re: Sony Has Approximately $5 Billion Left for Acquisitions and Investments
not even enough for a cheese burger LOL Square enix parent company worth $49 billion, Take two is worth $33 billion since now they merged with Zynga lol they can't buy anything with that lol
Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass
@tallythwack I rather rent a game, finish it then uninstall it then play like 60 new games per year on game pass that ar worth over a $1000 than buy and "own" a $70 game and resell it later for few bucks lol you sell it for what? $40? by that time I'd have consumed over $1000 worth of games lol think think
Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass
@thefourfoldroot1 you are paying $70 for 1 single game then you have to pay $60/year to play online. those are extra costs lol meanwhile a game pass subscriber paid $120 a year and has a library of 490 games, he paid only $0.05 per game including MLB23 while you paid $70 for 1 game. when he's done with MLB he deletes it and install new games that gets added every month. more than 50 new games are added each month. consuming tons of games at a very low cost is much better than reselling a disc. you sell it for what? $40? by that time a game pass subscriber will consume like $600 worth of games lol
