Re: Analysts Expect PS5 to Extend Lead on Xbox Series X|S in 2023

@Northern_munkey i agree bout digital. If i can get it cheaper digital i go digital, otherwise physical. Always physical for PS5 exclusives. Yes the cartridges probably cost more to produce than Blu Ray discs that a computer copies onto in seconds. But games cost far more to create today. TLOU 2 for example cost over $100 million dollars to make. Games back in cartridge days cost a few grand.

@vyseofhr the proper way to do that would be to actually “compete” with Sony, make AAA GOTY quality games for Xbox. Not simply throw their huge wallet about an buy all the top selling devs an add nothing to them. Just continue making the same games as they did before Microsoft came along. How long have MS owned Bethesda now an there’s not been a single new game. I know Starfield is on the way but that game was already in development long before MS came along, MS added nothing to it. Sony acquire devs an along come games like The Last of Us, Uncharted, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, etc.

@Member_the_game exactly the same mate. Got Series X for Game Pass, that’s it. I did buy Elden Ring on it as that was before i got my 2tb extended storage on PS5 an my PS5 was full up. Bought Left 4 Dead too just because i’ve heard it praised an wanted to try it. I own about 35 physical PS5 games an 2 physical Xbox game for Series X. Never paid for a digital game on Xbox either, got a few paid for digital games on PS5.

@cburg i think the thing that winds folk up is Microsoft can’t compete. They’re simply not as good as Sony are at making AAA games. If Xbox released 5 exclusive games in the next year that were all incredible, 100% on the same level as games like TLOU, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, etc, everyone would love this. But Microsoft can’t do this so they’re simply trying to buy their way to the top. They’re the Manchester City of video games!!

@Deityjester it is still wat they do. MS pay to make things exclusive to Xbox. Sony have more to offer as games sell way more on Playstation so companies are willing to give Playstation exclusive content. If in the next 4 years Series X had a bunch of new, Xbox exclusive games an they were on a par or better than PS exclusives then Xbox would do better. But they won’t as they’re not as good as Sony devs at makin games.
The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted 4, all won GOTY. TLOU2 was ver close second to GoT. Xbox have never had a GOTY, they just buy up already huge games!!

@Deityjester Stalker an Arc 2 ring a bell. They both do that!! Comparing Sony paying for timed exclusivity of a game to MS wanting to buy the company that makes one of the biggest games in the world is hilarious. Wen MS bought Bethesda Phil Spencer said games will remain multi platform, then he said some new Bethesda games would come to Playstation, then he said Starfield won’t come to Playstation, now nothing comes to Playstation. Sony buy small devs, invest, produce GOTY contender games. MS buy already huge, established devs, make the same multi platform games but make them exclusive. Big difference. I do like playing COD Team Death Match an i nearly always buy COD so if it was put on Game Pass that’s a win for me. I still think MS are trying to buy Xbox to the top. They’re the Paris St Germain of video games!!
