An acclaimed Xbox exclusive is going multiplatform this year

@The Mad Titan

I want you to get yourself checked for multiple personality disorder. These last few replies from you are quite revealing into your psyche.

I keep telling you son, you know a man by his actions - never his words. Everybody on this board knows you’re a Super Stanley, yet for some strange reason you don’t see yourself as one.

Why would I care what platform you play a game on?

Y'all need to touch grass and p*ssy.

Who exactly are you kidding here? We all know you’re a hardcore xbot and this shyt is eating you up. No need to act otherwise

“Why would I care”

I think MS would be ready to leave the hardware business right now, as in immediately stop manufacturing Series Xs and maybe only sell Series Ss for a couple more years, if either Sony or Nintendo agreed to let GamePass on their console, in all honesty.

Sony and Nintendo would never allow that.

Microsoft has probably been the most forward thinking company in all of this. I know they get mocked here but they were right. When they brought their games day 1 to PC the console fanboys threw a fit but they were right to do it.

The whole buy our box to get game X business model is trash to begin with. The Japanese companies really pioneered that and or copied it but in the high end game market AAA games are starting to cost too much money to make to limit and restrict the audience they can sell to. You can't be spending $200-$300 million on a game to then go we're going to cut off millions of potential customers to try to maybe boost our ecosystem.

Meech and Titan were also right that eventually these Sony exclusives will more than likely come to PC day and date. I argued with them tooth and nail but I was wrong there. The way it happens is PlayStation+ on PC. It will have it's own launcher and probably have a game store in that launcher that lets you buy say Spider-Man 3 on PC day 1 restricted to Sony's service and or launcher.

I just wonder how all the people mocking Xbox fans for the death of exclusives will deal with that.

First off, saying somebody is right about something that hasn’t happened is wild -

Next, The problem with this is, the people who want said exclusives have already bought the hardware. Do you really some dramatic increase in sales from what it is now ?

The people who are maybe Xbox fans and were impressed with Last of Us gameplay - they’ve already bought a PlayStation to play it (Titan)

Same thing happened with PlayStation fans who maybe wanted to play starfield - (Gizmo)

I’m sure there are extreme cases you can point to, but I don’t see sales skyrocketing to the point where they make that big of difference - the pc guys at this point just feel like they will wait anyway …

Keyword here, THEY were right to do it. Not because of it's the best thing to do overall, but for THEMSELVES they had to do it because their product quite frankly wasn't attractive enough to sustain itself on their own platform. You think Nintendo is thinking of putting Smash Bros or Zelda on PC or Playstation? They only did it on mobile and even then it's just an inferior version of games that doesn't hold a candle to the real thing.

Sony puts older games on PC after some time so that it can get some new sales but the bulk of its sales were on its own platform. It's not that they may NEVER put their games on PC day 1, it's more so imo something that may happen if their game sales/console sales were to start dropping hard and then they'd have to pull a MSFT and start dropping shyt day 1 on PC.

I can bet a dollar that if MSFT was the one outselling PS5 3:1 and were hitting 20M units sold on a good chunk of their exclusives we wouldn't even have Halo or other Xbox games on PC even entertained. I don't believe for one second anyone believes MSFT were putting these games on PC out of good will or because it was some superior strategy for $$, it most likely was because shyt wasn't moving like they wanted to on Xbox alone hence why they moved it to PC day 1. I can bet that IF/WHEN AAA Sony 1st party exclusives come out on PC day 1, it would also coincide with a weaker generation/sales leading up to that.

MS thought/thinks they can turn the brand into netflix for games but the only problem with that you got to produce content for people to sub.

Hi fi on Switch.

That's where that game really needed to be. It's perfect for on the go gaming.

 

[ColdSlither]

Hi-Fi Rush and Ori was crazy successful on Steam. What yall nikkas live in a bubble Jesus

More reason why Hi-Fi Rush should have been on PlayStation and Nintendo too.

I think it's possible if Sony and Nintendo get their cut in subscriptions. Also, a stable platform to play these games on is still needed. I think exclusive is going to change from console only, to console and PC
