This is as close as you can get to Sega being 1st party without being 1st party...


Well it can and will get closer. But... Yeah.

Expect, exclusives, expect a ton of gamepass love and expect more multi plat releases that skipped Xbox to now drop on it
Lol this thread will be bumped every time they announce a game on ps5 or switch

For saying what this is?:gucci:

If you read the article they don’t even mention xbox

I hear you, so what did those other articles you posted explain about the Sony/M$ relationship :sas1:
They are using Azure to develop games from different regions and locations. Same thing Sony and Microsoft are doing

Has nothing to do with xbox or games

Sony says its relationship with Microsoft is ‘deepening’ following cloud tech deal | VGC

Sony and Microsoft to explore strategic partnership - Stories
How did it "deepen" exactly, please tell us how sir :coffee:
That's not what this is about. It's them using Azure to build out their global, online "super-games."
Which isn't possible on PlayStation because they don't have a cloud that's capable of delivering such content... and they never will :banderas:

You could just read the article

"Under the memorandum of understanding signed by the parties, the two companies will explore joint development of future cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure to support their respective game and content-streaming services. In addition, the two companies will explore the use of current Microsoft Azure datacenter-based solutions for Sony’s game and content-streaming services. By working together, the companies aim to deliver more enhanced entertainment experiences for their worldwide customers. These efforts will also include building better development platforms for the content creator community."

I read it and posted it a dozen times minimum here, now that you posted the PR jargon, could you in your own words tell us what that means exactly. Thanks :popcorn3:

It means what it says, Sony is working with Microsoft to use Azure services for their cloud based infrastructure.

If Microsoft buys sega and puts their games exclusively on Xbox/Pc that’s a wrap for sega. Their games sell best in Japan and the japs aren’t going out to buy Xbox in droves to play yakuza. Sega games in the west aren’t really massive either. They sell best on PlayStation and just like the japs, not many PlayStation fans are going out to buy Xbox to play persona 6.
