Forza Horizon 5 has been played by over 15 million people. Halo Infinite was #2 overall in December NPD, after Call of Duty Vanguard. Xbox is clearly firing on all cylinders currently.
You havent been in the threads where im arguing with cats for years on here
I dont care about who owns what, money, capitalism etc.
This only happens as a result of Sony people talking shyt and making it happen.
The result of today is a product of a decade of carelessness. Nobody that owned anything Microsoft cared until it became some weird war of Stanleys
Thats all money, business and corporation aside. People basically begged a company with unlimited resources to attack them and I've been preaching "just chill" on here. This could have been done way sooner, but Sony dug their own grave with this shyt.
If nobody brought it up I doubt this happens. Microsoft was always cool with just getting their slice of the pie and chilling. They wanted to do crossplay, Sony refused... they wanted to work deals out... Sony refused. The fans talked crazy shyt for no reason... this is what happens.
Like I said, if shyt went 100% left... who do you think would Actually buy Sony? The same way maybe when Microsoft saved Apple? Cats arent really seeing the bigger picture here and its ironic because they are using Sonys own pride against itself
They are gonna lie and act like they are playing nice and shyt but Sony does not want to fukk with microsoft at all. It puts Sony in a real bad spot where they look like pieces of shyt if they dont comply. Its not a matter of what fans like or not now... If sony says fukk them.... they lose all them games... if they comply finally, they rent games from Microsoft. Its a terrible position to be in. They could have just complied for free earlier and traded rights to games.
That's whats so devilish about microsoft saying "we are for the people, arent you?" because now being for the people means paying microsoft. Microsoft didnt really do this out of obligation, they did it to directly corner Sony into complying or remaining stubborn and looking nuts. Microsoft is basically Gaslighting Sony
"oh you made so much money... go you"
"wow your streaming did so good with this exclusive microsoft content"
"we will unlock some features for you now"
"wow you're being so stubborn and wont comply... look at how crazy Sony is everyone"
it is disgusting as fukk, but Sony stans begged for it rememberMicrosoft is so grimey they tried to even partner with Nintendo on some
shyt. I been trying to tell yall to chill. Money doesnt give a fukk about feelings or hype.
Its not gonna stop me from playing Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox or PC. I dont control the tides or care. I play all them shyts regardless of what games are where. But even this fukks up Sonys plan to even begin breaking better deals... they cant afford to coast now while losing money at the same time.
This is actually a pretty thoughtful breakdown. Sony played themselves, M$ was willing to bend the knee and chill and Sony was highstepping.
The problem with all that is that even with Vanguard allegedly being a failure, it was like the top selling game of the year last year in under 2 months. The money ain't going nowhere, in fact it's growing.

Explain what major players Sony stole from Microsoft last gen. Insomniac is the only company I can think of that had Xbox games.

you're even using corporate bs as a bragging point. FH5 has been played by 15mil because it's on gamepass. how many ppl play that game regularly and have spent extra money in doing so.
You talking about NPD in december like it wasnt an anticipated title for years. What does that playerbase look like right now breh? why cant you folks answer these questions???

It’s sitting number 5 on most played games list
Most played games - Microsoft Store
it ain’t no where near dead
I don’t like BRs but I don’t stop people from enjoying what they like. It just took a lot people from multiplayer which I loved. The gun fight mode was dope and they had pretty good maps. I want Warzone to continue to exist and grow but it’s a double edge sword at times.

That whole post was
But big facts tho. Sony has no other choice but to play nice with Microsoft or else they can Thanos snap everything away from them on the PlayStation.
Off the top of my head Microsoft owns the rights to all these games.
Doom, Skyrim, Call of Duty, Destiny, Halo, Gears of War, WoW, Overwatch, Diablo, Tony Hawk, Minecraft, Killer Instinct, Crash Bandicoot
If I'm Sony, I'm getting on the phone with Sega and Capcom, Konami, and Square Enix on some
If Sony doesn't do this soon, PlayStation is going to be in very big trouble. Cause best believe Microsoft is coming for Japan next.
