Sony was late to the table on this streaming shyt
What MS is doing is basically buying up shyt to sell gamepass the console is just the tool to use gamepass
If they keep losing games to MS then you can see them losing ground in the future
360/PS3 era was close but they pulled ahead this past decade or so and got complacent

Sony was late on the online shyt, period. The OG X Box had online multiplayer when the PS2 was experimenting with that expensive ass modem. When the PS3/360 era came in, M$ was swag surfing on all the online options, when Sony was :ld: on basic online play.

I gotta wonder if they plan on acquiring more... because that's two big recent acquirements.


Microsoft is going all on gamepass. :whew:


I don't think they would make COD exclusive.. but it will definitely be on GP day 1 and have exclusive stuff

If Sony is smart they start building those abandoned relationships they let Nintendo take over in Japan.

Offer a Japanese version of gamepass

Too late. Sony wanted to be the more efficient version of M$ from the PS3 onward, and abandoned Japan, while Nintendo smartened up with The Switch and took over Japan entirely over the past 5 years.

It was a major gamble when Sony wanted these big budget games like M$ at the cost of the Japanese market. Now, they are shrinking in 3rd party games and have (almost) nothing left.

Nintendo stood by their principles and still :eat: healthy for generations. Sony, not so much.

Thats because sony didn’t “money hat” street fighter, they funded the development cause capcom was flat broke.
I dunno if it was being "flat broke" or "we aren't giving money to ono because he blew SFxT", if they were broke they damn sure made it all back with MHW and the RE's.
