[Peter Parker]

Take-Two is the killshot.

FTC on they ass if they buy anything else

If MS pulls COD from Sony consoles it's a wrap

Will COD stop fukkin with that dusty ass engine they been using for the last 20 years and switch to unreal 5 ?

Microsoft will fukk around and buy Epic games and have ownership of the unreal engine if yall don't start putting respeck on their wallet.

Essentially owning the COD franchise now in addition to acquiring ownership of all things Crash Bandicoot and Spyro….I really do gotta admit as a proud member of PlayStation Nation, it’s truly breathtaking and damn near humbling how Microsoft/Xbox is actually all the way with the shyts this generation We’ll see what Sony is really planning because this shyt’s not a good look at all….Especially selling away two iconic PlayStation mascots at that

Imagine the Microsoft Empire taking Kratos and Cloud next

Sony better have a really good explanation for this shyt.

Thread doing Halo numbers

That's how you know this is a big deal.

See how third party games drive sales on non-Nintendo Platforms. We also do see the top two.

Activision made more money on PlayStation platforms than Sony did this year. 3rd parties drive the bus for consoles. Always have.

Doing some reading, they use some form of iD Tech. Good for them, Microsoft also owns iD.

This is what PS4 sales looked like last gen.

3rd party steers the ship. I think people really don't realize how popular COD really is and now 35% of this list is exclusive to Xbox.

Now Sony has to release its 1st party games like God of War Ragnarok on PC first day.
It's the only thing they can do to keep up

I blame Sony for resting on their laurels and thinking that brand recognition could carry them thru the PS5 with the clear neglect for consumer friendly services and features.

Microsoft has made a great effort to give us solid BC where as Sony said GFY. The game pass speaks for itself. Now these aggressive acquisitions is another nail in the coffin

If I'm Sony, I'm scrambling to do some sort of small, but monumental make good counter attack to restore customer good faith. They should straight up go buy out the tech of any of the popular PS1-3 emulators on PC, give them access to the PS5 source code and have them working on porting their best emulators to PS5 ASAP.

With PS5 running off of x86 architecture, it should be much easier to implement this vs the difficult PS3.

Dont they already OWN epic games?!!?

 

[Lord Bison]

Dont they already OWN epic games?!!?

I don't believe so. But they do own the Gears of War IP. I remember Microsoft outright purchasing the rights to it after they got spooked when it was revealed that Epic had a PlayStation 3 port Gears of War 3 got leaked.

PlayStation wants to die, I'm calling it

Rod Ferg back at Xbox...hell bring back Cliffy B...send my man Marcus Fenix off the right way and let the OG finish the locust/swarm war

 

[Raiders]

We need a new DJ Hero.

I’d buy all the DLC.
