-So they're trying to put all their exclusive games on PS5 to make more profit. But all of their exclusives flopped.

-Buying a Xbox becomes redundant because no exclusives.

-You could buy a Xbox for Day 1 exclusives on Game pass. But again, the exclusives ain't good.

-They could buy up more studios.....but the talent will just leave.



What are these people doing?

what about Marathon
That was Bungie's decision. Bungie operates as a fully independent studio. Sony gets to take over if they dont meeting certain revenu/sales goals

Bungie will reportedly remain “an independent subsidiary” of Sony Interactive Entertainment after the deal closes, leaving it free “to self-publish and reach players” however it chooses, according to Sony. That’s in contrast to past acquisitions by both Sony and Microsoft which have seen previously multiplatform studios like Bethesda go exclusive.

While Sony acquired Destiny 2 maker Bungie for $3.6 billion in 2022, it repeatedly claimed the creator of Halo and other hits would remain an “independent subsidiary.” Now IGN reports that if Bungie’s sci-fi MMO keeps failing revenue targets, Sony could dissolve its existing board of directors and take full control of the roughly 1,100 person studio.

According to IGN, Bungie’s current post-acquisition board of directors consists of the head of PlayStation studios Herman Hulst, senior Sony VP Eric Lempel, Bungie co-founder Jason Jones, Bungie CTO Luis Villegas, and Bungie CEO Pete Parsons, with Parsons as the tie-breaking decider. That structure is based on the studio meeting certain financial targets, however, and if Bungie continues to fall short of them, Sony will take full control of the long-running shooter maker.

Best believe if Sony takes full control, all bungie shyt going consle exclusive.

This is what yall tell yourselves but sony knows what they purchased. They are trying to extract revenue from all types of different platforms like everyone else, If they wanted exclusive content they would have purchased exclsuive content.

Guess one of us will be proven right. As of right now only one console maker is having a whole podcast to address it's consumers to gently tell them they have a broader vision for xbox and letting exclusives made by Xbox Game Studios go to other consoles. :yeshrug:
