Too many great studios to remember.

Sony, we know the quality the studios currently under their umbrella are capable of. A lot of Microsofts haven't shipped a good game in a while , some of them ever. The bethesda studios are a boost but still we are yet to see what comes from them after Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo which are both still exclusive to Ps5

Who said they were my dreams? Don't give a shit about this console warring crap. Up until last gen I owned all systems from all parties. Only went XBox this time because I liked (past tense) Halo and haven't had the free time like in the past. Going PC this gen and maybe XSX and PS5 down the road if I see something I want and likely will get a Switch next gen for my son in a few years. Already got NES and SNES mini. I play what I like and don't care about this console warrior bullshit.Good luck with your unreachable dreams.

So it's kind of silly to blame Microsoft for not being able to woo them.

I normally agree but Bethesday was doing fine as a third party publisher, this is a move that mostly makes games unavailable on other systems not PC/Xbox, it would be like Sony purchasing SE

It's like Visari thinking they can defeat the ISA now because they have super weapons.

The last game I have played from one of those studios is Fallout 4. I was bored after about 10 hours.
I think the most interesting studio is Tango Gameworks. But again I didn't even finish TEW1.

Yep, exactly.

Pretty sure Nintendo won the 360/PS3 era and are comfortably wining this one.

That's what you want, tons of people love tons of story in their game.
Stop trying to make the fact that it's not to your personal taste a objective issue.

After the Gamecube they focused on a different part of the market. They won the younger gamers market and the casuals in the Wii era.

Impressive line-up.
Imagine thinking Rare and 343 is impressive.

red = bad, boring broken games, pc only or too niche (ESO)
green = 4x damn good studios, talent ... no clue about The Initiative yet
Out of 23 studios, only 4 to 5 interest me. The rest outputs garbage (Compulsion Games), boring RTS, PC only so far, broken, unfinished games (Grounded) or the same ones since 2001.

Microsoft doubled their AAA output with that one purchase today and I can't say enough how much games like Doom increase the quality of their first party output.Impressive line-up.

Nintendo are one generation behind mate. They aren't even in this race.

Quality over quantity. Sony all the way.
More studios Microsoft buy the less likely we will see as many AAA budget games from them.
All it takes is one title to sell a system. Microsoft simply don't have anything to get me to purchase the XSX.
Halo did get me to purchase an OG xbox and 360. Not the same quality now.

Maybe you should attack the statement and not the person with tired, generic insults.

Bend has potential to grow to AAA this gen. I would consider Insomniac a big studio too.
Japan Studio has almost shrunk into being completely irrelevant, but I could see Sucker Punch grow into a 2 team studio.
Since both ND and SSM also have 2 teams, I think Sony has more than enough output (counting smaller studios that make non-AAA games too).

Wait, how are Nintendo winning this one? They aren't. They still have another 50 million sales to do.

This acquisition was absolutely massive, MS is now in a very solid position when it comes to First Party Studios for sure.
However, I truly dislike this type of practice as I would rather see them (or Sony or any other company) actually building studios and IPs from the ground up.

Still competing with the other two for people's money so it's very much the same race.

They ar still selling more than Sony in the same time period and are absolutely destroying them and everyone else when it comes to software sales.

When people talk about winning a generation it's almost always about who sells the most hardware. Nintendo are performing better at the moment but PS4 is on its way out. They might be outpacing PS4 but maybe they will plateau? We don't know. All we know is they haven't won the generation because they're still at about half of PS4's sales.

At this point it isn't even a competition Xbox has a significantly superior studio line up, on top of a far more premium stable of iconic franchises. Sony went from being the undisputed market leader with their infrastructure and franchises to now just being a participant in next generation, talk about a fall from dominance.
They lost the console power, the services, and now they lost their edge in games.

Hardware sales isn't where the money is though, it's in software and Nintendo dismantles both Sony and Microsoft there.

It's all wait and see on ms's side. They have a fair number of good and promising studios but ms themselves doesn't have the best track record with handling studios and the ones they bought are shells of themselves under them.
With Sony we know what we are getting since they been nurturing their studios for generations now.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
The answer is the same as it was last week
The purchase of Bethesda makes little difference.
They have some good studios that make games like DOOM and then they have studio's that make stuff like FALLOUT 76
Never really been a fan outside of DOOM and TEW but I heard so many bitching threads about them for years I find it funny people are praising them all of the sudden
