"Doubt it'll sell well in the grand scheme of things*"
First Psygnosys purchase is used to justify MS buying and making new games from Bethesda/Zenimax exclusive and the desire to do the same for Activision-Blizzard (ignoring how Sony respected the agreement with the small company they bought to still release some titles on competing consoles, as they were a multiplatform publisher before) and now this is picked up as it seems useful for another narrative
.
. I remember Sony sending all their top brass to do podcasts to explain PlayStation was doing fine and it was not a change of course for a console that, check notes, was their first ever console so there was no direction set in stone to defend from ravenous fanboys.
There is no enemy, MS is effectively becoming like EA and any other 3rd party publisher.
It's hard to hate someone footing the bill to get the game made and released and then hand over 30% of the sale.
There are people in thread talking about Sony's 30% cut like it somehow goes to their personal bank accounts lmao.
The "enemy" has several best selling games tho. Didn't they just acquire ABK?
'Current' most pre-ordered of the games available for pre-order, nothing to do with best selling, and overall is quite meaningless as many terrible games (this isnt one of them of course) are also top of this list occasionally.
Yes, yes you can.
After years of "Xbox has no games/Xbox games are shit", to see something as benign as Sea of Thieves racing up the charts on Playstation warrants some shitpostingEh....you are being a bit selective, aren't you? We've got posts bragging about the money MS is going to be bringing in from this as well. And really the entire thread is bragging about an Xbox game's preorders.

Racing up the charts is stretching it a bit, don't you think?After years of "Xbox has no games/Xbox games are shit", to see something as benign as Sea of Thieves racing up the charts on Playstation warrants some shitposting
Xbox diehards truly don’t get this.
Glad you had fun solo. When I played it though, the ships benefitted hugely from having multiple crew members. Otherwise you steer, run around the ship to do something else and then back to the helm again. Let alone if you're trying to fire a canon too! Unless I totally missed something when I last played it? But yeah not for me as a solo experience.
The amusing bit for me. Is that the success only likely further accelerates and secures more releases. And a larger library to choose from can only be a positive for me. Having owned an XSX, to potentially get some Xbox goodies which can then be played using haptics and adaptive triggers, all from one box instead of two. Is great for me.
Sure, but I already said the same.
The xbox vs PS "war" will die eventually. Then it'll be like discussing typical 3rd party games vs Sony 1st party.
PS owners paying for more Day 1 Game Pass content
Keep fighting the good fight!Full third party
Smug
At ease
And 70% of that line is better than 100% of the other line, no?
And only one of these options is sustainable............ hint, its not the "free" one.PS owners paying for more Day 1 Game Pass content
Technically, everybody wins in that pic.
My point, everyone is winning who gets to play a game they never had access to plus MS is making more money than not putting it on PS
Who says the majority of pre-orders aren't from people who jumped ship from Xbox?
And Sony are getting 30% doing not much at all.
Dunno, I think they slowly quit being a platform-holder.
Hence why I said try, also...
Trust me, it wont be long before the narrative is that Sony are the bad guys for not releasing games cross platform and how MS are the saviours of the industry with 'play wherever you like, aren't we nice' (Colt Eastwood will certainly spin it that way)
Again, they are allowing Xbox to cash in on the PS box. There are no losers to Xbox games selling well on PS hardware. Except the fanboys with small dicks. You know the ones, they are the ones that can’t admit it’s good to see an Xbox game sell well on a PS console, or the ones that don’t want Xbox games on PS consoles.
Fair enough.
Well MS 'could' be the losers 'if' their plan is to carry on making hardware, short term gain due to software sales of course, but if a majority of their games suddenly become multi platform that cant do anything but harm hardware sales which would in turn harm their Game Pass subs. If they do indeed plan on becoming a third party (as some suspect) then its absolutely the best and only move to make. Anyway, time will tell what their plans are.
Exactly what I have said on some other threads that MS going multiplatform for even games like HellBlade 2 is kind of a no brainer at this point with how Xbox hardware sales have been and maybe try some sort of reset with nextbox
That whole thing also revolves on how fast Sony keeps porting their games to PC
I have played tons of solo sloop in SoT. It's very doable. I reached Pirate Legend with about a 50/50 split of sailing solo or sailing with a crew. I have taken down numerous Skeleton Forts, Skeleton Fleets, Ghost Fleets, Forts of Fortune, Forts of the Damned, Vail Forts and other world events as a solo slooper. I have also sunk numerous two person sloops and larger ships as well, or out sailed them and got away, as a sloop is way more maneuverable than a larger ship.
I think that since acquired, games like Hellblade 2, Starfield or ESVI were always considered internally and secretly as timed console exclusives.
I think Sony MP GaaS will continue releasing most of them day one on PC, while SP non-GaaS will continue being released at least around 2 years since their original (not counting remasters/remakes) PS release.
I can wait it out, if I wasn't so far along in Hell Let Loose not sure my PS5 would get a ton of love because I ain't starting that grind over on PC
