Holy shit, this is massive. That’s one way to outsell Sony.
They won't sell to Microsoft they would just sell to Sony. No big Japanese studio is selling to Microsoft cultural thing.Personally would have preferred if Microsoft acquired a big Japanese developer like Capcom.
Would definitely have made a huge difference in Japan.
Deservedly so.@CatLady and @Bernkastel win.
On the contrary, every Xbox fan has been telling us MS doesn't care where you purchase their games and they don't want exclusives.If they don't make these IPs exclusive to the Xbox brand... squandered opportunity. Wonder how they'll pivot.
Well, I have no interest in PC gaming, so these games are still exclusives to me.I have one already, so no reason to play Bethesda on console.
Which, IMHO, sucks balls. And Fallout too. I understand that there are people who love them, but I never managed to digest them.
As long as they are on PCs, they are not really exclusive. Isn't that what was said about Bloodborn and other games being release on PS5 and PC?
If they actually made all these franchises exclusive me plus tons of other people would buy the Series S/X but that doesn’t seem like the best financial decision Microsoft can take with ips this big. Although this is an advantage to make all the upcoming games from Bethesda available Day 1 for Gamepass compared to $70 retail for other platforms now that’s a move that would get them a lot of subscribers and profit from selling copies in other platforms as well.That's the only one avowed, fable ect are not going to the PS5. This is the bargaining stage of grief. This is for the Microsoft has no exclusives crowd. Probably forced by halo and money hat Ryan
That's a great question. I doubt it'll still be PS5 exclusive at this point.
If they make these games exclusive, the backlash will be insane.
Though it was no longer as big as it once was, Halo just went from the biggest first party IP, to not even being in the top 5. It is not even the biggest first party FPS now.
What?Yay for monopolies!
Only braindead fanboys would celebrate this.
Lol of course it's MS who is responsible for Xbox's funding but if you believe that Xbox division has unlimited access to MS's money you're naive AF. Because if that was true they would have bought half the industry by now.Awesome.
And I thought naysayers said the Xbox division is so broke making no profits they can't get help from the overall MS corporation for funding?
As one guy said "divisions run separate". LOL
Told ya so armchair internet accountants. It's the parent company as a whole that controls the coffers and where funding goes.
Indeed.Say what you will about how rocky Microsoft has been lately. With a purchase like this, they’re in it to win it, and for the long haul.
It’ll be fascinating to see how this works out. Bethesda is in a bit of a downturn, but Elder Scrolls is still a preeminent name in gaming, with lots of scattered IP and developers under that, and I imagine that whatever Microsoft saw of Starfield, had to be impressive enough to continue their confidence in the buy.
People on Twitter are in total denial. They think Elder Scrolls and Fallout will still go to PS5.
And Deathloop lol. Microsoft is just gonna take that exclusivity money and put in it in there pockets lol
Doubtful, Bethesda weren't bleeding money so it was never a money issue but a dev issue.Now you got 7.5 bill to fix your engine.
Chief needs to get back into the gym.Yup. Doom Guy Vs Master Chief for Xbox mascot. Fight!
Quake too. A franchise I think could make a proper comeback if handled correctly using a Valorant/Siege delivery model w/ classic arena gameplay on PC.Good lort, I didn’t realize they also had Doom.
Well done Sony... you ignored me and everything I posted here..... you fucking absolute morons.
Now you lose.
