I’ve been saying this for a while but will repeat, Microsoft are playing a different game to Sony now. Sony are still carrying on like nothing’s changed, and they will get left behind very quickly.
Gamepass (and other similar services) is the future, generations have already ended, and the future of the home console as the main way to play will be short lived. Technological advances will be available in data centres not Gamestops.
I don’t know if these games will be exclusive, but I hope not. It would perhaps teach Sony’s irritating fanboys some much needed humility, but it wouldn’t be the smartest decision, and isn’t fair on the Sony fans who aren’t annoying fuckwits.
I expect at least they will be on Xbox, Nintendo and PC if they want to teach them a lesson, but I hope to see GamePass of PS5 (and certainly Sony smart TVs) and everyone able to play everything, everywhere.
I buy all consoles at the moment, and not having to do that to play everything is hugely appealing, and how it should be.
