Corporate Sony is incredibly dysfunctional, and has been for decades. PlayStation has been successful despite the corporate influence, not because of it. I highly doubt they will ever be able to flex this kind of spending. But I also think Microsoft has greatly over expanded itself here, and I suspect we will see EA style studio consolidation at some point. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7 9750H, RTX 2080 Max-Q, 32 GB DDR4 2666 ...

The thing that worries me is that there is no way Microsoft has enough resources to have all of the studios they've purchased be working on projects simultaneously. Especially if they want to maintain the approach of always publishing things on game pass. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7 9750H, RTX 2080 Max-Q, 32 GB DDR4 2666 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sony loses the ability to sell future Call of Duty titles or whatever it's called, on their systems now, right? They're absolutely fucked.

Especially if they want to maintain the approach of always publishing things on game pass. Get the livejorunal outta ya system:). Xbox's spending money is directly coming from the top, they have access to the big checkbook and don't have to justify why they're spending what. MS want gamepass subscription everywhere and so far they're getting it. The Xbox team can spend money right off of the Azure, MS Office, System Center(shit last time I looked at the numbers it was $3000 per CPU core in a data center) and Windows enterprise subscription money printer. Sony decided to pay a few key devs and try to pay for timed exclusivity with Bethesda and a few others. MS just decided to show them what can happen when a 2.5 trillion dollar company decides to throw money around. Doom_Art posted... Which is a shame because Sony is pretty solid with its single player narrative titles Sony used to have all the good 3rd party games, until they priced PS3 out of the fans' reach and for some reason fell out with Japanese devs. I think the Japanese market really just wanted to cash in on Nintendo's resurgent popularity after the Wii. In any case, Xbox has a better platform and especially for historical games. Nintendo has over 99% of the essentials that wouldn't come to Xbox/PC. There's really less and less need for Sony anyway. Their few exclusives will eventually come to PC now. Also, MS has been negotiating a buyout of Take-Two for about 6 months now. --- It's not the end of the world, but we can see it from here. ...

ZevLoveDOOM posted... Microsoft pulling all these baller moves. Sony needs to step their game up! I don't think enough people realize or appreciate the fact that Microsoft's net worth is literally almost 20 times larger than Sony. Sony's entire net worth is about twice what Microsoft paid to buy Activision. They don't have the kind of money to throw around on acquisitions like Microsoft does, which is why they seem to have been focusing more on timed exclusivity and smaller deals that they can afford. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
