They desperately need to have a console because none of their other devisions are doing well, meanwhile Microsoft seemingly just has a console for shits and giggles at this point, and then they turn around and buy Bethesda.

What are you talking about? Aside from the gaming console, Microsoft is almost exclusively a software company. Sony is one of, if not THE, Largest hardware companies to ever exist. TVs, headphones, speakers, DVD players, I could go on

TVs, headphones, speakers, DVD players, I could go on Sony's other divisions apparently don't make a lot of money. Their console division is basically their big money maker. https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/04/23/heres-how-sony-makes-its-money.aspx The company's most important business by far is its game and network services segment -- in other words, PlayStation -- as it tops the rankings in terms of both sheer revenue generation and operating profit. Sony's financial services segment is also very important as the second-largest contributor to both revenue and operating profit. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Sony could have bought the Marvel movie rights for pennies but just wanted Spider-Man lol Exactly. I keep saying this in other threads but I dont think people get it. Microsoft not Xbox bought Zenimax. Microsoft will have already made its 7.5 billion dollar investment back by mid 2021. I really dont think console gamers understand just how much of a giant Microsoft is. The only downfall to the buyout, is im hoping Amazon and Google dont start throwing their weight around. Amazon could very easily cut a check for Take Two and make GTA a Luna exclusive. --- I'm not going to help you take advantage of my father. we might not get along but I still love him. ...

Dont need to =/= wont You can believe what you like. Just don't get upset if you end up being disappointed. Microsoft are bolstering their ecosystem and Game Pass. It's more likely these games won't go on PlayStation 5 since that has none of those things. We're on content wars territory now. They've already said they're hoping PlayStation owners will buy a Series S as a secondary console or use xCloud. Gonna be a lot more likely they do that if they are missing out on tons of games. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Okay xbone fanboy.I've never owned an xbox, I just have a xbone controller for PC gaming. I do want the Xbox Series X to beat the PS5, because Sony has been increasingly anti consumer and getting knocked down a peg would force them to change their ways. It would benefit all gamers, even defensive Sony fanboys. I'm glad the PS4 crushed the Xbone because Microsoft needed that lesson back then, but hopefully they're much less successful this time, for your sake and mine. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.
