Right.

So if a Playstation version was ready and microsoft just hid it, what are they waiting for now?

Game is done and should be out. Why isn’t it out yet?
Cause they axed it stopping development until they later reconsidered when the walls fell down and now are reconsidering putting everything on PlayStation. It isn't out for the same reason Forza Horizon 5 isn't out on PS5 because it's not ready.

What is the platform my guy?
The hardware?
The games?
The brand?

Most people in here are hype off absolutely nothing, something that could happen 7-8 years out at best.

But the truth of the matter if there software can bring in consistent big bucks it's zero reason to abandon hardware unless millions of gamepass users jump ship.
How many quarters in a row can they say hardware is down another 29% before you accept that their hardware is effectively dead? This is Weekend at Bernie's and they're propping up a corpse. Even the hardcore fans are now seeing themselves out.

I can't say I preferred they do this but this is where we're at.

1st and most importantly because 30 million isn't irrelevant.

2nd because selling hardware isn't there only way to make money via Xbox unlike how it is for Sony.

Or I could pay 80 a year for PS+ plus full retail price on PlayStation.


Just to play it on my PlayStation :heh:

You do that anyway when you buy full priced games like Stellar blade and Rebirth on playstation on top of your gamepass membership lmao

and you’re gonna do it even more this year when switch 2 comes out

The Xbox 360 sold like 84 or so million. They've shed like 50 million+ customers from the hardware side. That's worse than Cable TV. They went from 80 million to 60 million to 30 million. The next one will likely be fortunate to do much better than the Wii U at the going pace.
