Sony wants to expand "PlayStation Studios games beyond PlayStation hardware" — hiring to partner with Xbox, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and more

[Diunx]

This is probably referring to GAAS and online games. The exclusives will continue to go to PC and I think that's the extent Sony is willing to go otherwise there would be no exclusives to sell consoles. Almost all gamers game on consoles or on the go.

Xbox its pretty much becoming a PC, so yeah except for nintendo (until the emu comed out) exclusive are almost dead.

if the games are good, what's the complaint?

I’ve been saying it for years now.

Sony stan’s gotta find another stan angle.

exclusives are over with

You just know he saw this shyt first but couldn't bring himself to make the thread

Just like he's been skipping the NPDs every month

Hilarious. Sony continues to do more for everyone else compared to PS users.

Just beta testers for Xbox, Switch, and PC

Sony Ponies in shambles.

Making them pay a premium to play the PS version, and then making them pay for online too.

But hey at least the controller has adaptive triggers.

PC day one and I prolly never buy another PlayStation again

Buying any software that is locked to the PlayStation store is just stupid at this point

Following Microsoft into 3rd party will be PlayStation's downfall.

Microsoft can survive without Xbox. Sony without PlayStation?

Sony will be fine, they have music, film and tech.

I love this for Sony, exclusivity is kinda lame as an adult. I'm sure they can make B's off their IP, same way Microsoft can with Master Chief.


Take your heart out of it, it's capitalism

Those game usually need bundles and extreme discounts in order to reach those numbers.

And the games are becoming increasingly more expensive to make.

For example, spider-man 2 cost almost 3 times as much to make as spider-man 1 and has yet to sell as much as spider-man 1.

Sony doesn’t make much money on first party stuff. Which is why they are starting to put their games on other platforms.

What are you basing the games needing bundles and extreme discounts to reach those numbers on? What is your source? That's assuming almost all the sales are off of bundles and discounts. You don't know what percentage of the sales are bundles and discounts. Nintendo also relies on bundles since they never drop their prices yet no one knows what percentage of the sales are bundles other than Nintendo.

The sales numbers the other person posted is from years ago, something the other poster did not say anything about. Very deceptive. God of War Ragnarok surpassed 15 million within a year of releasing. Spiderman 2 surpassed 11 million within a couple of months. Horizon with 8.4 million within a year of releasing. No one other than Sony knows what the current numbers are. Based on the speed at which those games reached those numbers they are on pace to sell or surpass 20 million. The point of that post was to show the other user there are several ps exclusives that sold or surpassed 20 million with a couple on pace to sell or surpass 20 million since they claimed no Sony 1st party sold or surpassed 20 million. Sony does get profit off the games along with other ways of profit such accessories, adaptations, etc.

People championing this are xbots and pc gamers. Not only that, no one knows the extent of Sony's strategy. This could be referring to GAAS and online games. Sony has already done this with a couple of their games yet their system selling exclusives are at worst on pc after timed exclusivity with almost all gamers playing on console or on the go. Of course xbots and pc gamers want this to be all of the system selling exclusives being on all platforms since they are the ones promoting non-exclusivity.

It’s not just what xbots and pc gamers want. It’s what Playstation wants.

This is assuming this is referring to their system selling ps exclusives. This is too ambiguous to jump to that conclusion.

 

[Animal House]

Maybe this will slow down the console wars and focus more on the gaming…. Or maybe not

You pretty much can’t buy sony hardware without one of these games attached.

'Spider-Man' and 'God of War' highlight Sony's E3 PS4 sale

Sony might not officially have a physical presence at E3 this year, but that isn't stopping it from holding its PlayStation Days of Play sale. Not only is there a limited edition, 1TB PS4 in steel black ($300) and a discount on the jet black PS4 Pro ($350), but you can get $20 off a PS Plus...

www.engadget.com

A large portion of the games sales were bundled and/or discount copies.

You don’t even have to take my word for it. Sony/Insomniac themselves said the economics of their games just wasn’t working anymore

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/s/82l6EgCrsl

Spiderman 2 would need like 8 millions sales FULL PRICE to break even

They litteraly HAVE to sell it on other platforms to make a profit.

You sony cult members are broken. You don’t live in the real world. Everything is console wars, which is why you have such a problem understanding what’s going on in the industry.

Sony is putting their games on any platform they can, cause they need to, in order to make the economics work for the games they publish.

Even the single player games are making their way to PC sooner and sooner.

The only people still in denial about this reality are you sony cult members
