Ultimately 1P exclusives, along with people's own libraries, are the two main selling points of PS. They aren't going to jettison a major selling point just because there much more desperate and weaker opponent did the same.

Again sonys most popular PS5 game is already on its way to xbox

The game on the Steam charts lost 90% of it's playbase from peak numbers from 17 months ago. People moved on.

When it's stuff like Ghost of Yōtei or Wolverine that's noteworthy.

The game is still getting updates. Just a couple weeks ago sony stan’s were talking about how great the update and the game was ongoing.

Until of course the xbox port is announced, now nobody cares about it.

FYI for those who don't know this dude works for a Playstation studio (or a subsidiary of a Playstation studio) so sounds like it is a much ado about nothing.

@Gizmo_Duck can you post a screenshot please? This place is ass for posting screenshots.

HD2 is very much NOT a winb83 game.

Game is still doing pretty well at decent numbers, should do well on X-Box and will probably come to NS2 soon.

@winb83 cant help himself from running sony stan defense.

Gotta downplay the situation to cope with the reality of your stan arguments dying.

Same as you did in that last post.

Now more playstation games on xbox/switch is just “business as usual”

You care about this a lil too much , Sony likes money so that’s what they are gonna do. Sure they probably won’t make everything multiplat but here we are

Even if they never port the single player games, we are talking about just a few games per gen.

Sony stan’s broken all the way down to stanning 3-4 games every 10 years as their call to arms

Sorry @Gizmo_Duck I'm about to apply. Don't hate me for bringing the Spider-Man trilogy to Xbox. It's all in the game.

What 1P exclusives? The only ones left are Astro, Demon's Souls and GT7.

And that's because that selling point you're talking about went from actual exclusives last generation, to timed exclusives this generation with how Sony is drip feeding all of their games to PC (and now Xbox and Switch too).

We all know this pivot would've happened sooner and at a much larger scale, if Sony was successful with their live service initiative this gen.

Several game cancelations and studio closures only makes this even more necessary and inevitable.

And this is why they been whoring their brand out most of this generation by allowing bullshyt anime games to get placements on their State of Play showcase with zero care for curation for the viewers, or by even allowing fully multiplatform games like Borderlands to buy their own State of Play showcase under the guise of being a "PS game". The PS brand is clearly up for sale for the highest bidder if you want a rollout for your new game.

The new CEO being a finance guy only adds context in explaining all these weird money grabbing moves this generation. These guys even killed the rewards program after launching one at the start of this gen.

Of course it's GAAS shyt as we've seen with Helldivers 2.

But carry on.
