Yeah...after buying 2 of the biggest publishers out there. if it's still not looking strong after spending $77B, I don't know what to say.
if minus Bethesda which was already making games before the buyout, MS literally only had Halo Infinite and Forza this whole gen! Sony had 2 Spidey games, Demon Souls Remake, Sackboy, Returnal, R&C Horizon FW, GoWR, GT7, TLoUs remasters and Remake and not forget they also released 2 extra hardware with PSVR2 with Horizon CotM (game) and PS Portal. all 1st Party. I think only Nintendo made more in the last 3 years. MS had to rely on Bethesda for HiFi Rush, RedFall and SF all already being ...

"...a multi-player game it should have more players than a single player rpg."
why are people talking like this is a fact? same with the comments like "a GAAS game should release on all platforms to maximize the number of players" it's not factual at all. just look at this latest chart from Steam:
https://steamdb.info/charts...
Steam having competition? LOL keep telling yourself THAT! there is no real competition for Steam on PC.
The PC market is truly crazy unpredictable. there was no sign that Helldivers 2 would reach this kind of popularity before release and it was right after the Palworld craze too. for me it's my first time seeing 2 games garnering huge concurrent players in such quick succession.
I was puzzled by this release too. If you really want to play the old games again, just go and play TR Legends and Anniversary. Way better controls out of the gate. Not this nostalgia crap
More hilariously, where are the clowns claiming that Sony is doomed and missing out on the most popular game on the planet with Palworld while xbox gamers are having it free on GP?
I'm glad that most comments and praises for Helldivers 2 are centering around the credits the game deserves not how the puny xbox community is missing out on "the most popular game on the planet right now" BS.
Who wrote this piece of crap? Phil Spencer?
Gonna take awhile to make the money back at that pace, Remedy! Why not admit that you were wrong and release it on BD, like...right now?!
That's exactly what you were implying. But releasing on as many platforms as possible is not a guarantee for GAAS success
the sequel was released way too soon
it's Phil Spencer, were you expecting anything sane or honest coming out of from his mouth?
you act like all multiplats GAAS games are successful and thriving just because they are released everywhere.
the last guy jumped ship, not fired!
of course it will happen. they are saying only 4 now to soften the blow and not outright kill the xbox as a console. imagine Phil himself coming outright saying from now on, ALL xbox 1st party games will be released on PS and Switch. what do you think would happen?? 0 sales for xbox going forward! maybe I'm exaggerating BUT let's face it, xbox is the least desirable console out of the 3 on the market now, and if Phil admits that there will no longer be xbox console exclusive from now ...
great, more people NOT buying games
Ahh...I didn't know. I also don't play the game because it's not a genre I am particularly interested in.
@Christopher
Not useful at all? The introduction of performance modes for the XboneX and PS4Pro was a huge revelation for console gaming in general and it carries over to this gen which has been awesome.
Hasbro? like the one making Monopoly and Uno??
yeah...I think not even the devs and Sony expected it would be THIS huge before release. this game needs those extra servers Sony!...and SOON, like yesterday!
