Who cares, if you can’t buy a system?
With low amounts of a system install base, I’m sure releasing platform exclusive games will be very profitable. I’ll wait until I have an actual PS5, and by that time it will probably be dirt cheap because of low sales.

Just because you don't got one doesn't mean no one does. Damn

Trust me, I have been looking. Between the scalpers and the microprocessor shortages, it’s unknown if many will be able to even get a system this year! (2021)

The “disagrees” can hate all they want, but truth is truth. Low install base will result in low sales. Just because scalpers are obtaining systems, they won’t buy the games to support the hardware.

A developer would have to be a complete fool to release exclusive single next gen platform games this year. Prove me wrong...I dare you developers...

Lol this guy mustve not heard of miles morales...took top PS5, not ps4, charts at launch in all territories swllong upwards of 71% on ps5..in december it was at 4.1 million. Ps5s are at about 5 million. Even if you wanted to split ps5 copies vs ps4 copies sold right down the middle thats still 2 million sold. Which ia a 50% attqch rate among pa5 owners...they plan to sell 8 million by may ratchet in june...its a playatation 5 exclusive from a beloved franchise lol and youre crying about install base and developer being a complete fool for releasing a game with "low install base".

Im curious what game development and publishing havw you participated in to know whata good or bad? Clearly sony having a record financial quarter with revenue more than xbox and nintendo combined shows they know what to do.

Ratchet will makes ita money back day 1

@Jukins

Spiderman:MM for PS5 didn’t sell 4.1M.
Spiderman:MM for PS5 AND PS4 did.
BIG DIFFERENCE.

https://www.vg247.com/2021/...

“ The game, which launched alongside the PS5 in November, has so far sold 4.1 million copies to consumers as of December 31, 2020. The number includes PS4 and PS5 copies, both digitally and at retail. This is a decent turnout for a smaller-scale expansion, but it is nowhere near the mega-hit that is its predecessor, Spider-Man.”

Xbox making BIG money out of Playstation nation this year!

Oblivion Remaster is already the third biggest release on PS5 this year! Only behind (so far) of Monster Hunter: Wild and Assassins Creed Shadows!

Shadow Dropped!

So is Sega these days.

Funny really you make a good game and make it available for sale and people buy it. What a world we live in

northpaws2h ago

Still this argument? Lol.

The truth is the Xbox division cannot even survive without PS now, not the other way around.

Kornholic33m ago

Since the majority of Xbox players absolutely REFUSE to buy and pay for games, it wouldn't be even possible to make these types of big budget games without releasing them on PS5.

It's a shame that Xbox players don't respect games and game culture enough to support them.

Zero work, zero costs, zero risks... just collecting gold.
Just like with Sega and other big third party studios 🙌

Now that Xbox fanboys have accepted that xbox games will be released on PS5 (and Switch 2), Microsoft will be able to release them on Day one from now on. Just had to get people to swallow the pill.

I really gotta say I am a bit curious about E-Day.

With hardly any sales anymore, wether hardware nor software, probably not even subscriptions in a quantity they would want to have:

Is Spencer going to pull the trigger and bring Gears D1 on Playstation?

goken1h ago

It’s what a good game from a good franchise deserves.
I still think it would have done better if it came out on PS5 day one.

dveio1h ago

That's my guess, too.

In hindsight, it's really been a bold decision to not release it on Playstation in a month like December.

But instead back in August already to announce it's going to come to Playstation, then proceed to make it a weird "4 ½ months timed exclusive", and then to release it in a time with so much competition/big games being around.

Isn't this just weird?

I mean why would you do that, purely from a business point of view speaking.
