First and foremost, this must be great for the folks at Machine Games. Well done & congrats!
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!
Zero Marketing!
Instant Success!
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
Still this argument? Lol.
The truth is the Xbox division cannot even survive without PS now, not the other way around.
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.
Playstation making BIG money out of Xbox nation this year.
Zero work, zero costs, zero risks... just collecting gold.
Just like with Sega and other big third party studios 🙌
And it's not just that 30% cut only.
Imagine if there's just one person saying:
"Mmmh, Indiana Jones is now on PS5. I just wanted to buy a new console. Oh, look here, Forza on PS now, too? Oh, what's that - Death Stranding 2 only on PS5? I guess I'm gonna get a PS5 then."
These are the decisions that lead to quarterly financial reports seen in the last one.
When Playstation made almost double the revenue of what Xbox did, with increased, even record hardware sales and profits.
It's not just that "30% cut".
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?
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.
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.
Microsoft is doing more for PS5 these days than Sony? Wow.
Cool
PS5 is really killing it in terms of sales.
Beating PS5 by a bit in the region. Impressive.
The Xbox is truly dead outside of the US. Worldwide it sold roughly 250K units, and now we see that 200K of those sales came from the US. Yikes.
Microsoft is definitely reducing Xbox production, with sales in Japan hovering around only 100 units for several weeks. And Xsx also completely disappeared from Chinese online stores, now if you want an xsx in China, the only choice is from second-hand platform.
