It's so weird seeing a Playstation logo on an Xbox game case..
Finally Xbox has a good baseball game!!!
It is kind of sweet to see this after Sony fanboys have insisted their games would always be exclusive to Sony hardware.
Edit: it's doubly sweet as a Nintendo guy. Seeing them have circle jerks over Mario on PS (after insisting the games aren't good) makes this even more hilarious. It is uncertain whether or not this will come to Switch, but that's beside the point. Seeing Sony do this is delicious.
This was the reason i got a series X over the ps5 at launch...i have owned every version of the show even the ps vita versions its literally my favorite game and the only game i have played on the ps4 pro in the last year...to be able to play this on the xbox finally means i may not own a ps5 for a long while.
@IronMan30 sony was kinda forced into doing this by MLB they pretty much told them either multi plat or lose the license all together....MLB was smart as sports games generally sell better on the xbox from what i have seen.
@Blessed_Koz I know why they did it.
This is the BEST Sports series out there... and I don't even like Baseball, it's so well done. Enjoy y'all.
