@iplaygamesnstuff Sony ain't the only ones that do this. Microsoft definitely had their fair share of timed exclusives and such. Did you support the Cuphead devs for accepting money for timed exclusivity? Not to mention other devs and platforms.
@StrikerXL You think Xbox wouldn't have done the same for CoD?! Yes one game pretty much jump started this whole thing. However, it also highlighted some things from both sides. Potential precedents set as well.
@MattT3142 Man I've been wondering for years as to what he truly contributes. I normally just keep quiet about him because he seems to be liked for the most part. Glad I'm not the only one who felt the same about him.
I wonder if the consoles will be able to properly run it. Series S may have problems. Hopefully Crytek does a great job optimizing it. Hell that goes for the Series X and PS5 too.
@BrilliantBill RPGs or WRPGs? If it's just regular RPGs, then Xbox doesn't come close to having the amount Playstation or Nintendo has. WRPGs though is a different story.
@themightyant My thoughts exactly. The deal will go through. CoD will just be a special case. Tbh, I don't think Sony really cares about the rest except for CoD.
@Romans12 Plenty of games have. Like those already mentioned. Mass Effect, Cuphead, Bastion, etc..etc. Both gaming giants lose exclusives to each other.
@Would_you_kindly Right. It's clear that Xbox did this. I mean...business is business and it's a great marketing tactic to convince folks that Xbox has the best version of Persona. Pretty ballsy of Xbox to do that given the franchise's history with Playstation. At least Xbox gamers can enjoy mainline Persona games now. That's a win for everyone.
@Texel Playstation doesn't have a monopoly at all in those places. Dominate over Xbox in those territories would be more appropriate. Monopoly would suggest that Switch and Xbox ain't even competing with a near full percentage of marketshare.
@Somebody I doubt we see a PS5 lite or an equivalent. Waste of resources at this point. People need to get their hands on the regular PS5 AND Series X on a regular basis rather than at chance.
😤 Aren't some of you tired of hearing about Playstation over here on the Xbox site? This is ridiculous. I love Xbox and want to hear what's happening with Xbox, not what Playstation is doing or not doing to Xbox. I really REALLY can't wait til the Acti/Blizz deal is finalized so we can stop hearing about all of this other bs.
Oh boy.... The obligatory comments of "blame Sony" or "it's Sony's fault". Not every thing that negatively impacts Xbox is Sony's doing. The Xbox community needs to go to the developer themselves and ask questions. People thought Sony was holding Persona hostage despite not having a deal in place. Now it's finally on Nintendo and Xbox. Same with Kingdom Hearts AFTER Sony's exclusivity window was up. Square are the ones that has to answer these questions.
Xbox is getting a new Guilty Gear game?! Well I know it's Strive, but it's been ages since Xbox got a GG game. I also saw Blazblue as well. This is wonderful.
@fox99 Bro you need a hug? Relax. I like Xbox like the next guy, but I ain't bout to d ride them when they f up. Say what you want about Sony's exclusives, but at least they're releasing AND they're critically acclaimed. You sound salty to be honest.
@Romans12 Oh I wasn't trying to dissuade you kind sir. Just what DF said about this particular game. I also have a PS5 and Series X. I find certain games on Series X washed out versus the PS5 version AND vice versa. The differences are so marginal that it doesn't make any sense to console war over. Not talking about you and I. Just our gaming community. I'm reeeeeally thinking about becoming a PC gamer in addition to consoles.
@Spaceman-Spiff I can already see it now. "150 Sony devs helped with the game, so that's why the Series X version has problems." All jokes aside, I would like to know why it struggled in some areas as well when it shouldn't have.
@sjbsixpack Don't expect anyone here to acknowledge that. 😂 Although at the same time, it doesn't mean it's gonna be a good game just because some Sony folks worked in it. Still, the game looks great. I hope to hear good things from it.
I contributed to the black Friday sales for Xbox Series S. This will be the 2nd one in the house besides my very own Series X. Wouldn't be surprised if Xbox won NPD for November.

@iplaygamesnstuff Don't be like that. All 3 gaming giants partake in these practices. Still...you're entitled to feel how you feel about Sony.
Re: It Looks Like PlayStation Exclusive 'Stray' Is Coming To Xbox Soon
@iplaygamesnstuff Oh wow. So Sony does it with malice.... Okay sir. Have a great one.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Hoping Xbox's 'Gears Collection' Is Real?
@Green-Bandit Right. It was just the wording as if Uncharted was made because of Gears. Hence the context. We good though, Bandit. 🫡
Re: Talking Point: Are You Hoping Xbox's 'Gears Collection' Is Real?
@Green-Bandit Not just Gears, but RE4 and Tomb Raider. All of those titles inspired Uncharted. Context is important. 😁
Re: Microsoft Reckons It 'Lost The Worst Generation To Lose' With Xbox One

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For April 2023 Announced

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Devs 'Aren't Playing The Exclusivity Game' With PlayStation
@awp69 As well as those baselessly claiming Playstation moneyhatted this.
Still puzzled about how they got a Mac version to work and not an Xbox. Considering both Xbox and Playstation are very similar, architecture wise.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Devs 'Aren't Playing The Exclusivity Game' With PlayStation

I LOVE this game. This was a very welcomed surprise to the GP lineup.
Re: Xbox Games With Gold For February 2023 Announced
I'm so happy we got GamePass. Seriously, I'm convinced that this is Xbox plan for GWG for the foreseeable future. These titles are laughable.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In January 2023
Damn...talk about a stellar month for GamePass. Jojo is coming in a few days?! Hell yeah! To think I almost bought that on PS5. So glad I didn't.

@UltimateOtaku91 Even Persona Strikers wasn't on Xbox. Just Switch and PS4. The old Arena games yeah, but no mainline.
