@StrawberryWave All services that relatively nobody uses. So, because Xbox has cloud streaming they aren't allowed to buy companies anymore? What a ridiculous argument.
@Kevw2006 If only other companies with a larger share of the market and DEVELOPERS could come up with a CoD competitor in 10 years when cloud streaming a twitch shooter "might" be feasible.
@Sam_TSM Nah UK deserves it if they can the deal over such an absurd nothingburger as cloud streaming Call of Duty. CMA is flat out telling Microsoft to play more dirty like Sony. You get what you ask for.
@StrawberryWave It's because Sony and Nintendo literally don't offer any real cloud service! They willfully refuse to offer it. Such a mountain out of a molehill argument. Most people don't even use it, and who on earth is going to play CoD multiplayer over the cloud?! Such a false equivalency.
Sony always gets what it wants. They get this delayed in courts for years through stupid arguments that morons, who know nothing of how videogame markets work buy into. Meanwhile, Microsoft has their money tied up and Sony can continue to dominate the market. It's the Sony way to play dirty, always has been...
@themightyant
Literally a mountain vs molehill comparison to equate general market share with cloud market share. How many people are going to stream CoD multiplayer over the cloud? That's just absurd!
Who are Microsoft going to concede to when Sony won't implement cloud? They can't make concessions to something that doesn't exist. Sony doesn't want to really use cloud and neither does Nintendo. Horrible basis for the ruling when the 2 main competitors willfully reject cloud offerings.
Nobody is streaming CoD over the cloud! Most people barely use it altogether. But punish Xbox because the majority shareholder (Sony) is completely capable and has a cloud offering, but chooses not to implement it more into their system? What an insane ruling.
Nobody is cloud streaming CoD! Much less, really cloud streaming in general. Punishing Microsoft because Sony chooses not to expand their cloud streaming offerings, is insanity.
I mean, it's pretty much a given at this point that Sony will buy Square it seems once they are done crying about the Activision/Blizzard purchase and that goes through. So otherwise, Oxenfree 2 and some no-name game nobody cares about.
@FatalBubbles No, you just talk about how I'm just so insanely biased for sharing information from Digital Foundry while you send me a youtube video from PlayStation Portal. Called confession by deflection. But feel free to continue wasting time with me.
@FatalBubbles So you say the list from Digital Foundry is 2022 so its old then you proceed to send a youtube video from PlayStationPortal (hardly unbiased), where 90% of the games are from 2020! Oh boy...
@Dezzy70 And yet a significant majority of cross-platform games perform better on Xbox than PS. This being an exception. So, if your point is accurate, Xbox could perform at an even higher level than PS than it already does.
@Dezzy70 PS has a better SSD, but Xbox has better CPU and Graphics card. Performance comparisons have show Xbox to be the better hardware overall. There's a reason Sony had to factory overclock the CPU to try to keep up.
@Sakai @GamingFan4Lyf Sakai is proving my point. Xbox is the better hardware. That isn't fanboy that's just simply facts. It's more powerful and the results of a majority of comparisons have proven that. It's still on devs to utilize it properly and there are outliers. But as Sakai pointed out, it favors Xbox over PS and it's not close.
@Moonglow "The reason you see Spiderman content being cut out from other console games is Sony flexing it's way with Spiderman Movie success with Disney". That was the point I was getting at in my later comments. It's not out there to assume that the movie rights can affect the games situation with the same company.
@Tharsman Just not a fan of drawing conclusions with certainty based on just public information. I can at least admit I'm making assumptions (some are wrong yes). But it's a sidetrack anyways. Funny to see Sony dumping Spiderman already from their Plus platform. Shows how little they desire to compete with Game Pass and frankly, don't care about it.
@Tharsman Ok then Google. They are still bedfellows out of necessity between the two. Clearly, there have been platform exclusivity exchanges with the deal they made to get Spider-man in the Avengers movies.
"News: Marvel’s Spider-Man Will Leave PS Plus Extra in May. Seems PlayStation First Party Titles will to not be forever titles for the service." Hmmmmm

@S1ayeR74 This case is about Xbox though, not Microsoft as a whole. And Sony dominates the market.

Re: Microsoft Will Appeal UK Decision To Block Activision Blizzard Purchase
@S1ayeR74 Your argument shows how dumb this ruling is if this kills Xbox in your mind. But "poor Sony" according to these morons at the CMA.

Re: The Mageseeker: A League Of Legends Story Is Out Now, And It's Getting Great Reviews
Was hoping this would be on Game Pass considering the big partnership they have with their F2P games... Might snag on a sale otherwise.

@FatalBubbles show me the data that proves that or it didn't happen.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo's Xbox Version Described As 'Big Disappointment' In Digital Foundry Tech Review
@IOI False. Xbox performs better more often. 90% rofl good try! https://twitter.com/dark1x/status/1542546724476133377?lang=en
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo's Xbox Version Described As 'Big Disappointment' In Digital Foundry Tech Review
@Dan1283 Not like 60fps isn't coming. But the bigger question is if they should've delayed until it was ready.

Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo's Xbox Version Described As 'Big Disappointment' In Digital Foundry Tech Review
@Dezzy70 Yeah, both built to certain strengths. PS focused on load times, Xbox focused on performance.

@GamingFan4Lyf What are you talking about? A vast majority of multiplatform have been better on Xbox than PS. This is a rare occurrence.

Re: Xbox Is Bringing Nine Bethesda Games To PlayStation Plus This Month
@Tharsman Sounds like you work for Marvel and are privy to all their behind closed doors dealings. Or you are speculating as fact.
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Nine Bethesda Games To PlayStation Plus This Month
@Tharsman Ok then Google. They are still bedfellows out of necessity between the two. Clearly, there have been platform exclusivity exchanges with the deal they made to get Spider-man in the Avengers movies.
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Nine Bethesda Games To PlayStation Plus This Month
@Tharsman It's actually the opposite. Sony owns the Spider-man license and Disney pays them to use him.
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Nine Bethesda Games To PlayStation Plus This Month
@Tharsman Right? Especially, for a game that old that sits in bargain bins...
