's setup he shouldn't have any reason to be mad. Dude is rich as fuck. He could buy Activision and gift it to MS if he wanted.
It's a childhood problem thing.Looking at
Jesus man. You act like Xbox does not do exclusive deals. Are you blind or just misinformed?
You could hire Dr Phil or Jordan Peterson. You got the cash. Work through that trauma that Sony caused.
Yep. I personally think CoD will continue on PS forever, and that offering Sony to publish it on PS only for 3 years more is a negotiating tactic to end getting the 30% cut on PS reduced for MS games, or to allow them to put their own MS store and GP on PS without paying Sony nothing instead of 30%.
MS, Nintendo and MS always paid for 3rd party exclusives. And Sega too before MS and Sony had consoles.
No, it isn't the same. MS bought big publishers including the biggest 3rd party publisher and biggest 3rd party IP. This is something Sony and Nintendo didn't do.
Ahhh fuck, i hope not. Phil is Sony’s best CEO, i hope he stays. If he gets replaced, maybe the new CEO will actually be competent enough to get good games released. We don’t want that now do we?
Explain why governments don't allow companies to absorb as many smaller other companies as possible to kill off competition and to become more and more powerful?
Did you miss the point of my post or something? I said if Sony had that kind of money to consolidate the industry, it would be bad.
Think outside the box? What is thinking inside the box? Making and releasing great games in-house from the ground up?
If you really want to go there, these big tech US companies all got so big due to government granted privileges creating an unfair playing field. They all received government grants early on which helped cement their positions and/or overtake already established companies. All of them get privileges that small businesses don't get.Explain why governments don't allow companies to absorb as many smaller other companies as possible to kill off competition and to become more and more powerful?
There's many reasons, some obvious, others less so, but a lot should be common sense. One extreme is the company basically gains more power than the government itself.
Think of the game where everyone starts as small dots. The bigger dots move around and can eat any smaller dots and thus become bigger. Then they can eat any other smaller dots. Eventually, you are left with one huge dot that has absorbed everyone and e everything.
The end result?
For many people in these threads if they didn't spout bullshit they would have nothing to spout at all.
Ah the tried and true bullshit argument. Meanwhile, this is your PC.
Time to stop posting, McCaffrey.
Organic growth means to grow their business mostly by releasing more products than before, reaching new markets, optimizing internally some businesses with the goal of selling more, increase the average revenue per user or in general to make more money.
Imagine saying “overstated” about CoD, when the recent one just crushed all time records in sales, and produced over $1billion in revenue in mere days.
Yes, after the acquisition, Nintendo will be the console maker generating less revenue of the 3 even if will be the one generating the biggest profit (MS being the less profitable one).
Yes, CoD makes a lot of money and as Sony says to regulators it's important. But as MS says it isn't that important and Sony would be ok without it because CoD represents a tiny part of the market even in the PS market, because the gaming and PS markets are super huge.
Fuck you Sony, at least we have an original IP on Xbox now and it's exclusive.
We've reached politics level of lies passed off as truth at this point. If I was a regulator I would have made Microsoft send someone over and read their statements around COD not being that big of a deal. If they can keep a straight face maybe we let the deal go through.
People who purchase CoD in the ecosystem, also purchase other games and DLC as well. They are out of the ecosystem, their spend on other products is out as well.
What if I told you is gonna release on Playstation as well?
Fuck you Sony, at least we have an original IP on Xbox now and it's exclusive.
I don’t give a fuck if you buy it or not.
Oh thank god. I was so worried.
And they will do all that, then the deal will still go through, all this is the illusion of some sort of regulation.
And Jim is being totally professional crying about this to anyone that will listen, looks more like a childish tete a tete from both sides to be honest.
The other component just as if not more vital than the money (as far as Sonys concerned) is the time.
I was just sorting my games out. I say vote with your wallet, and I did, this is my Xbox One/ X physical collection so far. My Xbox 360 collection is double this. I actually got to sort that out too…
I definitely prefer Microsoft over Sony for sure and will continue to support them. Sony is too restrictive for my taste.
There were studios I didn't even know we're actually part of Xbox in it's earlier years. Appreciate the list
There's therapy available, probably more helpful than forum replies.
So what? Around 90% of the PS MAU don't buy the yearly CoD games and the ones who do, part of them already have a gaming PC or Xbox so if going exclusive they'll simply play CoD on Xbox/PC as they already do with other games and will continue playing on PS. Other part of CoD players if goes exclusive will play other PS games instead. Pretty likely if CoD goes console exclusive only a handful million players or so would leave PS to join Xbox, which considering PS growth numbers Sony would compensate them with new users in a handful years.
Correction: something Sony and Nintendo CANT do.
It’s going to flop anyway
Fuck you Sony, at least we have an original IP on Xbox now and it's exclusive.
Why do they always do this?
