No the blog post said "some new titles in the future" which means that some other new titles in the future won't be exclusive. You have no idea which ones they are talking about. Btw they aren't Deathloop and Ghostwire as those are already announced.
You made it brother. Don’t forget us little people.
Not just talking about the Bethesda stuff but that adds to it.Those deals were done before MS had anything to do with anything, how is that MS turning on its own users?
Remember all the 'Why would they release on Playstation?!' posts.
Like Microsoft is doling out money like a game of Monopoly with no concern for the bottom line for the foreseeable future.
It's bizarre because a year ago people were Microsoft didn't care about hardware sales. Now they're going to leverage their exclusive content to sells hundreds of millions of consoles to catch up with Sony and Nintendo lol.
No lol.what equals? unifying the platform xbox has far greater reach than anything ps5 could hope to have at the end of gen. this is established at 100%. Microsoft releases games on HIS Windows operating system therefore on a store that, among others, is present on its platform, Steam. This is the store with the most users about 120 million per month on Microsoft's operating system. Microsoft releases also games on the their store and on Gamepass PC (gamepass games cannot be downloaded on Steam). Then it releases the games simultaneously on its consoles and also on xcloud. It has a vastly higher audience of reachable users than the PlayStation. One thing to note is that unlike cross-gen, when only nextgen games will be released, this can obviously only rely on the ps5 userbase which for the first few years is really small.
Deathloop and Ghost Wire for PS5.
There are Bethesda games which will be released shortly on ps5 as timed exclusives ... to say all games will be exclusive would confuse people who don't quite know how things are going and that Bethesda has to.conclude the contracts already signed previously. Plus, saying it wouldn't even be true.
I know
Before the acquisition was finalized Microsoft had already stated:
"We want Zenimax/Bethesda games to be first or best on Xbox, exclusivity will decided on a case by case basis"
The reply by some Microsoft fans was : "They're obviously bluffing because the deal is not finalized, everything will be exclusive, why would they spend 7.5 billions??? Once the deal is done it will be immediatly clarified!"
Now the deal is finalized and the message is still the same:
"We want Xbox/PC to be the best platforms to play Zenimax/Bethesda games, only some games will be exclusive"
The same Microsoft fans: "See?? Full exclusivity confirmed!! So much salt and denial"
Honestly it's clear they're leaving the door open pretty much to everything at this stage (full exclusive, timed exclusive, day one multiplatform release but 'free" on Gamepass vs 80$ on PS5 and so on), their main goal with the acquisition is to make Gamepass a success by having many AAA games available day one on the platform, something they haven't been able to convince big third party publishers to do because they would just lose money.
These huge companies do not reason like fanboys, they see the business opportunities and how to make their ventures viable and profitable.
Sony and Microsoft for example have an on going collaboration on cloud services, AI and other stuff. Sony is now making PC games because they see an opportunity there (although they are doing it in a way not to damage their Playstation business) and when they had to choose between going multiplatform and keep the MLB license or refuse to develop a game on Xbox for pride reasons...guess what they decided?
Microsoft needs Bethesda for their Gamepass ambitions, but they realistically do not want to turn them into a money losing business totally sacrificed to the Gamepass cause, they will find a balance.
Are you lumping steam in with ms though just because they happen to be on ms platform ? That doesn't mean anything windows is an open platform as far as storefronts go and by that logic Sony could open a storefront on Windows and sell on steam and instantly dominate Xbox as it does in the console market .... You said it yourself steam has 120 million users a month that's a number Microsoft wishes it had but their titles sadly for you though don't sell to 99% of those 120m users though and gamepass is like what 20m subs at the moment it's minuscule and in its infancy still it will grow for sure I'm playing rise of nations right now on it , I also think you overestimate the importance of xcloud because no one's gaming seriously on a tablet/phone or any mobile device that isn't a gaming laptop that kinda deafeats the object of having xcloud then in that situation.
that balance is called, millions of pc users. They are releasing the games there for exactly this reason.Before the acquisition was finalized Microsoft had already stated:

This is exactly the point these Xboys don't get. Fanboy fantasies aren't borne out in reality.The same Microsoft fans: "See?? Full exclusivity confirmed!! So much salt and denial"

The fight that you see in the console world is made solely to attract users ... the higher the number of users the more chances there will be that someone will buy this or that game. In reality, user reach is the basis of the economy on which almost everything is based.

Keep dreaming about Starfield and TES coming to Playstation because that's all it will ever be. Sweeet dreams are made of thisssssss.
It isn't vague.
I think some of the next Zenimax games (after Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo) will be full console exclusives. Other ones will be timed console exclusives. Other ones will be multiplatform since day one as we saw with other Microsoft games like Minecraft Dungeons. Other ones already released on other consoles will continue to get new content on these platforms.
When did I imply that? You implied they didn't have $130 billion which they do.
That same question still applies.
Well sales would argue with that. There’s also plenty more IP gained besides those 2well Skyrim wasnt better either so i dun get ur point
I doubt ms could lock windows up in this day and age "if it so desired" I'm sure that would be highly illegal if that's what you mean about good and bad times i just find it odd of the claims of lumping Xbox+ the entire of the pc market numbers to counter against Sony when they could literally do the same and will do, if there's money to be made Sony will absolutely release on pc it's an open market regardless who owns windows , it doesn't matter about fanboy feelings getting hurt it's just the way things are going and I imagine those games they are releasing in the near future will also do very well on steam charts etc but let's be honest like I said earlier about ms games Sony games will not sell to 99% of that 120 mill steam monthly users just like Microsoft games the numbers will be much smaller in reality .
The same people who laud exclusives argue that exclusives just don't work for Microsoft.Okay, we think diametrically opposite about Windows, when Sony will release new games on Microsoft Windows partly hurting the sales of their console but certainly weakening their position and objectively making Windows 10 the ultimate gaming platform we will continue to talk. Up to that point Sony with the ps5 certainly doesn't have and will not have for the whole gen the user reach that ms has with w10 + Xbox + xcloud
Users that play those Sony games on pc won't be paying ms for a subscription so why would it hurt them if anything you'll need a playstation account to play them and you'll also get ms fans paying and playing Sony games aswell after all they are on the same platform it works both ways it's just all free digital market fronts , there's no downside from what I see Sony stand to gain a shit ton more people in there eco system just like ms with Xbox .... After all isn't it all about how many people in your eco system these or so I've heard .
Microsoft's messaging had always been understated and vague. Completely different than Sony and their messaging.
so you should tell jim ryan that hey are fuckin up everything and should release everything on pc because ps5 will hardly sell more than 110/120 million consoles (over the whole gen)
I always liked the “you don’t spend 7.5 billion to release games on competitions console” posts. But, I still believe they’ll make everything exclusive. Like I’ve mentioned, the gold reversal set a precedent. Not that their customers won’t pay for full exclusivity, but I think they’ll buckle.Remember all the 'Why would they release on Playstation?!' posts.
Like Microsoft is doling out money like a game of Monopoly with no concern for the bottom line for the foreseeable future.

He has a PC, and he understands that a Japanese conglomerate like Sony will never be bought by Microsoft, no matter how much their no.1 shill wants it to happen
.leverage their platform ....is not hard to understandRemember all the 'Why would they release on Playstation?!' posts.
