Interesting. When was the last time Xbox had a baseball game?

It has to be much better than real life baseball to make me buy this.

What is this game? You just hit a ball with a stick and people cheer if you hit it far away?

Doesn’t really matter when America is the biggest console gaming market in the world.

I'm sorry, but what kind of logic is that?
Why should anyone buy a game if they are uninterested in it?
And why would anyone, that could be interested in the game, not buy it just because its published by Sony?
Not OP, but those who'd skip it just because it's published by Sony.

I hate baseball, but cricket is a whole 'nother tier of boring, bruv.
That said, as terrible as baseball is to watch, the MLB Show games are actually really damn good. Probably the best baseball franchise since Baseball Stars on the NES. I sank many hours into it on the PS4, and this was after I'd given up on watching MLB for over a decade. Monster dongs always make me smile. I refuse to rewrite that.

Nice, congrats to the Xbox players that have been starved for a real baseball game over the years. It's a gooder.

Last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. MLB themselves has been producing RBI Baseball on all the non-Sony platforms for the last several years due to The Show being exclusive. But the game was shit so they went to Sony and told them if they want to keep the exclusive MLB license then they have to publish the game on Xbox.

Baseball > Test Cricket heck... Every Sport > Test Cricket
Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world after Football.
20/20 Cricket > Every Sport in the World
If you watched Cricket and how exciting some of the post colonial rivalries are, you'd shit your pants out of excitement.

I guess MLB really twisted Sony's arms to release the game on other platforms.

It's a beautiful thing.
This peaceful alliance between the 2 gaming mega powers in the midst of the great Console Wars, gives hope for World Peace in our time.

I mean if you think my friend's & I hopped on a livestream to legitimately cry pout & rage over this then I guess that's you. Nonetheless I'm glad you were entertained.

That’s not what happened. They did it to keep the game from going into 3rd party hands. So out of EAs hands basically. Xbox or Nintendo could have made a game anytime they wanted but it would have to be made from the ground up and they’re not capable and there wasn’t a studio for them to buy that has an engine ready to go. But based on the replies in this thread it won’t sell well on x anyway because it isn’t on gp.

What about the video where you trashed your room?

Wasn't my room. It was my friend's room back in August 2018 where he had something happen that promoted his room to get trashed.
When the horizon PC port was rumored, I thought about the video and how easily it could be used in the event horizon were to get ported to PC.
And I did ask that friend for permission of course weeks in advance and he thought it was quite funny how it blew up on twitter.

So, basically Jim Ryan is dynamiting the PlayStation first party brand by the seconds. Why not pack it up and make a Sega altogether? Save us some time and the misery of looking at a great legacy being slowly run into the fucking ground.

MLB supposedly demanded Sony makes baseball games multiplat to keep the license (not sure that is even true, but people assume that).
Sony could either keep the license and make games for Xbox, make more money and lose an exclusive.
Or say forget it. Lose the license, lose 1M copies sold of MLB games sold on PS, and prevent Xbox from getting a baseball game which only sells well in the US.
Sony took the money.

You can apply such a dry analogy to pretty much every sport out there.

This. Why is it so hard for people to get their heads around this? This can happen to any licensed franchise. If Marvel really wanted to they could force Sony to do the same thing with Spider-Man.
