For the 15th time... Minecraft is the different scenario. Bethesda games are not. Just because you want Bethesda games more then Minecraft doesn't mean they are more likely to give it to you.Those are completely different scenarios. I can play Minecraft on Ps4 though.
Wouldn't the be great, though? I bet Nintendo would actually make more money if they released Mario and Zelda games on other platforms, and it probably wouldn't even hurt their hardware sales that much. Nintendo obviously aren't the kind of company who would do that, but Microsoft doesn't seem to have the same sort of inhibitions to me. Everything they're doing seems to suggest they're betting on a future where it doesn't matter whose hardware people play on, as long as they're subscribed to their service.No, the hell its not. That's like saying Sony and Nintendo should release their games on Xbox because they'd make more money that way.
Nintendo would make more money in the short term but it would be a disaster in the long run. They would lose huge in hardware if people didn't have to buy their platform for their games. Microsoft is definitely less strict and what your saying is correct they want to expand their platform and rope people into game pass but they're not going to get that by putting their games on PlayStation. They need two Things. They need to have desirable exclusive content, and They need people to have hardware they can access it on. So their goal is to get customers on PC and Xbox and to convert whatever PlayStation types they can because Sony isn't going to allow Game Pass on PlayStation.Wouldn't the be great, though?

I'm not so sure about that. The Switch is fairly unique in terms of the features it offers, and none of the other consoles can really match it in that regard. They also wouldn't have to give other platforms equal treatment. A simple delayed release strategy would probably be enough to keep those on board who want the game badly enough to buy hardware for it.Nintendo would make more money in the short term but it would be a disaster in the long run.

You're letting your desires do the thinking for you. The money they'd make releasing on PlayStation doesn't matter, they're clearly willing to lose some in the short term to gain in the future. The very reason why you want MS to do it your way is because you want less reason to buy into their platform, which is why its the opposite of what they're doing.I'm not so sure about that.

The same goes for Microsoft too, of course. A PS5 release doesn't mean they can't still give their own box and service preferential treatment. Just delay the PS5 release for a few months. Make the Game Pass version come with a season pass. That'll be enough to get anyone desperate enough for the game to play it on Xbox/Game Pass to switch, and you don't miss out on the money of all the people who'd buy the game if it was available, but don't feel strongly enough about it to consider investing in a new platform.
Lol Western RPGs?
Japanese developers make the best RPGs by far. Souls,Bloodborne,Dragon's Dogma,Persona,Dragon Quest,Fire Emblem,Valkyria Chronicles,Final Fantasy the list goes on and on.
The only Western RPG series that is really great is the Witcher series.
You're being a bit presumptive here. I don't plan on buying a PS5, and I'm not particularly interested in Bethesda's games. If I'm ever going to buy the next Elder Scrolls game, it'll be once the inevitable GOTY Edition goes on sale for $15 on Steam or something.You're letting your desires do the thinking for you.

For sure this is the same rhetoric Phil has used for a while now. Any screen any where no matter where you play means = PC, Console (Xbox), Phone (xcloud)You might want to read that actual source, they don't mention PS5 at all.
Didn't knew you have to be Japanese in order to be allowed to prefer Japanese games. Good point!
Makes little to no sense. XBox is the dude bro shooter console. Haven't RPGs typically performed poorly for X?
Huh? Oblivion was a monster hit and system seller for the 360.
It applies to Nintendo PC as well. Which I agree would be nice but would still hurt their platform. A lot of PC users don't mind Nintendo so much because it's not directly competing with their PC's. Anyway point is PlayStation ain't getting no more scrolls.You're being a bit presumptive here. I don't plan on buying a PS5, and I'm not particularly interested in Bethesda's games.

That lists does not interest me one bit... Me personally I've never been interested in jrpg's I can never get into them..Lol Western RPGs?

it rates higher than the silence you offer as proof.
They want to push gamepass exclusives do that. This deal will sell series consoles and gamepass but only if the games are exclusive. Gamespass subscriptions are console gamers. Playstation gamers been saying exclusives sell consoles how long now?
Microsoft got you covered as PC aka system with their operating system Windows 10 will also get Xbox games for you to buy via Game pass.PC is the only place for RPGs.
...PC is the only place for RPGs.
Yes Cyberpunk and lot of JRPGs....
PS5 will have plenty exclusive RPG's depending on whether we're talking about WRPG's or JRPG's.
Yes, along with Halo, Gears, Avowed, Hellblade 2 and Forza.But they won't be exclusive these titles will be on PS5 as well.
If that was all they wanted to achieve they'd just buy exclusivity for the franchises they want, it'd cost a whole lot less. By buying a formerly multi-platform publisher and then reducing their output to fit corporate objectives they are getting a whole load of assets and staff who in the long-term are surplus to requirement, and ultimately a business that is less profitable because its addressable market has just shrunk considerably.
I get that its a strategic move to bolster GamePass (for PC as much as console) but honestly I consider it to be kinda counterproductive. They will inevitably have to cut staff if they shrink development to cover fewer SKU's on fewer platforms, it'll impact all the way through the organization from QA to PR. This won't happen til next year, but I absolutely guarantee that it will happen.#
Sooner or later MS corporate is going to order fat be trimmed across every gaming studio and acquisition in order to make them more profitable.
Lol, where are those JRPGs? Right, XBOX doesn't get them. PC Gets Bethesda titles, JRPGs and everything in between.
Well, most of us know how good Demons Souls is, it's hardly new ground.To put in in perspective.....
Demon's Souls, released Day One on PS5, will be better than every single one of those games.
Who said anything about XBOX and JRPGS?
You're clearly delusional.
Ok, Internet warrior. Bet you feel like a big man throwing insults from behind the keyboard. "Who said anything about XBOX" while you are on an Xbox thread.
That lists does not interest me one bit... Me personally I've never been interested in jrpg's I can never get into them..
Eh, I still think they're gonna do it. I mean, they put Minecraft Dungeons on Switch and PS4, right? And unlike the original Minecraft, that game wasn't on those consoles already before Mojang got bought out.It applies to Nintendo PC as well. Which I agree would be nice but would still hurt their platform. A lot of PC users don't mind Nintendo so much because it's not directly competing with their PC's. Anyway point is PlayStation ain't getting no more scrolls.
Yes, along with Halo, Gears, Avowed, Hellblade 2 and Forza.
Oh, wait a minute...
Yep, that's exactly what PS5 is getting from this deal.
