Is it someone's opinion OR top secret information from Sony?

 

[Spitfire098]

From only 4 games to this...community is pathetic

 

[hinch7]

Last good SP FF was XII so I fail to see that as a positive.

I enjoyed all the recent mainline FF's outside 15

 

[adamsapple]

why ?

Gaas already launching day and date, some story based games like Until Dawn and Lego Horizon are also day 1, and the gap for marquee releases has gotten smaller over the last few years.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Those are the marching orders from ms

They are scared to death their fanbase will be moving over to playstation.

The reality is, that is what will happen on mass, most console audience are casuals who want simple.

This is exactly what it is. Everyone knows Sony will be doing day and date for their GAAS titles, this isn’t news at all and it’s been happening since the start of the gen. Sony has come out multiple times this gen and said their plans very clear are for GAAS to go to PC day one and their single player games to stay exclusive on their consoles for some time before later going to PC.

Windows Central knows this and this is their attempt at trying to stop the bleeding that is currently going on at team Xbox. The Xbox platform is dying but it’s not enough MS fucked themselves over and killed their console brand but Sony has to be doing it too. It’s the classic bullshit we’ve been seeing from them and other MS shill sites and fanboys on social media for more than a year now….

“Looks guys, Xbox may be dying but Sony too will join them soon enough! Things aren’t as bad as they seem, Sony Too!!”

The shit is an old and tired attempt at damage control that isn’t working and will never work.

 

[Generic]

Agreed.

Xbox would be fine if they made a few killer games that people simply HAD to play

Its pretty easy to pass on Xbox titles and thus their hardware as of late

I don't see killers on PS either. I was waiting for The Last of Us Factions but Sony cancelled it.

Yes i agree, just wanted to hear your thoughts on the topic.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I don't see Sony putting their own store on PC.

Then I don’t see them doing day and date on PC

 

[Kilau]

This would be awesome if Sony had fuck all worth buying for games.

Has it gotten smaller, though?

It’s more random than it is smaller. And stuff held back got pushed forward due to pc leakers

 

[bundylove]

I guess i dont need to buy shit then cuz my samsung tv has everything on it.
Gamepass too.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Yeah let’s ignore the multiple goty titles this year. Some people have fuck all taste though

 

[Punished Miku]

Agreed. Sold my 5 and likely won't buy the 6. The Spiderman 2 release is a sign of things to come. Even if it takes a year wait to release on PC, that ain't shit.

Yep.

It's random, yes, but SM2 is coming in 1 year 3 month, which is a lot shorter than their somewhat held previous 2 year gap.

 

[Banjo64]

You can’t produce a piece like this and maintain that you are a serious publication. This is puerile.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

If it takes awhile that is the equivalent of guessing not knowing.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

the consequences of their ongoing strategy (GaaS/First-party at a later date) will not be known until 3-4 years after this generation is over.

everything said about Xbox's failed strategy applies to PS. the only difference is that PS is in a position of power... . maybe they can get away with it. but i think in general, it would be a zero sum game.

 

[Kilau]

Yeah let’s ignore the multiple goty titles this year. Some people have fuck all taste though

They made one good game, Astrobot and one good gaas game HD2. What else?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Then I don’t see them doing day and date on PC

Me neither. I think a Rockstar-like strategy of delaying SP games for a year or so to take advantage of double-dippers would be the smartest approach business-wise.

Just don't delay them too much, or else the hype would fade away completely resulting in low sales, like the one's Square saw with FFXVI.

PC games have tons of games available. You either take advantage of the hype effect or you eat dick. I guess it's a complicated thing to balance.

 

[Mr Moose]

Xbox lost December NPD badly, huh?

My guess they heard some big xbox games about to drop on ps or some other shit that got them spooked. The general reaction to anything negative Xbox from Xbox fanbase is Sony too.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It's random, yes, but SM2 is coming in 1 year 3 month, which is a lot shorter than their somewhat held previous 2 year gap.

The feeling back 2+ years ago was that SM2 would come to PC within a year of release, I am sure I am on record of saying that if I felt going searching for it

But I fully expect that window to continue to shrink

 

[Jormatar]

That is a paid ad if I ever see one LOL.
