Xbox is a better publisher on PS5 than PlayStation at this point...
Of course that's going to be the case when a 3rd party releases its back catalog close together on a new platform. That's why Playstation is Xbox 's biggest revenue stream. At this point its become more of a symbiotic relationship between the two, especially after the ABK acquisition.
I mean... even if you remove the back catalog games and only focus on new releases, its still true lol
Oh of course, which is why i added the ABK part. This past December alone PS generated 64% of Xbox's revenue. They depend on PS as of now especially as the Series S/X gen fizzles out.
That what happens when you buy out 2 of your competitions strongest 3rd party publishers
That's to be expected when you buy up half of the industry.
This is true, unfortunately. With Sony faffing around with failing Gaas projects instead of doing what they are good at.
Good publishers make a physical copy. Xbox hates physical media.
Please explain? There have been way more releases from sony this gen
Has there been? I don't think so. By the end of the gen, Xbox will surpass Sony with game releases if they haven't already.
No thanks. Make a physical copy that isn't just a stub on disc. Otherwise no buy.
Preach!
It probably wasn't smart to release the sequel to a game that launched as a ps4 exclusive as an xbox exclsuive in the first place. That's just the boneheaded Ace Combat 6 move again.
The only way i'd ever play this game again, is if they allow us to sprint in the game, and add new move sets to both senua and the enemies. Also story dlc as a bonus.
In its current state, game was let down of the year.
I'm good, thanks.
I was waiting for this game in particular from Microsoft to be finally announced for PS5 and now i’m super excited to get it.
Curb your enthusiasm. The game was a forgettable experience by the time i finished it on xbox. The first title is wayyyy better.
Dang.... slowly my PS5 is becoming an XBOX.
For something useless, Xbox sure has made a space living rent free in your head 😂
