And honestly they will cut their profit hugely if they do so and it’s kinda unfair considering they said they wanted freedom for gamers. Especially since cod and many of the other games they’ve just bought have huge communities on PlayStation as well. And I definitely ain’t going out of my way to get an Xbox just to play them. It’s a shame that they’ve purchased some of my favourite game series but whatever I’ll just move on. That’s life. But honestly this is actually good for PlayStation players like me. Because if we know Sony they will come back HARD they’re not gonna take this lying down definitely not especially since these companies are each other’s biggest competition.

    Many people can’t seem to see the bigger picture. Microsoft doesn’t view Sony as a competitor, Microsoft thinks big and they do way more than just video games. Microsoft is using their vast amounts of wealth and influence to buy out other companies and competition (they also tried to buy Nintendo) which is one of the first steps of becoming a monopoly. Cloud gaming on a centralized controlled servers is the future of gaming and Microsoft wants to be the center of that. This isn’t even an theory either anymore, GamePass is way too convenient for the lazy American and is why most people love the Xbox. Microsoft also tried to buy Nintendo and they’re definitely not going to stop with Activision. This is a longer term power play to take control on an entire industry.
    Gaming is dead to me, I don’t like Microsoft or Sony, I mainly just emulate on my PC with older classic, people are way too caught up in their petty console and brand loyalty with companies who could care less about them.

    I think Sony needs to get competitive here. They lost their edge from last generation where they just stole the show and now their complacent. In the PS3 that was a much closer race and they has to claw to win. If you ask me, they need to acquire some more Japanese publishers like Capcom, Square or Sega or even revive some of their old franchises like Killzone or Socom to strike back. Sony has the fighting game market covered with EVO, and as a fighting game fan that's great, but it's not enough. It's safe to say that I'm concerned with my purchase of a PS5.

      @@Mayro_69 that would be bad, which is why I don’t think it’s very smart for them to do so. Gaming is becoming more inclusive and developers are more inclined to share their games. Five years ago, nobody would expect exclusives like God of War and Uncharted would be playable on anything that isn’t the PlayStation, but with competition diminishing between Sony and MS the lines of exclusivity are blurring.
      Microsoft owned games like Cuphead and Psychonauts are on PlayStation and Sony owned games like MLB The Show and Death Stranding are on XBOX.
      Both companies earn twice as much by letting both consoles purchase the games they own, so they have to pick between good business decisions or good fan decisions, and we all know how much companies care about their consumers.

      It won't, because there headquarters are in the U.S they can't monopolize anything because it's against federal law. If you want some proof look at Disney, if these laws didn't exist they would have most likely bought out Sony long ago.

    The one thing people need to remember is that Multiplayer games on the horizon from Activision-Blizzard won’t likely be exclusives, there’s too much money to be made when you’re cross platform. What will happen likely is that game pass will get more games, and future single player games will likely be exclusives.
