You know whats weird... I thought everyone said Phil was a clown and that Xbox was the only ones who were struggling and needed to go multiplat. Very interesting to then see, one by one big triple A publishers dropping Playstation exclusively. It's actually embarrassing to see. Xbox was right once again, but they'll deny it and just say Phil just double speaks, and that's that. 😅
@andyward8430 yeah you're not wrong, I also think we should consider that sometimes they (execs) might be telling the truth or intend on a thing, but sometimes things do genuinely change and evolve, especially Xbox. They've been evolving nonstop for since they started acquiring things. I rend to believe that's more of what's going on rather than just him lying left and right. That's not to say there are most likely times where he stretches things and might very well know "x" is not really what is going to happen....but "technically" it is as of right now ... on paper.. lol
@pedromartinez-xt7ye thats nice, they also both stated being done with exclusivity once those contracts are done and over with. It'd more about the "moving forward" part and what to expect...I know you know this lol
@Mmachine88 those contracts are for A while still. And it also depends how sales are on other platforms. Just look how ff16 sold on pc. Square literally wasted time and money. Same with ff14 on x box. It sold for crap.
Here's food for thought. The exclusivity agreement for Forspoken is LONGER than it took Playstation tonput Spider-Man 2 on PC. Playstation quite literally pivoting their business model whilst stopping publishers from doing the same. THAT is deliberate sabotage.
I am a PC gamer but you can tell PlayStation is in trouble. They put the games on Steam and even the single player games require a PSN link. Why is that? To fluff up PSN numbers that they can throw in front of investors. I do not buy any games that require a PSN link. I am old school PCMR and want nothing to do with any console. So helping them fluff the numbers is not how I roll.
crazy you say that because as a pc gamer you know damn well almost EVERY game on steam and epic battlenet ubisoft ea xbox all require log ins so i dont get that argument at all when you literally have to have sign ins damn near everywhere and the further we get into gaming the more games are requiring log ins
@@midwestpotato "crazy you say that" because none of those require me to log on to a, "damn" console peasant network. So what of PCMR didn't you understand? I do not sit at the kids table. I'm not here to lend a helping hand to consoles. I wish they had an age limit on them. If you are over 12 years old you can't log on.
As koei fan and as a gamer thats good to hear. I hate exclusively BS especially when its not from the 1st party themselves I get why it exists but its still stupid
I was a little surprised when Rise of the Ronin was exclusive after Wo Long was in gamepass day 1. I hope Sony didn’t buy the ip and Tecmo can release it elsewhere, I’d pick that right up on pc.
Here's the issue with the third-party exclusivity model: it's not 2010-2021 anymore. PC gamers couldn't care less about titles that were once Sony exclusives. Trying to drop a game on PC a year or two later and charging full price? That's not gonna work these days. If you're not releasing on multiple platforms from day one, you're basically missing out on potential sales you could've snagged by going multi-platform from the start. By the time an exclusive game stops being exclusive, all the hype's already gone. PC players are just gonna wait for it to hit a sale because nobody wants to pay top dollar for a game that's old news and lost its shine.
Aaaah, this kind of Good News feels so quenching amid all of that is happening in the gaming world recently. I really enjoyed palying Nioh, and Nioh 2 is in my backlog.
So many triggered blind pew Sony fanboys today. Go read my reply to mushypea you arent worth so much typing. What you need to do is see the things that Sony is doing wrong and push for them to improve because every Sony owner, including myself, should be wanting better from Sony. While you continue to support them blindly and even with so much vitriol they will continue to get worse.
", their back catalogue has performed better than expected, with the recent presentation highlighting repeat sales of the PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin"
So, they decided to go make more money and keep up self-publishing. They've tasted the money. That's how business works. Its usually one or the other with companies. Exclusivity deals can't net them more income.
"Developers don't like game pass as cited by one source" well then developers also don't like 3rd party exclusivity as said by Square Enix I guess. Both are destroying gaming or none of them are. But people like to pick whatever helps their narrative
koei tecmo games will not sale on xbox they only pay for gamepass and thats it now they can move alot of stuff to nintendo but the hardware isnt there yet idk give it a console gen i think ps6 xbox next will be last console gen

Here we go again. Welcome to VG Finacial School. We like to push the narrative here and constantly ware out one subject, just to prove a point. With copious amounts of videos everyday on the same subject rather than talking about games. You'll learn a lot here, gain in-depth knowledge about how shill for your favourite corporation. Remember we dont see both sides of the coin here at this channel. You will find that any comments we reply too will be wrong, no natter you say. Unless you agree with what we say. The force is strong here, sorry the "Narrative." impressive, most impressive....
You're right I have to find a way to try and block this channel on TH-cam his content keeps popping up everywhere 😂 See that's the difference between me and you my friend. Unlike yourself. I watch all types of content from Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, PC, podcasts, whatever. I literally have owned every console , handheld that has come out from Xbox, Playstation Nintendo, Sega etc Soon as you mentioned those two You Tubers, I knew you were an Xbox fanboy. The funny thing is I criticize them too, because they don't give balanced opinions either, much like this channel. I'm truly sorry that I didn't ask for your permission first to make a comment. I'll make sure I ask for your opinion first before I make a comment, so that it aligns with your narrow-minded narrative. Next time I read between the lines of what I said "Two sides of the coin." I can give many examples of both where Xbox/Playstation have made mistakes. Anyway, I digress. Though a little bit of friendly advice. Try not to get upset if someone has a different opinion. It shows a lack of emotional immaturity 👍
@mushypee1 How was my comment emotional, I am not the one writing essays on TH-cam. I also watch lots of different content, but you can't argue that PS fans are the worst, there is no give all take, or everything is Xbox's fault. I also own every console/handheld so I don't bat for any side, but the problem at the moment is the media don't hold PlayStation to account but are so down on Xbox. If you can't handle criticism so channels give to Playstation then don't watch it is simple.
What criticism?. You didn't make any or even a valid point to start with. You just told me to go and watch certain channels. All because you don't like what I said. Both as you know, are PlayStation centric. Then you made the mistake of assuming because of what I wrote that I'm a Playstation fanboy., all because I don't agree with his opinions. Exactly, no give and take. VG in my opinion doesn't' give a balanced opinion. It's everything Xbox does is golden. For me they are both as bad as each other. I could say the same thing about you. If you can't handle criticism, then don't reply to my comment. Though I'm not going to do that. It's just childish telling someone else to go and watch another channel because you don't agree with what they wrote. I mean really, make it make sense. At least come back with something a little intelligible and nuanced than go and watch this channel. It's called an opinion, we don't have to agree.
All of those games named aren't nothing to even try to get an exclusivity deal on Dynasty warriors ? If you played one you played them all . I assure you that 2025 will be like any other year people are going to be salty at the Sony exclusives regardless of which developers don't play ball . Even when we just had just exclusives straight from Sony studios we had exclusive bangers so no actual damage is done everyone can get those games from those studios that's cool but we are still going to get banger exclusives it's been that way before alot of today's gamers were even born. Exclusivity has been the way things were since Atari and calico vision and definitely since the first PlayStation or Xbox even if the selection of development teams decrease exclusives still won't be eliminated on Sony's platform. I've been gaming literally since the beginning I mean the first Atari and I've seen the entire evolution of gaming up until now. I noticed that once PlayStation hit the scene every competitor in the space tried to evolve and Sony stuck with their game plan and prevailed . Just like when Nintendo was in competition with the Sega Genesis Sega was a beast but they tried to evolve and the Sega channel ruined them . Nintendo stuck with their initial game plan and prevailed. Patterns in history repeat themselves and sometimes when you do too much it actually ends up being doing too little. The saying if it ain't broke don't try to fix it is definitely applicable in this it doesn't matter what consumers opinions are money talks and money can make all things happen in business. So it doesn't matter if a game developer is independent if a platform wants that game as long as they are willing to sing the right tune to the ears of the developers they can acquire it. The evidence is already present. I honestly don't think dynasty warriors is going to do extraordinarily well even on all platforms that game has a following but the gameplay is far too repetitive and the way people are whining about every little thing in games they are going to make that into a major complaint. That move didn't bother anyone. Sony consumers still can play it if they want so that was ineffective.
I dont think you realize how many games Japanese games are exclusive on PlayStation. If you were to cross reference the PlayStation store with the Xbox store un 2024, you will realize exactly what Xbox is missing constantly.
LMAO! That's funny because square enix and now koei tecmo has dropped exclusivity deals with sony lol It's almost like sony muppets don't buy games.
