Actually for you it’s a no brainier but then again you hardly even play COD(I guess). The majority of player base in FIFA,COD,Fortnight,PubG don’t buy much games throughout the year. Let alone subscribe to a service & play nothing else. It makes sense for them to buy 1-2 game a year rather than spending whatever monthly charge M$ has planned to be their source of income by 2024. I think all depends on how far M$ is willing to keep their subscription as low as it is currently. & what it’s planning to do about roughly 18m player base on PS which is like much more it has of it’s own.

No wonder xc*cks are on overdrive since yesterday Sony got established and older gaming division. MS internal gaming division was very weak and generally ignored by MS. Xbox one launched hurt them even more But now MS is serious about gaming. They have spent almost 80b in total to strengthen first party and fruits of these acquisition will show by 2024 and with Uncle Spencer 3nd biggest executive in MS after Satya and the MS CFO, Xbox here to stay. PS will remain strong for now in console market but future no one knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had given up on other major projects within few years, whereas they've been chugging along for 20years on gaming, surviving, now it seems they'll aim to dominate, and with their pitless bank accounts it just might be possible.

radicaldude Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 MS (in)famously assumed they'd own Donkey Kong in the Rare acquisition. I think maybe they've thought they now own Uncharted and Last of Us this time, as a part of a package with crash bandicoot. ? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/microsoft_execs_thought_they_owned_donkey_kong_after_acquiring_rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 It’s over dude I’m shutting shop on console wars. Just no point. Though yeah the actuality of whatever is happening needs to be reflected only once M$ actually started getting returns with whatever they have in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 SONY game revenue comes from 3rd party games...like CoD and FIFA yearly. Their 1st party games sold 60m units out of 340m total units sold. Entire gaming division made $25b which includes hardware and network services sales and not just video games. Quote All of this added to a great year for the G&NS division, with total sales amounting to ¥2.7 trillion ($24.8 billion), up 34% year-on-year. Software and add-on sales made up the bulk of this at ¥1.5 trillion ($13.8 billion), up 43%. Hardware sales rose 34% year-on-year to ¥767.1 billion ($7 billion), while network services such as PS Plus rose 14% to ¥382.9 billion ($3.5 billion). MS gaming revenue was never that big (and still isn't for MS) but that shouldn't mean they make nothing. They have been improving at a steady pace ever since GP launch. All these purchases will show results in couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Microsoft Deal Wipes $20 Billion Off Sony's Market Value in a Day Quote Sony Group Corp. shares fell 13% in Tokyo on Wednesday, their biggest drop since October 2008, after PlayStation rival Microsoft Corp. announced a $69 billion deal to acquire games publisher Activision Blizzard Inc. Quote “Sony will have a monumental challenge on its hands to stand on its own in this war of attrition,” said Amir Anvarzadeh of Asymmetric Advisors. “With Call of Duty now most likely to be added exclusively to the Game Pass roster, the headwinds for Sony are only going to get tougher.” “Sony will struggle to match Microsoft in terms of money it can spend to buy popular game IP,” Morningstar Research analyst Kazunori Ito said. “Falling shares illustrate investors are worried that Sony may not be able to keep winning if indeed the industry shifts away from the hardware-based model.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Sony is moving real slow in terms of what it needs to do in case of hardware or even traditional retail based distribution goes obsolete. They should have formulated an exit strategy atleast when it saw M$,Google,Amazon investing big in cloud based infrastructure. Obviously there would have been massive acquisitions & trajectory changes when so many big players were eying on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
