Nobody is saying "we want less potential customers". This is just pipe dreams. The sales on respective platforms say a different story. Story based games sell more on ps so timed exclusivity is a way to generate a lot of revenue (to break even) before throwing it to subscription services after a year and half.

WhiteWolf Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 2 hours ago, AnK said: But yes as CC rightly said, Ponies are paying the bills for most of the AAA games being developed for last 3 or so years. It also is not good in a sense coz tmrw the developers might actually start to rethink the need to have an Xbox port at launch. Might make that port much later in the life cycle when it’s time to put it on subscription. False. I can prove it. You and Radical are not buying or playing any games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsk_colossus Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 28 minutes ago, AnK said: Timed exclusives don’t really hamper the prospect of reaching out to more demographics. Take Deathloop as the perfect example. It is selling like a AAA killerapp Day1 exclusive on PS5 in year 1 & will drop straight into the hands of ppl not willing to purchase it at full price. From a business standpoint it doesn’t make sense for a developer to invest soo much in developing an Xbox port early on without any sort of return on that port for the longest period,not until M$ pays up & takes it into the sub. but will they get the same amount of money from gamepass if they launch it after 1 month as compared to 1 year later… too many dynamics at work to make generalisation.. Sony/MS pay to get launch exclusives games I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game passers didn't buy the game nor did they play it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porting games to xbox would make little sense (at launch) as games just don't sell on the platformer. Gamepass is even more dangerous for story based titles. Paving the way for more timed exclusives on the PlayStation ecosystem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB is an exception coz it had no footing on other platforms other than PS & was a regionally valued game. Games like Outriders,B4b,Plaguetales 2 & many other low budget AA games make complete sense coming straight to Subscription. I was referring to the likes of Hitman3,RE8,GOTG kinda high budget AAA blockbusters. Which take a lot of money to develop & then port individually on each platform & end up getting next to no response on Xbox. The developers & M$ don’t end up striking a deal either coz of the bomb expenses. Edited November 2, 2021 by AnK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Before Radical it was the green brigade who posted random opinions from the internet. It’s only after his marathon,ppl have suddenly started to have problems with these sort of posts all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
