This franchise is entertaining xbox for the first time

All baseball fans are on PS

also Xbox has traditionally had very very small market share of sports games compared to PS 

 

It's fair that you think this way, but it's incorrect. Baseball is (only) big in the US (aside from Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea) and... guess where the biggest Xbox market is.

Watch some simple baseball 101 videos on youtube. The Show to me is the best current sports game series. Even their ultimate team is not predatory like EA or 2K.

 

I'll do that, thanks! I wouldn't mind giving it a try, especially considering it's just sitting there.

Yea, he doesn't really convey a confident understanding of the medium like House, Hirai, and Kutaragi did. Hopefully he's letting Herman Hulst make key decisions, but I'm not sure who had a bigger call when it came to de-prioritizing Japan Studio.

 

One thing he seems to be doing is pushing more properties multi-media? The TLoU series, the Uncharted movie, etc. etc.

I don’t get why he gets so much flank, considering he s overseeing the best years in playstation history

Jim Ryan? Fair point, but those 2019-2020 games started development years in advance. They were probably greenlit by predecessors? All of this is just opinion/best guess speculation, of course.

You would have been right 

 

If this baseball franchise was multiplatform historically 

but it was not 

 

All baseball fans are on PS anyway 

 

So US being an Xbox turf doesn’t stand here

coz PS is baseball turf

 

You're right, this particular franchise hasn't been. But I think you want to look at baseball in general here.

 

If you look at the overlap between Xbox ownership and baseball fans, you'll find that it's pretty big in the US. It's a big untapped market, with money to be made.

 

Baseball (and sports games) traditionally have always been multiplatform. I feel this MLB game was/is the exception. Sony became the solo licensee when 2K either didn't bid for or lost the license a few years ago (iirc). I think there were competing MLB games on all platforms until then.

They want to have their own blockbuster franchises for movies which I don't think is really gonna work out. But time will tell. 

 

The Last of Us series should be excellent. Uncharted has the Venom director on it. I never got round to watching Venom :/

Don Mattrick came from EA, stayed at MS for 7 years, spread all raita with Xbone and then disappeared at Zynga

 From the link 

“This works only if game pass ULTIMATE is currently not active on the account (regular game pass is fine tho). If it is, then either wait for it to expire and then try this method (But you’ll be charged the full month rental rather than the discounted trial fee) or create a new account if you aren’t too tied up to your account. If there was an ULTIMATE subscription before and it expired, you can still load up on Xbox live gold and convert it but it will be 800 for the 1 month ultimate rather than the 50Rs initial trial.”

Tbh, most of the leaders I've personally enocuntered in work are clueless about actual work, very good with words.

Bro I think it means it will cost you 800 for the conversion instead of rs. 50

Most of my friends just create new account for GP whenever something big is added. You can have main profile account if you care about it/trophies while using new GP account on store. 

 

Ultimate is not needed on PC. You don't get anything out of it really unless you care about xCloud or need Xbox gold for your console.
