And they've now acquired 2 major publishers with some of the biggest IPs in gaming. That's a lot of games that'll be exclusive to Xbox.
They did and Bethesda are having their worst track record ever. Starfield is MIA, two months to release and nobody is talking about it.

Maybe they were interested but not enough to buy a console. Idk why anyone would get worked up over such an old game anyways
I wouldn’t worry too much tbh. Japanese games don’t do well on Xbox and FFXIV won’t do well either, it’s just how things are.

It's not about the game itself; it's about Microsoft's end-game and them potentially leveraging this game as a means of sweeping in to later down the line, just outright acquire Square-Enix. This, after months of them paying congress people to fabricate claims of Sony blocking Japanese games from releasing on Xbox, and galvanizing their fans to do the same. This, after Microsoft themselves were the reason XIV took 13 years to reach Xbox due to ass-backwards policies they held on for so long. This, after leaked emails showing that Microsoft wrote up pitches to propose an acquisition of Square-Enix and other 3P publishers who see the vast majority of their sales success on PlayStation (and whom Sony seemingly have close partnerships with).

It's all of these things adding on top of one another, it's not simply isolated to XIV finally getting an Xbox port. To the genuine people out there who haven't had a hateboner for Square-Enix all this time, or tried downplaying the success of their games that happen to be PlayStation exclusives, haven't been port-begging since forever and just want a FF game to play on their Xbox? Cool for them, I'm glad they get another option. But there are a LOT of people who aren't like that, have weaponized SE PS exclusives to attack PS for years, and now are teasing MS acquiring SE or getting stuff like XVI "in quick order" or other nonsense, and Microsoft enabled that to fester and grow. They encouraged it.

Hopefully you understand the big picture POV on this.

This is so funny.

Are people still going make up worst case events and be concerned for PlayStation?

This literally changed nothing.

Keep being scared of MS marketing tactics if you wants. I ain’t no fool. MS loves keeping green rats and the media on a permanent string of looking to the future to hide how bad Xbox is doing.

And Sony’s partners doesn’t know that?

They are not dumb… they use the situation to give a 13 years old FF game and an unknown Kojima experimenta project that nobody know if it will even happen to Xbox.

While that keep FFVIIR2 and Death Standing 2 on PlayStation.

That is the scenario… when Square Enix allowed FFXVI and FFVIIR to reach Xbox PlayStation fans will already be playing FFXVII, FFXVIII, and what come after FRVIIR3.

I wonder if Square Enix laugh when they see they reaction of Xbox fans
They are not dumb...but Ninja Theory is gone, Bethesda is gone, Activision Blizzard is laughing and shitting on Sony publicly, Sega is deleting the PS logo from all their trailers as we speak and giving away their games for free on Xbox, Kojima is posing with Phil every other month, Square is celebrating on stage with Phil.

Wow great partners. Sony is lucky to have them 👏

Maybe some of you guys can finally breath.
This man is exactly saying the same things like some of us have beendet telling you right from the start:



This will be even worse than PSO2. When they see how much work they need to put in to set up their account, mostly will halfway stop. Especially when they find out they need to pay monthly a fee of 15 Euros or Dollars. 💀
I predict less than 100-50 FF14 will have players on Xbox.
