We're 5 years into a consolidation war. Releasing games isnt enough anymore. I know that sounds crazy, but thats the reality now.
Final Fantasy XIV possibly coming to Xbox Series S|X. Phil on stage in Japan |UP| Updated rumors.
- Thread starter Gods&Monsters
- Start date
First Atlus now Square Enix... It's truly over for Playstation
Fire Hermen

Wut?
Consolidation war?
Since start there is no war at all.
One company delivery games and got it sales for that.
Other company is stagnated in the time and outside a hardcore Xbox fanbase nobody wants to buy it.
News headlines, aquisitions, 13 years old games already in all platforms, etc doesn't grow a brand.
Releasing great games do.
What exactly changed from Xbox from 10 years ago and today? Nothing... errrr Gamepass
I swear some of you here jumping fast to Doom & Gloom. This means nothing and FF14 will flop there. It’s not on GP or that lizard Phil Spencer would brag his mouth about it. Every company needs to honour existing contracts, this not something which was negotiated in a year. It’s known for years that Square Enix was working on FF14 version for Xbox. MS will never get Square Enix. Keep in mind Bungie‘s future content and games will hit Xbox. This means nothing. You guys fall for this gloating really easy. Ignore this annoying Xbox fanboys. Jeez…
What consolidation war? Youre right, its not a war. Its one company buying the industry and the other passively watching.
Seriously all the doom mongers in here.
Do us a favour and save yourself the misery.
Get an Xbox if you believe your drivel.

And? Embracer brought the industry too.
I mean it is not clear?
You can buy the whole industry but if you don't delivery then it is nothing.
Aquisitions doesn't build a brand.
Releasing good games regualary do.
And this "war" is lost already (there is no way to stop PlayStation anymore... even big Xbox fans already realized that and started to spin)... maybe next gen there is another chance.
This forum has gotten really bad about stuff like that.
Imagine if the news that MS had acquired 7 studios + Bethesda + Activation + Blizzard was delivered on the same day 4 years ago. It's not something that can be played down and you can not think the Xbox of today is what Sony will be going against 5 years from now.
MS being Sega closest partner is already bizarre enough, they are now pretty close to Capcom and Square Enix as well.
Sony ain't got nothing cooking besides partnerships for GaaS games and Chinese vaporware. That is Jim Ryan vision for PlayStation.

he is nothing to do with it. still of course, he should be fired, because studios sucks now. but it is all Jimbo.
They’re reacting as though SE has been acquired or FF17 is Xbox exclusive.
Don't be rational. Just grab the popcorn and laugh .
Xbox already won the Acquisition war. Now it's time for the money hat / IP wars to begin...
Who will win this round?
Will it be Playstation who is now running to China & Korea for exclusives or Xbox who will be Targeting everything PS gamers enjoy?

I just want Hermen gone first, he will be the death of Worldwide Studios
yeah, i agree. we went through this. m$ can't buy shit in japan, just old games and one or two exclusives, it is all they can.
but still, people keep proceeding with doom and gloom.
This news shows that Sony ain't buying anyone and all MS moves will go unanswered pretty much guaranteeing that in 10 years PlayStation won be around.
PC it is then, thanks to Jim Ryan, let's just hope stutter is fixed by 2028.
All is lost.
Who out there can outspend MS, though? Not Sony, for sure.
It sucks that MS, the most tedious and dull corporation of all, is doing it, but Sony can’t do shit about it without killing itself in the process.
Maybe, selling the company to some Saudi king, or Google, China, or Amazon could level the playing field.
