Microsoft Earnings Q4 2022

[Heisenberg007]

Are you guys serious? My post literally says published by someone else on Xbox, aka not Sony. And you’re trying to explain to me how Sony develops the game

Well no shit. But it coming out on Xbox is not a Sony decision, it’s an MLB decision. I hope that clears it up for you detectives.

So if it is the publisher's decision to pick and drop the platforms, then we should blame Capcom for SF5 and SquareEnix for Final Fantasy and Forspoken and Bethesda for Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, instead of Sony, right?

Those aren't Sony decisions either, right?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Did MS start hiding it's sales after a shitty release?

Don't mention teh sales!

You have no answer because you know your logic is flawed. Find something else to cope with

The only ones hiding numbers are Sony. To this day they're hiding the Vita numbers. They're also hiding PS5 software sales. I wonder why

As I read the latter part of the thread, it reads as gloating about an upcoming monopoly from the same people who used to cry about "Sony becoming too powerful".

On one hand, it's unfair that Sony manages to get third party (in most cases timed) exclusivity deals in an equal playing field, while on the other hand, buying out publishers is ok for Microsoft if they are the only ones who can afford to and nobody's fault if Sony can't afford to.

Same ridiculous hypocrisy carrying over from that other forum.

The ABK deal is anti-competitive and everybody knows it. The FTC is going to let it pass because it gives an American company an advantage, everybody knows that too. US institutions are not what they were 30 years ago, MS is one of the companies that uses lobbying the most.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

They are both soulless corporations, but if you ask me which is objectively more powerful and therefore dangerous...

I'm assuming you are talking about Sony being more powerful right? They are the market leader afterall and shown an ability to deny 3rd party titles to big bad MS.

Yes, Sony is more powerful than The Microsoft Corporation because they were able to get Final Fantasy. The White House is sending troops to Sony HQ right now. Winnie the Pooh and Biden are shook

Why do you think Sony hides the Vita numbers?

Is it because Vita didn't match expectations? Or was it because it was way too successful and Sony wants to avoid the evil eye?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Why do you think Sony hides the Vita numbers?

For the same reason they hide PS5 software sales, I think.

Sony isn't big enough to start "hiding" successes like Microsoft, Google, Apple and so on.

Another ace detective. Blame whoever you want for whatever you want, who cares? But you’re comparing moneyhat exclusive deals to a situation where Sony was forced to make a game multiplat or lose the license and thus lose out on MLB stubbz micro transaction money.

And WHAT exactly is that reason in your opinion?

Stop running away and face your fears, Bernd

It's a big mystery why Sony hides only very specific numbers while Microsoft "hides" all the numbers throughout all of its subdivisions, no matter how successful these subdivisions undoubtedly are

Working agreements don't allow it, unfortunately

If it's a "big mystery" to you, then you can't be sure about the profitability of these campaigns as the "how successful these subdivisions undoubtedly are" indicate.

Pick one. Both these things are self-contradictory.

I mean yeah, I could try to ignore how incredibly successful Azure has been, for example, but it would take a lot of effort.

The game is developed by Sony.
Get Rekt.

Never said or implied it wasn’t, console warrior.

The one that is published by someone else on Xbox and has nothing to do with Sony?

The game was developed by Sony and has everything to do with them.
Again, get Rekt and take the L.

You apparently can’t read or understand context. Sony had nothing to do with it coming out on Xbox. Better luck next time, warrior. I guess it sucks to create an echo chamber and still be so wrong Not wasting any more time with you.

So? Still a Sony developed the game. Sony has everything to do with the game. I'll accept your concession of defeat.
Here, for you:
