"We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games." What a disingenuous CUNT
Must the the 10 year deal initially offered. Still, this is going to suck for everyone in long term.
Yeah, we’re fucked.
This feels like negotiating surrender after a war. Hopefully Sony don't intend to just let Xbox take over the gaming industry and wipe them out though.
Haha, Jim folded.
Now make sure you don't buy a leverage you can use against them.
so is it better to your own demise? wtf is this?
no wonder Ybarra and Phil opened expensive glass of drink when Jimbo was sign as PS CEO.
fucking comedy. incompetent VS incompetent.
Won't work for Sony. If they go the Nintendo way, don't expect the same level of quality and scope of these games.PS needs to do what Nintendo did when it realized they can’t play the powers arms race with PS and MS without going broke. Focus on it’s strength, which is creating great content. No other way around it.
Yeah there's definitely some subtext of "we want to own the industry""We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games." What a disingenuous CUNT
If they meant what he said there they'd be doing a deal similar to the one Sony signed with bungie & allow all activision IPs to remain multiplat , I don't know about everyone else on here but cod isn't one of my favourite games , crash , spyro , prototype , doom , the evil within etc are but I can bet my life they'll not be on my platform of choice because Spencer & co.Yeah there's definitely some subtext of "we want to own the industry"
I don’t think Jim has a choice here. MS has the legal system in its pockets, so there’s no stopping this deal by any lawful means.
PS can’t play the acquisition game because that’s exactly what MS wants, bleeding PS to death in a spending competition.

They are doing it for the last 3.5 years. You have to be pretty blind don't see it.I will said once again: Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst will drag Sony down to the abyss. Mark my words.

Nintendo invests MUCH less in their games. With a smaller budget, say goodbye to these huge PS games. Developing Zelda and Horizon are completely different. Sony needs much larger investments in their first party games.
Yes, of course, keep xbox afloat. Jimbo is a genius.Here's the deal, though. With this move, Sony now subsidizes GP itself. PS will rake in billions for MS. Sony is now directly bolstering their competition's income.
Maybe cutting it off now is better than subsidizing GP for 10 years.
