Idk abt Yakuza but, yeah Persona series was and used to be Playstation exclusive only, and most of their core fanbase are PS users.
Persona 1 (PS1), Persona 2 Duology (PS1, PSP), Persona 3 (PS2), Persona 3 FES (PS2), Persona 3 Portable (PSP), Persona 4 (PS2), Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita), Persona 5 (PS3, PS4), Persona 5 Royal (PS4).
they don't even bought devs which was multiplatform. if you check, all what they bought, already made games for them.
these guys lies so much and inventing nonsense.
That's pretty damning.
Which is exactly why we're about to hear why that's a GOOD lie, actually.
Xbox Claims Worldwide Regulators Onboard With Activision Blizzard Merger, Canada Disagrees
Oh Canada.
That's a fact they all choose to ignore they see that one game that they would actually want to play and blame Sony for not "sharing." I mean Bungie is the only odd one they bought but they're still honoring the multiplatform agreement. I do recall Bungie approaching Microsoft to be bought or atleast showing interest in going back to work under them but the said they weren't worth the asking price they wanted.
Neither fanbases are massive to be honest, but they sure are concentrated on PlayStation.
Sony doesn't even money hat that much if you account for what else they could be doing.
They could've easily blocked Persona, Yakuza, Dragon Quest, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter or even Resident Evil from ever releasing on Xbox because all of those game sell drastically more on PlayStation.
A lot of stuff Xbox guys claim are moneyhats are just examples of devs not seeing an Xbox version as worth the investment.
Option 1: getting some money from PlayStation, getting sales boost from Sony's market, not having to develop a Series S and Series X version of their games, selling very little on Xbox.
Options 2: getting enough money from MS and extra sales on Xbox to justify making a Series S and Series X version of their games and losing on the Sony money/marketing/support.
The reason Sega is so mad is likely that their games were not deemed important enough to get the same treatment that Final Fantasy got.
Man we already did. It's so tiring. McAssfrey claiming it was justified because of moneyhats.
Phil isnt even getting an invitation to my Christmas parties anymore!
Also this is great news. All of the five eye countries have blocked it or want to block it.
Not your guy and massive is an exaggeration, to put it mildly. Everything is measured relative to something else. Those IPs going exclusive have less of an impact by a huge margin than Bethesda IPs and I'm being kind here. SEGA is an old condom. Persona is the only IP worth a thing and the main userbase is on PS - a niche userbase amplified by Sony at will. All Sony needs is a new partnership to draw your attention to something else that's similar, shiny, with plenty of weeb - amplify, cash in - as they often do (if one partnership fails, they try with someone else until it hits). Sony can make or break third party IPs. SEGA is valuable to Nintendo and the cross in PS/Switch userbase can potentially harm Sony if Nintendo were the ones to acquire them. In MS pocket, full exclusivity = IP death - hence not a significant threat. All these bum pubs from Japan are highly overrated in their industry impact of today, specially when Japan has become a handheld, mobile market most of all. Sony behaves accordingly, otherwise they would be making moves and outplaying or outbidding MS quickly if it was a concern of immediate importance. SEGA would be welcoming Sony's money and attention with open arms as well - who doesn't like to be right beside the winning team and getting the shiny under the sun?
MS money naturally goes to Bethesda, then ABK. And after ABK, EA, Ubisoft, Warner, CD Project Red etc.
SEGA is bottom of the barrel feeder - also as always with a Japanese pub, it will go the way of Konami before it lands on the hands of a competitor to Japanese jewels Nintendo/Sony (politics). Everything in between is allowed.

Lots of buthurt xbot coments there sayin Canada irrelevant
But yet all the 40 other countries that have even less meaning are? Interesting.
I wish they would. Then the games would theoretically be even better being able to code more to the metal and not Xbox One/Series S's lowest common denominator bullshit.
It is not about canada or it's relevancy.
It is about m$ and their lies. Motherfuckers distracting from the obvious foul play.
"These are the ONLY TWO REGULATORS who have these UTTERLY unfounded concerns!"
"No they're not."
"SHUT UP, CANADA!"
Sony doesn’t care too much about Sega. The only publisher where Sony has interest to acquire is Square Enix. Because FF, KH, Nier and DQ sell more than Sega games combined. If Sony goes after a Japanese pub then it will be Square.
