Well, it seems they are all going multiplatform. Just one is going faster than the other.

Agreed. I believe that within the next decade, only Nintendo will be the true old school company. I look at Sony's PC releases that started in 2020 and I believe that by next generation, all of their first party games will be PC day one and after that, other platforms because there's simply too much money to be made and console growth has stagnated. None of them are growing. They either decrease or simply maintain what they had. People like to use Switch as an example of growth but they forget about the separate handhelds that Nintendo sold. If anything, they lost double/triple sales as a lot of Nintendo fans would double/triple dip by buying their console and their handheld.

With Microsoft, I would prefer them to just delay the games until they're ready to be everywhere day one because this way, it eliminates the debates and guesswork. If you're a PlayStation 5 only owner, you're not switching to Xbox. If you're someone like me who's subscription based, there's way more beneficial stuff to be had than just exclusivity which is great and all especially for bragging rights but if I had to choose between full/timed exclusivity and no Game Pass for example or no exclusivity at all but the games are day one on Game Pass, exclusivity can fuck off because it simply doesn't benefit me as a consumer/gamer.

Nintendo is one misstep away from prostituting their IPs on mobile and PlayStation, the dominant platforms. Looking forward to watching Nintentots squirm as what happened to Xbots happens to them.
I love that everything from consoles is going to PC. It's a win win for PC gamers. Now, if I could just get into PC gaming. Until then, it's PS and Xbox for me.

Nintendo trips and falls all the time. However, they have such control over their finances and the quality of their products that it doesn't matter; they can take their time and bounce back.

Nintendo has cash reserves to weather several rough generations, and usually when they have a bad gen they bounce back completely making up for it several times over with the very next. I.e Gamecube > Wii, Wii U > Switch.

Also technically their first consoles pre-Famicom/NES weren't big hits themselves; by your logic they'd of stopped right after those and never made the Famicom :/

Also, once Nintendo combined their handheld and console business they pretty much can’t lose. You can’t lose with Pokemon along with all the other stuff.

I think Pokemon titles alone could sustain Nintendo for an entire generation. One entry whether its a remaster or a mainline titles is guaranteed 12m+ in sales at full price.

I do think they will have their hands full with “HD” development moving forward. They are objectively 10 years behind the rest of the industry, the closer they get to modern console gaming the more trouble they will have producing consistent content

What's the point of timed exclusivity?
It'll provide a temporary bump for Gamepass subs, but the elephant in the room is that we all know Xbox diehards aren't gonna buy it. Might as well launch it day one on PS5 and use the millions of launch sales in their marketing.
Sea of Thieves released on PS5 to great success in Q2 of this year. Microsoft needs to show a year over year increase in gaming for Q2 of next year. To get those results just release another major game on PS5 in that timeframe. Simple.

I don’t think it’s timed exclusivity for the sake of it.

They’re not expecting it to move Xbox consoles or gamepass subs. Not even CoD will move gamepass subs cuz lols Warzone is f2p.

Gamepass screwed them so bad… that the PlayStation release will be the only way for Indy ti make any money and sales.

Disney wants numbers. They couldn’ve contracted the IP to Ubisoft. The last Indy movie was also a mega-flop… the idea is NOT TO FAIL. lol

Welfarepass shills are an embarrassment to the industry. They’ll stil ask for more handouts even tho it’s clearly bankrupting studios. This makes them villains and a danger to gaming as a whole.

All of Xbox will be on PlayStation. The console wars are legit over right now…. Until a new console maker decides to jump in. Home console gaming belongs to PlayStation.

That's the money shot

You'd feel sorry for those who bought an Xbox then gen on the promise of new exclusives and keeping their library. It's the dickhead above who I take pleasure in seeing fall on his fucking arse.

Was this the same clown on the PS5 show earlier this year laughing at Death Stranding 2 and then looked like he ate bees when Kojima announced a PS5 exclusive Not Metal Gear Solid?

Exactly, I have a lot of understanding and even empathy with normal Xbox fans but not that guy...

Indiana Jones will sell more PlayStations than Xbox.

It’ll be whatever xbox owners left that will jump to a platform with a larger and better quality catalog, including their McDonald’s selection of gamepass slop.

Agreed 100% I had a feeling like this with the switch. The amount of staple IP they have control over kinda make them invincible in a way. Their handheld business is second to none and I can’t see that ever changing.

I think it's a matter of them not having the port ready in time, and the fact that the game will probably be mid as fuck (look at the trailers shown...), so this won't be the banger game that would drive millions of copies.

Avowed I firmly believe will be day one on PS5 and they have bigger hopes for it, so that's why it got delayed to next year.

They couldn't delay Indiana because otherwise their year would've been pretty barren, and they needed something for the holidays to keep people subscribed.

Well, there it is. I wouldn't be surprised if FH5 gets announced this week.


HOLD THE LINE!!!
It's funny how Spencer doesn't actually answer these questions he has a hidden double standard everything he responds to. I mean is anyone actually excited for Indiana Jones? I've seen all the movies but thus personally doesn't have me jumping for a it's more disappointing to me then anything.
