This is what I was thinking. I think their MMO's will be across all platforms, but games like FF7R, and any other remake, Dragon quest title will be a case by case basis.

It really become worse lately in this forum. People tend fast to swing in doom and gloom mood all day…
I'm not the only one sick to my stomach by all these Japnese Devs slowly turning their backs on PlayStation right? PlayStation seems like a lonelier place this Generation. Sony needs to speak up about.
The silence is deafening!
Japanese devs have not turned their back on playstation, what on earth are you talking about?

Day by day you show that you are nothing but a troll in disguise to rile people up.
People have been acting pretty silly on this forum lately.
Losing Bethesda, Ninja Theory, Obsidian & Activision was massive and possibly Sega. So please forgive me for panicking
Sony needs to hurry up and drop a bombshell announcement

Dude acquiring a company of the size of a publisher is not child’s play. Gaming publishers are probably one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. Even Phil Spencer admitted back then when they announced to acquire Zenimax, that talks started 2.5 years ago. Means Microsoft talked to Bethesda around 2017. This is not something that happens over night. And I imagine that acquiring a Japanese gaming company might involving more difficult bureaucracy. I honestly have no doubt that Sony will secure Square Enix. Sony values aside Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy a lot. No way in hell Sony would watch someone grab them.
its too late. MS has his claws on it
Sony should’ve acquired or at leas formally invested in Square in the last 18 months
I can already imagine the news report
"Microsoft and Square Enix announce partnership to explore game development using Azure cloud infrastructure"
that's exactly how it will happen. It’s so frustrating

No it’s not lol. This is just your fantasy going wild. If your assertions would be in the slightest true then Square Enix would have no reason to move out their current HQ in Shinjuku. Shinjuku is home of many multi-platform developers and publishers such as Sega the most prominent example. Square Enix would never move into an expensive area of Tokyo if they really would partnering with Microsoft. Especially not this close to Sony’s door step in Minato/Shibuya.
Nah this your fantasy playing with your mind. Square Enix rejected Microsoft twice for their approach on them to buy them. I highly doubt it was because of a too low offer. Japanese publishers won’t sell to MS, even Sega rejected Microsoft twice lol.
Possibly dumb question.....
Can Sony acquire small developers in China? For instance UltiZero Games or any other China Hero Project developer? Or does China have regulations against these type buyouts?

It looks like PS5 is the plataform that will sell 50m and Xbox is the one going to sell 120m+ and not the other way around.

Xbox somehow controls the narrative and the direction of the game industry while being completely rejected by players.
Do you remember the narrative about Sony hiding games and that we should wait for the showcase? Sony was then hiding their hand because of the ABK deal. Now we got a showcase that sucked after 2 years of silence, the ABK deal is pretty much done and all we get it Sony promoting Goodbye Volcano High as one of their next big games.
Most folks here believe Sony to be infallible, despite all the evidence of the contrary.
It's the same thing Xbox is doing. Wait for...
Wait for the next showcase, wait for an acquisition. They totally have something ready, they just can't show anything because of the MS deal.
Yep, when in reality things are a lot less interesting, games are taking longer to make, more resources are being directed towards GaaS and PC ports, too many sequels they need to take care of, not enough studios.
Sony is not going to show up with a bunch of unannounced games releasing before Wolverine so we are already looking at 2025 and beyond for when they finally announce something new.
Both companies have stuff coming. Sony has Spiderman out within 60 days. This pacing is as it ever was.
Not the pace of future announcements, that one is at an all time low and games don't tend to be announced and then released soon. If Sony announces something later this year we are likely talking about 2025 and beyond already.
The first three years been strong thanks in part to many crossgen games is no guarantee that the rest of this gen will be he same when we are kept completely in the dark about the future.
depends what’s written in for breaching. Also contracts can be amended and how Bungie is integrated could be changed in the future provided both parties agree.

Dude stop the doom and gloom. Microsoft will buy shit. They will never get Square Enix. I swear the forum is getting worse and worse. You all are so fragile minded. Jeez…
