Not quite sure how that's the case. PS5 owners are getting the same games.
By the way insiders talk about it it must be both Starfield and GTA.
The "widely known multiplatform games" is the part that disgusts me. People saying "but Microsoft announced 22 exclusives" have no idea what they're talking about, 22 1st party or new 3rd party IP games are not the same damn thing as say COD, Battlefield or GTA.
The general public buys consoles based on 1st party exclusives and established 3rd party franchises, for example a person might buy a PS4 for The Last of us 2 and Battlefield 6 when it releases, if Microsoft came out tomorrow and announced that BF6 is now 12 months exclusive to Xbox that person has been misled because every other Battlefield game in the franchise has released day and date at the same time on all platforms.
Whenever any of the big 3 does something like this it should be frowned upon not cheered.

So do you and others talk about launch games (2020-2021) or will we see 2022 and more too?
Most of us enjoy the teasing. It's what the more popular threads of the gaming side are built on. So maybe you can ignore the comments and carry on?

It's just a bit annoying to have all these hints without an actual hint towards what games we're talking about. For all we know it's being way overblown, or it's actually something fucking batshit insane like CoD or GTA.
This forum is definitely not built on insiders sometimes dropping a hint or two, lol.
People have always bought regardless of party. What ever console has the best games. Back in PS1 and PS2 days there were way less multi platform games.
When its constantly teased with no other information or any real context added to it then people are sure to get annoyed with it.
Yeah no. I like actual getting hints. what the hell wrong with y'all
Just PS1\PS2 Sony .
Plus you always talk about marketing and this one of the best ways to market there console.
You can't say they not spending that money to keep people in there platform lol.
I think the word shocking there implies Bioshock? Might be wrong lol
Which is probably why Sony is doing it. Seems to work in their favor as most people seem to like it based on the reactions to Matts comment.
Well damn. Guess it's a good thing I'm getting a PS5 then lol.
Era sure is going to be electric over the coming months....
I love all this teasing. You can see where this is all going a mile away. I cannot wait for all the threads to come.
Maybe you can ignore my comment and move on? There's a difference between teasing something meaningful and saying stuff like 'big things are coming'. I can give you some teases like that too: next year we're gonna have a lot of games, in the space of ten years we'll have the sucessor to the PS5, see? Not that hard.
When you look at how much the gaming division is pulling in for Sony as a whole, it's easy to understand why they want to make their platform the place to play. If MS dropped their gaming division tomorrow, it would be a drop in the bucket for them.
I don't think this has any bearing on the cost of the system.
It's the same. Just because you want to add conditions to justify one doesn't mean it's not.
So you're saying the Xbox One would've sold the same amount of units if COD, Battlefield and GTA weren't playable on it for 1 year?
Also I'm well aware of the past I'm specifically talking about this gen and next gen.
So money hatting Tomb Raider is the same as money hatting The Gunk? Lol
Here's the thing though, pal. We know Imran and Matt actually know stuff. So if your average Joe says "shit is going down next month" it's not the same as Shinobi or Jeff Grubb saying it. For obvious reasons
Yea there are a lot of people on here who equate those as the same thing.
Let's see how the exclusives compare once Violent Sony starts flexing! :)
Oh, i'm sure it doesn't, Deals like this are probably panned out long before now independent of console price.
But, i'd rather money have gone into subsidizing the price than this (if it were a choice), naive thinking maybe.
Listen buddy, the post that the person quoted says ' Yeah, there is a lot of it coming and the scale will be shocking.', this could be in any timeframe, a month, a year, ten years. I can guarantee you there will be a lot of things coming on a big scale in the next 5 years and I don't need to be an insider.
You don't think they would if they could? I mean they have in the past, like at the beginning of this generation when it was uncertain how each console would sell. These deals are easier for Sony to sign because they're excluding a smaller portion of consumers. Sony want to widen that gap even further, so it makes sense.
Not saying it's right, but it's the position they're in.
Established franchises with fanbases on the platform vs new AA IP
I'm sure you can spot the line if you look closely
I'm not suggesting that this means they're not going to fund BB2 or something, but there's clearly a fair bit of investment here, that could have gone to a game. Even an AA would be beneficial to long time PS players, whereas this doesn't help anyone really
