MLB: The The Show about to go multi platform in 2021, no longer a PlayStation Exclusive
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
As long as Sony keeps making Playstation consoles, their first party titles will never touch PC, so no
Sony just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase MLB: The Show for either system, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
Sony, publicly apologize and cancel MLB for Xbox or you can kiss your business goodbye.

With the thread title like that you cant help but to expect it come out from both sides, I'm happy that everyone will get to play now
Eh who knows you never know with license games. I mean this is a very good thing but still we dont know the actually details of how it happen.
I doubt they can ask for that any time soon as I believe they signed a multi-game deal with Sony. I mean they probably wanted at least a trilogy. They knew what they were getting into having Marvel's Spider-Man as a PS4 game and now a first party game after they purchased Insomniac.
Gross. I hope it just get ported down and doesn't cause the game to be gimped visually then.
sony fanboys don't lol. and ive been seeing a lot more of them on this site lately. lots of new users coming in.
Because Sony San Diego has proven they're very good at making baseball games? MLB's history around the license on other platforms is checkered at best- see the awful 2K games.
I hope this is a sign that platforms are dead and you can play wherever/however you want now.
Or Sony got a discount long term. I mean they are not stupid. Who else is gonna make baseball games?
I'd imagine it even if MLB pressed Sony held the leverage. EA ain't making any baseball games.
This is a win win everybody eats!
Yeah, I don't think it's happening either especially being the most successful game on the platform. I'm just wondering if it could but you're probably right, it will have to be after a couple of games if anything.
Maybe it'll get some deserved attention and respect for innovations that no other sports series does, as far as I'm aware.
I'm guessing this means that MLB is giving up on trying to make RBI Baseball a thing again.

Wow. One of my main reason for sticking with Playstation was because of The Show every year. Is it going to be Show 20 or 21 when this kicks in? Might actually sell my PS4 if 20 is going multiplatform.
Edit: I'm a fucking idiot, it says it right in the title lol
I highly suspect someone like EA or 2K wanted the license and SIE had to go multiplatform to keep it. Good move by SIE though regardless.

I'm curious if Sony will actually publish this on other platforms. So far they haven't with stuff like Journey, Detroit, and Death Stranding.
With sprites from Nintendo and Sony games.
Mario playing against Rudy from Wild Arms.
Especially since all PS people own PCs based on the threads round here.
I’m not really into sports games, but MLB The Show has always interested me. Glad it’ll be available on more platforms.
Not sure if you’re aware but it’s a super old and famous meme lol
Gross? Lol. Some of y'all to invested into this warrior thing
MLB tried to force their hand for years by making their own internal baseball game. They had zero leverage in Sony forcing them to do anything here. Someone made it worthwhile for Sony to do this
The game sells like a million copies every year and is their most successful live service game.
It's going to sell a LOT more now.
People are reading this all wrong. Sony was the only publisher putting real money towards the MLB and producing a quality product. MLB must have dropped the bag (and years of exclusive rights) to Sony for this.
I really wouldn't read into it much further regarding their other first-party games.

It's best to wait when it comes to these kinds of things because all answers unveil themselves eventually. Maybe at SoP tomorrow. Maybe next year. Maybe never (though I can guarantee that'll never happen since it'll be more about ecosystems by the end of this gen).
Yeah, it'd be wild having a Sony first-party studio with Xbox and Switch dev kits. I think a port house will do it, though.
I'm throwing my 500 Limited Edition PS4 in the trash ... Not even worth of a trade in.
What the fuck is next...
Death Stranding
Now this...
I mean what the fuck...
