It's nice to want things
They really don't have as much incentive to do so as the other way around though

He was playing Diablo 4 for a long time according to his Xbox profile lol. Probably doing the seasonal leveling before he could get on the podcast. :D
And I want Shenmue 4 on literally anything. Which still somehow feels like a more likely ask than Mario on Xbox lol.
Theres already a Sony first party game that comes out on xbox every single year (its even on game pass so its the better version)
Both Sony and Microsoft this week have pretended like MLB The Show doesn't exist, I don't why but I find that amusing as someone who genuinely likes the game

I don't know Phil. Who benefits from Starfield and Indiana Jones not being on PS?
Yes and I want Banjo Kazooie, Clockwork Knight and Metal Arms to be premiere franchises in this industry Phillip, but that's not going to happen is it?! Grow up mate.
I want Helldivers 2 on game streaming apps at the bare minimum. Why isn't it on GeForce Now?
Xbox's lower install base is a reason why Sony and Nintendo aren't in any rush to bring games to Xbox, Sony would sooner have their games on a Switch and same for Nintendo.
I don't think giving up your store-front and the reason (exclusives) why people would specifically chose to come to your store-front is the future...

I mean of course he does, who wouldn't?
Sony will try this out when Marathon comes out and we'll see how it does, I imagine.

I think that's the most important context. If he believes not bringing games to other platforms like Xbox simultaneously isn't helping the industry, it seems like he might be leaning towards bringing games to PlayStation simultaneously
Sony gonna extend the olive branch with Bloodborne remastered.
Doubt it will happen, would rather Phil Spencer working so that indie games like Gravity Circuit wouldn't skip Xbox or japanese games like any of Falcom's games such as the Ys or the Trails series, seems more likely than Uncharted or Returnal on Xbox, let alone any Nintendo franchise.
Much less incentive (and directly damaging due to their position) for Nintendo and Sony to be porting to other consoles.
I doubt MLB and Marathon would appear on Xbox if it wasn't part of the licensing/acquisition-requirements.

We don't really know anything about Marathon at this point, but yeah, probably.
Same, I don't wanna pay for plus anymore but this is the game that's gonna bring me back if I can find a nice price.
I can see Helldivers 2 on every, except GamePass. Maybe after a PlayStation Plus release down the line we will see how Sony expands the series past PC of PS5.
I can see Sony live service games maybe making to Xbox for all that MTX money.
Their prestige AAA single-player games? Not happening any time soon.

I mean it clearly benefits SIE by them owning the only console that a hit new viral game is available on. Whether that outweighs having a larger potential player base is a point of discussion, but it's not some weird contortion to see the point. No different from how Xbox are championing having Palworld, except for owning the IP.
Even worse, if he says that then how are Starfield amd Indiana Jones not being on Playstation benefiting anyone by his own logic? This was the inevitable consequence of trying to have a cake and eating it, all messaging is inherently contradictory.

He's right when it comes to a multiplayer GAAS like Helldivers. There's a reason Sony launched a game like that day one on PC and not Spider-man 2.
It would legit not surprise me if Fairgames$ or Concord ended up on Xbox at some point in their future, assuming they succeed. Bungie's continued support on Xbox could convince Sony to see the value in it.

I do think it's logical for live service games to be console-agnostic.
Destiny 2 is on Xbox, Fallout 76 is on PlayStation - that works and it probably shouldn't be reserved to platforms that were 'grandfathered in' prior to acquisitions.
It feels like something PlayStation will have to bite the bullet on sooner or later if they really want to get serious about building a live service library.
