Why would my feelings about it be different if it were the other way around?
Ha! That would be something. But the ps5 can play the ps4 version so at least there's that. Won't take advantage of next gen tech though.......
I REALLY wouldn't put much stake into there not being a PS5 version. The rating having X1/XSX I think is fully due to how the game is marked on the box.
As the game isn't even listed as having 4K or HDR on XSX as of right now.

So it doesn't seem the XSX version of Yakuza 7 is going to be this earth shatteringly different experience than when you put your PS4 disc into the PS5.
It's 100% these. Not sure why people are so dead set on spinning conspiracy theories over this.
Yeah

honestly, I don't even know if it has so much to do with Sega deciding shit. Localization takes time and certainly doesn't happen overnight. Yakuza script sizes are quite sizeable, and I believe 7 has one of the bigger scripts in the series.

Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time - ESRB
Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time - Everyone 10+ - This is a platformer game in which players help Crash Bandicoot travel through time to stop a destructive force.
But maybe with Microsoft's help they were able to release much earlier than they would have otherwise?
Current gen is out. Next gen is not. It's gonna take some work to take advantage of that next gen tech. Maybe Microsoft helped?
Could just be that SEGA decided that it was enough to file for rating and Activision didn't. Or Activision didn't, and might get in trouble for it.
That wouldn't be the case though. Crash 4 has Series X on the box as well but it's not under the Series X Optimized list.
If it was simply just BC, there wouldn't be a Series X Optimized badge on it.
Nope crash 4 has xsx on the box but nob rating for it. This is an exclusive xsx version that Ms probably paid for as part of the game pass deals. XOX also had some exclusive enhancements. Not sure why people think Ms couldn't possibly money hat stuff.
Naw, not something I would assume, given it has that "Optimized for series X" badge and not marketed as a separate thing.

Was talking about Yakuza.
The range of features that can garner an optimized badge seems pretty broad. In the end is just a buzz word were the optimizations could be anything or everything.

to be fair, I don't believe Atlus had, another game they were working on localizing in that 6 months for judgement.
I'm actually very skeptical what it means XSX specific version. Could be a very simple patch to take advantage of the new hardware.
Yeah I'm not skipping all the way to 7 before 3-6 come to PC.
That would be a fair explanation for why it's only Series X for now, but it doesn't explain why they're not being more transparent and specific about the circumstances. It was officially announced a whole year out from release that Sony was working with Sega for the western release of Yakuza 5 for PS3. We're less than 6 months from launch here. We could probably lose the weird tiptoeing around from these corporations in the ways that suits them and only them.
ESRB just rates native versions, not BC. The Zelda Oracles had GBA features that were advertised on the box way back when but it's only rated for GBC.
