I totally get why people who are in the Sony ecosystem only and do not have a gaming PC would be very upset about this. These are huge multi platform games which are no longer coming to their platform of choice.
Imagine if the next GTA suddenly became Sony exclusive. Would we be saying 'well it's better to come to terms with this now'.
Starfield has been in development for a long time, so probably 2021 or 2022. ES6 is in early development at best, that thing's gonna take forever to come out.
This sounds like it'll just be playing around with the occasional Switch port of more scalable games. Microsoft should really troll and release games on PS5, but only ports of the Switch versions
So why don't Sony and MS release their big games on each others console? It's more $$$ after all. The fact is these high budget AAA games are designed to move systems. That isn't happening if you put them on your competitors platform.
The previous studios MS have bought already shows that they honour past contracts. This is a mute point.
where's your common sense? How can you compare demon souls to outright buying a company and making games that were previously third party and that were going to come out 100% because they weren't struggling at all.
What's funny is I think in some recent video someone said...MS is kind of a 3rd party publisher.
Welp, here you go.
I'm sure MS will be ok to have Xcloud on PS5 and allow PS5 users play their Gamepass service games on it.
Nope, they're all gonna lose their minds if XSX/PC only gets confirmed, haha.
But yeah, they should respond the same way but I doubt it severely based on other threads in a similar vein.
Yep, that's how I read it. Makes sense. Big IP - multiplat (with perhaps an Xbox 1 yr exclusivity etc), medium titles - who knows, smaller titles exclusive to Gamepass.
They should not bring Starfield or Fallout 5, the next Doom to Playstation consoles. This would be an excellent way to increase console sales by just keeping it on PC and Xbox. We've been hearing that consoles ownership is a great way to tie users to the ecosystem and make even more money than if they bought it to PS5.
TES6 will be released "after" Starfield. Starfield doesnt have a date afaik; but my educated guess would be 'second half of 2021'.
Not sure if you're playing dumb, but by the time those games release, we'll have the next Switch, which will probbably be more than capable of running them.
Feels like games that are in the concept stage now and will be released in 3-5 years will be increasingly unlikely to make it to PlayStation.
Which means grabbing a Series S or equivalent in a few years will make perfect sense for anyone that just has a PS5

To hell with the exclusivity. Launch it everywhere. Most likely contracts are already signed though.
If Sony had bought Rockstar, then yes? You can not like the move but still accept that it has happened rather than go through all the stages of grief in the slightest hope that your console of choice receives a specific game.
Skyrim VR was pretty cool but we have to remember Sony Version of their game was gabarge compare to other platform so.....
The difference is that PC users can obtain a Gamerpass PC service unlike the PS5 users.
"Xbox exclusives" always come to PC, and often to Switch if it makes sense per game, anyway. It's only a weapon against Sony if that's the route they take. And you therefore have at least two, sometimes three, options for platforms on which to play those games.
Xbox + PC + Android (xCloud) + sometimes Switch is more than enough platform coverage. Why would they feel compelled to release on Playstation rather than have the person with only a Playstation buy into their ecosystem?
People already in the ecosystem should be thrilled because of the value it adds to the service they are paying for. That's very different from a company just paying for exclusivity to something you were going to pay for in the first place.
I sure am going to take your word for it without any receipts stranger from the internet.
If Elders Scrolls VI was exclusive wouldn't they already confirm that, in order to move more units in November? Or do you think they will hold off to announce it later on for a potentiall bigger splash?

Lol.
I bought a PS4 for Street Fighter V even though I would have preferred to keep playing the series on Xbox. I survived. The world kept turning.
Fallout, Doom, and Elder Scrolls fans will survive too.
TES6 will be day 1 on PS5, mark my words. There's no chance they will want to stagger or lacerate sales with the potential this game has.
Starfield I can see a year or so delay.
All other big titles (Doom, Fallout, Wolfenstein etc) I can see them phasing out multi-platform releases over the next 5 years but in the short term nothing changes.
As consumers we won't see any impact from this for at least 3 years.

They've owned the studio like 15 minutes. Im sure those decisions haven't been made yet.
I could absolutely see Starfield and TESVI being timed exclusives. Like a year or so after they release a GOTY version which comes out on PS5. Or they could be 100% exclusive...who knows. Only time will tell I guess. Maybe it'll depend on the gaming landscape. Those games are so far out.
i think multiplayer games will come but single players tuff excl. future doom games def not touching PlayStation tho
Lol people think MS spent 7.5 billion on Bethesda for indie games for gamepass? Gunna be some really disappointed people when some of these future AAA titles only make their way to PC, Xbox and Xcloud.
I think the smart play is to have them as timed exclusives until Microsoft is ready to throw them on gamepass. Then release them on other consoles
If Xbox don't put their IP on Playstation then it's bad business. But Playstation don't sell their games on Xbox.
Why is it any different?
It shouldn't matter if an IP was multiplatform in the past imo
It would be nice if they don't exclude bethesda games from playstation, as long as, those games are day one on gamepass, I don't think they actually need them to be exclusive. However, at some point, the games are going to be fully funded by Microsoft and they may make them exclusive to xbox and pc. Hopefully by that time xcloud is viable for most people to easily play them.
