The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, PlayStation’s social media is already being peppered by disgruntled fans, desperate for the format holder to step up its livestream game.
I think there will be one when they will be revealing the PS5 Pro imo. Also you have to remember that all the games at the Xbox showcase were multiplatform whether they were Xbox/PC only (still considered Multiplatform) or later revealed to be releasing on PS5 too.
Also not once was it said before or after any of the trailers in the showcase was the word Exclusive or console exclusive used and that is pretty telling imo.
Yeah but they are all day 1 on Gamepass, so as far as I am concerned, they are all exclusive to Xbox/PC lol

yeaaa this also.
but to be fair, they could have easily shown off some of them
Gotta wonder if any of the others will come to PS as well... Wish we'd know what their strategy is at this point
They need to buck their ideas up completely and rethink their State of Play shows in my opinion. If it's because they have nothing to show as any announcement will be years off then fair enough but then the question is why are they in that position.
Sony knew when Microsoft bought all these studios that eventually Microsoft would harvest all these games that were in development at the time of their purchase. They have had plenty time to prepare yet it just feels nothing has really come out of it so far. In the years since Microsoft bought Obsidian Entertainment, Ninja Theory and Double Fine around 2018/2019 it was clear they were ramping things up which they were as they went onto buy Zenimax in 2020 and then a couple years after Activision, two publishers with so many studios and IPs under their belt.
In that time Sony has decided to buy studios like Bungie, Haven and Firewalk Studios which are all GaaS related and haven't really put anything together to counter the new IPs Microsoft had acquired.
Everything from Sony at the minute is either third party games or this heavy PC focused most PS5 fans don't really care about.
However. If I was to be fair though and look at the other side of the coin at least they haven't announced games recently that could still be years away which is something that people seem to be giving Microsoft a pass with.
Yes the Microsoft show was great and hopefully it's given Sony a kick up the backside but most of the games shown like Fable, State of Decay 3, Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Perfect Dark and South of Midnight were games that were announced last year and before. The only brand new thing that really surprised me that's an exclusive was Gears of War.
Sony need to start going back to what made many people buy their consoles from the beginning, their first party games you couldn't get anywhere else with great single player experiences. Not every games needs to be AAA, they need to find a good balance.
Xbox definitely had better third-party showings, but I really just want Sony to start showing us first-party titles. There's got to be something new they can show us, right? And it can't just be one or two games, it has to be at least half a dozen.
I mean, at least we know Bungie isn't sitting idly by and Insomniac is doing Wolverine. But ND just cancelled their MP TLoU plans, what are they working on now let alone the second studio they have that's been quiet for 4 years now? Sucker Punch? Bend?
Did all the big studios have ideas that were canned and start working on new things? Was Jim Ryan that bad of a CEO that they veered that far off the path and are working their way back to it?
"I mean, at least we know Bungie isn't sitting idly by and Insomniac is doing Wolverine. But ND just cancelled their MP TLoU plans, what are they working on now let alone the second studio they have that's been quiet for 4 years now? Sucker Punch? Bend? "
If they hypothetically announce something like Ghost of Tsushima 2 and give us a release date within 6-8 months of it's announcement, something like what Bethesda did with Fallout 4s reveal at E3 then I would TOTALLY get their plans and why they've been so quiet. However if they end up announcing their titles and the release dates are still so far off despite being so quiet for years then I'm at a complete loss with it.
Having a change in strategy and only wanting to announce games when they know they are 100% going to release the same year is the only thing that will make sense and something I can totally get behind.
"Was Jim Ryan that bad of a CEO that they veered that far off the path and are working their way back to it?"
I'm still convinced his GaaS plans are why he took early retirement, after seeing issues with NaughtyDog being put on something they weren't comfortable with I think higher ups knew putting all their existing studios on these games was a bad move. Obviously they've had to see some of them out until the end but I think he's why some of these studios are so quiet because they've wasted time on live service stuff that just wasn't working.
Replies(1)Better third party?
Is this clown really trying to say concord and Lego horizon looked better than Indiana, avowed, perfect dark, gears, COD BO6?
It’s killing him that Xbox beat out PS.
But remember guys, he isn’t a Sony fanboy!
😂
Resign already! N4G is better without you!

Lady's and gentlemen, I give you the clown on his alt account haha.
Is this clown really saying people are not allowed preferences and opinions?
I can say honestly that out of all the games announced in the last week or so Astro Bots is the game I I'm most excited to play. Doesn't mean Microsoft didn't have a good showcase it's just called having a preference.
The time for silence is over. At least, I’m over it. Open the first party floodgates, while I’m still alive lol!

This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
Good luck with this even it might not succeed.
The Oracle has spoken.
Every screen is a Xbox!
