This is about the industry and bad journalism. I don't see where I praised one console over another, just specified how an attempt to make them all appear to have the same goals is wrong and this type of journalism only helps to confuse consumers and goals within the industry.

Wow. That's a lot of words to say absolutely nothing relevant to the conversation.

***PS Plus is now responsible for 50% of Playstation´s entire division revenue, ***

Why do you make up things?

I mean, it's YouTube. People say anything for content there. Let's not try and make them more than just random ramblings for hits.

***Xbox they will get to play all PlayStation games anyway.***

I mean, first, after 2 years, they'd get most of them, not all. And, second, Valve would take 30% off the top, then Microsoft could take their 30% from below that, and Publishers/Developers would then get shafted with less than they'd make just selling it on PS/Xbox/PC as it is now?

Nonsensical. This would only happen if Xbox stops being called the Xbox, stops being controlled by Mic...

*** The notion that Playstation isn´t going multi platform is getting blurrier by the day. ***

This has been said over the last 5 years by people who want Sony to be like Microsoft. So blurry. So fast.

And yet, in that same period of time, Microsoft went same day and date on Steam even though they have their own PC storefront, admitted in court to losing to Sony on hardware and software, spent the most money just to continue competing against Sony (t...

I think it's more the people above them trying to control topics outside of 'news'.

Read this article -- https://www.ign.com/article... -- and compare it to how they phrase things here, let alone forget to mention that PS5 is still performing ahead of PS4. But, when reporting news, they'll report it, and it makes these opinion pieces...

***...that neither are remaining constrained to the confines of their respective consoles.***

Did you know you can stream PS games to your PC? Did you know Helldivers (the first one) was on PC? Everybody's Gone to the Rapture since 2016? Horizon Zero Dawn since 2020?

Hi, four years ago called, it wants its news back. Sony has been doing this already at this level and hasn't 'increased' it more than they said they would. Why are we reading ...

***...and it’s becoming clear that there’s seemingly a consensus between both Playstation and Xbox that the entire industry is going through a recalibration. Starting with console “exclusives.”***

What is the consensus? One does day and date release on console and PC and is porting their games to competing platforms. The other does 2-year later PC ports of games to just Steam and has one past-exclusive on Xbox because of licensing demands.

I ask again, wh...

I feel they want to do it 'right' the first time and not waste time 'learning' what is right on their own. Not really completionists so much as they give up if they fail too often. I can't play fighting games with them because they hate having to learn, which saddens me because they're not bad at games, just want the best result with least amount of effort.

I feel weird just now learning about this game. But, I mean, looking at the trailer, what did they expect coming to the table with a game that looks like 100 other games that have over 5m downloads on Android alone already? And why waste Hollywood figure on a GaaS product for mobile? That's what you do for skins, not for the core game.

My nephews don't approach anything in a game without first looking at a guide.

People aren't percentages to me, I guess.

I agree they suck, but playing % game is weird.

I would agree with this. I also find Spider-Man 2 on PS2 to be a bigger influence on movement than Sunset Overdrive.

Look, am I a fan of games going more places? Absolutely. Am I a fan of this game or think others would get a ton of enjoyment out of it? No. But, you know what, if it's your thing, it's your thing. I got my games that suck. Just, hard to be happy that Xbox folk are getting this and maybe not something better.

*** And since you want to cherry-pick How are Sony's Helldivers 2 cross-save/progression doing? ***

I'm not the one trying to give MS credit for 'a platform that works well with its console counterpart' here.

I'm pretty sure Sony can fail just as well as Microsoft, but I'm not reading an article talking about how amazing Jim Ryan is out of IGN where they praise sony for getting MS Sea of Thieves or the like on their platform like t...

***So when MS releases crap games like Redfall, CrackDown 3, etc. It's Spencer's fault! When MS cancels a project like Scalebound It's Spencer's fault! but when MS publishes a great game well it's because of the great devs. ***

You're throwing a lot there and it's not like some of these aren't 'yeah, that's on Spencer' and some aren't. So, here's how I see it (for both Microsoft and Sony) and I feel my past comments fully ...
