How can someone ask a question like that when Playstation has already admitted that because of Call of Duty and Battlefield, they stop making SOCOM, Killzone, and Resistance.
The people who cry Xbox has no games, cheer in the belief all Xbox games are going to PlayStation. Never has Satya, Phil, Matt or Sarah ever stated that every game is going to PlayStation. “There are no red lines” does not override “on a case by case basis.” People seem to forget that one caveat. The irony is “all games are going to PlayStation” is parroted by the ones who claim to hate Xbox games. How does a person reconcile saying in one breath, “I hate Xbox games,” while in the next breath saying, “Yay, all Xbox games are going to PlayStation”?
It's really showing when Jim Ryan said that call of duty funded their high budget single player games,because after the lost call of duty, where are the ganes?,no wonder Jim Ryan sold his shares and fled
+ Diablo IV, another live service game by Blizzard which is on PS4 and PS5 According to Wikipedia Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time (article called "List of best-selling video games") btw. with 300m copies sold. And it is very popular on the Playstation, so even before the AB acquisition Microsoft already benefitted from Playstation players buying and playing their games (Mojang Studios belongs to Microsoft since 2014).
Remember when ftc said they could keep Activision if they sold call of duty to another like EA or ubisoft, thar alone showed you how much value Cod has, even CMA told Microsoft that they had to sell tge cloud streaming to another in order to get the deal approved
I see it down in the comments too but I was going to say resistance, socom and killzone. All no longer exist because call of duty. And also can you speak on how much the King parts of Activision Blizzard King makes? I saw that the regular Candy crush not the other versions. Just plain old Candy crush itself makes $3 million a day and plus we're not even talking about World of Warcraft in any of this either. That is the biggest live service MMO ever in the world
The playstation CEO has told everyone that the profit margins when all they get is 30% is too low. The running costs of all their studio's and operations the playstation network and storefront, R&D console hardware production and warranty repairs, the 30% they get from COD, the 800 million plus all the smaller amounts is not enough. Another way to see this? Sony could not afford to pay Square Enix enough money to offset the low sales on their platform of Final fantasy remake and rebirth. If Sony had the money, Square wouldnt be about to drop these games on Xbox. Sooner or later the third party dominance in the playstation storefront was going to make Sonys revenue stream from its own store insufficient. This is because Sony is moneyhatting games all over the place from going to Xbox. Imagine how much that is costing. They have to offset the low sales for every moneyhatted title to the developers. Their method of maintaining superiority, the exclusive moneyhatting is now taking all the profit margin. Add in the media outlets costs and the running costs must be enormous. Then to cancel 12 games and launch and remove another in 2 weeks. And the second Sony stops paying for all these moneyhats? They will start dropping onto gamepass. Thats the next stage coming up.
I think the main thing ponies dont see is the over saturation of games we have right now, and with digital we can just delete and download another if we hate something. Gone are the days of like 5 good games on the market, which i think means that rather than "voting with our wallets" or whatever their line is i think instead its we vote with our time. What games are being played the most and duration is what really counts in the end, and how fun those games are.
Damn, hearing you about PlayStation and Xbox. It sounds like Xbox is trying to cannibalize PlayStation and it might work if Playstation doesn't do something.
It sounds more like Xbox is trying to farm money on PS and Switch. Something they´re doing on PC, Mobile and Cloud too. No sane people would try to kill a golden goose, they would just try to keep the most golden eggs they possible can.
@marcolascosqui to be honest, why let another competitor stay around. You would want them to get out of the market and get the people who bought a Playstation to move to PC or other consoles. We've seen the data. Most PS fans play a GAAS/live-service. There is too much competition in the video games market. Not only that, but Playstation has to pay for all the expenses for having an online network, workers, maintenance, and fees that I can't think of. He'll PS relied on COD. They know this and a video from neverknowsbest just had an amazing video about the video games market.
@@marcolascosqui They're going to make PS smaller over time. There is no way the casual is going to stay with PS when the games they play the most are best played in the competing consoles ecosystem. The main goal isn't to cripple PS but that's what's going to happen if PS becomes little more than a 3rd rate Xbox.
I just want to say ty Sony fans for supporting gamepass and that my little bro would play Helldivers if it came to xb, but he is not paying for a new console or pc to play it.
I think a lot needs to be said about the role merchandising plays with some of these gaming IPs. It's hard graft to create that kind of relevance if you aren't giving everyone access to the games these products are based on.
that's not video games. It's impossible to have the Xbox OS without windows 11 os. Therefore without the whole of MS and their revenue, Xbox wouldn't be possible. Last I checked sony was still in the lower hundred billions while MS is 2.5+trillion.
@ needs to be said about the role merchandising plays with some of these gaming IPs your goalpost moving. You see, if we begin to incorporate things outside of gaming where do we stop? The enevitable end. The market cap of the company or profit by revenue.
I think assuming that the "Age of" games will sell a million units each on PS5 is extremely generous. I doubt they'll sell even half a million combined. Don't get me wrong they are great games, but RTS is a pretty niche genre and these games are very PC oriented.
You are strongly underestimating the popularity of the Age of Empires franchise. It is one of 20 franchises that made Microsoft over $1 billion in revenue. You can get an idea how popular AoE II is if you look at the data provided by SteamDB. For the Definitive Edition (which was released in 2020) it has around 20K concurrent players "right now" and it sold around 4-5 million copies. The all time peak in concurrent player number is 38K, which is more than Sony's 1st party games God of War Ragnarok or the recent Spider Man 2 reached on the Steam platform! RTS games are definitely not niche games in this perspective!
@@heideknight7782 It's also one of Microsoft's oldest franchises, it predates Xbox. It has many entries and some have been rereleased multiple times. That's a lot of opportunities to make revenue. Regardless I wasn't doubting it's popularity on PC, I was doubting it on console. To my knowledge Halo Wars for Xbox 360 is the best-selling console RTS ever and that only sold about 2 million units total (not sure if that includes the Definitive Edition for Xbox One & PC).
That’s fine but understand these games he’s talking about are free with Xbox I didn’t pay for cod or ninja gaiden I just download them so when the new consoles come that will be something to think about the new exclusive is the game pass !!!!!!!! COD will always be free and more ppl play cod on all platforms more than any other title so the number 1 sold title comes to Xbox for free with game pass
@@macaluso48 that’s not all that’s on GP all the assassins creeds need for speed monster hunter world farcry doom halo gears of war MK 11 and a lot more and any new titles that Xbox will produce and usually EA BioWare some capcom games resident evil 2 & 3 remastered dead by daylight UFC games ninja gaiden 1 2 3 and 4 when it comes out !!!!!!!! So it’s not just cod all the ea sports games mLB the show !!!!! Ect
It’s like Xbox doesn’t view PS as much of a competitor anymore but a easy way of increasing their profits

This chart is going to look rather interesting when Microsoft puts their games on the Switch 1 & 2
1:32 SOCOM it doesn't exist anymore because of CoD
