Phil already answered this too. He said with Disney and Netflix it doesn’t matter the device. You use them to interact in an ecosystem. FB, IG, Disney +, etc. Xbox wants to be in the same position.

And racing, platformers, TPS, RTS, strategy games, 3rd person adventures, MMOs, oh and dungeon crawlers. But yes they do have the best fps and rpgs as well. Why buy a ps for 1 or 2 story games a year that are 8 hrs long. Half the 3rd party games just left PS now Bethesda, Activision, and the 10 other studios MS aquired. If Sony is smart they will let gamepass on so you could have the 1 to 2 Sony games a year and 10-12 MS games a year on one system. MS wants 200 million subs and Sony wants to lock people into it's plastic where they can charge for online, ask $70 a game, and take a 30% cut with no competition as they do not allow digital codes sold anywhere but PSN. Just my thoughts.
Don't forget platformers, after this buy out Microsoft will officially own Crash, Spyro and Skylanders. just look at the list Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Skylanders, Ori, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, Psychonauts. The studio 'Toys for Bob' will do more Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Skylanders going forward and it won't surprise me if they also work on Banjo Kazooie and Conker.
Call of Duty will be Xbox exclusive when the contracts end. With Game Pass you save up to $600 every year. With that money buy every console and everyone can stop bashing
@@sheffield8184 "of course is going exclusive"? What did Phil Spencer just said about it? Did he say it's going exclusive or that they will continue to have those games on the Sony platform? Inform yourself
@@Köennig Sony is not needed, Phil already said that. If they keep CoD multiplatform that will be because Microsoft wanted it, not because they had to. Everything will be on Xbox terms now.
@Always have been they're going to keep warzone on ps which makes sense but they're gonna make mainline cod a 2 year thing instead of annual and they're gonna be xbox console exclusive once sonys contract ends
This is the perfect time for PlayStation to comeback with PlayStation home!. This will keep them in the game and make a ton of money off of in game purchases
The PSONE group has a private server and a discord for these old games. PS Home is currently being worked on. They already have Motorstorm, Killzone 2, SOCOM Confrontation, Warhawk, Twisted Metal Black, WipeOut HD on their server up and available to play for free.
Killzone is a DEAD franchise, and bringing it back would only read as a desperation move. Sony is a Japanese company, and the Japanese way of doing business is to save face and never admit a mistake or defeat. Also Killzone is just an INFERIOR FPS, Not just to CoD or Halo, but in general. Killzone games are Clunky, poorly balanced and designed dumpster fires. And a new entry wouldn't even be worth a tenth the hard drive space.
My dude is reaching for things to say about Sony content. Xbox with their Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard purchases have a slew of multimedia content in the pipeline. He mentioned Halo but failed to mention Fallout has a show coming out on Amazon while also failing to mention the Minecraft movie back by Warner Bros. Pictures coming out this year. They also now own Activision Blizzard Studios which was solely created to take their ips and turn them into film and tv hence the World of Warcraft movie, Skylanders academy Netflix show and the announced Call of Duty Film. This is not even mentioning the Gears movie thats been in development hell. To make it seem like Sony is distinguishing themselves that greatly from Microsoft by turning their games into multimedia is fools gold.
Eh, the difference is the fact that sony is doing it internally at their film studio. Microsoft has to go out and shop around for others to work on the project... so its not necessarily a 1 to 1.
@@jaynordiaz4609 Where was is stated it was 1 to 1 comparison and why would that difference even matter when the end result is the same ? The topic at hand is turning ips into multimedia and that is a forefront Microsoft has been exploring.. Hell Quantum Break had a full fledge show attached to it was big actors how many years ago ?
@@DerrickL23 the reason it matters is because sony doesn't have to shop around and sell rights to the films/share profits from the shows and movies like Microsoft does
To that infinity gauntlet analogy. If iron man had the stones outside of the MCU circumstances with the snap. Guarantee you he would have made some dangerous choices with that power
Yes the console war is over....Microsoft just effectively made the Xbox series X irrelevant because gamepass is on many platforms making purchasing a Xbox unnecessary. Sony has sold way more consoles this next gen on limited supply than series S and X combined.
@@UNFITTED1 It doesn't matter if Microsoft sells its consoles. Their goal is to have as many gamepass ultimste subscribers for consistent long term profits.
Probably Spartacus. Microsoft wants to burry Sony's Subscription service before it's even here to make Game Pass the only viable option. Who knows? we might even see Game Pass in PlayStation in the future if Spartacus flops. Edit: Also at least half of the reason why Microsoft bought Activision at this time is because of the sickening things going on over there at Activision and it's the only way to push Bobby Kottick out of this industry.
Nintendo will be just fine. I’m XBOX first, but I’ve been playing my Switch OLED a lot lately. Mainly for Metroid Dread. That bright vivid screen is a beast.
@@DowuerSup doom, spyro, crash were great sellers for the switch, it does present a big problem now that MS owns most of the third party games the switch had, doom, diablo, wolfestein, Overwatch, Skylanders, Tony hawk, spyro, crash Bandicoot and many others.
It will have an impact on Game Pass, and an even bigger impact for PC gaming. There are some great IP in this deal that seemed to have died. We know Xbox wants to improve their offering on PC, and it could mean all these studios can get to create the games they want to make instead of focusing only on Call of Duty. Steam gamers are going to rejoice.
@@Michael-sm3xg you realise the GOTY awards have only been going for 8 years and Sony has only won 2 GOTY awards and Activision Blizzard has 2 aswell not to mention Bethesda has 1 aswell.. So saying they won't match PS GOTY games clearly they can match it 😂😂

1. Sony would never allow it 2. Microsoft doesnt want to? In a few years time everyone in their mother will be switching to xbox. Xbox ruled the world from 2003-2012. Playstation took back over the last 10 years. Its gunna switch back. Microsoft will be patient and wait for sony players to flock over to their ecosystem and bleed somy dry
@@josht5453 PS2 is the highest selling console of all time and you are saying that Xbox ruled that generation ? Also PS3 sold more units than Xbox 360, so idk where this "Ruled the world" idea is coming from. If Nintendo hasn't been bled dry yet then neither will Sony. They operate in their own lane and cater to a niche audience as much as the mainstream. Even now if you combine Activision revenue and Xbox revenue they are STILL behind Sony and Tencent as far as gaming revenue goes. Sony and Nintendo have an identity to them, Xbox is just the cheapest place to play.
@@josht5453 Wrong. MS absolutely wants gamepass on PlayStation. It's the biggest console audience. Sony won't allow it. Xbox did not rule the world 2003-2012. They have always come last.
Let me just state one thing.. Half of us, if not, most of us haven't even got a hold of the PlayStation 5, and there's already a mention of a PlayStation 6.. I am so weak right now 💀😭
As far as the question goes...Everyone in the world that has a gaming pc its pretty much irrelevant what happened.There is no need at all to buy an Xbox if u have a gaming pc.
Capcom aren't for sale so no hostile take overs are bad. Zenimax and activision blizzard were selling due to some struggles so Microsoft bought them which is fair
They couldn't have gotten a 3rd of what Acti got even if they released Starfield before acquisition and it was a hit.. They dont have annual or bi annual IP thats 1# in sales every release or a leading MMO like WoW or a multibillion dollar money making mobile company like King..
Activision Blizzard is an amazing acquisition to convert PC players to game pass. It will help their console, but PC players/fps players are going to gather.
@@johnnymcclain4100 awesome. Love your response. Years they told everyone to just buy a PS to play the games, now they swallow their own medicine and cry like babies
Phil Spencer announced yesterday cod will continue to be on PlayStation which makes sense. No matter who plays cod Microsoft will make money. If PlayStation users buy it then they get bread. If Xbox people use gamepass which will have it day 1 for free, they get bread. If pc play it’ll be on gamepass, they get bread. My biggest concern is whether or not titles like spyro, crash, prototype and others will be brought back finally. Also hopefully this will push Sony to make some acquisitions like bandai namco, squaresoft, etc
He said existing titles will stay on playstation and they'll honor the contracts that Sony and Activision had. That says nothing about future titles. We have no idea what those contracts are. MW5 or Black Ops 8 (whatever) would most likely be xbox and gamepass only, but Warzone will stay multiplatform.
It's over. Sony will have to be content with the studios they have right now because if there is even a scintilla of interest in an independent studio that they are interested in buying, Microsoft will swoop in and buy it from under Sony's nose. This will happen again and again and again until there are no studios left. After that, Microsoft will probably set its sights on Nintendo. What I'm seeing now makes me really sad, depressed, and sickened.

And racing, platformers, TPS, RTS, strategy games, 3rd person adventures, MMOs, oh and dungeon crawlers. But yes they do have the best fps and rpgs as well. Why buy a ps for 1 or 2 story games a year that are 8 hrs long. Half the 3rd party games just left PS now Bethesda, Activision, and the 10 other studios MS aquired. If Sony is smart they will let gamepass on so you could have the 1 to 2 Sony games a year and 10-12 MS games a year on one system. MS wants 200 million subs and Sony wants to lock people into it's plastic where they can charge for online, ask $70 a game, and take a 30% cut with no competition as they do not allow digital codes sold anywhere but PSN. Just my thoughts.
Exactly, this changes nothing for me. Still prefer the PlayStation because of the exclusives.
Don't forget platformers, after this buy out Microsoft will officially own Crash, Spyro and Skylanders. just look at the list Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Skylanders, Ori, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, Psychonauts. The studio 'Toys for Bob' will do more Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Skylanders going forward and it won't surprise me if they also work on Banjo Kazooie and Conker.
Xbox desperately need 3ed person story driven games
Plz Microsoft plz
Call of Duty will be Xbox exclusive when the contracts end. With Game Pass you save up to $600 every year. With that money buy every console and everyone can stop bashing
Cod sells monstrously in playstation, not to mention in game purchases. They're not throwing that money away.
@@Köennig they want you to buy an xbox of course its going xbox exclusive
@@sheffield8184 "of course is going exclusive"? What did Phil Spencer just said about it? Did he say it's going exclusive or that they will continue to have those games on the Sony platform? Inform yourself
@@Köennig Sony is not needed, Phil already said that. If they keep CoD multiplatform that will be because Microsoft wanted it, not because they had to. Everything will be on Xbox terms now.
@Always have been they're going to keep warzone on ps which makes sense but they're gonna make mainline cod a 2 year thing instead of annual and they're gonna be xbox console exclusive once sonys contract ends
Sony should buy Bandai Namco, Ubisoft, Capcom or Square Enix any of those companies to rise market rates
And Konami
Ubisoft has an exclusive deal with Xbox already
no not Ubisoft please.
sony cant afford any of those
Microsoft will probably have an eye on ubisoft, ea and take two
This is the perfect time for PlayStation to comeback with PlayStation home!. This will keep them in the game and make a ton of money off of in game purchases
The PSONE group has a private server and a discord for these old games. PS Home is currently being worked on. They already have Motorstorm, Killzone 2, SOCOM Confrontation, Warhawk, Twisted Metal Black, WipeOut HD on their server up and available to play for free.
@@Underthegun897 not too many games on Home ...
but theres not too many games that people enjoy on ps home
@@vavlixtu5232 that was the old home. There's tons of ideas for a new and fresh ps home
Having all consoles, it’s nice to just sit back and enjoy ALL the content.
Even better just having a pc
@@d4rkrises807 got a PC too. All the love.
Maybe losing COD will push PlayStation to bring back Killzone. Give themselves an exclusive high performance MP FPS that can rival Halo and even COD.
Killzone is a DEAD franchise, and bringing it back would only read as a desperation move. Sony is a Japanese company, and the Japanese way of doing business is to save face and never admit a mistake or defeat. Also Killzone is just an INFERIOR FPS, Not just to CoD or Halo, but in general. Killzone games are Clunky, poorly balanced and designed dumpster fires. And a new entry wouldn't even be worth a tenth the hard drive space.
You should link the Poll in the description of these videos.
My dude is reaching for things to say about Sony content. Xbox with their Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard purchases have a slew of multimedia content in the pipeline. He mentioned Halo but failed to mention Fallout has a show coming out on Amazon while also failing to mention the Minecraft movie back by Warner Bros. Pictures coming out this year. They also now own Activision Blizzard Studios which was solely created to take their ips and turn them into film and tv hence the World of Warcraft movie, Skylanders academy Netflix show and the announced Call of Duty Film. This is not even mentioning the Gears movie thats been in development hell. To make it seem like Sony is distinguishing themselves that greatly from Microsoft by turning their games into multimedia is fools gold.
Eh, the difference is the fact that sony is doing it internally at their film studio. Microsoft has to go out and shop around for others to work on the project... so its not necessarily a 1 to 1.
@@jaynordiaz4609 Where was is stated it was 1 to 1 comparison and why would that difference even matter when the end result is the same ? The topic at hand is turning ips into multimedia and that is a forefront Microsoft has been exploring.. Hell Quantum Break had a full fledge show attached to it was big actors how many years ago ?
@@jaynordiaz4609 your argument is meaningless, Microsoft is just outplaying them at all angles
@@DerrickL23 the reason it matters is because sony doesn't have to shop around and sell rights to the films/share profits from the shows and movies like Microsoft does

Microsoft not competing with Sony...they competing with Amazon,Google and tencent
@@Michael-sm3xg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes the console war is over....Microsoft just effectively made the Xbox series X irrelevant because gamepass is on many platforms making purchasing a Xbox unnecessary. Sony has sold way more consoles this next gen on limited supply than series S and X combined.
@@UNFITTED1 It doesn't matter if Microsoft sells its consoles. Their goal is to have as many gamepass ultimste subscribers for consistent long term profits.
@@Michael-sm3xg You failed to understand that Microsoft is not competing with Sony anymore you sound like a spoiled brat
People acting like COD is gonna be exclusive.
Neither of them asked themselves, wtf does Sony have up their sleeves for xbox to acquire a $68.7 billion acquisition.
Probably Spartacus. Microsoft wants to burry Sony's Subscription service before it's even here to make Game Pass the only viable option. Who knows? we might even see Game Pass in PlayStation in the future if Spartacus flops.
Edit: Also at least half of the reason why Microsoft bought Activision at this time is because of the sickening things going on over there at Activision and it's the only way to push Bobby Kottick out of this industry.
Nintendo should be worried, they just lost most of the very little third-party support they had.
Nintendo will be just fine. I’m XBOX first, but I’ve been playing my Switch OLED a lot lately. Mainly for Metroid Dread. That bright vivid screen is a beast.
Yeah the problem with the Switch is that is Pure indie and Nintendo exclusives, That isn't a problem if you have a pc or other console thought.
Why should they?? People buy the switch for its exclusives and they sell millions. They dont buy it tonplay cod.
@@DowuerSup doom, spyro, crash were great sellers for the switch, it does present a big problem now that MS owns most of the third party games the switch had, doom, diablo, wolfestein, Overwatch, Skylanders, Tony hawk, spyro, crash Bandicoot and many others.
@@ShadyDBZ4 Nintendo should be worried, you playing the switch isn't going to change that
Just as reference Microsoft stock was ~30 in July 2012 vs ~300+ today.
Why do you think they renamed the pc version of game pass to PC game pass.
They'll make 70 billion back in no time !! Call of duty alone will make that in few years

A friend of mine who has never owned an Xbox just bought one the other day.
It will have an impact on Game Pass, and an even bigger impact for PC gaming. There are some great IP in this deal that seemed to have died. We know Xbox wants to improve their offering on PC, and it could mean all these studios can get to create the games they want to make instead of focusing only on Call of Duty. Steam gamers are going to rejoice.
gamepass on pc will be legit.
Dear IGN clam down on the RUclips adverts
The true question is who's going to acquire Sony playstation
Apple
Google
Amazon
Pick you're winner
Apple
Microsoft...?
Microsoft will by all those listed and rule the world. 😬
@@Michael-sm3xg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 keep dreaming

Crash and COD Xbox exclusive 🔥🔥🔥
@@Michael-sm3xg ps fanboy spotted lol
@@Michael-sm3xgCry ps fanboy lol COD still sells more than those 2 ps exclusives combined lmao
@@Michael-sm3xg you realise the GOTY awards have only been going for 8 years and Sony has only won 2 GOTY awards and Activision Blizzard has 2 aswell not to mention Bethesda has 1 aswell.. So saying they won't match PS GOTY games clearly they can match it 😂😂
Without consoles neither xbox or ps would feel like real places to play video games. Imagine christmas without consoles, just redeem cards.
The next gen is going to be the PS6, since the current gen is already the PS5. So technically the title is correct :P
that's still a long way ahead
they went too ahead in the future XD
Nobody even has ps5 or series x yet
not really sold on the cloud gaming direction / future, at the current state most people can't even have a stable / proper connection in the majority of multiplayer games, and also look at what happened to stadia
The birth of Gamepass announcement arguably changed the industry more than this Activision/Bliz announcement
Nah Nintendo changed the industry more than that rental service did.
Vanguard had a rocky launch too it’s not cool forcing people to come play on Xbox it should up to the gamer on what platform they want to play on but a lot can change in a year from now
Please Dornbush - stop talking about F2P as being a playstation strength. These are multiplat..... its embarrassing
Simple fix without watching the video...buy a ps5 or ps6 if we go that far and a pc...now you can play all the games
How is that a simple fix when the ps5 is still so hard to find in stores?
What's to keep Microsoft and Sony coming to an agreement and allowing Gamepass accessible on Playstation
1. Sony would never allow it
2. Microsoft doesnt want to? In a few years time everyone in their mother will be switching to xbox.
Xbox ruled the world from 2003-2012. Playstation took back over the last 10 years. Its gunna switch back.
Microsoft will be patient and wait for sony players to flock over to their ecosystem and bleed somy dry
@@josht5453 Your claim about every body switching to Xbox in a few years shows arrogance.
@@josht5453 PS2 is the highest selling console of all time and you are saying that Xbox ruled that generation ? Also PS3 sold more units than Xbox 360, so idk where this "Ruled the world" idea is coming from. If Nintendo hasn't been bled dry yet then neither will Sony. They operate in their own lane and cater to a niche audience as much as the mainstream. Even now if you combine Activision revenue and Xbox revenue they are STILL behind Sony and Tencent as far as gaming revenue goes. Sony and Nintendo have an identity to them, Xbox is just the cheapest place to play.
@@josht5453 pretty sure the ps3 outsold the 360. And the ps2 is the highest selling console of all time
@@josht5453
Wrong.
MS absolutely wants gamepass on PlayStation. It's the biggest console audience. Sony won't allow it.
Xbox did not rule the world 2003-2012. They have always come last.
Let me just state one thing.. Half of us, if not, most of us haven't even got a hold of the PlayStation 5, and there's already a mention of a PlayStation 6.. I am so weak right now 💀😭
As far as the question goes...Everyone in the world that has a gaming pc its pretty much irrelevant what happened.There is no need at all to buy an Xbox if u have a gaming pc.
Are the guys on the left and right attempting to blink TORTURE in morse code?
Maybe now we will get a world of Warcraft singleplayer 3rd person experience
Monopoly of the industry means only one thing... The end of gaming.
Theres no monopoly tho.
Sony needs to buy capcom
Not really worth it tho only decent game they make is resident evil songs first party games are a lot better
@@sheffield8184??? Resident Evil just sold 8 million copies while Monster Hunter World sold 20 million copies....
Capcom aren't for sale so no hostile take overs are bad. Zenimax and activision blizzard were selling due to some struggles so Microsoft bought them which is fair
Phil Spencer: ...so I'm assembling a team.
*cue Avengers theme*
Bethesda managers kicking themselves for not holding out for more money haha 🤣
They couldn't have gotten a 3rd of what Acti got even if they released Starfield before acquisition and it was a hit.. They dont have annual or bi annual IP thats 1# in sales every release or a leading MMO like WoW or a multibillion dollar money making mobile company like King..
Hopefully they'll fix all call of dutys online glitches
Sony out here trying to force Microsoft to keep COD on there consoles. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
half of us still can’t get are hands on a Xbox series X two years later
It's easier than a PS5
Activision Blizzard is an amazing acquisition to convert PC players to game pass. It will help their console, but PC players/fps players are going to gather.
To answer that question - at the end: no it doesn't but it does make me want Gamepass though
1:51 I've always hate his arrogance. 😒
It said dying liggt 2 us out it is not out until 4 feb wtf
We are slowly going to “ Playstation has no games”
Nah..they make studios
Do you guys think that the deal will be approved? surely such monopolies would be blocked?
I’m worried since Microsoft can become the Disney of video games buying 3rd party developers and making them exclusives
You a ps fanboy?
Buy an Xbox. That’s what ps fans told us to do was buy a ps. Don’t be worried now.
You wouldn't be worried if you had game pass 🤷♂️
@@johnnymcclain4100 awesome. Love your response. Years they told everyone to just buy a PS to play the games, now they swallow their own medicine and cry like babies
Ya got a typo in the title.
Phil Spencer announced yesterday cod will continue to be on PlayStation which makes sense. No matter who plays cod Microsoft will make money. If PlayStation users buy it then they get bread. If Xbox people use gamepass which will have it day 1 for free, they get bread. If pc play it’ll be on gamepass, they get bread.
My biggest concern is whether or not titles like spyro, crash, prototype and others will be brought back finally. Also hopefully this will push Sony to make some acquisitions like bandai namco, squaresoft, etc
He said existing titles will stay on playstation and they'll honor the contracts that Sony and Activision had.
That says nothing about future titles. We have no idea what those contracts are. MW5 or Black Ops 8 (whatever) would most likely be xbox and gamepass only, but Warzone will stay multiplatform.
So inocent, did you forget Zenimax acquisition? 🤦🏽♂️
@@felipesantos-er4kk different situation
Guy on the left is basically every playstation lover right now lol
The seven of us who enjoy Blizzard games on macOS are like 😢
You can stream game pass through a browser, as long as your internet is better than decent.
Is Dorno wearing an A&W uniform??????
It's over. Sony will have to be content with the studios they have right now because if there is even a scintilla of interest in an independent studio that they are interested in buying, Microsoft will swoop in and buy it from under Sony's nose. This will happen again and again and again until there are no studios left. After that, Microsoft will probably set its sights on Nintendo. What I'm seeing now makes me really sad, depressed, and sickened.
You know what that creates? A monopoly. They got sued in 2001 because of them becoming a monopoly.
@@thetraveler2224 Precisely! The Netscape fiasco proves that Microsoft has learned nothing and will continue to push the envelope t if nothing more than to see what they can get away with. They have no morals and no business ethics.
