    This has the same energy as a billionaire with all of his money hidden if tax havens saying that he’d love to contribute more to society, if only the government would tax him more.

      slightly off, it’s saying if government tax other higher networth billionaires more.

  • “If it was up to me I would love to get rid of the entire exclusives on consoles, but that’s not for me to define especially as a low-share player in the console market. The dominant player there [Sony] has defined market competition using exclusives, so that’s the world we live in. I have no love for that world.”

    I’m not sure I believe him on that. Exclusives on console have been a thing pretty much the entire time. Him trying to blame on that Sony is a little weird considering that.

    Are Sony and Microsoft just trying to shift the blame back and forth between themselves lately?

        tbh though Nintendo would be fine without exclusive 3rd party games a la MHRise. Just 1st party and second party games a la Bayonetta 2/3 wouldn’t shift the tides all that much.

      And then you have Valve, who was offered the 10 year Call of Duty contract like the other platform holders and cloud services were and they were like “nah bro, we believe you. we also don’t care.”

    Lol says the guy who’s buying entire developers and publishers and then making their games exclusive to his platform (starfield) what a load of shit. This whole tit for tat thing between MS and Sony is pathetic.

    Exclusives have been the console sellers since the industry stopped making pongsoles. Xbox exclusives have never been that great for the most part so i definitely believe him.

    Always someone elses fault, someone has to take the first step. Also don’t hear much hype around Xbox exclusives whereas Sony seems to be doing great with theirs

    Why would Sony want to give their best games to Microsoft while all the exclusives from MS are shit tier ?
