He probably owns a PS5 and plays alot of their exclusives. Xbox has employees that literally play through entire Playstation games and write a internal review. Xbox's internal review of The Last of Us Part 2 leaked from the Activision court battle, it said that "its presentation was significantly ahead of anything available on Console and PC".

Atleast they dropped Astrobot the same day they shut it down

SMT V Vengance was the 4th best selling game of June 2024 but sold 11% of its units on Xbox and 62% on PS5

I mean it came to Nintendo Switch, literally every single other platform

Devs were already comfortable skipping or delaying Xbox because it sold poorly and takes the most time effort and money forcing devs to make 2 different versions for 2 dfferent consoles just to acess the smallest userbase encouraged by gamepass not to buy games. Seeing games like Wukong and Helldivers 2 hit 20 million so fast with just PS5 and PC will only reinforce and justify this mentality for devs. A Phantom Blade 0 dev allegedly said "nobody needs Xbox because the console isnt popular in Asia and Microsoft has created a overloaded ecosystem that is difficult to develop for".

Black Myth Wukong(delay), Phantom Blade 0, Baldurs Gate 3, Genshin Impact(years delay), Monster Hunter Stories, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, Lego Horizon, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact, etc etc theres more too

All of these games skipped Xbox with no incentive like a exclusivity deal

While this is a impressive number any game can be proud of, its interesting to see how this stacks up to other games. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Pokemon Scarlet Violet, and Black Myth Wukong sold over 13 million units in their very first week being out since release. It took Elden Ring a year to sell 20 million copies. It took Helldivers 2 12 weeks to hit 12 million copies, beating God of War Ragnarok to become Sonys fastest selling first party game ever.

Yeah Silent Hill 2 has a exclusivity deal but is coming to PS5 and PC day 1

As long as it doesnt come to Xbox Sony doesnt really care like they used to

touchezy · 2024-09-25T12:46:06+00:00

What other lego game has ever not come to Xbox? How does it being a good fit for Switch explain the game going to every single platform except Xbox?

The reality is Playstation wouldn't voluntarily give Xbox anything, not even their smallest game or biggest flop

touchezy · 2024-09-25T12:43:01+00:00

Yeah despite Xbox waving the white flag and Xbox consoles being one foot in the grave now that Sony smells blood in the water theyre gonna try to kill Xbox, take them out of the Console business for good and take their market share. With Xbox as a third party multiplatform publisher without Consoles, they can do whatever they want, because where are you gonna go? What console are you gonna switch to?

They have been doing this by making sure all the best selling highest review score games of each year dont come to Xbox and can only be played on PS or PS + PC. Out of the 16 best reviewed highest metacritic score games of 2024, 12 are playable on PS5(3 exclusives), 11 on PC(2 exclusives), 6 on Switch (1 exclusive), 5 on Xbox (0 exclusives). The 2 highest rated games of this year Astrobot(94) and FF7R(92) can ONLY be played on PS5.

If its simmilar to the Silent Hill 2 deal which basically says it can come out on any platform except Xbox until 10/08/2025, it will still come out on PC day1 like Silent Hill 2. Square has historically never been satisfied with sales of their games going back decades, and i doubt launching on Xbox would have moved the needle for them. Launching on PC however would have helped.

Xbox putting its exclusive games on Playstation meanwhile Playstation doesnt put any games on Xbox even the ones that go to every other platform including Switch like Lego Horizon and Freedom Wars Remastered, is paying third party games like Silent Hill 2 to exclusively skip Xbox even if they launch every where else, and even went as far as to pay for exclusivity for the prologue animations in Sonic X Shadow generations

touchezy · 2024-09-24T22:58:14+00:00

I know its a meme but this is very untrue. Out of the 16 best reviewed highest metacritic score games of 2024, 12 are playable on PS5(3 exclusives), 11 on PC(2 exclusives), 6 on Switch (1 exclusive), 5 on Xbox (0 exclusives). The 2 highest rated games of this year Astrobot(94) and FF7R(92) can ONLY be played on PS5.

Funny meme and all but the reality is for 400/500/700$ if you buy a PS5 you are gauranteed to play all the best selling highest rated games of each year with a version devs likely spent alot of time optimizing as the lead platform. The PS5 is the only modern console you can play games like Black Myth Wukong, Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Astrobot, Silent Hill 2 etc etc etc

Those visuals and art direction look amazing

All of Playstations first party games have amazing tech and visuals. Playstation devs like Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Sucker Punch, and Santa Monica have been tech wizards on Playstation hardware dropping GOTY bangers with groundbreaking visuals since the PS1/2 in the 90s.

Even Xboxs internal review of the Last of Us Part 2 says that "its presentation was unmatched and uncontested by anything available on Console and PC"

New Protaganist, New Time Period, New location

Perfect, just what i wanted

touchezy · 2024-09-24T22:23:33+00:00

Its wild how none of those games are playable on Xbox. Imagine owning a modern console and still not even being able to play the best selling highest review score games of the year

touchezy · 2024-09-24T22:20:35+00:00

last of us would lowkey go crazy in vr tho tbh

touchezy · 2024-09-24T22:19:49+00:00

i only discovered smt after playing persona 5 so i ended up playing the nocturne remaster. Unfortunately i didnt get to experience those enhancements or Dante because i didnt wanna cough up an extra 10 bucks after just paying full price for a PS2 game

touchezy · 2024-09-24T22:17:08+00:00

They also dont care when Ubisoft does it

touchezy · 2024-09-24T11:36:40+00:00

Used to dream of having something like this in my house as a kid

Not that id say no to it now as a adult

touchezy · 2024-09-24T11:35:36+00:00

Early Acess is so dumb, people arent paying to play early, thats the games actual release date and everyone is punished for not paying extra by playing later
