Microsoft Is Pushing For No "Red Line" For What Games Could Come To PlayStation - Report

Interesting to see what else Microsoft brings to Playstation 5 later this year. I definitely see it more on a case by case bases on how well their games sell on PS5.

Of course their greed will bring them here. I am going to spell it out for ya. MS is DONE, with all caps!!!! Yes, they will chase their clouds and mobile gaming, but this will not be for many of us here and is fine for the casual gamer. They cannot handle larger studios and game development, simply CANNOT! Their the type that want to create a product and squeeze the living hell out of it for all eternity without a whole lot of effort.

They will show their non-E3 show on June 9th and with our bitter tastes we will be very skeptical and reluctant to bite on new games. The suits will come to the stage smiling and lying their teeth off with their catch phrases and they will once again talk down to us....we love working with our partners and want to make so many average games accessible to everyone.... They will mention gamepASS 50x and continue to want to standardize the industry into least effort and average games, because that will be the only way they can makeup for low sales...is to lower the time, effort and cost of games.

This is a snowball effect, so that by 2026 they will release their new hardware and the sales will be so low, that by 2030 they will basically give up on XB and push Cloud gaming earlier for the gen thereafter.

Most of their games will be non-single player and online games that can be taken away from you at any time. Why would I want to pay hundreds of dollars for that, to a company that will most likely not be relevant to hard-core gamers in a few years?

I don't want this to happen, but I don't see a way out of it. They are digging their graves faster and deeper!!!!

If I had to guess the reasons for this push I'd point to Hellblade II as the prime reason. I'm sure it will be a fine game but I don't think the Xbox audience is the right audience for the game. It remains a breakout success story on PS4 and had the majority of it's sales there. There isn't any real solid numbers for Gamepass or Xbox/Switch sales but by the time the game approached a million units sold it was still a PS4 exclusive. They confirmed that there were millions more who played BUT the game was free for a time on PS4 AND it's available for free on Gamepass.

If true, I really see no reason to ever buy another Xbox again. Really hope it ain't, cause it's never gonna be reciprocated by PS.

Of course they will.

Xbox tested the waters with 4 games...2 of them didnt do well, 2 of them did great on Playstation.

So Xbox has to find a way to bring games to PS without making hardcore Xbox gamers too angry.

This one way transaction is a beautiful thing 😁
