Microsoft needs to be looked at again, properly.

A lot of you are too young to remember when microsoft had anti-trust against them.

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/microsoft-antitrust.asp

Microsoft became what it is now because of illegal practices and bullying.

Microsoft is at it again, buying up its competition. It bought Bethesda now its rumored to buy another large company. This isn’t pro gamer, this is pro microsoft. They want to put gamestop, target, best buy and walmart out of business and be the only source where to buy/rent games.

I don’t support the greed and corruption they are, neither should you.

They also hacked psn probably to make returnal number 2 instead of 1. RIP brotha protess.

You're saying MS hacked Sony? That's a pretty severe allegation.

Well don’t waste your time here, get right on it. Go! Do it now! Quickly, quickly!

@Telekill: im saying its a possiblity. Bill has nothing to do these days.

Damn! This is serious. We must buy more $70 games to counter MS. 😂

Sony monopoly = PS fans want, Xbox fans do not.

MS monopoly = Xbox fans want, PS fans do not.

So what? You're saying the feds should stop Microsoft so they don't slaughter Sony this generation?

There's a lot of fanboy rubbish on these forums (and I mean alot!), but this could be the worst yet... geez. If only you cows would spend as much time actually playing your consoles (if you actually own them), instead of posting drivel like this.

First off, everyone should have expected a multiplat to outsell an PS exclusive. Cows don’t actually play those. Second, let Xbox buy up whoever they want and let the consumers decide

Well hopefully Sony will buy up SE or Capcom or Konami like cows have been begging for the last several months. You'll finally be able to rest easy then, OP.

@eoten: microsoft hasnt beat playstation in any gen. They have been dead last every one.

You shouldnt support monopolies though.

It was the 2nd best selling game for the month as a new IP that only appeals to the hardcore crowd. Downplaying how successful it has been just makes some of you look desperate.

Not sure why he thought it would outsell Resident Evil. There's not many games out there that can.

I see someone is already trying to fill the void recently left

Already damage controlling. 😂 You caused on of the most vocal Sony fannies to delete himself with your shilling. Let us hope there isn't another one. 😉

Wasn't this purchase approved by both the SEC and EU powers? Wouldn't they refuse if it were monopolistic?

I'm not taking TC seriously... Just thinking those powers would kinda look into this shit.

Kinda sounds like you're just mad that MS is suddenly looking good.

One thing is missing from this though, MS would actually have to achieve a monopoly in the gaming business first.

@sheevpalpamemes:

Translation: he's still mad he won't be able to play future Bethesda games on a Playstation

When you believe a major corporation has your back. Come on, man. It's cut throat in the business world.

@Pedro: "Already damage controlling."

So new IP in a niche genre only available at PS5 being second place against one of the most famous, long running, best seller franchise in the gaming world, available on both PS4/5 is bad? I think you really Don't understand math and are not smart at all. 🤭

I am always on your mind alt. 😎

@Pedro: reply to the question. Why is it that a new IP, on a niche genre, available only on PS5 getting second place when pitted against a multimillionaire, long running, best seller franchise available on PS4/5 is bad? Care to explain? 😎

I knew the stupid threads would not stop just by losing Protos (funny how this thread is eerily similar to a dumb thread he would make)

I hope Microsoft buy Team Ninja from Koei Tecmo, maybe then we might see a good Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive game again.

@NathanDrakeSwag: As usual, Pedro ran away when cornered. He was unable to tell us why is it so bad that a new IP within a niche genre available only on PS5 got second place when pitted against a multimillionaire, long running, best seller available on PS4/5. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Back to back. 😂🤣

@Pedro: still avoiding the question I see.

@wonderwinner: You begging for my attention is more fun. 😎

@Pedro: Why is it that a new IP, on a niche genre, available only on PS5 getting second place when pitted against a multimillionaire, long running, best seller franchise available on PS4/5 is bad?

Who said it was bad?

@Pedro: I'll accept your concession of defeat, Pedro. GG EZ.

Who said it was bad?

@regnaston: I'm still waiting for the answer to my question. Want to take Pedro's place and answer?

well since your reading comprehension is low.. let me explain it to you.. he did answer your question, but you seem too obtuse to understand that.

@Pedro: please stop trolling my thread

@regnaston: he did not. And you didn't also. Can't you reply without insulting me? I shouldn't have expected better.

@wonderwinner: he did answer so since you do not understand (hence the obtuse statement) let me explain it to you step by step.

1. You asked "Why is it that a new IP, on a niche genre, available only on PS5 getting second place when pitted against a multimillionaire, long running, best seller franchise available on PS4/5 is bad?"

2. In doing so you ASSUMED and IMPLIED that people thought #2 was bad

3. You assuming and implying put a false narrative that was never said

4. Pedro challenged your false assumption by saying "who said it was bad" in essence he was saying "no one said it was bad" .. so in that way he answered your question

Can we stay on-topic here, please? What is with some users, usually the same users (you know who you are!) derailing topics and making it into a personal slug-fest against each other? This is supposed to be System Wars NOT Fanboy Wars.

The moderators need to do something about this annoying System Wars trend.

As long as Google, Amazon, and Facebook arent buying up the studios/publishers, im happy.

Lol yep.

No one thinks Returnal selling 2nd place is bad at all. It's great for the developers and encourages them that they are making a good product. It's only cows that play this sales game. It's a cow that died on the hill of Returnal sales, not the other way around. Lame and pathetic tbh. Who cares if it gets first or last place? Weak mental.

Yeah 2 is good if I ever bought a PS5 I would get the game

@regnaston:

he implied it was a bad thing by saying nathandrake was damage controlling. Read the whole thread so you don't own yourself in the future.

Now let me ask you something, why are you speaking in his behalf? Let him defend himself, are you being paid to do this?

Exactly. Most of the Sony fans on here are not annoying or dumb. They don't care much about who is selling what, what number game X is on the chart, waging their accounts, etc. They like PlayStation and will continue to game on it. There is no need for them to sell others on their choices and I am cool with those folks regardless of platform. But these others....well that is a different story. 😈
