It's nothing new. It's probably been mentioned by now, but Minecraft's dev is owned by Microsoft now, and they've said they still sell on PlayStation platforms.
I wouldn't be shocked if a potential sequel hits PS platforms, albeit at least a year or 2 afterwards.
But honestly, when I read this, I was thinking Planetside 2.

I think a more likely big budget game is MLB The Show. It doesent sell particularly well, doesent seem to move much hardware, and virtually only appeals to US gamers. |
It would be a terrible idea to give MS even more ground in the US, since it being the 2nd biggest exclusive in the US for the PS4 last year.
With MS and Sony exclusives included and without bundles, MLB was the 3rd biggest exclusive. Behind only Halo and Bloodborne.

It's not wierd. Sony Pictures lisenced the game out. Sony Movie studio functions outside of Sony's Gaming studio. Sony Pictures Television was previously known as Columbia TriStar Television. See a trend? Qbert was never a Sony game, it just was a (Columbia) property that they lisenced. The two might as well be different companies when it comes to lisencing. |

I would expect different parts of a company to work together. At worst to maybe have the game be multiplatform, but I'd never expect a company to have such terrible synergy where one part is working against another part.
| twintail said: Qbert isn't owned by the PS division. That's the key factor here. It's owned by the Sony movie division. And this game was on Steam and smartphone before the PS release, I think. This is not the first time a non PS Sony game has released like this. |
Splitting hairs, also why wasnt it on Xbox before?

In Minecraft's case, there may also have been contractual obligations. But a lot of it also just shows how much bigger the overall companies are. If Columbia Pictures own the IP, although that is Sony owned, it is wholly independent of SCE. Columbia Pictures will do what is in Columbia Pictures' best interests, rather than SCE's as a result of this. I'm not sure how Mojang fits into Microsofts structure, but has it been brought under Microsoft Studios, ergo expected to put the resource into Xbox now? Or is it still operated independently of Xbox meaning there would be no obligation at all to not "support" rival products. |
Hmm, if I had to say, it's probably more beneficial to MS to get as much profit from Minecraft as possible, since it still brings in a lot of money, and it's still somewhat obligation as well.

Well why was it on STEAM a year before any PS device got it? The original release wasnt published by Sony, nor developed by them. And loot doesnt belong to Sony anymore anyhow, for like nearly a year now. Its not an IP owned by the PS division (who have published already on smartphones and PC) and therefore can appear on any device. Its like questioning why games by SOE were, for years, always PC only... they belong to the parent company and not the PS division. |
There was a Q Bert game that came to PS3 in 2007 that has apparently been delisted. Maybe because they felt Rebooted is the better product?
Either way, lets look at the facts. Its a Sony IP, its been console exclusive to Playstation for well over a decade, Q Bert hasn't been on a competing platform since the Dreamcast, and for some reason its now coming to Xbox. It doesn't seem slightly odd to you Sony is going to allow that IP on another console out of the blue?
