it is big news because sony are selling something that will make them a lot of money. it's big news for sony. it's pretty irrelevant as far as playstation is concered. it will still get the pc ports years after they come out on pc. That's not going to change. 

Microsofts YouTube policy was a step in the wrong direction. It's not really a big deal because Halo has become irrelivant with most youtubers anyway. Especially compared to the hay day of 2007/2008/2009. I work in the industry and it has fallen big time. That move will do little to encourage a much needed revival. 

I'm sure planetside 2 will be great but only on pc. it should be good on ps4 but it will be a lot less than the pc version and coming a lot later. it's not gonna move consoles. It's big news potentially for xbox if they get the ports. And when i say xbox i mean the current fanbase. this ain't gonna move many xboxs for MS. I'm sure they would miss out on a ton of subs but the price they are selling this for would cover those subs and then some. Otherwise they would keep it and take all the subs instead. 



w8 wat? why are you guys talking like planetside 2 is a new game that has to prove itself? its out for over 2 years... its great game, the best fps sony ever did. and it will not come to the xbone in the near future, they needed 2 years to port it to the ps4...

no i'm not. i'm basically agreeing with you. it is a PC game first and for most and is getting a late port to the PS4. It's not damaging news to the PS4 in any significant way. It's kinda obvious though. Sony wouldn't sell it if it was.

This is going to be my last post in the thread on this "is it a big deal" narrative because it's just petty what some are saying. The problem with the post you made here and posts others like Kerotan or Roronaaaaa are making is that you're making them entirely from a defensive, almost damage controlling point of view, as if this represents an attack on Sony or something. This can be a big deal to many people and the industry in general, and also be a wise move by Sony. It doesn't have to be "irrelevant" or "not a big deal" or "LOL shouldve sold them sooner!!". Using the same logic you guys are using, Microsoft splitting with Bungie was irrelevant, and not a big deal. I mean, another capable company is making Halo now, and Bungie has moved on to Destiny, which is also on MS platforms. So who cares, right?

But it was a big deal because it gave Bungie freedom and allowed many others to experience their games. Anyone who is either a fan of Daybreak games or was looking forward to playing one or more of them on PC or PS4, can now look forward to possibly playing an even better game than they'd have gotten otherwise. And any Xbone owner who maybe thought H1Z1 or Planetside 2 look cool, well hey maybe now they'll get a chance to play them. And with that increased revenue, perhaps the PC and PS4 versions of those games are even better as more money is pumped into them? And who knows what other projects this increased revenue will bring them.

And of course that is not even touching the fact that it has to be a big deal to Daybreak themselves to move to another publisher who surely has more money than Sony does.

Regarding the bolded, silly goose, if I were counting posts then I wouldn't have been wondering how many it took. Hope that helps.

I find it funny you are calling people silly for not reading your posts correctly. You've not exactly read what I'm saying correctly thus why you have made a counter defensive post to me. You are making the wrong assumption completely. I was responding to sales who went AWOL with his Sony baiting posts and you've taken what I've said to him as if I've not addressed the big picture. 

Sales was playing the wole this is a big blow for the PS4 agenda. I pointed out why this is not a blow to the PS4. Thus it's irrelivant. You shouldn't shoot first and ask questions later. I've said it's a big deal potentially for gamers on the xbox but not so much for microsoft. They will get an increase in sales revenue but it's not going to move xboxs for them. Just like it won't move any PS4's. 

My points are fair and balanced but you are nit picking one aspect of them and twisting my words. Silly goose!
