As if Sony is not buying as much content if not more, they are the ones who started this whole business.
Why did Nintendo and Square have to create a shell company just to get a Final Fantasy game on GameCube? Because Sony had an iron clad exclusivity deal to keep content off other platforms.
Same with Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid 2/3, etc. etc. MS had to jump through major hoops to get GTA on the original XBox as well. Sony moneyhatted to keep Madden off the Dreamcast as well.
And that continues to this day with things like Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy VII REMake exclusivity period, Street Fighter V (gimme a break with the "Capcom couldn't afford to develop it" .... SFIV sold millions and millions of copies), and even things like Final Fantasy XII remaster being kept off other platforms largely because Sony negotiates deals to keep that content away from other platforms.
We saw how successful Sony is when they don't have the full backing of the third party community with the Vita, which crashed and burned.
If you want to be mad at MS for this, so be it, but IMO it's a bit hypocritical if you're not also going to knock Sony for it or even more laughably try to claim that Sony is the "white knight of gaming", when they are responsible for locking out more content from other platforms since coming into the industry than anyone else by a country mile.
If Sony had gotten to PUBG first, then the story we'd be fed right now would be "well Sony's just smart, they recognized the game was going to be a big hit, maybe MS should have been smarter". |
You should check you history 101 better, pal, like, really check it. Sony wasn't even in the gaming market when those kind of deals started, and it sure wasn't the one to start the current model of doing it as well.
Not as if I don't know why you purposely went that way, anyway, but still, try to be a little more obvious, it's sad.

LOL, I've been reading about the "industry" since before the internet gaming sites were even a big thing (1992 EGM represent), so no. I've been following the "Playstation" since inception. I'm quite well versed on "Sony's history" and they have a very long one of keeping content off other platforms that continues right until this day.
