Strange comment. If that was the case halo and Forza would release on ps4 aswell. Mineraft sells a lot of ps4's to kids around the world and if it wasn't on ps4 they'd sell for Xboxs and close the gap.
Anyway the real reason MS can't stop selling on ps4 is because Sony signed the deals before MS bought it. In Japan Sony even publish it.
Anyway MS have truly given up in Europe if they've resorted to bundling their game on ps4. |
Just because they don't focus on Hardware like Sony and Nintendo, doesn't mean they just throw all there games away to there competitors. MS is a Business just like Sony and Big N who do deals with each other all the time in and outside of gaming. They aren't holding Pom Poms and cheering when they outsell there competitor. They cheer when they make money.
Also link me this Minecraft deal everyone keeps talking about? Because MC is completely owned by MS not shared like Pokémon is to Nintendo. MS own 100% of MC and they can do as they please with it.
Also Minecraft is expandable for MS. They are probably using the sales of Switch and PS4 to help pay off the $2.5b costing price of the franchise that they paid for.
Eventually if Sony allows Live on PS4 you will see Halo and co on PS4 at the cost of paying for the Live service.
Companies aren't cheerleaders like the fans that follow. There business man and woman aiming to gain as much market as they can. So PS4 MC bundles sold earns MS profit and keeping some exclusives for the Xbox Hardware generates interests in there hardware as well so its a win win situation.
In other words, if you aren't going to buy MS hardware, they can still make money off there games.
