Alright..alright. I hereby apologize bud :) 

I know I've given MS a lot of shit over this and I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. Truth is this whole cross gen strategy sucks imo and my day was ruined when I heard Sony was doing the same thing. With Spider Man MM it was kinda to be expected. But HFW going cross gen has decimated my excitement for that game. Not sure what happened there, it probably has mostly to do with the pandemic and releasing a new console in such a uncertain market. However, I don't think its part of Sony's core strategy and I'm sure GOW2 will at least turn up as a true next gen spectacle.

Accepted :)

I have my doubts about GOW2. 3 year turn around from the last game and Sony’s messaging issues makes it uncertain at this point. Imo in the end it comes down to money. A brand new install base won’t give you the same returns when you have a 110 million base also. If Sony hurt at all during the pandemic and if they in fact taking a hit on the PS5 hardware I can see this as part of their measures to ensure profitability overall. 

Yeah, who knows anymore lol. I definitely feel like Sony dropped the ball on that one. They did get a lot crap for it so hopefully they'll think twice before they'll make gow2 cross gen too, though.

For me it was always weird how Xbox guys were so ok with the whole cross gen thing, which is why I spend all those months ranting. In the end we all want the same from next gen; great games that wouldn't be possible on the console we already have. If Sony or MS isn't delivering on that front, I really feel we should call them out on it.
