Nope, profit is what count.


You mentioned some Sony franchises that went above 15 million. So how much profit does Sony make bundling games like God of War or Spider-Man or Uncharted 4? Or selling them for $18? Or bundling Horizon or selling the complete version for $15? Doesn’t sound like much profit. Maybe this is why they charge $70 for their software now and haven’t been doing bundles.

That would be an incorrect analysis.  Since Sony is also purchasing companies.  MS is purchasing Devs and Publishers not in response to Sony but instead response to the market.  Right now everyone is purchasing Devs and publishers are up for sale.  People continue to live in the Console war mindset but those wars are pretty much gone.  MS purchase Bethesda and Activision not because of Sony but because they were up for sale and if they are going to make Gamepass the defacto subscription then content is king.  I looked at Apple earnings and you just know they are coming into the game, its only a matter of time. 2 billion devices out in the wild.  You guys forward vision continue to limit you in understanding a big shift happening in the market.

This post makes too much sense, mods should have closed the thread right after it was submitted. 

Naw, the OP said it was a fun thread its us that sometimes takes things way to serious.

Its hard for me to think about what I would trade for COD because I only play it every now and then and skip years all the time.  Since I always get a PS and Xbox system it really means nothing to me if COD goes away on PS but I know like my Soy who plays ever night, he would trade everything for it.
