| twintail said: I tend to agree. I think it's been speculated by a few ppl (even on this board) that Sony could look to push F2P and MP titles day and date with PC (and Spartacus), since inevitably these probably don't impact hardware sales. Hardware is still a vital element of Sony's strategy as clearly PS5's are being bought as they release. I will add that I did think Sony could push their sports titles in a similar way (hot shots golf/ tennis at the time) because they were rather niche on PS and could've used the expanded audience. MLB being multiplatform (whether Sony decided or not) seems to make a case for pushing other sport brands in a similar way. Dunno if you agree. |
I completely agree.
I think this Bungie purchase is the perfect bridge for Sony to introduce their F2P/MP titles onto PC day and date, as well as having them on Spartacus, which also lines up with a lot of Sony PR today about going multiplatform, and having an "aggressive road map for live service games." They would still have their massive tentpole single player games that can move hardware and software.
Although I doubt Sony's multiplayer push will include any sports games outside of MLB, unless you count racing games, factor in acquisitions, or just look at the overall backlog from the PS2/PSP. I could see smaller AA titles being released on Spartacus though.
