Sony keeps remastering games no one asked for and leaving IPs people want on the shelf. How long have people begged for Bloodborne? Xenoblade Chronicles X, like Bloodborne, has been asked for years. Unlike Sony, Nintendo finally gave people that they wanted. You know something is wrong when you can release a The Last of Us 1 Trilogy.

TLoU is by far more impactfull than Xenoblade X, it's also older, even the remaster is older than XCX. The TLoU Remake is also vastly more updated compared to either the original or the remaster than this definitive version is for the original Wii U game. Not a good choice of example I would say.

I've played TLoU on PS3 and I never felt like getting either the remaster or the remake, the same for Horizon Zero Dawn, but that would very likely be the same if I had already played XCX. Also, the original Xenoblade Chronicles also has released a trilogy of the same game... Wii, 3DS and Switch. So we can clearly see there is also something wrong with Xenoblade Chronicles... right? No.

I'm happy to be able to have all 4 XC games on the Switch, but it's very clear the treatment is not the same based on reception.

Wii u 13.56 million, switch 143.49 million+ 

Ps4 117.19 million, ps5 61.94 million+

This is why people are fine with this. Plus most of the games Sony are remastering are already readily available on ps5. Also Sony are releasing very few actual new games, which is the main frustration people have at the moment.
