"irrelevant" LOL

I wonder how many posts it took on page one for that narrative to start.

Anyways, it's funny to me. Hope that helps.

Well it is relatively irrelevant to SCE's overall strategy. Heck, SOE is not even among worldwide studios' inner circle.

That said, though, I find it very peculiar that you're counting posts.

now that is something i find funny!

 If it's so irrelevant, why was your first reply telling Seece it's "big news"? If they are irrelevant, then it's not big news.

Planetside 2 has gotten a lot of talk on here. And plenty here were looking forward to H1Z1. DC Universe sucks. You don't have to shift tons of consoles for something to be big news. I mean, aren't you the guy who like a week ago was trying to say Microsoft's YouTube policies were a big deal? And yet Sony selling off SOE is not a big deal? LOL give me a break.

So if Planetside 2 turns out to be amazing, it's not a big deal that Xbox One owners could play the game as well? Same with H1Z1. And what if EQ Next is phenomenal. Sony will be missing out on tons of revenue from subscriptions. It's a big move. And depending on what they produce in the future, could be huge.

it is big news because sony are selling something that will make them a lot of money. it's big news for sony. it's pretty irrelevant as far as playstation is concered. it will still get the pc ports years after they come out on pc. That's not going to change. 

Microsofts YouTube policy was a step in the wrong direction. It's not really a big deal because Halo has become irrelivant with most youtubers anyway. Especially compared to the hay day of 2007/2008/2009. I work in the industry and it has fallen big time. That move will do little to encourage a much needed revival. 

I'm sure planetside 2 will be great but only on pc. it should be good on ps4 but it will be a lot less than the pc version and coming a lot later. it's not gonna move consoles. It's big news potentially for xbox if they get the ports. And when i say xbox i mean the current fanbase. this ain't gonna move many xboxs for MS. I'm sure they would miss out on a ton of subs but the price they are selling this for would cover those subs and then some. Otherwise they would keep it and take all the subs instead.

w8 wat? why are you guys talking like planetside 2 is a new game that has to prove itself? its out for over 2 years... its great game, the best fps sony ever did. and it will not come to the xbone in the near future, they needed 2 years to port it to the ps4...

This is going to be my last post in the thread on this "is it a big deal" narrative because it's just petty what some are saying. The problem with the post you made here and posts others like Kerotan or Roronaaaaa are making is that you're making them entirely from a defensive, almost damage controlling point of view, as if this represents an attack on Sony or something. This can be a big deal to many people and the industry in general, and also be a wise move by Sony. It doesn't have to be "irrelevant" or "not a big deal" or "LOL shouldve sold them sooner!!". Using the same logic you guys are using, Microsoft splitting with Bungie was irrelevant, and not a big deal. I mean, another capable company is making Halo now, and Bungie has moved on to Destiny, which is also on MS platforms. So who cares, right?

But it was a big deal because it gave Bungie freedom and allowed many others to experience their games. Anyone who is either a fan of Daybreak games or was looking forward to playing one or more of them on PC or PS4, can now look forward to possibly playing an even better game than they'd have gotten otherwise. And any Xbone owner who maybe thought H1Z1 or Planetside 2 look cool, well hey maybe now they'll get a chance to play them. And with that increased revenue, perhaps the PC and PS4 versions of those games are even better as more money is pumped into them? And who knows what other projects this increased revenue will bring them.

And of course that is not even touching the fact that it has to be a big deal to Daybreak themselves to move to another publisher who surely has more money than Sony does.

Regarding the bolded, silly goose, if I were counting posts then I wouldn't have been wondering how many it took. Hope that helps.



Yes it's broke as heck for me too.

Absolute horrendous day for PlayStation because of this IMO. That's 4 announced/released console exclusives (Planetside 2, H1Z1, EverQuest Next and DC Universe Online) most likely going to XB1 also, and obviously slowing down Planetside 2, H1Z1 and EverQuest Next development for PS4.

Only one of those games is even out on PS4. Considering how slow SOE has been with console development it's going to be years before any of those games come to Xbox. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Not important for me, I never played a game from them.
I hope Sony invests the money correctly.



Didn't think this website could get even more broken... SMH.

OT: Kinda surprised, but good news for One owners.

As it turns out, Seece just made a positive Sony thread. Good show.



Big news, but probably for the best, nothing huge has come out of SEO in a long time.

Going by VG Chartz database the highest sold game is champion of norrath at 1.28 million, the rest barely came close to a million.
