Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Sells SOE (Sony Entertainment Online) to Columbus Nova! Going multiplatform (Xbox)

Someone worked magic on the thread.



Around the Network

SOE always acted independent, so it is actually no change.



CPU: Ryzen 9950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

Somebody ask Patcher, he is bad at predictions but knows about this kind of deals.

Oh please sony never considered SOE "as part of the gaming division".It was not part of sony's internal studios.

I know where this is going,fanboys will start implying that Naughty dog or any other internal studio will be the next or something.

SOE was always an oddball,an outsider studio.They make mmos which is a PC oriented genre.

Thanks for the spin and damage control. The reality is Sony fans have been hyped about Planetside 2, H1Z1, and Everquest on PS4. Now all those IPs could potentially be on Xbox.

If MS sold something like Killer Instinct and it came to PS4, people would say that's another nail in the coffin for Xbox. Yet Sony selling an entire studio that had PS4 console exclusives is not big news?

Frankly, this news is delicious. Sony fans kept telling us Xbox is going to lose support because of PS4 domination. But who suspected Sony's financial situation is making them sell IPs which are now coming to Xbox?


if killer instinct came to ps4 it really wouldn't make the lead it has any bigger. the game is not a major system seller. all these games are PC focused and get really late port to consoles. it is really irrelivant in terms of ps4 vs x1 sales. it is great news for xbox gamers that will want to play some free games down the line. but anyone really into these games will be playing on pc. i'll download planetside just like i did warframe. a good filler for a few weeks and that's it. 

also please don't group sony fans under 1 banner. enough of that done earlier in this thread. we all have different opinions.

They were a PC focused company, and never truly part of teh Playstation ecosystem. Someone who worked there even used teh term "console peasant." Insomniac going Xbone exclusive was a bigger lost than this imo.



Makes you wonder about the state of Everquest Next and H1Z1.. no doubt they will be money makers but Sony couldn't, wouldn't, didn't want to wait for them

Insomniac isn't Xbone exclusive, they have a R&C game in the works right now.

And Evolve has a "PC Monster Race" special edition coming, an obvious play on the "PC master race" meme. Doesn't mean they aren't still in support of consoles.

" Sony fans have been hyped about Planetside 2, H1Z1, and Everquest on PS4"

Naaaa, never touched DCU not even once and I'm a big DC comis fan and never seen hype about those game to be honest



I find this article completely hilarious. With all these game journalists saying Nintendo needs to go third party, they can't make consoles, blah, blah , blah. Sony the massive console pusher are the one s going third party, ha ha Classic. NINTENDO KNOWS BEST!!!
