Sony doesn't make laptops and virtually has no presence in the PC gaming space anymore. Damn times are tough.

It's getting harder and harder to ignore Sonys money troubles now, is it PS fans?

Nobody is ignoring Sony's money troubles, only people like you are pretending other people are ignoring those money troubles.

Massive news for the gaming world.

However, many of you are jumping the gun in assuming that PS4 just lost 4 console only exclusives. The only information in Johns tweet said that he was excited to start making games on xbox. As far as we know, there might be contracts and deals in place that still make H1Z1, Planetside 2 and the remaining two exclusive to the PS4.

That is likely true but people also forget that these games were likely going to move very few consoles anyway. The hardcore MMO gamers will stay on PC. 

Nobosy bought a PS4 for Warframe but a shit load of people downloaded it because it was free and many still play. It will be the same for Planetside 2 and the others.  Many from the massive PS4 install base will download and play them but hardly anyone will buy a PS4 for these even if they remain console exclusive. 

Who said these were system sellers? This news only serves to possibly shrink PS fans lists wars and likely demoralize them.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

You'd be surprised how many people think as long as Playstation makes money that Sony's wider troubles don't matter.

The article said that SOE is a leader in MMO why Sony accept to sell it?


Why does a junkie sell their valuable jewlery to droll on their own lap in an alley? They have no options.

 I was wondering the same thing...... maybe would it have something to do with Sony abandoning definetely computer business?  Not long ago they closed their notebook division.....

can you not post without having a pop at PS fans? Did we do something to annoy you? Or did Sony? I just don't get the constant digs.

Judging by your posts and signature you seem to be very obsessed with these "list wars", are you sure the morale problem lies with another party?

Who said anything about drugs?

Sony could be a financial stability junkie ;)

To companies sell things to "droll on their own lap in an alley"? 

He''s been banned so I think I'll stick to my reasonable version of events. Especially considering the other posts included in his ban. 

Let's be real here: you only took issue with his phrasing because its hard to defend your pro-Playstation position against news like this.

I guess it makes sense. SOE makes PC/Playstation games. All other Sony studios make Playstation-only games.

Sony wants to focus on PS4. Making SOE game PS4-only would not make sense from a financial standpoint. They would not be profitable if they dropped PC support. Sell the studio and take the money to invest in your other PS studios.
