Forums - Sony Discussion - Indiana Jones announced on PS store. Is Xbox doing the right thing?

 

Microsoft are...

Doing the right thing 3 27.27%
 
Making a mistake 2 18.18%

That's a big one. Also they aren't holding onto Doom Dark ages or No rest for the Wicked which you can wishlist now on PSN. Are Microsoft making the right moves?

We could see Avowed on there yet. And if this works out The Elder Scrolls 6 and a port of Starfeild perhaps, hell maybe even Halo with MP cross play between the two warring systems...?

What does Microsoft have to do with No rest for the wicked? they don't own the studio nor own the rights to the game.

In any case Microsoft will be going third party its pretty evident, people who are still arguing are just in denial phase atm even after all the announcement and exec themselves saying there will be more.

Yeah they do, it was made by the Devision... or am I mixing it up with another game?

IDK who Devision is but the studio who made No rest for the wicked is Moon studio which is a independent developer and owns the rights to the IP.



It's Microsoft Gaming now, Xbox just happens to be part of that. Microsoft Gaming wants all possible sources of revenue which includes releasing games on other consoles.

Oh I see, I mixed up their publisher with Xbox owned studio The Division. My bad. 



My theory is Microsoft had reached a deal where [X] copies of Indiana Jones needed to be sold w/in [Y] months. In any case, Microsoft’s gonna need to pull a NSW 2017 if they want to remain competitive. I don’t think Indiana Jones going myltiplat will change anything, unless it’s highly acclaimed.



With how much money Microsoft has invested in in their gaming division, they want to bring in as much money as possible. There's a reason why the overarching division is calling Microsoft Gaming. Xbox only being a division within that hierarchy.

Indiana Jones didn't surprise me once we saw how much Disney's licensing fees are. It's so insane it had Sony bundling Spider-Man 2 for free when the game launched with consoles to help ensure the game reached a certain number of sales. But also, Satya Nadella has made it clear that he hates exclusives, and other companies such as Sega and Square Enix are echoing that same sentiment of focusing on multiplatform releases going forward.

So with how much money has been invested, MS is trying to minimize the risk of losing money. And it seems to be working. It's pretty clear that going forward, all first party releases will be timed exclusives.

Will we see PS games on Xbox? Will we see Nintendo games on Steam?

Probably not right away, but if Sony wants to stay in business it's will have to put it's games on more than just it's own console eventually with the high costs and long developing time.  Losing all that money on Concord isn't helping them either.
