You let me play Persona 3 Reload for 'free' and for that I'll remember you.
Make a Lost Odyssey remaster before you die.

Lots of rumors that their games are coming to PlayStation, and that their big new IPs like Call of Duty won't be coming to Gamepass.
I don't know if this is really the beginning of the end for them or whatever but it feels like an emergency button is being pressed.
Oh, is that all? I was thinking they made some big dumb decision like a couple years ago when they tried to skyrocket the price of Xbox live and had to back down.
Far as I'm concerned, the fewer exclusives, the better for everyone.
Making their games available everywhere is cool.
I'm just not sure where that leaves them or their console, or their subscription model, etc.
"Far as I'm concerned, the fewer exclusives, the better for everyone."
100% Disagree.
Exclusives are good for competition which gives is good for business which in turn is more money for new games. Also competition can lead to more originality and better use of hardware.
Note that I never said there could or should be zero exclusives. But it would be cool for PS5 players to try out Gears of War. And it'd be rad if Xbox players could play Ratchet and Clank.
A bit contradicting there. Then what games should be exclusives if not first party games??
Both games are system sellers (GP got new subscribers due to Starfield. How many I do not know).
R&C:RA would be a huge letdown on XsX because of the lack of Dualsense features. The devs did a damn fine job on that and is actually one of the games with best use of it. It's a delight. (Then again Starfield could be a bit better with it xD)
Of course it would be nice for those who can't afford several consoles/GPC, but would be a bit boring of there was no competition to come up with new ideas, both in software and hardware and that's what the competition is good for.
I am pretty sure that without Nintendo and Mario there would be no Sega and Sonic, or if the N64 wouldn't have had an analogue stick the PS might never have gotten any,just to make some old-school examples.
I mean, being that no one seems to care about Microsoft exclusives I'm not really sure what the argument here is.
Yeah I think timef exclusives can still work fine. Who the fuck is rewlly mass buying a big sony game say 2 or 3 years after release.
Yes thats my point lol. Most sony players are most likely not going to bother much buying 3 year old Sony games so why not port them to Xbox and get more sales and vice versa for Xbox with sony.
Ratchet & Clank isn't profitable. It only exists as a vehicle to bring people into the PS5 ecosystem, alongside Sony's other first party lineup.
When people buy PlayStations they buy third party games, mtx, subscriptions, accessories, etc. That's how you make your money, and why Sony doesn't put these games on Xbox. Nintendo uses a similar model but they don't rely on third party revenue as much because their first party exclusives are more profitable.
If you don't do that, people don't buy into your closed ecosystems. See: Wii U, Vita, Dreamcast, etc.
Yeah, more people being able to play whatever they want is always a good thing in my book
