FUN NOTE: Sony had been negotiating timed exclusivity on Starfield as recently as a few months ago. Going to guess either those talks are done or the price suddenly went way, way up.

Absolutely. Also the xbox/ PS total console sales has remained almost exactly flat since the first gen they were competing.:I don't see Sony as complacent at all. They just don't have the same billions of loose change lying around as MS.
PS2 155-160M + xbox 24M = ~180M
PS3 ~88M + X360 ~87M = ~175M
PS4 ~120M + XB1 ~55M = ~175M
I don't see any possibility that xbox doesn't grow this gen, I'm predicting 75M. I think due to series S total sales will grow for the first time due to more people owning both consoles, but some of that will still be a steal from playstation. Unless there's something unforseen which dramatically grows the console market this gen, PS4's 120M is the ceiling for PS5 I think. And I also see no scenario where PS5 is behind the PS4 launch aligned within at least the first two years.
About all that buying, that would be nuts. Microsoft have a lot of money but they don't want to go all in on xbox without evidence that its going to work out. Bethesda is huge already, that's probably it for a long time.
Well yeah I guess it is similar, Sony are making some mistakes and are being somewhat complacent but this is also a huge move from Microsoft. Its a combination of both. Microsoft want xbox with game pass to become the netflix of gaming but even more dominant with no real rival services. Looks like right now that its going to happen. Game Pass will be monstrous in a few years time and will start making a lot of money.
To answer the question everyone is asking: Phil Spencer tells @dinabass that Xbox plans to honor the PS5 exclusivity commitment for Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo.

Future Bethesda games will be on Xbox, PC, and "other consoles on a case by case basis." https://t.co/Agyttr53LO

One or two, maybe. Meanwhile Microsoft could easily buy 10 or 20, if they really wanted to.To answer the question everyone is asking: Phil Spencer tells @dinabass that Xbox plans to honor the PS5 exclusivity commitment for Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo.

They might not have spare change lying around.
But they can almost certainly afford a company or two on this scale.
I hate this whole thing.
Next up Sony should buy Take Two.
They might not have spare change lying around.i do not like that idea but to survive i think sony might have to.

VizionEck Cube Royale is releasing this year "I'm Mike Armbrust" -Me |
How much profit has xbox one made this gen? $7.5 billion is huge.Sony should respond with "guess who is opening up 10 more studios?"
Even if Zenimax was going to be like Sony online and do their own thing, this isn't good. We need lots of independent pubs to have a healthy industry.
I hope Bethesda stays awesome and I hope Sony doesn't respond by buying their own pub.
How will Sony respond? (Assuming they will).sony has already said they have their eyes open for new acquisitions. they might acquire someone but:
I think it would make sense to buy some smaller studios. And open up a few more.
sony has already said they have their eyes open for new acquisitions. they might acquire someone but:Maybe sony will do a deal 1/10000th as big.
1. it's not entirely a reaction to this news
2. the deal won't be 1/10th at big
