  • Kotick says PlayStation’s CoD revenue is 2x higher than Xbox CoD revenue; says PlayStation being successful has lead to CoD’s success too

    This is why the paid exclusivity deals from Sony seem really anti-consumer, even if they are only temporary exclusivity (most sales happen at launch).

    If you already have the most market share, and by quite a large margin (the Switch is bit of a different market), then it’s a lot easier for you to buy exclusivity deals because a developer will be losing a lot less sales by being exclusive to PlayStation than by being exclusive to Xbox.

    Of course, these exclusivity deals then further grow PlayStation’s higher market share in a positive feedback loop and this ultimately leads to less competition and worse outcomes for consumers.















  • I don’t get the controversy over 30fps. Like I played RDR2 at 30fps and didn’t even notice it.

    The gameplay itself is far more important and on that front Bethesda has been second to none. There isn’t even one single game that comes close to what they have achieved in The Elder Scrolls. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was close but much smaller in scope (which makes sense given the size of the studio).

    I’ve played every single one of their games since Morrowind and while Fallout 76 was a flop and Fallout 4 was perhaps a bit disappointing, at least without DLC, almost all of their games have been incredible.

    In Todd we trust.
