Microsoft and Activision have formed a new team within Blizzard.
Well, it is lies, not sure how effective it is for your sleeping pattern.
Even ignoring Sony’s official statement regarding its single play focus for the future, Sony has also stated, on multiple occasions, that in today’s industry, the games are taking longer to make. This rings true as their direct competitor has had less releases than Sony since the beginning of the generation. Additionally, the effects of the chip shortage put a hiccup in the sale of consoles (especially for PS5) and that could contribute to developers adjusting their projects.
Sony’s acquisition of Bungie was a major get, for comparison’s sake, MS paid over twice as much for Zenimax which I do not believe was a wise decision at all.
Sony has not “backed down” from live service, they had a very successful live service game in Helldivers. They need to continue in this space, as MS is focusing exclusively in live service and Sony needs to compete.
MS’s recent report involved the numbers of Activision purchase, and neither one of us has the expertise nor the information to predict if “40% increase” is a positive result following the expenditure of more funds than MS has made in GROSS revenue in the ENTIRETY of its existence in console industry. (I hope you understood the gravity of this sentence)
