Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread (Part 1)

Not that I agree with Prog but this is a cop out answer imo lol.

Gears And Forza never even sniffed selling more than 20% of their console base. The only Halo game to go above 25% was Halo 2.

Yet we all know how integral those franchises were in terms of selling consoles.

Exclusives still matter a lot, just maybe not as much as they used to.

But like Prog said, we all should just move on from this topic lol, atleast for tonight. :stuck_out_tongue:

What do you imagine Phil plans to do with the billions of dollars in new revenue flowing in from ABK games?

Hint: It rhymes with ‘more exclusives’…

You think having all CoD’s on GP day 1 and not on competing streaming services won’t help GP become even more dominant?! o.0

Help Microsoft become the world’s first 5 Trillion Dollar Company?

Gaming is their key vector for growth in establishing their vision for a Metaverse. That cash will be invested in exclusives.

No because the CoD bros will just buy on PS5 where they can get GoW and Spider-Man which are you know EXCLUSIVE.

No offense dude, but Metaverse is bullshit buzzword fad.

CoD bros don’t buy Spiderman or GoW. The Metaverse is a buzzword, but not a meaningless fad. It’s why MS is investing so heavily in ABK without blinking an eye.

Have you seen the amount of copies Miles Morales has sold?

Yeah, they’re buying it.

Those aren’t CoD bros. Those are hardcore gamers who buy those titles. CoD bros are casuals.

You think Spider-Man is only for the hard-core?

YOU DON’T THINK CASUALS ARE BUYING SPIDER-MAN GAMES?

Posts like that are you always end up banned…

For what?

Disagreeing with the ABSURD notion that Spider-Man, THE MOST POPULAR SUPERHERO IN THE WORLD, that his high quality games on PS4 are only played by the HARDCORE?

No for trolling people. Find me any data backing up your hypothesis that the casual masses are the ones flocking to PSX for exclusives. Also, find me data backing up your claims that GP dominance is immaterial to casual gamers (who historically are price sensitive). Go.

How am I trolling? By disagreeing with you? Is disagreeing with you considered trolling?

It’s called having a discussion, and the idea that “CoD bro” casual bros wouldn’t flock to a high-quality like Spider-Man, the most popular superhero IP in the world is to me, absurd.

Posting gifs insulting other members isn’t helping you be a productive member of the forum…

You aren’t having a discussion yet. You are just making assertions and not backing them up with anything. Start supplying some evidence for your claims please.

I don’t care what you think is absurd. I care about what you can bring to the discussion that actually has a basis in reality with data to back it up.

I was DONE with this discussion up you keep bringing up my posts from days ago trying to change my mind when I’ve already made my point clear.

For both our sakes, lets just drop it and move onto something else.

I’ve said my peace on this topic and i’m literally bouncing out until something new and worthwhile comes out worth discussing on Acti-Blizz.

For at least the sake of my account.

If you are insisting that you are not mentally capable of having your mind changed on a topic that means you are admitting you have nothing to add to the discussion/thread. This isn’t your personal therapy session. Be constructive with your comments.

If exclusives are what drives casuals, how come Sony’s exclusives aren’t what dominates the best selling titles on PS4 in 2021? There were a grand total of 0 exclusives in the top 10 PS4 games for 2021 in the US as per NPD. If you had actually thought out your position thoroughly, you should be able to explain that result.
