The Xbox Podcast deep dive on E-Day was published on Monday and briefly featured a version of the latest trailer that incorrectly stated that the game was coming to Sony’s console.
The PS5 logo slip-up in the Xbox podcast seems to support claims that the decision to make Gears an Xbox-only game was made at the last minute by its leadership team.
Neither of these console companies have made good decisions in the past year.
Sony is fucking up big time with all kinds of stuff they’re doing, like paying 3.6 billion for Bungie and then throwing their weight behind a game that nobody wants and nobody likes instead of the game that made Bungie what it is. Then Sony jacked up the price of PlayStation Plus and announced that they’re no longer supporting PC with single player games. I have zero faith in Sony to make the right decisions anymore.
And now Xbox is pulling their shit with this exclusivity crap. Exclusivity doesn’t make me want to go out and buy your console. It makes me want to avoid the console and everything related to you. There are plenty of games that won’t be wrapped up in this bullshit that I’ll be playing instead.
Which is why what they’re doing is so dumb
They think people will rush out and buy ps5s for exclusives, after people just sold theirs. Hell, I gave mine away to my niece. I’m not going to buy another or a ps6 knowing that at any moment exclusives won’t be exclusive again.
The flip flop just showed people it can change. And if they don’t sell enough consoles, they will switch again. And people still won’t buy them at full price.
Ol’ Petey sure got his bag, though. Can buy at least a few more cars with his golden parachute.
