@Jenson1975 This is a PS website. Of course it is biased. With that being said, Liam said he is playing Starfield. Blasphemy!

@Nyne11Tyme Does this make you happy?

@lacerz They will be compared to some extent but they are completely different games/genres. I for one cannot wait for Starfield. To me it looks amazing. Have to finish Demon's Souls remake first though which looks incredible by the way on the PS5.

@theSpectre The judge was not biased. Give me a break. Microsoft crying like babies? By the way, who was the one crying to regulators all over the world? The head of the market leader by a wide margin Jim Ryan. Again, stop spreading misinformation to support your own narrative. People act like they only want one company (Sony) to dominate them all.

@TheCollector316 You mean the judge hand picked by the FTC? You mean the judge who understands the video games business? You mean the judge that that told the FTC that their case was not to protect Sony but consumers? You mean the judge who is liberal and was hand picked by Biden? Stop spreading misinformation to support your own narrative.

@MrMagic Talk about a hypocritical view. I guess you don't use facts when making your uninformed opinions. Playstation is not a religion dude. Take your blinders off.

@Nei you obviously don’t understand who the S is made for.

Adding PC, dare I say Xbox, Steam, Cloud providers etc. would have added many more sales. I hope Sony really money hatted them. Let’s be honest, they are not happy with sales.

@Sausages You are missing my point but whatever.

@Sausages Oh lord. Although many people cannot buy all consoles I am lucky enough to own all of them. All are great in their own way. We should want them all to succeed, not just have one dominant player.

Gosh so many salty comments. Yikes. Anyway, I keep hearing Bethesda being brought up. Despite what was said in the trial about Sony money hatting Bethesda and as a result MS bought Bethesda, MS and Bethesda had a long relationship well before any game was produced for PS. Bethesda started as a PC company and eventually produced a few exclusives for Xbox before releasing on all platforms. People keep bringing up that Sony "cultivates" their studios and had long relationships with the ones they bought. Doesn't the same hold true for MS and Bethesda? You can't look at it with blue colored glasses. Be rational and stop being one sided to fit your narrative. As I have said before, consoles are not a religion. And Sony will be just fine after MS buys Activision. Sony has become arrogant just like they did with their overpriced electronics. They have done everything they could to try to destroy the competition. This time, they picked the wrong fight with a larger and more diversified company who has the funds to compete and a company that has grown tired of the Sony's underhanded anti-competitive tactics.

Appeal denied. It’s over. Learn to live with it.

@Nem No use arguing with irrational people.

Sony is in this position for one reason, arrogance, just like their overpriced tvs. They have done everything to kill the competition with exclusive deals, money hatting, paying for games to not be on game pass, buying up studios (oh yeah right, they nurture their studios.) Time for the religion to wake up. Sony messed with the wrong company with more resources and money that is more diversified and stronger financially. Poor Jimbo.

@Nem Good. Enjoy having a closed mind. I certainly will enjoy all of Bethesda's games and well as Activision. I will also enjoy playing PS and Nintendo exclusives. Sony's power needed to be checked and this is it. Remember, being a Sony fan is not a religion. Be a gamer fan.

The staying power of Mario Kart 8. Wow! I have played about 30 hours of TOTK and I am just so overwhelmed by it's scope. Needed a break. Playing Dark Souls 2 now.

Please report the full facts.

Again as I said in the other article, please post the full story and not just bits and pieces to incite the mob. This is irresponsible journalism.

You know Push Square, you could put some balanced articles about this situation and report everything else that has been said and occurred.

Great article Liam! Very well done.

@Ken_Kaniff Hogwash. Nintendo maybe but not Sony.

Mario Kart. I just don’t understand.

So this is to hit piece for Starfield. Got it.

@Pat_trick But that is why they can. They have a much more diversified business and business model.

@Kevw2006 Come on. don't act like Sony hasn't been bullying the competition for years. I am not saying either is right. But let's not pretend Sony has not had shady underhanded tactics for years.

@Pat_trick Maybe they are trying to bully but it appears they are trying to get on an even playing field with a different business model with subscription, console, pc, cloud and mobile. But let's be honest. The biggest bully in the market for years has been Sony. Let's not pretend that is not the case.

Shouldn't every person in the world own Mario Kart 8 by this point? Never seen anything like it.

@TheShrunkenHeadsman Good grief man get ahold of yourself.

@Imani you mean just like Sony? Stop with the nonsense. Ok for your blue Sony, but not anyone else. No “cultivating studios” in your responding comment.

@themightyant I'll say. It is a bonkers next couple of months! So many games so little time.

Had to be October. Starfield is September.

@KundaliniRising333 Ideals? That's a good one. How about brainwashed.

@Psnfanboy79 Dude come on. Get over yourself. We all play and love games. Stop being so irrational and short sighted. Good. Lord.

All I have to say is Mario Kart. The sales for this game is bonkers! Who doesn’t own it at this point.

Thank you Cryan Ryan

@MattBoothDev Just like Jim Ryan did?

Based on how huge TOTK is I am not sure I will be able to play anything except it all summer! When I play the game I constantly go off the beaten path to find new caves, wells, side quests etc. Some people may find it a grind and I understand but I am completely hooked. Back on topic if I had to choose it would probably Final Fantasy. I have never played any of the games before but it looks incredible. Between PS Plus, Switch, Game Pass and games that I have bought there is such a backlog. I am starting to realize though that even though I subscribe to all the services I normally end up playing the games I pay for. May have to ditch some services.

@eshy76 Good point makes sense.

@eshy76 I don't disagree about Redfall and MS games in general, but why would you want a knockout blow? Competition is a good thing. It is best for gamers that all consoles/developers publishers do well, whether you have a preference for Switch, PS, Xbox or PC.

I had the game delivered on Friday and I honestly cannot put it down. It is that good (at least for me). Nintendo outdid themselves this time.

Wow great month! Too bad I bought Tomb Raider on sale last year on my Xbox. So many games, so little time!

I think many of you need to read Liam's comments. He is spot on. Turn off your blinders. As an Xbox owner (and PS5, Switch & PC), I am not happy with the current slate of first party games from Xbox. Redfall is an utter embarrassment and should never have been released in it's current state and I was excited for it. Now I won't touch it until it's playable. Even then I may not play it. But what Phil is saying is true. Take some time and watch the entire video and take your blinders off.

Good lord Mario Kart 8. You would thing everyone has owned that game by now!!!

@Microbius And there is no reason to be! Great comment.

@RonnieL Feel better about yourself and your self esteem?

So much ignorance in so many of these posts. The “I want Sony to win at all costs” crowd is really scary. I have to admit that Sony is good at brainwashing their minions. Kind of like Apple. Wow, I have never seen the goal posts moving as much as they are here to fit a narrative.

@4kgk2 oh good lord.

@mrtennis1990 no, that would be Starfield.

Rather than focus on crying to regulators around the globe about the MS ABK acquisition, maybe Jim should be focused on games and lowering the price for this product.
