Industry news
Sony wants Final Fantasy to become exclusive
Let PS become the mainstream of the times
Recently, a reporter from VGC revealed, "Sony wants to make the PS platform the mainstream of this era." Final Fantasy VII Remake was supposed to land on Xbox, but that didn't happen. According to him, most games released by SE should land on Xbox, but it is debatable whether the Future Final Fantasy canon series will land on Xbox.
He also mentioned in the forum that SE is now "firmly on sony's side" and that the close ties between the two sides have exceeded the scope of public awareness.
Spencer talks about XGP and buying games
It is not intended to replace traditional buying games
Recently, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in an interview with foreign media that buying games separately is a traditional part of the game, and that he does not intend to phase out game purchases because even though the GAME PASS business is growing rapidly, it is still not leading retail game consumption.
Spencer also said that the Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass put him in a small dilemma. On the one hand, it makes sense to recommend that everyone spend $1 on a subscription service and use a month to play as many co-op and single-player games as possible. Even with a subscription at the normal price of $10 a month, if you play a lot of games, subscribing to Game Pass is a good deal, with the PC version alone including more than 400 games.
On the cloud services side, Spencer said that while it doesn't look like cloud streaming will replace downloading games anytime soon, Google's Stadia has revolutionized games, and many powerful companies still see this as the future, including Microsoft. "I think the cloud is the key, Netflix obviously has cloud services, Amazon Cloud and Google has real cloud computing capabilities." In this regard, Spencer believes that Microsoft has an advantage, because with the development of cloud technology, Microsoft already knows how to make games.
