Sorry for the double post but this user is saying Ghost of Tsushima will be announced for pc tomorrow. If that’s the case then starfield is indeed coming to ps5.This is now the second time I've seen this user referenced. Do they have credibility or did they just show up out of nowhere and are currently unproven?

Seems like starfield on ps5 could very well be happening if their track record continues
There were two Twitter accounts mentioning that and GoT. This account specifically mentioned starfield on ps5 after the four Xbox games were announced.Not directly related, but if it's the same Twitter account we're talking about, this also means Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster for all console end of the year, cause they said that too. ^^
the word is that PS5 Starfield isn't until after the DLCGuess they'll wait until June or later State of Play to announce Starfield?
Please not another "we'll discuss the future of Xbox next week" ffs.

happy Easter Xbox
I think there is a world in the multiverse in which instead of pouring tons of dollars for 25 years with mixed results, to finally become a publisher what they could have been from the beginning, Microsoft chose instead to buy Sega, to save the Dreamcast and do something positive for the industry for once.
I mean, before they even launched the Xbox they’ve literally been obsessed with Nintendo for a quarter of a century while Nintendo doesn’t give a shit about them, but it never occurred to them to come to the rescue of Sega when it would have made a ton of sense for many reasons.
Sega also has American roots, and in terms of know-how in video games, with the quality of its intellectual property and the richness of its catalog, it had everything to match the needs of Microsoft which was launching on the market. But of course, Microsoft only became interested in Sega when it was too late and Sega was no longer a console manufacturer.
As you say very well, 'post' Dreamcast. I’m just saying that since Microsoft wanted to get into game consoles, and since they always liked to buy everything that moves, it would have been interesting for them to buy Sega at that time. We are in pure fiction of course.I mean... This isn't really true though, is it.
Microsoft partnered with Sega to include a Windows CE layer in the Dreamcast operating software. When the Dreamcast finally bit the dust, they poached a number of individuals from Sega including Peter Moore to head up the Xbox branch. They actively partnered with Sega to get a number of their post-Dreamcast games as Xbox games and even exclusives: Shenmue 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, the Otogi games... Accord to Wiki, the two companies formed a strategic business alliance that covered development of 11 different games for Xbox.
Microsoft was literally one of Sega's most important partners following their move to becoming a third party publisher. The two had a business relationship going back years. Microsoft was definitely aware of and interested in Sega
You're probably right. We're in the realm of the hypothetical and fictional anyway.I've read way, way too many Peter Moore horror stories to know how that would've went.
Microsoft would approach SEGA of America. SEGA of America would've went to SEGA of Japan. SEGA of Japan would've told both SoA and Microsoft to fuck off.
It's interesting to fantasize about how MS could've saved SEGA without the realization that SEGA's divine lack of communication between their branches is what contributed to their downfall.
Microsoft probably wanted to take over Nintendo because then they would have access to all Nintendo IP and could release consoles with Nintendo branding, which is much stronger than the Xbox brand today still in the gaming space. If Microsoft were able to release Nintendo consoles in markets like Europe their market share compared to today would skyrocket in the European market.I think there is a world in the multiverse in which instead of pouring tons of dollars for 25 years with mixed results, to finally become a publisher what they could have been from the beginning, Microsoft chose instead to buy Sega, to save the Dreamcast and do something positive for the industry for once.
