Image / Video Two minute apart from each other

This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

PlayStation got comfy being the big dog of the consoles and though they were untouchable

Thing is, Sony apparently walked away, not Kojima. So what the hell is going on?

Xbox started going all digital long before Sony, they're just not dumb enough to openly say it.

Theyre still releasing physical first party games

How many first party games and exclusives have released as digital only for xbox already? Or postponed physical once digital sales numbers came in?

Sony is also still releasing physical first party games until 2028, and how many have been digital only in the past?

Halo, fable, gears eday all have physical releases

u/PancakePanic Sep 10 '26

So do Wolverine, Laufey and Fable on ps5?

Know what didn't have physical releases? Or only got one way later not published by MS? Hellblade 2, Outer Worlds 2, HiFi Rush, probably more.

Xbox is also heavily pushing digital even more with the "Disc to digital" thing they launched recently.

It doesn't make sense

Why would Sony cancel the project because they want all digital?
