Okay, so here’s the deal. Microsoft, right? They made this wild move with Xbox games. Suddenly, exclusives like Forza Horizon popped up on other consoles. Weird? Totally. Back then, folks thought Xbox was singing its own swan song. PlayStation and Nintendo were crushing it. Well, fast-forward — everything’s flipped upside down.
Yeah, Xbox hardware sales aren’t blowing up. But then again, who cares? They’re racking up playtime hours like nobody’s business. High-quality games keep rolling in, and they’ve got this Xbox Cloud Gaming thing going on. Millions are still glued to their consoles. Even PlayStation decided to toss Helldivers 2 into Xbox’s ring. I mean, what’s up with that?
Now — and this is where it gets juicy — PlayStation’s kind of hinting at something big. There’s this job listing floating around, thanks to some dude named Hazzador on X. It’s like PlayStation’s thinking, “Hey, why not share our stuff too?” Games like God of War, The Last of Us, maybe even Horizon might be hitting Steam or Xbox. Intriguing, right?
The role? A bigwig position — Senior Director for Multiplatform & Account Management. You’d think it’s all business jargon, but it means making sure PlayStation games land on Xbox and PC. Talking power moves here!
Gaming biz? It’s a whole different beast now. Sony’s eyeing fat margins, and instead of convincing folks to switch consoles, why not cash in on Xbox players who’ve never dabbled in their games? Seems like win-win — Xbox gets the goods, Sony rakes in cash. Honestly, makes my head spin thinking about it.
With whispers of Xbox running Steam, who knows? Maybe Sony cuts a sweet deal to publish directly on Xbox. If Microsoft waved a better share than, say, Steam, that could kick things off.
Bottom line? Everyone’s in this mad dash to catch eyes. From Netflix to TikTok, it’s all about grabbing attention wherever you can. Gamers, viewers, whoever — they’re all scattered. It’s a jungle.
Anyway — oh, almost forgot — I’ve already snagged Helldivers 2 on Xbox. So, yeah, looking forward to the madness ahead.
