Shenmue never appeared on Nintendo and Steam. It did appear on Xbox and because of that, IMO, they had a responsibility to the fans - just like Sega did.
Phil Spencer even publicly stated it was the most requested game by fans, but he chose not to do anything about it.
It was only two years ago MS said they wanted to support newer and older IPs but instead we are getting COD after COD, Halo after Halo; with very little interest for anything else. That is not the sort of behavior I want to encourage.

You act like its their fault you get a new COD every 12 months. And the main Halo entries do not release every single year like COD either. Usually 2-3 years in-between each numbered entry.

If it goes crossplatform, Sony won't put nearly enough into the game, hell advertisement alone.
Sony can now put a shit ton of money behind it and say " You can't get this experience on an xbox" That is huge. Microsoft had their chance with Shenmue 2x and they dropped the ball.
Plus the XboxOne is garbage.

I'm not gonna defend the last guy and his potential hypocrisy, but I'm sure Activision was just as motivated to collab as Sony. There's at least twice as many PS4s than XB1s out there, they want them Sony dollars too.

What, Sony is worse with the deals it strikes. Destiny has been out since last September. There are strikes, missions, multiplayer maps and weapons that have been exclusive to Playstation for almost 10 months now. This is coming from a Sony fan, I don't give a crap about Microsoft lol. But the stuff you're saying makes no sense. You just have something against Microsoft it seems.
MiTT3NZ wrote:No, I consider it stupid on account of the fact that the video game industry is not a public service. Companies don't have to try to acquire franchise rights on the basis that the franchise appeared on their console. It ain't like it was an exclusive either.
It's the equivalent of saying that Nintendo would be responsible for the future of the Metal Gear franchise if it were to go dormant following Kojima's departure.
I know you believe in what you're saying, and you think it makes sense, but it honestly doesn't.
