um isn't that the same?
nope, for marvel can release a vod animated movie but not release it in theaters.
any revenue through merchandise sold with any of the Sony Universe Spider-Man related characters still goes straight to marvel
um isn't that the same?
Lol JapanPhil knows he has a problem in Japan and its good to see him admit it. But somehow he's got to stop the bleeding with Japanese devs and publishers. He can't keep having them outright skipping the xbox. Its a very unenviable task and I wish him the best.
It can work, but they need help and direction. This is why I still think built it from ground up first will help.Lol Japan
Lol MS still trying to make xbox brand matter in Japan
Also, lol japoonese devs

Spencer says Xbox are "going to be bold" with their decisions for the Series X
Heidi Nicholas4 hours ago
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer appeared on Gamertag Radio to take part in the show's 1,000th episode, and discussed the thinking behind the Seriex X reveal, as well as the company's hopes for a stronger Xbox presence in the Japanese market.
"The response has been great, but to be completely honest with you...it could have been a disaster”, he said, talking about Microsoft's surprise reveal of the Xbox Series X at last year's Game Awards. Nor was he a fan of the idea at first, it seems, when it was proposed to him. "The decision was actually really pushed forward by one of our marketing leads," he said, "and she’s awesome, and she just stood up in a room and she said, 'we should go do something bold, something we’ve never done before... let’s face it, we’re not in the market position we wanted to be in in this last generation- I don’t think we’re going to get to disrupt and grow our business just doing what we’ve always done'". It seems Microsoft are keeping that in mind as they move towards the launch of the Xbox Series X. "We’re trying to think about things in a different way," Spencer says; "we’re definitely not going to be meek. We’re going to be bold in what we’re trying to go do.”
Spencer also had a lot to say about his hopes for a stronger and more established presence for the Xbox overall, but especially in Japan. “When I got into this job, the thing I was seeing were third parties skipping Xbox One and not even shipping on that platform," he said. "There'll still be examples of that and every one of them causes me pain, but the number one thing I wanted to do when I started in this role was to get back on the ground a couple times a year playing with the studio heads, playing their games, and... making them know I had a commitment to their global success." He mentions that he was pleased with the number of Japanese published games they had at E3, adding, "I’ve been really proud of the way that we built a partnership with almost all the publishers there". Spencer elaborates on Xbox's successful partnerships in Japan, saying the biggest feedback he gets from his time over there is from the studio heads; "they say, 'the people on our studio love working with you guys. They just wish they saw more Xboxes in the stores around here'. You want to be working on a game and have the platform that it's going to be on, be seen in your home country. You want your friends to be able to play it".
Spencer seems keen to focus on building that Xbox presence in Japan, saying, "our market in Japan for Xbox is important to us." Sony and Nintendo are obviously well established over there, and Spencer notes this, adding, "I don’t know that we’re winning in Japan any time soon, but the position that we have in Japan today from a platform isn’t acceptable to me". To ensure they start out in a stronger position in Japan as soon as the Xbox Series X launches, Spencer says they're "going to do a much better job with this next upcoming launch", they're not going to wait for ten months before they launch in Japan as they did with the Xbox One, and they're planning on a big push to publicise their Game Pass and xCloud services. Spencer also seems hopeful for more first party content being developed in Japan. "I think the Japanese market is specifically important because of the creative community there, because of the gamer community there, and I want us, I want Xbox, to mean more there than it does today".
Overall, he seems enthusiastic about the potential of the Xbox Series X, and the wider possibilities of a more established Xbox presence in Japan. "It takes time," he said. "I’m still gonna see some things get announced that aren’t on our platform and I cringe every time that happens, but relative to four or five years ago, I feel good about our progress," he adds, concluding that Microsoft want "to continue to increase the relevance and importance of Xbox to people.”
They own the movie and live action Spiderman rights.
Let's hope the "bold" translates into aggressive pricing.

It kinda does but I didn't say it.That has nothing to do with why the game is exclusive
It kinda does but I didn't say it.
Ha, MS lose money?If the 12 TF number is true, I can’t see them coming in at less than $499....right? I don’t know enough about costs but even at that price it’s gotta be breaking even or losing money.
It HAS to be same price as PS5 at a minimum.If the 12 TF number is true, I can’t see them coming in at less than $499....right? I don’t know enough about costs but even at that price it’s gotta be breaking even or losing money.
Of course, most people have... anything special in mind my forum friend?yeah you got issues
I dunno about that but I can add Sony now owns the video game rights to Spiderman.It does not. Insomniac chose Spiderman.

Been playing DMC 5 and Resident Evil 2 recently, and the Japanese games are starting to catch up, imo.
