It is alot. But Battman, Hitman, lego Games exclusive to the Xbox seems like a not to bad business move. Do WB still have the Lord of the Rings licence? If so, pop that over to Obsidian for A LOTR RPG.
Is this confirmed?Those licenses aren't for sale though it's the studios, I would guess Mortal Kombat is the only one that comes with a developer purchase. Also purchasing them adds nothing to their portfolio because those games were all already coming to Xbox anyway, all it would do is prove Phil Spencer is a huge hypocrite.

So you don't know.WB owns DC comics but they aren't selling that they are selling their gaming division. Maybe they'll allow an exclusive time frame but that would cost them money long term, especially when MS is doing subscription stuff for first party. WB's value comes from being a multiplatform publisher that works with popular licenses.
They will be multiplatform, via Xcloud.Those licenses aren't for sale though it's the studios, I would guess Mortal Kombat is the only one that comes with a developer purchase. Also purchasing them adds nothing to their portfolio because those games were all already coming to Xbox anyway so all it does is take those games away from playstation owners and that would prove Phil Spencer is a huge hypocrite. The purchase of the entire WB group only makes sense if they keep games multiplatform, 4 billion for a publisher who's value is made up by customers who spend more money on other platforms that would be cut off makes no sense.
DunnoWhat is this “Pulse 3D” thing listed in their list of list?
So you don't know.
I think WB games which is on the market includes the GAME rights.
They will be multiplatform, via Xcloud.
If you don't get tge licenses then kind of pointless buying them.
It be stupid for anyone to buy them without getting those rights.So you don't know either and nowhere does it say that they are selling the rights to IP's that they own, it would be stupid for them to do that long term. They'd make far less money.
BruhThe console is hideous no matter what color it is. That thing standing is more of a dust magnet than any console I've ever seen.
It be stupid for anyone to buy them without getting those rights.
Rumour: Black and Red PS5 Console Spotted in Sony Marketing Material

I dunno.
But this could be the 2TB model.
They will have a double or higher option.There won't be a 2TB model, if they ever add extra storage it'll be double what's in the original, they went with that odd number for a reason. If you want to use a replacement 2TB it'll have to be something faster than the one that's included.
It doesn't block them tgough. That is tge whole point of Xcloud.Xcloud isn't multiplatform you still only pay Microsoft and it blocks out the largest player block of players who would buy these games which is PlayStation owners.
I don't see them selling the rights to Batman or any DC property to a platform holder, they can license those out to whoever they want and make more money long term that way by getting a piece of each sale for a game that can launch on up to 5 platforms (xb, PS, nintendo, Stadia, PC) The actual studios they are selling are good studios so there is value in having them under your umbrella but I don't know why any company would be interested in buying them all in bulk, that's a lot of new employees to take on, a lot more investment in new projects etc.
I know Sony has Spider-Man but there are other possible issues which are always denied but they do own the movie rights to that character and that could play a part in why they have it, we also don't know how many games that deal is for.
They will have a double or higher option.
Likely at or near launch.
External SSD's of this tech will be way 2 costly.
A 825gb SSD only option will not cut it especially the competition will not only have a bigger SSD but external options available.
Shawn Jelsic please investigate (ask your employer).What is this “Pulse 3D” thing listed in their list of list?
No it wouldn't, those are talented development houses for sure, I think it's crazy trying to sell them all as a bunch though. I know they want to just get money because there is value in that division but they'd probably find buyers faster if they sold each studio separately.
I honestly hope they don't get a buyer, those studios are doing just fine where they are and it's not like they are costing the company money it's just them trying to sell something of value to get money to put towards their large debt. It seems like a dumb move to me, AT&T wants to sell WB games for $4 billion to put towards a $200 billion debt, it's a not going to make a big impact and long term it keeps making money for them.
I doubt they want $4 billion just for the services of developers. Even if they had 2000 devs, you’d be paying $2 million for the services of each developer who could just walk out at the end of their contract. No way they asking that kind of money without licences included.
It's not just the talents they are likely buying the buildings they work in etc.
Where is the XSX picture?That thing is ugly as sin, lmao.
