The Xbox Onesie

No. It isn't. There is absolutely no way that is even remotely true.

And remember, I'm in the market you are talking and playing the game you are talking about.

Last year's Fifa is still selling well in Europe
 
Fifa is huge in the euros this is absolutely true.
Xbox not being as popular of a brand still had solid Fifa sales and this is likely due to them having the marketing rights.

Nope. FIFA comes with both consoles in bundles. And it has done since forever. Literally nobody buys a console for FIFA. Simple as that. I've played it on PlayStation, PC and Xbox over the years. Same as most people I know. It makes absolutely no difference if MS or Sony market it. People who buy it every year are going to buy it every year.

So no, it is in no way a blow to MS that Sony has a marketing deal with it.

I don't agree with this.
 
Phil already said. He's putting that money into ip they own

Generally the Scorpio versions of games being more definitive should be quite disruptive in itself.

Well, we know that console gamers always say they want the BEST performing and BEST looking games, so really it's a no brainer. If they don't buy a Scorpio, and they prefer gaming on console, then they are SOL.
 
We will see how things go if Sony keeps the marketing rights the next few years.

You honestly think that people will stop playing FIFA on Xbox because Sony have a marketing deal? Do you have any idea how idiotic that sounds? MS has marketing for a few years and did it stop people playing on PS? Of course not.
 
Once again... exclusive deals on 3rd party games suck and is a big middle finger from the publisher to the gamer.

No I expect IF Sony keeps the marketing rights for the next few years a drop off in sales.
It didn't stop people from buying on PS because how popular PS is.

So Xbox owners are going to stop buying it because both games are now exactly the same......
 
PS is more popular so sales will continue to be high regardless..its not hard really.

MS needs the deal more and will be affected more.

Most games see similar sales on both consoles anyways even the ones with Sony deals. Sony's sold more consoles but MP titles don't see a big difference in sales between platforms.
 
Best is subjective though.

Hmmm... Let's say for example Battlefront 2 is native 4K/60fps, it actually pretty much has been confirmed at this point by Jez from Windows Central and on PS4 Pro it's checkerboard 4K and I think that's likely. At that point the is only one definitive version and I don't think it could be called subjective anymore. Not in terms of visuals and very likely performance too.

If you prefer a DS4 over the Xbox pad for example , that's another story.

Its subjective.
Controller,exclusive content,online service/UI,friends,preferring more active players.
 
omg just reading over at gaf on FIFA, it's like the game is now better because of PS marketing deal.
 
There's a rumor going around that MS wanted out of the Fifa deal after seeing the cover:
