    Looks like it’s gonna be similar to the initial PS4 scarcities. Definitely want one but now idk when that’s gonna happen

    I'm actually quite happy about this. My heart says I want one now, now, now. But my head says wait 6-18 months. At least now my head is being forced to win!

    Pre-ordered PS5, the standard one with the disc drive. Gonna assume nobody here has pre-ordered the Xbox because pre-orders don't open until the 22nd.

    Bethesda retains the right to self-publish under this deal and games will still come to other consoles on a “case by case basis”

    the only time mS has ever allowed their software on playstation hardware was minecraft. In my opinion this "case by case basis" is 100% only referring to the Switch.

    I could see maybe Doom and Wolfenstein going exclusive, maybe even Fallout at a push, but there’s absolutely no universe in which Elder Scrolls 6 doesn’t come to every platform in existence

    I disagree wholeheartedly, but I would love to be wrong about this. We will just have to wait and see.

    FYI, 6 years after release Skyrim sold 30 MILLION copies.
