Interestingly, just a few days prior to that interview, former-IGN and Kinda Funny personality Colin Moriarty, a man with plenty of sources within PlayStation, revealed that Sony and Microsoft had previously discussed the possibility of Master Chief Collection making its way to PS4.
There's a chance that any Xbox game moving platforms would require Xbox Live (that "connected ecosystem" referenced above), and Sony is unlikely to let that happen. Xbox Live has come to Switch, helping allow players to play with their friends in games like Minecraft - itself a Microsoft-owned property (albeit one that was previously found on other platforms before it was purchased). "There aren’t other systems where we can go do that today." But ensuring that you have a connected ecosystem with the players, where people’s save game and their state and their friends list and their entitlements move seamlessly from every ecosystem-from every device-that they want to play on is critical," he told Stephen Totilo. "The games themselves are critically important to players and people playing. In an interview with Kotaku last year, Spencer was pressed on the possibility of games like Halo coming to PlayStation or even Switch consoles. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has long touted the benefits of cross-play, and has stated that Microsoft thinks of Xbox as a platform, not a console - potentially paving the way for Xbox first-party games jumping to rival systems - like the PlayStation 4 or 5. The short answer is "maybe" - but the longer answer is much more interesting, and could make for a fascinating next generation of consoles. Could Halo Infinite come to PlayStation consoles? In fact, if you take away Halo 5: Guardians, the only games from the franchise in this console generation have been Master Chief Collection (which launched in a pitiful state), and the subsequent games that have been added to it - Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. Built on an entirely new engine, the Slipspace engine, the initial reveal trailer revealed a stunning new ringworld, while E3 2019's brief in-game trailer reintroduced us to the legendary Spartan, Master Chief. The legendary shooter franchise has been absent since 2015's divisive Halo: Guardians, with early reports suggesting Infinite could be a soft-reboot of sorts for the franchise. Is there a chance that Halo could make the move to another system when Halo Infinite launches this year? At this point, there seems to be little anyone can do to disrupt the current standings.Xbox has had a rough generation, with very few exclusives to look forward to for fans of Microsoft's console. It's important to remember that Xbox One is still doing fine, just not when you compare it to PS4.
#NEW HALO GAME PS4 INSTALL#
Playstation Vr is a bit of a wild card, but there's nothing like a solid install base to drive adoption of new technology. We're bound to see this trend continue into the winter: not only does Sony tend to win the month's where there isn't as much going on, the company gets its own big-deal exclusive in the form of Uncharted 4 in March, along with Ratchet and Clank and the eventual arrival of No Man's Sky.
#NEW HALO GAME PS4 PS4#
I thought that Microsoft had a chance of taking this month, but I can't say I'm terribly surprised: modern console games are defined by multi-platform releases, and PS4 has enough momentum so as to be first in most prospective consumer's minds. Microsoft had, from a content point of view, an incredibly strong fall, but those exclusive games were more or less overshadowed by heavy hitters like Fallout 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Star Wars: Battlefront, the last two of which came with PS4 timed DLC exclusivity and an exclusive marketing marketing deal, respectively.
It's an especially impressive showing when you consider the relative dearth of exclusive content for PS4 up against the Xbox One's impressive lineup headlined by Halo 5: Guardians and Rise of The Tomb Raider.
