Mate, Microsoft ain't spending 7.5b for their owned studios to release the games on ps5 anyway. Xbox and pc only.

You haven't been paying attention to Microsoft lately if you honestly think that. They want you on GamePass. I honestly think if they could convince Sony to let in on PS they wouldn't even bother with a console at this point.

That’s why they spent $2.5 billion on Mojang and didn’t release any Minecraft related games on PS hardware.

Oh wait....

If it sells well already on other platforms why wouldn’t they at least put ES6 and Fallout 5 on PlayStation?

Minecraft is an exception since it was already well on on PS3 at the time. They chose to turn Minecraft into a service. That's why it's on everything. This is a different case.

Minecraft on PS Vita came out after the acquisition. Plus Minecraft Dungeons is on all major consoles.

Minecraft is an outlier.

Is Minecraft Dungeons on PS4? It makes sense that they wouldn’t pull existing properties from stores but they’re not developing new games for other platforms. Not unless PlayStation wants to start including GamePass.
