Apple needs to jump on this with an exclusive deal. Android runs games like sh** anyway.
Bud, Sony isn't doing any exclusive deals with Apple or anyone else. Exclusivity deals would only hinder Sony's efforts. Sony wants to get their mobile/clould/PC gaming initiatives running to catch up with Microsoft. They got caught flat-footed with MS's Game Pass. Xbox Game Pass is currently handing Sony's equivalent Playstation Now service it's ass in a hat.
Fortunately, it's early in the life of Game Pass and Sony has time to catch up... if they execute properly. Executing properly means getting their IP in front of the most people possible. To get their IP in front of the most people possible they have to get PS Now in a better state... and quick.
Apple should make an exclusive deal with Sony. Especially since Japan hates knockoff iPhones/knockoff iPads.
Do you have reading comprehension issues? Whatever you are asking for - CloudTalkin explained why it WON'T happen and why it is NOT in the interests of Sony to do that. The likelihood of what you are asking for to happen is very slim.
Yes because CloudTalkin is the CEO of Sony. Dumb ass.
Apple should make an exclusive deal with Sony and their game catalog.
Apple can’t make exclusive deals with a company that isn’t interested in an exclusive deal.
Apple SHOULD make an exclusive deal. I mean everything has its price. Even if it’s a brutal one-year exclusive “window” like companies are doing nowadays. Like Nintendo did but an actual deal to hold the exclusivity longer. Android is just sh** for gaming.
I appreciate the mature reply but this is again, a hope not a FACT of any sort. It just seems weird that random forum users are speaking for Sony but my hope isn’t welcome. This is no different from all the Apple should acquire Nintendo posts. Sounds nice and is POSSIBLE but in the end it’s less likely. Except this is 100x more likely.
A hostile takeover is possible. A hostile exclusive contract is not (unless you count blackmail I suppose).
If they are allowed to put games on that require a controller, they can port a lot of games. I could see some of the more social/creative games being a good fit like the ones from Media Molecule:

The iPad plus Pencil would probably work well for Dreams and they should be able to run on M1-Macs too.
All their Playstation portable games would be suitable, Uncharted titles, Syphon Filter:
