I've read articles that separate studios could port the game over to other systems.

Although they will sell more units does that translate into much larger profits?


I'm sure they will experience an uptick, but baseball is probably the 3rd most popular sport.


Many baseball fans bought a playstation system to play. How many fans will now purchase on their preferred system? Sony would then have to pay royalties to Microsoft and/or Nintendo cutting into the profit. We do not know what the liscence cost to renew. All of those factors will play into the bottom line increase.


The MLB Show team has grown, but it appears most of the new devs have been hired to work on DD. I don't see that changing.

baseball video games may be 4th even in America, behind both styles of football, American and soccer, and behind basketball.

I was considering picking up a PS4 just to play The Show since XB1 doesn't have a baseball game. Might have to wait and see now.

No. I buy all of the consoles so I couldn't care less. I do hope that Nintendo releases a switch Pro because being able to play The Show anywhere I want to takes me back to the PSP Vita days. A more powerful Switch would make it comparable to the new consoles coming out next year. It's a great thing overall that you'll be able to play the best baseball game no matter which system you have or prefer.
