Microsoft literally did this with the release of Forza 6. It had a car engine start up sound when turning it on.

Spworts licensing is weird, like how EA is mandated by FIFA to release a FIFA game on every console that comes out at least once before they're allowed to abandon development, although they're able to milk some further releases with legacy editions running on the same engine, just with team updates.

MLB's circumstances are a bit weirder still since there's demonstrably limited interest in MLB games, since Baseball is pretty much only followed at all in Canada, the US and Japan, and even then at least in the former two cases interest is pretty limited compared to basically all the other sports that EA puts out a game for. Even in baseball-mad Japan they only get the MLB game in English. Like, it gets an official Japan region release, but the game remains English-only. The Pro Yakkyu series is the Japanese baseball game. So we don't know the specifics but I could see MLB really wanting to have their only game on more consoles and asking Sony nicely in the form of a big cheque for a little porting please.

And yet Madden, the game for a sport that pretty much only the US cares about, is one of the most profitable franchises in gaming. MLB is weird more so because of image rights - the players union for baseball has an opt out on image rights thanks to a lawsuit brought by Barry Bonds years ago (unlike the NFL where the league has the right to sell ALL the players images in exchange for one big payout to the players, negotiated by the Union) and that makes it difficult to get the rights to ALL of the major league players at a reasonable price. NCAA sports are in the same boat - the NCAA lost the battle to control players image rights completely; courts ruled that players own their own image as the weird case law around collegiate athletics makes it illegal for the NCAA to try to force any kind of image rights (but allows the players to go unpaid, so not much of a win). No NCAA games ever since.

I guest the reason for this is some marketing study showing .that people are more willing to buy Something 1 than Something 6, but is still stupid and defy common sense because is a bad idea that will cost the company a lot of sales because will make hard for people to find and buy the product. drat idiots.

quote:

In Japan, it’s also being called “Xbox Sex” as well as another nickname, Shiri X (尻X) or “Butt X.”

The Xbox has long had naming issues in Japan. The letter “X” in Japan is batsu, means “no,” “no good,” “impossible,” “bad,” or even “futile.” The word batsu can also mean “punishment.”

The Xbox has also been somewhat derisively referred to as “hako” (箱) or “box.”

In Japanese, Xbox Series X is Xbox シリーズX (shiriizu X). But Xbox X said phonetically in Japanese that is エックスボックスエックス (ekkusu bokkusu ekkusu), which sounds kind of like “Xbox Sex” to Japanese ears.

I get that they want to avoid calling it xbox 4 because it just sounds behind the ps5, but there has to be a better way, like xbox elite or pro or something?

They could've even said that the One X was the 4th Xbox and just called the new one Xbox 5. Kind of like how they said Windows 8.1 was the 9th Windows, allowing them to skip to W10.
