Trying to squeeze in some game time around work and family is tough

My next gen predictions

1: The next xbox will have kinect built in which will allow the console to navigate the house with the built in wheels it comes with, Microsoft will all so offer the option of "Kinect hoover" which will come packaged with a kids game called "Kinect chores". This will leave parents very happy until they realise you need an Xbox platinum subscription to access the wheels and hoover. Microsoft will also introduce a paid button service, only the d-pad and one analogue stick will be usable out of the box. A season pass will be available to unlock the rest of the buttons for 12 months. Due to Sony buying every publisher in the world Microsoft only have one game available at launch, Halo 5. Halo 6 will release two years later with Microsoft plugging the gap with endless DLC including Master Chief vs Master Chief extreme. Call of Duty will no longer be produced after EA threatened Activision with nuclear war after they took over Iran in 2013.

2: Sony starts off the next gen by purchasing every developer in the world and puts them all to work on GT6 so it will be ready in time for the 2016 Olympic games, where GT6 will be the main sponsor of the 100 metre Veyron sprint even though its still a standard car. In the mean time Sony concentrates on having 35 exclusive games a year, including two killzone games every 6 months and a God of War game every week free through Playstation plus minus plus negative. With Sony buying Epic games Gears of War is now a Playstation exclusive and now has Sly cooper as the main character, along with Ratchet and Clank. This causes outrage with the fans, causing Sony to include Marcus Fenix as a DLC character. Sony's capture of EA also signals the attempt at world domination by Sony when all PS4's become self aware on the 23rd of October 2014. People soon discover that the Blu-ray disc drives are actually weapons of mass destruction, capable of levelling whole cities by the press of the triangle button of death. Sony's control of the earth means Microsoft live in secrecy at the north pole and the next Xbox will only be available at underground markets where they also sell HD-DVD drives for people who's lives have been destroyed by the the Blu-ray.

3: Nintendo decide to pull out of the console race after Mario is caught in bed with Luigi losing his squeaky clean image, he claims he was set up by Sonic the hedgehog. Which becomes believable in 2015 when Sonic 306 comes out exclusively on Sony's console. The Wii U is banished to the moon and is never seen again, but the wii is still used to showcase how good the Move really is.

4: The biggest shock next gen is............................ ........................Nathan Drake is finally outed as a transsexual, previous name Lara Croft. He completely denies the allegations, but is seen trying on his old outfits during Celebrity game characters on ice. In which he loses a close final to kratos, who is the publics favourite after he slays three of the judges for giving hem less than perfect scores.

Just my attempt at humour, hope you like it :)

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher6h ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.
