"We are more ready to try the untried when what we do is inconsequential. Hence the fact that many inventions had their birth as toys" Eric Hoffer

Since E3 of last year I have read so many comments that have already labeled Microsoft and/or Sony's motion controllers as failures; which leaves me saddened at the lack of scope that some peoples imagination's seem to be lacking. I guess it is the same old story that has permeated mankind for as long as there has been such a thing as mankind. Two cavemen sitting around both inventing the wheel, one round, and one square, thus the beginnings of a format war. A format war that was ended not by consumer preference, but by the creator of the round wheel curb-stomping the progenitor of the square format with said round wheel(pure speculation).
I realize a subset of people have always stood on the sidelines and ridiculed that which is foreign to them and beyond their scope of understanding. The Wright brothers,Henry Ford, A.G. Bell, and Edison were all visionary and their inventions changed the world, but the ideas and directions that spawned from those initial inventions have blossomed well beyond the scope of the original inventors; and have also revolutionized the way many humans live and communicate. However,I am not comparing Natal/Move to the life changing inventions that came before it but to simply dismiss the technologies as mere knock-offs of other technologies or to diminish the potential the two devices have to advance gaming into areas of interaction that heretofore do not exist just leaves me scratching my head in bewilderment.
If you are reading this then please let me know what side of the technology fence you stand on. I personally give the nod to Natal for the possibility of creating new interactive experiences, but I also think Move is going to shine in its own right. The potential is only limited by the scope of the imaginations of those creating for, and those playing with Natal and Move. I hope they both leave an indelible mark on gaming for years to come.
Total sales for Nioh 3 have surpassed one million units worldwide, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team NINJA announced. It reached the one million mark faster than any previous Nioh game.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's next console, the PS6, will not be digital only, according to former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden.
Not trying to be rude, but I think Layden has absolutely nothing to do with Sony for almost a decade at this point.
I don't even know why people doubt its gonna support discs too. Of course it will. Once Sony realized they could sell it as an add on, the whole conversation is moot at this point. Because Money. I doubt they will ever stop supporting disc.
And their competition has no such add-on for their digital consoles, meaning if you got the cheap one for christmas, there's no hope of upgrading it to be able to play your old games. I'll gladly take the $100 add-on approach to that.
If this gen is any indication there will totally be a digital only PS5 model. Let's not kid ourselves here. There's going to be 2 SKU's again.
I would be fine with a BD drive add-on they started with the slim if it means more power for a more affordable price. better yet, if they allow it to use the PS5 BD add-on by default. it's not like the games run from the disc anyway, and it's totally doable. would be a huge win-win situation for both Sony and gamers
Vertex Zero has announced Silent Planet will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S along with the previously announced PC release.
