Can you name one console with a $500 price tag that's been a success? 3DO, PS3, or Xbox1? One company went bankrupt, another almost did as they lost 8 billion in its first 5 years on the market, and the latter lost all the market share it previously gained the prior gen when most AAA 3rd party publishers were predicting it to WIN the current gen.
A series of $500 consoles would cause the collapse of console gaming. Consoles are, have been, and will always be about comp...
don't worry. The Switch is a portable, not a console. The WiiU was Nintendo's last console. Don't be persuaded by their moronic PR. If you like Nintendo and their IPs this is a no-brainer. You won't be disppointed. It's a great little successor to their portable line. They just couldn't sell it as that because the 3DS is still selling but the WiiU is dead. So yeah, with 2 products in the same field they've dominated the past 20 years, Nintendo is back to profitabil...
There's no sharp decline, a small YOY drop for sure. What you smokin? Iphone is still selling more than any single competitor's device. 40 million in a 3 month span (1st quarter of 2017). But yeah if you wanna factor in ALL android phones vs. Apple......lol

Ha be careful Red they're starting to cannibalize their own fanbase. But I'm with you 100% about letting the IP rest. The campaign for 5 was god awful. It's like JJ Abrams is running 343 and wants to drive everything great about the original trilogy, the mythos, into the ground. The only thing they did I like was expand Lt. Buck's role. Maybe with the time off, they can resurrect the SP (Im trying my damnedest not to reveal any spoilers). The MP is fine but new hardware will d...
@ Gumby - Just for shits n giggles, I cross checked both articles, and there's no one shitting on the Switch port of Doom and coming in here denigrating the X1 and downplaying the differences. Just like most fantards you see what you want to see. Are there Ponies in each article arguing with other fanboys over fanboy stuff? You betcha. The hypocrisy you suggest? Not in the slightest. In fact the only poster I see in both articles is a xbox fanboy, Woolly
so now we're comparing 9th gen sales to 8th gen? WiiU is a commercial flop. At 15 million and stagnating, XB1 is already ahead 2:1. Thanks in part to the X, One will gradually end up between 50-60 million by 2020. PS5 and nXtBox may not sell more than the Switch but it's way too early to say. However, there is no way Nintendo will outsell MS THIS gen. Nintendo has flopped 3 of the last 4 console generations. They ain't getting a mulligan from me. Hell I wouldn't even call th...
no neon it isn't. That's the problem. It's literally the worst Rockstar game they've published; a real borefest. It sold well but didn't recoup the cost to buy it from Sony. Hence the remaster...
umm no picket fence is built with concrete slabs. What the hell are you going on about? I can safely assume you've never installed one as you simply use a post hole digger and drop em in 24-36" holes, depending on the size. You don't waste concrete on a PICKET fence. As Chris Carter would say "C'mon man"
Kiwi - "why did people get the PS4 Pro then". Pretty simple - best place to play SONY exclusives. Best play to play multiplats - PC. Unfortunately, best place to play MS exclusives - PC
I haven't seen or talked to anyone that bought a Pro because it was the best place to play multiplats.
amigo make sure Nioh is somehow played by you this gen. If you like souls games, this one is fantastic. The Diablo style loot system makes the game always seem fresh as every corner you turn there's a kick ass weapon or armor waiting for you. One of the few games where I bought the season pass, it's my GotY of 2017. Yes even over Horizon and Zelda and P5
physical, wait for the digital numbers. I'm serious too. Nintendo struggles in the digital space and it obviously plays a huge part in their reluctance to embrace the online arena. Last December I looked into the numbers and was flabbergasted by that aforementioned fact. I still think the PS4 version will be outsold by its 3DS counterpart in Japan, but it will be slaughterhouse digitally for PSN
wouldn't shock me to see a 90/10 split of digital revenue in favor of PS4 over the 3DS version of DQ11. I remember last December when according to Famitsu FF15 sold 90k copies digitally (in Japan). That figure alone was more than every piece of Nintendo software sold combined. Japanese Nintendo fans sure love their physical versions and most likely explains Nintendo's ambivalence about online gaming in general.
you call this the dumbest shit ever yet it triggered you enough to post 3 times on this article. Someone needs to grow up and not worry about what little fanboys say, lest you look like one of them little fanboys eh?
Too bad ppl can't realize why resolutiongate was an issue in the 1st place.
COD Black Ops 2 released in 2012 on the 360 and PS3. The 360 had a native rez of 704p. The PS3 version was 640p. Both were then upscaled to 720p. The number 1, biggest selling IP of the 7th gen due to its controversial marketing DLC deal featured a better framerate with a slightly higher resolution on MS' little black box. MS was smart to sign the deal as it provided a huge boon for the 360...
Ha halfway through your post I started thinking Nioh. That one stage fighting the giant water demon, I died like 100 times drowning. Then, when I wasted a special guardian summons (anytime fighting a boss) and had to kill myself a second time and sit through that extra cutscene before the retry button, grrrrrrr..........Put it this way I love a good challenge in my games, but that section felt like work
no way. In simple terms, 360 Kinect launch > X1 launch. Like it or not the peripheral was responsible for the explosive growth of the 360 during the second half of its lifecycle. In fact the ONLY time MS has ever outsold Sony was 2011 with the aid of 360 kinect themed bundles.
From here on out you'll see the gap widen (even with 1X's launch). I know I know a 4K console is way more appealing than a motion camera peripheral. But remember too MS spent almost $425 m...
but it isn't though. That's the problem. At the end of the day, it's still tethered to the X1. It's still tethered to the 8th gen. They needed to remove that shackle. MS has been supporting dual platforms since 2013 so why stop now?
you're in luck then. You can buy both on Steam and neither are resource hogs. I think Ori is currently $10 bucks on sale. Definitely worth a go at that price. I'm actually going to reward MS and give them an incentive to fund more types of these new IPs by buying Cuphead from the Marketplace come September.
"but nothing really noticeable". Completely disagree. I set up my 1080p sammy smart set right next to my 4K one when a co-worker came over to play killing floor 2 one night. Taking into account HDR as well the differences were night and day. To each his own I guess. I personally think it goes like this for me: 720p>480p, 4K>1080p, 1080p>720p. There was a massive jump from the 6th to 7th gen in the fidelity of games. This 8th gen hasn't had the wow factor as we've s...
"not inflate it with the world". That might be the dumbest statement I ever read here in 10 years. Maybe you should ask the chaps in Redmond why they don't compete with Sony and Nintendo in more territories. You might not like the answer though. Now total sales don't matter, just the UK and the US? Gotcha!!
