Sucks and was inevitable, we already got stung with this in the UK, at least it's a much lower price increase than what Xbox did, but still crappy overall. Guess you can thank the orange overlord for this.
@n6, you're the biggest xbox zealot on this site with 1000 alts, so I guess you're right in saying most of the site is fanboys.
At least it's still cheaper than the Series X even with the rise, though it's still stupid all around, guess the stockpile ran dry.
Doesn't look like they copied Hellblade to me.
A 70% cut of minimal sales, on a dying console brand, where they are conditioned to gamepass, when all indications are that their 'next gen' device is a PC with an Xbox sticker on it as well.
I can understand live service to a degree, especially if it was F2P. SP tentpole releases would be a massive shot in the foot, I'll believe it only when I see it lol.
I detested the first game after being sold on it by a friend, I don't care how nice this might look the Pro, a big fat skip from me lol.
Actually having read this again, the articles are misleading, and the question was in context with multimedia partnerships like with namco and kodakawa, not abandoning PS consoles lol.
Yeah honestly, I read the headlines yesterday and jumped the gun myself, but loads of sites are taking it out of context, as if Sony is ready to dump their very successful PS hardware platform and store revenue along with it lol.
It was also in the context of their recent multimedia, entertainment partnerships and investments, like with Kadokawa and Namco.
Seek help.
Will be interesting to see how Helldivers does on Xbox, I get the PC side of things, but I don't understand if they want to release more games on a dying console who's fanbase has been conditioned to gamepass.
I'm still a bit baffled as to why Sony are doing this, I understand MS with how badly they've done the last 2 gens, but the last results from Playstation proves the brand is as strong as ever, what a weird timeline we're in lol.
Reaper calling anyone delusional is hilarious, pot kettle. Hopefully he enjoys his PC with an Xbox sticker on it 'next gen'.
The Switch 1 is a potato especially today, surely isn't that expensive to produce? Even with the tariff impact.
I'm a bit confused by the handheld stuff, surely they won't mandate a device with half the power of the base PS5 to play PS6 games? That would really require very significant compromises, don't want the mistakes of the Series S being repeated.
I think the current sales numbers of the switch 2 has basically continued to signal to nintendo that they can do whatever they want, unfortunately.
I really regret buying mine, Mario Kart World isn't as good as 8 imo and hasn't stuck with me, the 'upgrade' for mario party, as an enthusiastic is just a complete joke, it's largely been collecting dust the last few weeks, guess I'm just one of the suckers lol.
He also preceded that tweet a few hours before saying he'd he surprised to see tentpole releases arrive on Xbox, and shinobo hinted at live service games and some of the smaller, dormant licensed IPs recently.
I agree with your points, but I personally don't see what Sony has to gain by porting single player stuff to Xbox, given the position they're in, the smaller install base that's been conditioned to gamepass. Live service games I can kinda see makes mor...
That's nice, only had to spend 80 billion to get there over many years, so where are the profit numbers then?
Sure, nothing I said is wrong though. Where are the profit numbers?
Look forward to seeing profit numbers.
Otherwise I guess congrats on increasing revenue after increasing the price of gamepass, great job.
Congratulations on a 3rd party publisher for buying up and selling lots of multiplatform IPs on a console platform. Also congrats to Capcom, EA, Square and the likes for also doing what a 3rd party publisher does.
Jez coping and throating MS as usua loll. Also still no profit numbers from the xbox division, wonder why that may be. Console sales continue to collapse and thus gamepass isn't really growing all that much, but I'm sure MS will spin some more accounting t...
He'll just worship an expensive, much lower performing rog ally (xbox sticker included) instead.
