"Someone trying to claim there would be no MP paywall on Xbox is rather golden. Given MS JUST upped their Xbox Live/Gamepass pricing."

For real...

This whole thing seems fake to me, Microsoft themselves said 2028 in court, though they also said they wouldn't raise prices because of CoD, so nothing they say even in court is honest so who knows.

ROFL

It's hilarious that you actually said "You do this to yourself, always remember this." I am honestly laughing!

Too funny!

What's your favorite game? I bet it's Baldur's Gate 3!

Checkerboard hardware upscaling on PS4 Pro was two years before DLSS.

Xbox console profit down by 42%
Switch console profit down by 46%
Playstation console profit down by 21%

You don't even know what we're talking about, those %'s are not profit.

Microsoft didn't even report profit, they report revenue which allows them to spout big numbers even when xbox is running at a loss. And that's on top of the deceptive nature in which they hide the costs for example the costs of acquiring ABK w...

"Instead of building a forward thinking consoles"

This console has parts from RDNA 4 which isn't even released yet, and PSSR is likely to be a big improvement over what upscaling is currently available on consoles.

And PS4 Pro was the first device to use hardware upscaling, it was 2 years before DLSS 4 years ahead of FSR. PS4 Pro was delivering nearly identical performance to xbone x that was reportedly 40% faster.

You made price commentary so I replied with what a reliable leaker had said about the price.

First off it will benefit games natively that use dynamic resolution scaling or drop framerates.

Second, No Mans Sky already leaked Pro settings that's a decade old game and it already supports it, so it's safe to say a lot of games will support it.

Third, most of Sony's developers haven't even shown their games, clearly those studios will be making games that support the Pro.

And finally, yes, GTA6 is going to be a huge...

But you are not looking at the whole picture.

In 2023 PS5 sold over 20m consoles the most consoles they sold in a single year since PS2. And what they are selling today is on par with what the PS4 was selling at this point in the generation.

Xbox is down 42% compared to a year in which they were down 25% compared to 2022, and Xbox is down significantly from Xbone which also sold less than the 360.

The early rumors stated that it would be able to work on top of games similar to how anti-aliasing can be run at the hardware level and added to games that don't natively support it or additive.

However, recently I haven't heard much about that, but I also haven't been looking for rumors.

We'll probably know soon though.

I am not saying what I think the price will be, but to be fair it has been rumored multiple times it will be $500 and that the PS5 Slim will get a price reduction like what happened with the PS4 Pro. This generation has been different in many ways however.

This is one of the rumors.

This is absolutely doomed.

If PlayStation can't get 50% of it's owners to leave PS4 how is rushing out a new console going to help them, especially when the last two generation they claimed to have the more powerful consoles and it didn't help them. Even their own user base has overwhelmingly chosen the less powerful Series S. In 2026 PS4 will still be getting more games than any xbox.

And at a time when publishers are questioning even sup...

You should swap the word gaming with a dollar cost.

"So 1440p 165fps on a $3000 pc?"

550d ago 1 agree2 disagreeView comment

This is misleading.

The amount of games that release digital only increases so it is always skewed towards digital.

Sony themselves have reported their own games (Spider-Man God of War ect.) which have physical releases still sell more than half physically.

Of course you tried to put a negative spin on it.

Sales are down but that is compared to a near record setting quarter in 2023, they are still matching pace with the PS4.

Contrast that with xbox whose sales are down (over 40%) when compared to 2023 where they were also down (over 20%) compared to 2022, and are selling significantly less than their previous console.

And as for the other financials, PlayStation is increasing its financial...

Let me be honest with you. PlayStation doesn't do big shows in EU and US because Microsoft is paying WAY higher than market value to get the big publishers on their stage with agreements to keep them off other stages.. Microsoft is paying as multiple times the rate what they paid back in the E3 days even accounting for increases in industry costs.

This is another reason why I think the FTC shouldn't be fighting to block ABK, they should be fighting to force Microso...
