I have to agree, Switch sells great for now, but I don't see it having the legs PS4 does, so the two might go back and forth on top of sales for a while.
COD won't be relevant in 10 years... You can only regurgitate the same old game so many times.
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
@madlad your online cost argument is null due to the number of free games you get in exchange for paying for these online services, which more than offsets the cost of the service.
Let's read what the Washington Examiner article they are sourcing this info from and see what it has to say...
"Top products purchased on the shopping holiday included the Xbox Series X, toys for a children's cartoon character called "Bluey," Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, drones, and MacBook computers. Most shoppers bought an average of two to three items per purchase. "
I don't see anything there that says Xbox outsold...
They're telling gamers that getting a PS5 is necessary if they don't want to drop $800-1200 on a system powerful enough to run it (slightly) better than a PS5 would (and it would still lack the HDD speed, 3D audio, and haptic feedback).
Tell everyone you couldn't pick up on all the grammar and spelling errors without telling everyone you couldn't pick up on all the grammar and spelling errors...
If they update the hit games like re7, astrobot, wipeout, no man's sky, etc.... I'd consider it just to get to play all those great games with proper tracking.
I'll give them a pass if wipeout for psvr gets ported. And astrobot. More astro vr is a must.
And if Sony were to make a shooter that combined the vehicle combat of Warhawk with the shooter and tactical combat of SOCOM and the scale of MAG, they could dethrone COD... But they seem averse to the shooter crowd. It's as if they have no faith in their fps talent, despite their successes over the years.
Sony has never bought a publisher, sony built its own catalogue of studios and became its own publisher. Sony has never bought a dev that once made games multiplatform just so those games could be exclusive to its platforms.
@jeromeface they don't have to, there's years of experience, since the PS3 era, to go by. Every time a firmware gets cracked, a patch is never far off.
The chip shortage is coming to an end... also part of why GPU prices are plummeting.
Considering PCs do not have hardware decompression, with that speed boost factored in, you still can't buy a hard drive that matches PS5's speed for a PC.
Microsoft is inching towards not having a need to sell hardware anymore, and just becoming a gaming service. I called it years ago. Look at how much they make (lose) on hardware vs. their services, which are the only profitable part of the Xbox division.
That said, it's also the beginning of the end of dedicated consoles... I still see it taking another 10 years or so, but before long all these game publishers will just be rental services, and you'll be able to play...
Unnecessary overkill. No display can hit it, and our eyes can't see it.
Agreed... Mardio with a bland American accent doesn't fit the character at all.
They could be doing MAG, Siphon Filter, SOCOM, Motorstorm, Driveclub, Warhawk, so much gold to dig through.
Let's not bring up the guy who gave Russians top secret intel and had the records of what was said during his meetings with them destroyed, then stole top secret nuclear secrets that he did god knows what with... his name needs to be left out of this (and everything else).
Sony acquires studios, Microsoft acquires entire publishers, then cries (while trying to acquire another publisher) that Sony can only compete by "making us smaller".
