I said years ago that two things will happen in gaming.
1) Microsoft will eventually go back to their roots and become a software company and get out of the hardware business.
2) Game tech will become so expensive that MS and Sony will eventually create a console together splitting the costs and make more money through software. Third party developers pay a royalty or licensing fee and while they make money off in-house studios. Sony is better at hardware and MS is better t...
I bought it I like the game, but they released this at a bad time. This reminds me of TitanFall. Great game that released when bigger titles overshadowed it. Many friends I know are choosing to buy BF6 over this because of the 1 week window between the two games. They choose a MP over single player game for obvious reasons if you could only afford 1 title. I pre-ordered both, but I understand the situation. The game will pick up sales later especially during black friday, but I know why it ha...
I have both and I just canceled my xbox Ultimate subscription and picked up PS+. Most gamers cant pay both so they choose which one is a better buy. Xbox just made that decision easier
I love games to death and never pledged allegiance to a manufacturer even though I primarily played xbox. After these few months of totally disrespecting gamers with price hikes on consoles, subscriptions, and an overpriced handheld...I am so over Microsoft gaming division at this point. This is not only pushing players to subscribe to PS+, but ultimately lure console gamers to PC. They included CoD in the ultimate gamepass along with EA Play and Ubisoft+ but you still can't justify $360 ...
They are manufactured in Japan not China. Just saying...
Of course the price will lower. No electronic company wants those units sitting on shelves. Companies know that the lower the cost the easier it is to sell. Why do you think Costco removed it. They knew it would sit on their shelves and that is not cost productive. Keep those shelves moving product. Besides they are not going to pay tariffs for a product they won't get a return on
MS has NO insulation from tariffs. They are importing from China, period. They pay the tariff just like everyone else. The company that is based here gets tax breaks, but that's it. MS is a software company, please remember that.
MS is an American company that manufactures in products in china. Sony manufactures the Playstation in Japan.
"says FORMER blizzard president" is enough for me to question his remark. Notice that it only went up in the united states. Also, I work in auto industry and we use a lot of Milwaukee products. Those prices increased and we can't get our tools repaired because the parts are coming from china
They have to pay tariffs on the items. The items will sit there because they are too expensive. They will not see a return. It's a waste of space and money.
They have to pay the tariffs on it. That means that they have to mark it up. It's just not cost effective especially if the margins aren't that great. Costco pays their employees good wages and benefits so they need a good profit margin
It's only in the U.S. which means it's tariff-based. If you dont have a console yet, you might as well buy used or wait until next gen.
future tech armor and various colored skins are cool but once you start licensing characters, music artists, movie actors, and comic book heroes we have a problem.
Here we go with the dumb "IT'S MS FAULT" crap. Just because MS owns a company doesn't mean Activision is not making CoD decisions anymore. Do you blame Take Two for decisions that 2K or Rockstar make...no
Butcher Bay was revolutionary
crying about UE5 when you can't write code or make your own game is diabolical. Lol. Do you wake up and cry first or do wait until after you brush your teeth?
you are argument sounds like something a MAGA person would say. You're saying that gamepass is bad because they release new games on day 1 and you like what sony is doing by NOT releasing games on day 1 and charging you $160 a year for old releases? Pretty accepting bullsh-t because you believe in the brand and ideology
Yeah that's funny since 6 titles populate PS Top 10 list
The game is done. It's getting rid of the bugs and making sure it's properly optimized for all platforms that's key. They have anticipate what players are going to do and go in the game, so making sure you don't fall through the map or stuck between 2 rocks is key LOL
When they were redoing this franchise to make an amazing MP experience, did you think they would've put the same effort in to the 7 hour SP experience?
