What? Does this make sense? And who ‘liked’ this? Whether is was announced 400 years in advance or 4 hours in advance, the development time is the development time…. It’s still a wait for them… how does that change based on announcement? Even for the public, no one was under the illusion that ES6 was not coming at some point, the wait is the same…. Did you think this through?
Lightning, honestly, just start coming here less. This site is now filled with a new generation of hardcore Sony fanatics that claim to be impartial but can find no fault in anything Sony ever does. Sony can slap their moms and they’d chastise dear mom for being too slappable lol I’ve been coming here for maybe 15 years and this is the worst it’s ever been. I mostly find news elsewhere now
Man….. N4G has really turned into an echo chamber of Sony fanboys. This deal should be scrutinized, it’s massive, but anyone who doesn’t see what Sony is trying to do here and thinks it’s about protecting consumer choice is disconnected from reality. Their preference is to not have to compete with a -$20 per month subscription over a $70 outright purchase. Sad days man
What a monumental loss, truly a one of a kind talent… rest in peace…
This was my favorite Xbox until the Series X. Still remember soft-modding and MS taking bigger risks back then trying to find their footing. Was a good time
But why did you fix it? That’s the existential question to ask yourself lol
Comment of the year lol
It is a known fact that you are a Sony fanatic lol these days I just come here for laughs
Lol I’m waiting to see the YoY decline article like they published for Xbox…
@jznrpg false…. Depending on what you wanted to do as a dev early on during the 360 gen, you had to account for a large part of the install base that had no HDD at all. This was a step back from even the original Xbox gen. That said, they were still able to operate successfully within those constraints. Having a HDD is just as, if not more, significant than having extra silicon power. Don’t believe me? Go down the list of games that don’t require a storage device today
Lol they don’t care, they’ll just add another qualifier to tell you Xbox sucks more today than ever.
I know the joke is that the games are always coming and wait until next E3 and so on but….. seriously….. seems like post 2022 there will never be another Xbox drought. Guess we’ll see. I primarily lived off Sony exclusives this year while playing Elden Ring and Cyberpunk on Series X
Nice, hopefully this all adds up for them. Dedicate yourself to the brand and you will have gain traction. These ain’t the days of Steve Ballmer anymore.
@FGHFGHFGH, huh? No… since when does an error equate to not being able to do something? We’ve seen Xbox compete before and we’re seeing it again now. I think that folks that are staking their lives on the failure of Xbox are in for a bad gen lol Get both consoles if you can and just be happy. I love that my backlog right now is FH5 and Ghost of Tsushima
@ TheColbertinator, appreciate the response. I agree with you that they could do all those things. The issue for them is that those things take far longer that buying companies that are already online. I also would offer that MS messed up, they dropped the ball hard. The acquisitions are a result of needing to catch up and needing to do so quickly. That said, if a company wants to be sold and is asking for MS to acquire them….. just failing to understand how they’re evil because of this. Not ...
@VersusDMC link?
No
Lol but the 2 trillion dollar company is competing, hence the acquisition. If you were MS what would you do? Truly
Can you “take away” a game that was never on a platform? Did Starfield get announced for PS and then dropped?
If I work on something for 10 years that I announced ten years ago vs working on something for 10 years that I announced ONE year ago, my time spent working on that thing is the same. The fact that this basic time and space inescapable fact is being challenged tells me I am not speaking to someone willing to be objective. Im sorry, tapping out.
