Oh my god it was number 4 on a single month. The very month it is was released. Shocker! Show me the , June, July months, Show me the actual sale numbers. Show me the MAU.
Meanwhile NBA 2K19 on that same list (a multiplat at number 7) was released 7 months earlier. I just checked June. NBAK19 has hardly moved (at 8). The Show has dropped down to 14. A month later the The Show is at 17. NBA 2K19 with the 2020 edition coming out in the beginning of ...
Actually,The Show is very good example of what I think Layden wouldn't mind coming directly to the PC and other devices. It has very small audience on PS and could use that "wider audience" Layden was referring to. It is not exactly a system seller and would have no real competition on the PC, making it a ripe market to take advantage of sales.
Big titles will come to Windows but those games like the next GOW, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, etc.. will be released via P...
@sampsonon
it doesn't matter what the title here is. That is not what Layden said. He never once singled out or mentioned multi-player. That is the article and the poster here editorializing (injecting their own opinion into the story and not reporting the facts).
The actual quote is:
“We must support the PlayStation platform—that is nonnegotiable. That said, you will see in the future some titles coming out of my collection of studios which may need ...
You mean the OS that represents 72% of Steam gamers? Steam had around 150 million active members in May. That is members that sign on to Steam and play in the month that data is collected. 72% of Windows 10 users on Steam is 108 million active Windows 10 gamers that month. More active members than all PS4 consoles sold. How many active members do you think PSN has during that same period? And no it is not the same as the number of consoles sold (100 million). MAU rates on Sony's ecos...
@BethindTheRows
The exact words from Layden (just the other day) were Sony would release some of their games on other platforms and devices. How is that reading too much into something? Or do exact words from the chairman of SIE studios not actually mean what the person says? It sounds more like you are ignoring what he says out of convenience because it doesn't support your own argument.
“We must support the PlayStation platform — this is non-negotiable,” says...

But, Microsoft retains the publishing rights. Kind of like how Marvel owns the IP (like Spider Man) but, Sony has the rights to release movies (not an exact comparison but close enough to explain the complex licensing of this IP). Insomniac owns the IP but they must go through Microsoft to release a game. Ted Price (President of Insomniac) said as much when asked about any future Sunset Overdrive games.
Adapters can easily be found for less than that. I took me all of 15 seconds to find it for less than $25 on Amazon. An I know eBay has them for less than that (I bought mine for $21 on eBay).
Wait. They may put a Mario game on the Switch. That is so unusual. What are the odds of a Mario/Luigi related game ever making an appearance on the Switch . This has never happened in the history of the Switch. (of course ignoring the 15 other Mario related games already released so far) And a remake to boot. Golly gee I am without words, in total shock Nintendo would even do such a thing, a Mario centered game. /s
I remember Sunshine being a good game but, I wish Nintend...
That is exactly what streaming console was supposed to be, XCloud only. This was not a big device. It was rumored to be a small and cheap device like a Roku, Firestick, or Chromecast Ultra (how Stadia connects to the living room). I think it is a mistake not having something like this. It leaves a lot of customers not interested in any console but may be willing to try streaming for only Stadia to grab all at a low entry price and leaving Microsoft out of the equation. It is also a cheap...
However, with streaming "yes" may be less of a real answer to what console exclusive will mean. We know that MS will bring XCloud to as many devices as possible. I assume Stadia is taking on much devices as possible approach as well. This means day one availability for their exclusives (an approach Microsoft already takes with Game Pass). I assume Sony will want to be competitive with PSNow or risk being stuck at 700k ins...
^^^ When does summer vacation end so we don't have to have so many comments by 13 year old's littering the place with over the top fanboy crap like this comment?
@Darkborn
Ten years? Maybe in dog years. Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. Minecraft was released in 2011. Microsoft bought them in 2014.
Asus doesn't actually make a controller for the ROG. They just put their name on a Gamevice controller. Secondly, this design is not a mock-up by Microsoft. The actual older mock-ups (related to the patent) by Microsoft had their implementation with the ability to attach and then reattach the same controller from mobile devices of varying sizes (from phones to large tablets) Because of the Gamevice's design each device only fits small selection of devices. If you want to move a pho...

Revenue is not profits. That is worst than thinking market cap makes them the richest. Amazon had over $287 billion in revenue last year just from sales from their stores. That is more than Apple did. Does that revenue make them the richest? No! For Amazon only 1% of that was profits. The number #1 company by revenue Walmart had $580 billion in sales. They are not the richest or most profitable because of it. So, you are just as wrong in your application of what rich...
@lxeasy
They are not the richest company in the world. Why do people keep saying this? They have the highest market cap. Market cap is valuation the market puts on the company or essentially the amount it would cost purchase every single outstanding stock at the current market price. They don't own all that stock, people do. They are the most valuable company because of their market cap value not the richest which is the actual cash in the bank (after debt is removed.) The Mic...
Pay to get something. You mean how Sony or Microsoft have paid third party to get timed exclusives or special access via marketing deals? Or talking about a competitor, how Twitch is paying to get the ability to stream actual sports (NFL, NBA)? Or Nike (well actually almost any company) pays athletes or actors to represent them? Speaking of sports, how teams pay players more or offer more perks to either keep or steal them away. Everybody pays to get butts in the seats in different ways. I...
However it people are so willing to toss aside some role video-games may play in mass shooting psyche and motivations then you have to toss aside the role of mental stability as well. Studies have shown only 1% of such killings is the shooter deemed mental ill (before or after). And only 3% of all violent crime is the participant mentally ill. Yet, we seem to jump on that bandwagon of mental illness as an answer when data shows it plays hardly any role at all.
Yeah, sure. "Cesspool reactionary morons". I can tell you are calm person who is not prone to violent outbursts and doesn't make broad(overreaching) judgements on a group of people. /s I do find it strange you seem so willing to classify people in one group as all the same. I wonder who else was doing that. Hint you have more in common with the both the alt-right and alt-left shooters this past week than you want to believe Should we red flag you? Maybe we should give you a...
Not it doesn't. Do you just make crap up and you think people don't know how to search verify you stupidity.
Roblox Corp revenue 2018 $96 million (that is for the whole company not just the game: Roblox)
Minecraft in 2018 brought in over $110 million for just the mobile edition of the game. Does not include PC or other devices or even the very lucrative licensing of Minecraft for third part merchandise.
I knew Democrats had short memories but lets not forget President Obama and Biden went to target video games after similar incidents.
And of course, lets continue to ignore the multiple of issues that China cheats, steals and manipulates on.Violates the rules of belonging to the WTO but, the WTO does nothing. All these issues that most on both sides of the political spectrum in Washington don't disagree are happening and in turn have long said we have to deal with (th...
