If you had asked me to come up with worse news, I couldn't have done it.
I agree that seemed how things were trending, but this could radically change the landscape.
I don't know if that's true anymore. At the very least it's up for debate now. At minimum, Sony needs a studio that can make exclusive first person Western RPGs. Xbox is getting close to having a monopoly on that market (with CD Projekt obviously being an exception).
See, I don't think this will be the case unless Gamepass just comes to PS5 (which I expect to happen to some extent if PS5 destroys Xbox for a few years).
When MS bought Minecraft, it was branded very much as a Microsoft purchase. This time, they made it clear Bethesda is part of Xbox now. Although it's the same company of course, I think associating Minecraft with MS as whole was an intentional move to keep it from being perceived as an Xbox only game. They seem to...
Ugh, how much does it matter if MS is going to buy every big studio.
Wow. Didn't see this coming. Guessing a lot of "Bethesda has sucked since Oblivion" people are going to start singing a different tune now.
Yeah I don't understand this idea that more people would have gotten them if Sony had provided an exact time. Different people might have gotten them, but the same number of overall, so the same number of people would be disappointed (probably more actually, because the bots/scalpers would have been more prepared for an announced pre-order time).
As it was, it was literally the people showing the most interest in preordering who got pre-orders.
Really wondering what the breakdown is going to be in how many they make of each, and if they anticipate demand correctly. Like are they going to make 65% X and 35% S? Or do they think S will be just as popular based on its low price?
Also, will having a set date and time just result in bots buying up all the units?
Infamous was criminally underrated on PS3. To be fair, at that time Sony didn't really market and first party titles other than Naughty Dog games.
But the fact that Ghost of Tsushima is so successful probably precludes us from ever getting another Infamous, unless another studio makes it.
Yeah, this whole "1080p/1440p console" vs "4K console," as if they are two separate categories, is complete nonsense. Even if you have a 1080p machine, XSX will be way better. The fact that XSS plays old games worse than X One X should tip people off to this.
Lol why not just focus on a female character? Zelda is the obvious option, but Mipha could be an option as well.
Yeah BB got bogged down because the site was so jacked up. I doubt supply would have lasted if they hadn't been so slowed down. I'm just thinking if amazon was working smoothly, they must have had a pretty good supply to last thirty minutes.
30 minutes seems like a long time, lol.

As dirty as it feels to push the upvote button on one of your comments, I have to give it it you on that one lol.
Very disappointed that the first comment was not "Nanomachines, Son."
Ugh I hate this argument so much. The hardcore fans who buy First party games will be the first ones to move over to PS5.
Gosh, you can't say "the PS5 lets us make games in new ways we couldn't before" and also say "our game is coming to PS4 as well" and have both be true. Miles Morales is no big deal because it was always kind of a stepped up PS4 game, but Horizon being developed for PS4 (I rip Xbox for catering to the lowest denominator, so Sony gets it too) and basically only upgraded for PS5 is a nightmare. Really undercuts several narratives about the system and their approach to...
That was the thing that was obvious lol. It was never about the cost of the parts.
Remember all the "a disc drive costs about $50, that will be the price difference" people? Remember how obvious it was they were wrong?
Lol @darthv72 is wrong because a lot of the ease of PS5 is that it is a logical progression from PS4, whereas Xbox is more complicated because you have to optimize for so many platforms (One, One X, XSS, XSX, PC).
Ultimately it doesn't matter because MS will probably just buy Take-Two and CD Projekt and Square Enix anyway.
