I still view the two subscriptions separately though.

If you're comparing PS+ premium tiers VS GamePass, then I think GP wins, mainly due to the day 1 content.
If you're comparing the base PS+ vs XBL Gold games, then PS+ is the clear winner. GWG has been dreadful for... well years.

MS needs to do a better job on the GWG content. They could look to their back catalog, especially with Zenimax and soon Activision. No one is asking for the ne...

Very strong month. Crash 4 was awesome (still hoping we get a sequel).

GWG, take note, this is how it is done - you CAN keep giving good free monthly games after launching a catalog subscription service.

@Eonjay There are tons of 1440p 240hz monitors. You can get some for ~350 bucks.

4k 240Hz does exist, but is expensive, in the region of $1500. 4k 144/120hz is more common, and runs about 700 bucks.

EDIT: No they don't. LG's gaming monitors are 4k144hz, HDR600 also, 27" also, and retail at $700. If you think it's a bargain, you are welcome to go purchase one. But I am also welcome to have my opinion :)

I do however thi...

Complimenting one part (headsets) and criticizing the other (monitors, mainly the price) is not 'being a hater'. It's called constructive criticism.

As for what other platforms do, I couldn't care less. I care about those ecosystems of which I'm invested in.

Steam software stats are irrelevant - they are opt in, they do not include all Steam users.

Everyone I game with on PC has moved onto 1440p or 4K. People who play PS5 on monitors are even asking for 1440p support on the console. Heck, you can get a 1440p 240hz monitor with a better refresh rate than these monitors for far cheaper.

Like I said, the headsets seem good, the monitors are behind where they need to be for those prices - unless they were OLED or...

$900 monitor that includes no cables - is that you, Apple?

The headsets look good, the monitors not so much at those price points, also 1080p PC gaming is dead, should be 1440p.

@Silly

1. If you're going to split them out, you'll need to split out PS5, PS5D, Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite, PS4, PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim, XB1, XB1S, XB1X.

2. Why are you blaming him? It's not like he is the one doing the market research... when NPD and GFK report numbers they are reporting them already combined.

3. Why do you even care? A sale is a sale. If someone buys an Xbox Series S, they get an Xbox. If someone buys a ...

"The game is broken and we aren't fixing it, because we've moved everyone onto something else but we can't tell you what that is either"

Oh... okay then 343.

They need to shape this up or ship it out. It's been crappy for a while, all the valuable games are in GP instead. The only game I've even heard of here is Torchlight, and even that is 13 years old.

This is currently the only thing the new PS+ is doing better - Sony (so far) have kept giving good monthly games.

1461d ago 4 agree15 disagreeView comment

Same can be said about Switch variants & PS5 variants, or PS4/PS4 Pro, X1/X1X etc 🤷

This way of measuring has been the standard forever.

"Your talk doesn't work with someone with more then 30 years of gaming"

But someone who has been gaming for 30+ years would know that people buy games consoles... to play games.

So if people are buying an Xbox Series X|S console, there is 100% chance that they are playing games on it.

It's irrelevant how many copies of GT7 etc were sold - that doesn't change the HW sales figures in the article above.

And add in another Portal too please ;)

Looks great, wish it had an ETA (or a release). Waiting on this mod for sure - I want to play Alyx but have zero interest in playing it in VR.

I am however toying with the idea of buying this in advance since it's 50% off on Steam right now.

Well, yeah. With it being a tightly packed handheld, they've likely done exhaustive testing on thermals, swapping out the SSD could screw up that balance.

Okay... how about Sony?

This game is a complete mess and just needs to be gone to be honest. Hopefully D4 is better.

"But understand this sales without games are completely pointless"

So people are spending hundreds of dollars on a games console, which... primarily/near exclusively, plays games... that has no games?

Makes perfect sense /s

@darkrider Insomniac Games disagrees with your statement about it getting harder: https://twitter.com/JamesSt...

p.s. It's in stock again for anyone looking for a console.

@ocelot Weird, supply is definitely getting better here in North America.

1462d ago 6 agree20 disagreeView comment

It's been in stock a LOT more often PSDirect, even staying for hours: https://twitter.com/Wario64...

It's been in stock on Walmart CA for 5 days, Walmart MX indefinitely. Stayed in stock @ Sams Club for 9 hours.

Supply in NA is clearly improving. If supply is 'getting worse' as you put it then no one is buying the console because it is staying in stock for...
