@Christopher I didn't take that picture, but it's apparently a store in Turkey (despite looking like a BestBuy) called D&R Electronics who is doing in-store sales (against Sony's wishes I guess).

There's other reports about the same store: https://www.reddit.com/r/pl...

Still, I don't recommend flying to Europe to buy any...

Took 2 seconds on Google: https://www.walmart.com.mx/...

In stock and available to ship immediately or pickup.

Lesson of the day: Stock and demand varies by region. Something being in stock somewhere in the world means nothing. I am not pretending PS5 isn't in demand - it is, but that doesn't mean it'l...

"3rd party publishers stop releasing on Xbox and only release on Playstation.
This is the most profitable route, without a doubt."

Not releasing on an ecosystem with tens of millions of users and skipping on millions in revenue is the most profitable route? Thank god you don't run a business.

If GamePass really does take over the industry and becomes a key revenue driver, you're going to see PlayStation do GamePass too. Perhaps ...

Lucky you... nearly 1 year in and I still don't have an XSX and haven't even seen one in person.

There is a link in my post, click it.

Sounds like MS are doing well - they just posted 60bn in profit for the first time ever.
Glad to hear they are all in on gaming - more competition is better for us consumers.

That's literally how selling products works.

Similarly, Sony will be counting all of these as units sold: https://i.imgur.com/trSKsOA...

Nintendo, Apple, Google etc will all be doing the same too.

- $70 games
- Lack of interest/care for back compat / the legacy of great PS games
- No expandable storage at launch, nor at 8 months post launch
- Closing Japan studio
- Cancelling of good franchises like DG
- Attempting to kill legacy stores
- Next-gen upgrades & save migration being a mess
- Constant flip flopping and lying to gamers

I could probably list more, but this list is more than enough

"The Series X/S need to sell more then 10 millions console a year to reach the 360 numbers"

That isn't how product sales work, they aren't linear. Sales will peak at certain events - big game launches, hardware revisions, etc, and flatten at other points.

Anyway, facts are facts - XSX is currently selling at a faster rate than XB360.

Perhaps, but he oversaw PS & WW Studios during their best years in recent history and gave us some pretty awesome games & new IPs.

Not a huge fan of Layden by any stretch and don't really get what point he's trying to make here, but I do now miss him heading up SCEA & WW studios and would rather he ultimately became SIE CEO instead of Ryan.

While VGChartz isn't exactly a fully accurate/reliable source, they are certainly more accurate and reliable than you, a random guy on the internet.

"The Series X/S doesnt even got one million more sold then the Xbox One that sold 50 millions... The 360 sold more then 85 millions..."

That logic is flawed... product sales are not linear like that.

Both are being crushed by Switch which completely dominates the region. Ergo they have similar problems.

Where do I get a Series S for under $20? That sounds like a crazy bargain.

It's Switch that is crushing them... not Xbox... Xbox has similar problems in Japan.

It really depends on the game. In some games the dialogue is essential, in others it’s totally skippable.

Spider-man is a last gen game… this is a truly next gen game that pushes the boundaries - not only in rendering but in terms of the live service data and streaming in world data from the cloud.

But since you asked me to compare them I will. Flight Sim is a 92 metacritic and SMMM is an 85.

@Darkborn "Plus the games Sony makes are pure quality. They deserve to ask for more."

Oof, what's your position at Sony Corporation? Is that you Jim?

Imagine a consumer wanting to pay more... it's people like you that'll have us paying $100 for a game soon enough.

Awesome. I wish R* would bring MP3 to Xbox back compat and give us a MP4.

Also throw in an LA Noire 2 and Bully 2 please... don't become VALVe and just sit on a bunch of great IP.

Have you played MSFS before? It's a miracle this thing even runs on console.
