Supports PS4 games...yet Sony doesn't release PS4 games. So I can play Helldivers 2 on my Steam Deck but not on this thing? Odd.
Since this article posted I've seen it jump from 83% to 86%. Not a very effective review bomb campaign, lol.
It's the blunders that set those expectations so high. If you remove those from the equation, I bet the sales numbers would be more than stellar. Square believes it's okay to release a pile of risky, middling, garbage because the big boys will ultimately subsidize the cost. Don't worry if Forspoken sells poorly, FF16 will surely sell 10 million copies to balance that right out. Oh wait, it only sold like 4 million. Well that's a disaster. Meanwhile games that sell 2 million un...
Then the headline should read "Square To Drop Exclusively Deals in Pursuit of A Sweeping Multiplatform Strategy". I don't recall this argument when Square Enix released Bravely Default, Octopath Traveler, and Triangle Strategy on one platform. And even if FF is the icon, not all of its titles have gone to one platform. We're talking about three games, one of which is already on PC. Did Square suddenly go 'multiplatform' after it released subsequent Tomb Raider sequel...
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.
Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?
oh be quiet, you goblin.
This is 100% due to Activision Blizzard. If that deal had not gone through, Xbox revenue would be flat, which means a game like Starfield failed to move the needle.
I don't get this notion. Do people really think that if MS hardware goes away, Sony is going to start selling $5,000 consoles and $250 games? And that their audience would just accept it?
This just proves what many of us have known for years. The Xbox brand is simply lame. Microsoft honestly expected to win the current generation over with a more powerful console and a warchest of freshly purchased studios and publishers. But no one wants it. Yes, it has an audience, but outside of the US the market for Xbox negligible.
Okay. NOW can we stop with the whole 'Rebirth was a flop' chatter? Still selling remarkably well after two months.
I didn't even need to read the article to know why it was given a 5/10. The insecurity of some people is unreal.
Seriously, what is wrong with sexy women? I'm asking as a gay man with ZERO skin in the game what exactly the problem is. Is it insecurity? Thank GOD we have Stellar Blade around the corner.
While it may have sold more than Rebirth for now (at least in terms of physical sales in Japan), I think Rebirth will have longer legs than 16.
It's nice seeing the PlayStation Portal continuing to surprise so many people with its demand.
I'm going to crack up if this ends up being 60FPS when it comes to PS5. :P
oh phew, for a minute i thought i was going to lose sleep over this news. =P
that can't be a real quote...i refuse to believe it lol
As long as the Crimson Heads are back.
