When did the cogs of fate begin to turn?

The real problem is that there is no real baseline on the perception of these scores. A reviewer could see a 7 and a really good game and 6 as an average game, but the person reading the review might see anything under an 8 as below average and therefore a flop. Most of these people do not even bother reading the review they just look for the score itself.

This is a shame because a lot of people miss out on great games due to, for example, someone docking points because ...

BotW is one of the best open world games there is right now, arguably better than your "cutting edge" games you speak of "aka PS4 games in your case...cause...Playstation...& quot;

Xenoblade 2 is a far better JRPG than Final Fantasy XV.

Shin Megami Tensei is Nintendo's Persona.

Mario Odyssey one of the best modern 3D platformers around.

Splatoon 2 is a unique shooter with high levels of quality. <...

I am waiting for the Switch release. There are so many good games out right now, having this portably would benefit me greatly.

Looking forward to learning more about this. So far they have shown us nothing hype worthy. But it being Kojima, I know it will be good. Give me gameplay!

I know, good thing PS Plus is not required for F2P games at least.

Yes, and 2 of those months are the most recent. Currently the Switch is tracking head of PS4. When Spiderman and Red Dead drop, PS4 will be ahead again. When Smash drops, Switch will be ahead. Not rocket science.

Nintendo and Sony will continue this back and forth all the way up until the PS5 releases (likely 2020). Deal with it.

That was pre E3. Now the Switch is outselling PS4 month to month again.

Both will take the top spot back and forth. It is inevitable. That is what happens with two systems that can co exist under the same roof though.

Word it how you want, it changes nothing. It is pirating and therefore theft.

That person "sharing" is breaching the licensing contract that is part of EVERY GAME new and old. However if you were only 5 when you learned a out the whole youtube controversy (one I do not agree with Nintendo on), then you are clearly too young to understand the legality involved with emulation and roms.

Fair enough, shut them all down. They own their IPs, end of discussion. Sony, MS, and all other publishers will likely follow suit the more older titles continue to sell digitally.

They cannot shut the emulator down, emulation is not illegal. It is use of the roms that is illegal, unless you rip it from YOUR OWN copy of the game yourself.

In all honesty, anyone stupid enough to run a or provide a rom for Switch or any current gen console for that matter deserves to be busted. It is one thing to want to use it for really old games, but to do it with current gen games would make you scum. It is stealing plain and simple.

Awesome news. Would love to see 2 and 3 get a re release as well!

Agreed. Him saying PS is the "best place to play", is no different than XBox ads saying the same thing. He had a poor choice of words sure, but the media is obviously putting a spin on the comment. In no way did he come off as a snob or over confident.

He simply said that they view Playstation as the best place to play and there is no need for it. In a sense, he is right. They have over 50% of the market share right now and unless other big games outside of For...

I am looking forward to...

Days Gone
Ghost of T
Death Stranding
TLoU2

...from that list. Sony and MS both have bright futures and both will keep us entertained in the near future. That much we can agree on.

Again, nothing Sony did not do with the VITA. You seem to be .issing the point that Sony can, and has, messed up in the past. The WiiU still got their version of BotW on its way out, which you conveniently left out. It was a failed console, but it was killed a little less than 5 years onto its life. Nintendo has been known for 5 year cycles and Sony did the same thing until the PS3 and PS4 came out.

So what is your excuse for 2019 then?

@Frampt

Nintendo supported the WiiU more than Sony supported the VITA...so what is your point exactly?

2719d ago 2 agree5 disagreeView comment

Lets also not forget that the Switch has more 1st party exclusives in a single year than the PS4 did in over 2.

Common sense?

That does not mean that the F2P model is good for gaming...it sucks.
