Well that is true but it didnt help the Wii U much, did it? First party alone is not enough to sustain a console. You NEED third party support to attract more customers. Otherwise they will be again seeing 6 month-18 month droughts and again will be limited to that 10 million or so customer base.
Well said. You cannot push visuals when you have battery consumption/life to consider. Theoretically, the battery life will be a major handicap for the Switch. It is an uncharted territory where they are trying to combine handheld and home console and retain the best of both worlds. It will be very hard to pull off and maybe even impossible. Just look at the electricity consumed by PS4/Xbox One and the heat generated by them despite dedicated cooling systems. I am very interested in seeing ho...
You forgot to consider the PS2 installed base in Japan in 2005 compared to PS4. The PS2 was almost 6 year old by the time SoC released and had sold around 15 million units in Japan alone. In comparison PS4 is less than 3 years old and has sold around 3.7 million units by now. There are less than 1/4th of the people available to buy the game compared to Shadow of the Colossus. Therefore, it actually did pretty good. Besides Team Ico games are not about sales and have never been chartbusters.
Man, they have taken too long to release this game on consoles. It looks severely outdated by now. I dont know why fighting game developers do not work harder on the visuals of the game. Almost all the fighting games look disappointing and underwhelming since the PS360 era. KoFXIV looked horrible... Until the 6 generation (PS2 Era) fighting games used to offer cutting edge visuals. Still remember that gorgeous Moonlit Wilderness background from Tekken 5! Today only Guilty Gear Xrd games offer...
They have released a "complete edition" THREE TIMES (DoA5 Plus, DoA5 Ultimate, DoA5 Last Round) by now but each time they released more DLC and rendered the version pointless. The game currently has more than $300 worth of DLC costumes. They keep releasing $90 season passes each year since release.
I am not calling ALL the optional content crappy. I agree that the dungeons are quite fun and world is gorgeous and interesting to explore. Fishing is very fun too. I just went to Mount Ravatogh today and conquered the summit and it was really fun.
I am referring to the those dogtag collecting for hunter, vegetable fetching for Takka, cargo fetching for merchants in Lestallum, photos for that annoying fat guy and frog catching for Sanya sidequests. They are the ones that ar...
Well you can spend all the time you want and then say that it lasted you X amount of hours. I can stand in the chapter zero or run around in the name of exploration and claim that I am 20 hours in and still at Chapter 0. The point still remains that the story is only 15 hours long if you do not do the "optional" quests even though Tabata promised a minimum of 40 hours of main story. If you want the game to last more than 15 hours then you HAVE to do those mundane and tedious optiona...
The problem with FFXV is that if you do not do the "optional" sidequests, the game end in barely 15 hours. The "optional" sidequests are basically essential in case of FFXV. The game is very short and unfinished. The first playthrough I played for the story and the main quests and the game ended in about 15 hours! During the second playthrough I am trying to get the more out of the game by doing minigames and sidequests but it is becoming VERY tedious and boring. Fetch veg...
I find the commercial just funny and not weird. One can even find a lesson of life in there somewhere. Two losers who cant find a girl in real life fall for the same cam girl. Then they are stupid enough to believe that she will marry them. Finally, the two friends get into a fight over whose wife and whose sister-in-law she actually is. In the end, they discover that the girl left for Hong Kong and they will have to survive on her appearance in the game. Nobody gets the girl; it is just her ...
MS are always skirting the boundaries of lying and deception. They do just enough to mislead people but not enough to be held responsible legally. Very sly of them. That is why I hate MS. First the Xbox One S being 40% smaller image, then Xbox One being the best selling console in the US claim and now this. They are truly shameless and crooked.
That is how success is judged. You look at how competitors are doing and then how much you are selling. What else are they going to do judge success? Ask you? What other figures or precedent have we got that can be used to evaluate the level of success of PSVR? It is is new product; a new industry. It is fledgling and it will take time to take off and become mainstream. The same is true for every new product when it launches. For now, they are doing much better than its competitors and that i...
PS4 Pro is not a next gen console. It is an incremental upgrade with the same amount of RAM, a slilghtly overclocked CPU and better GPU. Nobody expects it to run all current games at 60 fps. Still there are games that run 60 fps on Pro like Tomb Raider. FFXV will be getting a 60fps patch this month too.
On the other hand, Switch is a next-gen console and should be powerful enough to run circles around last-gen Wii U. It should have no problem running a last-gen game like L...
The PS4 is winning in every possible way. It is winning in exclusives both in number and reception, it is winning in mutiplat performance, it is winning in worldwide sales, and it is winning in local sales. There is just no way to spin it.
I think Capcom has their sights set a little too high. It is a slow paced first person survival horror game. That is a niche market and they predict to sell 4 million on Day 1? They are bound to fail and disappoint with those kind of ridiculous sales target.
They had similar targets for DmC where they wanted to sell 5 million similar to God of War. They had to reduce the target to just 2 million before launch because of the backlash and in the end game sold barely 1.1 milli...
There you have it. Told you guys that people were waiting for the Pro. Congratulations to Sony, PS4 and PS4 fans. More sales means more money for Sony, which means more games for us! :D
On the other hand... MS is back to MAUs and ENGAGEMENTS and Weddings. LOL Their "engagement" metric always reminds of getting hitched. Lol.
EDIT: On a side note... Man, these Rookie and Green are two sick and pathetic individuals that waste their lives on spamming and trol...
I think that 60 million target for the fiscal year is a little too much for PS4. I dont think they will be selling 10 million units in the next 4 and half months especially since sales slow down at the start of the new year.
