CRank: 5Score: 114520

This is the most pointless fanboy thread conversation in a long while. It is nothing short of some kind of bragging rights as this 2 game delay will not hurt their current success. The series is already the 2nd best selling systems in the U.S in 2022, people are buying Series consoles for GP, availability of systems and a great selection of games old and new. The 30 or very vocal console war message board dwellers won't change that...I can bet anyone that even with these delays there succ...

Nintendo better not change the switch formula..portable that can Dock. All they have to do is improve upon what is there..no need for any major gimmick.

All I keep reading is people saying, I will enjoy GOW this year, what else? and I'm not talking about already released games. So by that logic, a game that will be on ps4 as well as the end all be all? I will enjoy Gow as well, but let's stop pretending that Sony has a crap ton of big exclusives coming soon.

I understand that delays suck for gamers and are also a reason for console warriors to gloat, but let us be realistic. MS also did say that exclusives will come...

Some do and some follow brand loyalty, some buy because of GP or PS+, some buy because they preferred controllers, some buy because they buy all systems, some buy because they can only afford one, some buy because they can only find one system currently, some buy because it's what their friends have and yes some buy because of exclusives.

So if MS sells well throughout the rest of the year, what will that tell you?

1426d ago 0 agree6 disagreeView comment

No, I clearly said exclusives are important. MS does already have console exclusives, I said people saying there are NO GAMES to play because 2 exclusives got delayed, which is silly. Why do we have to chest beat at all? You are correct they are distinguishing factors, that's why I said it's a diminishing one because GP can be an incentive to get an Xbox over a PS and vice versa with PS5 motion sense controller and or PS++, online and such. Let's face it, a lot of people are buyi...

I understand exclusives are indeed an important aspect of a console, but why are some people saying no games to play on Xbox? That statement is so false, there is plenty of 1st and 3rd party games, 1,000 to choose from and GP has over 400+ of them with games being added monthly, some being day 1 releases.

What if someone just likes the Xbox eco-system better or that is where their friends play? What if a game is better on Xbox? I'm not saying it's not bad that these...

Oni, I agree with some of what you said, I was optimistic on a higher level. 1080P/60 would be fully workable on a handheld, and as you said add some compute power to the dock for dynamic 4k, they can have VRR to help.

As Stark Pointed out cellphones output some nice graphics, so a dedicated handheld can indeed produce higher results. I mean realistically the new Switch has to be stronger than the current one and anything above what it can produce now can put it on or close...

Exactly!! I'm not sure why people can't read between the lines of what Sony is saying. I partly blame Sony because this gen they have gone back on their word a few times just for positive fan PR, but it bit them in the butt a few times, so now they are being cryptic in a way not to upset fans.

Sony has already dipped it's hand in the PC market and with hella good results, only console war enthusiast can't see the writing on the wall. Sony would be insane to ...

Live service games are not gonna thrive like they should being locked to one console, expecially if they are FtP. Destiny 3 or whatever it will be called will not be on PS only and that will be the strategy for the other Live service games as well..maybe not on Xbox, but definitely PC. People on here are thinking fan wishes, Sony is think fan dollars.

I'm not talking GoW day 1 PC or anything like that...but mark my words, some multiplayer and almost all of their GAAS w...

What are traditional console video games?

Good to see RE going strong, I love the series since the original.

1427d ago 0 agree3 disagreeView comment

LOL, my preferred console...I prefer to play whatever games I like.

I don't spend money on things I don't enjoy, I still have almost all the old consoles dating back to the 80s. I was lucky enough to get a PS5, and SX in the launch window and rock my Switch regularly. See I get why you might think I'm am mainly an Xbox fan, but I'm more of a love everything gamer in RL, I only seem to defend Xbox on here mainly cause 1, I like Xbox as well as my other syste...

2nd place?

In what regard?

Not systems sold.
Not game scores.
not first-party game sales.
and even if Sony makes the FY $$ profit, it's still a toss-up as Nintendo doesn't lose money on systems sold, ever.

1427d ago 13 agree21 disagreeView comment

Jin,
Great breakdown.

All these message borders seem to think they know how much MS is losing or gaining with GP. Companies are in it to make money and you can bet MS has a long-term goal, you don't create a service without having a plan, and from what I can tell it has been working, whether it's good PR, better sales, or gaining new customers. People act like MS is not making any money at all on GP which has about 30mill subs by now and still growing.

@againx13

Stay away from GAAS? They have 10 live service games coming in the next 5 years. I think that is what this "Multi-platform" strategy entails. You are gonna be disappointed if you want them to stay away from GAAS because its part of their new strategy.

1427d ago 6 agree5 disagreeView comment

300mill seems kinda light for all the studios that they have.

but, I'm thinking of more day 1 PC releases, mainly the 10 live service games.

Easy, Just call it Switch 2 U! j/k.

But really, all they have to do is use Nvidia's newest mobile chipset, customize it a bit to allow for 1440p, higher fps, up to 60, no need for Ray Tracing, and just make sure it's backward compatible with the current Switch games. launch it in 2024 for $350, make sure BotW 2 and Metroid Prime 4 is in the launch window, and in the same year launch a new 3D Mario game, sprinkle a few 3rd party games that shouldn't be able to wo...

Fingers crossed this is true.

MS unlocked the safe and threw a few $ sign bags at UBIsoft. I think it's for a reason; to dampen any big impact PS++ will have on GP. I bet this will be revealed in June at the showcase and PS++ launch window.

If this is true, MS ain't screwing around, but I also think Sony will buy Square, which is a big move.
