Well Guild Wars did that 12 years ago ... for a much cheaper price and it worked out for them (big addons). Visually Destiny 2 looks just "ok" to me ... also what´s up with that "Dishonored Level Venice (italy) " ;P ... even the audience was not sure when to clap, when to cheer or what to do ...
Im not one of those 30mill. reg. destiny 1 players and if Bungies want´s me to hop in they have to deliver/show me more than that. Based on that only t...
NUMBERS of people (especially on mobile with 4bill. users?> multiple by >$1 title/app/summer/wintersalegam e< = $$$$$$$ ^ding^ding ... in other words : i´m pretty sure that one could make few millions of dollars by releasing the hotest and latest celebrity tits ... thru an app of course on your smartphone for $1.

Steam is most likely uncontrollable right now that even Valve themselves prefer not to "curated it" anymore. ...
Steam was intended to make the pc gamer´s life easier, not having to deal with Starforce64 and other nasty DRM mechanisms of the late 90s early 2000 ... but nothing has changed since then :
- steam client is a DRM, without it you can not play any game (even though i´ve been told otherwise)
- Valve (2016) with 16,000 games made as much money as the year beofre (2015) with just 7,000 titles (big drop)
- nowdays games come with add. DRM ... so we ge...
>>>While both are not worth the full price of $60<<< ;=) i did not say The Order was worth the $60. I agree on the content aspect of both games.
€: just saw i worded it poorly, my bad. :D
"Releasing to mixed reviews, The Order was heavily criticized for the short length of its campaign, which could be bested in an afternoon’s sitting. A lack of multi-player or any worthwhile collectibles meant that The Order was quickly forgotten about once players had stumbled through its lukewarm narrative after >>>>>>repeti tive cover shooting galore>>>>>> "

Ubisoft relies/makes up to 76% of their income via the console market (€1,108mill) and 17% (PC) circa €248mill. And 84% of their income comes from the EU and USA market. Why even bother selling outside of these regions? 16% is a mere €200mill. coming from other regions (indochinasia) ... seems not worth the effort (physical copies that is) to me.
Of those €1,459mi...
2015: Sony dominated whole EU up to 90%, World Wide they reached 50% market share, it prolly is near 55% by now or even higher. Only in Mexico and Brazil (due piracy 360 and much lower local production costs) are the xboxs doing significantly better.

Why the title change?
Strange! 15h ago ... everyone in here had more agrees than disagrees (not many, like 30:10). 15h later every comment has like 300+ agrees or dislike. Just look at the nr1 "trending" topic ... it pales in comparison to the agree/disagree ratio here.
Strange results, like usual ... first this "American study" claims that 62% play on mobile/tablets ... just to refute that statement by saying that close to 50% prefer/to play on consoles versus the 26% on mobile/tablets. What is it now?
Play Games on 62% mobile vs
Prefer to play on 47% consoles ..

Wonder if the e3 2016 and PSX2016 can ever be toped! Both on their own top event/shows ... combined even better than Sony´s e3 2015 Show. Wish Howard Stringer never had the CEO job at Sony! Terrible years those were ...

- Sony has less 2nd/3rd party exclusives ... with 2.5x as many games (percentage wise)
- Sony has a new game released every 19h for 17 years straight ... vs the 40h (16 years)
- Sony´s only recycled IPs are GoW, GT (total games 4x GoW, 3x GT) plus 2x GT "demos" 9+
- MS´s only recycled IPs are Gears, Forza, Halo, Fable (total 5x Gears, 8x Forza, 4x Fable, 7x Halos) ...

.. there is no other reason to have 2x devices having up to 90%? of the same games, it is pointless to own both machines because of this. XB1+Switch or PS4+Switch is the way to go ... i will never understand why someone playing on a PlayStation would wanna get an Xbox as well and vice-versa ...

This is not entirely true. Sony alone made more than Valve´s Steam (software sales only) with the PlayStation Division ($5bill. vs $3.6bill).
Steam Fiscal year 2015 $3.5
Steam Fiscal year 2016 $3.6 with twice as many games released in 2016. 14,000games
Sony at 5.4bill. i´m not sure if the final number is actually higher, since it says Q3 results (1,500games)
Sony >>>Q3 FY16 Results<<<
Sales increased ...
@Bjorn
Yeah ... we all know. First week of November = Christmas ;)
Did the XB or PS4 launch with any system seller ... a software that pushed the sales/hardware so hard like the latest Zelda did? Nope ... and if not mistaken Zelda was a WW launch, both XB and PS4 did not launch WW in 2013 (like Japan and many other countries).
Remove the Zelda from the equation and all you have is an NX which looks worse, they knew it and you know it bu...
Then we all have to assume, that you´re okay with them milking the cashcow with 15 year old games not running at 60fps ...
Now even our retro games will be milked to death ... again thanks to the 1st party output of Sony and Nintendo it does not bother me .. but once these start doing the same we´re in deep trouble. Wanna continue playing Mario Sunshine? You can unlock Mario´s iconic red/blue overall for just $1.99 ... before you even start the game. "Pr...
... then you would know, that the car manufactures do not want to see their cars demolished. It has been this way since 1998 ... and it will be this way til the Earth goes out of juice. :)
My bad! Close to 2.8mill. 1st month (WW), missing april numbers. Max. 5mill. most likely 4.4mill. (my guess). Anyway .. the point remains :
- no 3rd party .. like at all. 1st month and we have seen nothing ... not so "easy these PS4 ports"
- no 3rd party simply due the hardware specs and XB1 being the L.C.D.
Zelda was a real system seller like´ve never seen before. Everyone wanted to play that Zelda game ... without it, the numbers...
Hope AMD does well ... because the harsh reality is that Intel and Nvidia are dominating like never before.
