Revenue isn't profit.
Xbox gets lots of revenue, but never seems to make any profits for MS.
Just one more year and PS turns 30...
D••• I'm starting to feel old!

"OK let me expose your BS"
This ought to be interesting...
"OK yeah, you're not unbiased at all, so I'll take your word for it, lol Nope."
You got that from me saying something you can plainly see? You're a bit slow and this is a sad start, just an FYI I never said you should take my word for it.
"So what? Are you telling me fps= better game, lol here are some ps5 4K 120fps games:"...

"Both consoles are still thriving..."
Which two? PS5 and Switch is what you meant, right?
Xbox Series S/X (technically one console despite their significant differences) is going from flop to flop with their most recent upcoming game Starfield also looking pretty weak as the days go on and the game isn't even out yet... 30FPS, level-based stages with only middling visuals for LAST GEN plus RT (supposedly) and the more we hear the less ...
If this was any other company they would've exited this market a DECADE ago. Microsoft’s cash is what keeps Xbox alive. Xbox makes revenue sure but it's always run a deficit. Since the very beginning of Xbox I've not once heard that it ever made a profit for Microsoft. Revenue ≠ profit.
Been only 22 years of Xbox, but otherwise I totally agree.
If they wanted it to be realistic, there would only be one planet with life on it.
Remind us which **PLANETS** NASA sent humans to again?
Like a moderately sized level...
I don't doubt that for a second.
Well that's at least an option... why wasn't this outlined in the PS Blog post or on Insomniac's own website?
@navi87
PC holds back PC.
Any guess who owns that market?
Xbox as a company under Microsoft (like PlayStation is it's own company under Sony) does nothing but lose money for Microsoft (unlike PS which is profitable).
Microsoft keeps Xbox alive, it's been on life support for the entirety of it's existence while PS has made Sony tens of billions and is over a third of the console market's revenue (which is really saying something considering how Nintendo never reduces prices on anything and sells tens of millions of ...
Nationalism? Huh?
No this is MS spending loads of cash on glowing media posts plus having it's obnoxiously loud, but totally free fanboy herd doing the rounds.
Nationalism has nothing to do with it because these terribly backwards articles exist in other languages and are everywhere worldwide.
You: "Yeah but they confirmed the ability to upgrade a standard edition to deluxe by buying the add on for a tenner on psn store so people will still be able to get these skins if they want."
Where? None of the PS Blog posts or storefront information suggests this at all. If it did I missed it as did some of the people commenting on PS Blog and elsewhere.
You: "You can still buy the skins later on (and it'll cost you extra to get them no matter which way you go about it)."
Where was that confirmed? I've looked and so far as I can see there is CURRENTLY no Deluxe upgrade path. You buy the Deluxe Edition outright or you don't... so far this is what has been confirmed.
There is one tiny problem with your myopic view of Uncharted 4's 30FPS target...
Uncharted 4 actually looked phenomenal. It looks great even on PS5 where it runs at 60FPS.
But here's the real problem... Starfield on XSX (as far as we were shown on June 13th 2023) doesn't look as good as Uncharted 4 does on PS4.
Killzone was pretty good. There are three 30FPS Killzone FPS games including the PS Vita game Killzone: Mercenary all played just fine. Before Killzone there was Halo on Xbox which was also 30FPS and before that Golden Eye 007 for N64 which ran at framerates from around 6-13FPS. Sure there were 60FPS FPSes (and other 3D games) on N64 and PS1 but those were more rare.
60FPS is not necessary to enjoy a game if the game is still responsive at 0.2 FPS (a frame every 5 seconds) ...
Horizon Forbidden West runs at 60FPS and looks far better than Starfield even if it's not rendering at 4K.
No one is saying Starfield needs to be 4K AND 60FPS, everyone is confused how PS5 is running games at 60FPS while the supposedly more powerful Xboz Series X console is stuck at 30FPS in games that look significantly uglier though.
I can't understand skipping a game over 30FPS. I prefer playing with better visuals and if the option exists to play at 30 with noticeably better visuals and resolution I will choose that over 60FPS because my eyes work. Resolution isn't as important to me personally... but playing HFW on PS5 at 60FPS reduces effect quality so much I swapped to 30FPS mode. It 60FPS was too much of a sacrifice to me and I'm playing the game on a 1080p display. If there was no distinct visual differ...
Hey hey hey... there are only 900 totally barren planets with no genuine reason to exist with maybe around 91 that have some kind of reason to exist storywise, finally around 9 pretty detailed ones.
By "detailed planets" we're probably talking about small maps with a reasonable amount of things in them.
