....I didn't created the rumors, dude....
Well, the dude have implied many times that he don't like Microsoft. He even took a deal to release his last game, The Witness, later on the Xbox One. So I wouldn't discard the possibility of him be talking about the Series X rather than the unconfirmed Lockhart.
Also the rumors about the Lockhart are so over the place. Like the thing supposedly target 5 TFLOPS with a Zen 2 processor. But the "devs" that has access to it say it's as powerful as a PS4 P...
The free games are fine. But saying that the EGS provide healthy competition is a joke. As they don't even allow internal competition. Most key resellers that could undercut them are blocked from doing business with EGG's keys. Games can't be compared inside the store, because Epic don't allow the consumer to express any opinion in there. And external competition is almost inexistent. As their exclusive deals stop a lot of games to being sold elsewhere.

Shame that is comes with the Atari pack. I hope they also bring the version with the Namco pack as that is, at least for me, much better.
It still is more than $500 for a Quest thanks to the low availability. Yes, it is a great device with a pretty good lens and a fine screen. But still way too expensive to become mainstream. But in any case I feel the sweet spot for any device of this kind would be at most $300.
It really isn't. As I mentioned in the op, the PSVR is competent to its price point and offer a similar experience to a Odyssey that also happens to be found in the same price range.
Now I honestly don't think they offer a experience as good as the more powerful options. And that is not a demerit because they also cost less than half of said options. However I personally believe that in order to really turn VR into a mainstream way to consume games, the focus should...
I'm sure they will definitely help. However, the main problem with VR is the price. The only way to get a really good experience with this technology is to spend $ 500 or more on a good computer headset. And that assumes that you already have a very good PC that is needed for many of those headsets. Sure there is cheaper alternatives like the Odyssey, but while it's definitive cheaper it's also so much worse.
And for consoles there is basically Nintendo's ca...
You know what is disappointing? Making a top 10 style "article" and them dividing it into 3 pages in order to generate clicks. That is disappointing.
The main issue that Nintendo have when bringing the core user base of the 3DS to the Switch is most likely its price tag. If we recall the original 3DS launch, it was a failure because of how expensive the device was and the Switch is not only more expensive than the 3DS at that point but also boost considerable more expensive games.
However the Switch Lite being considerable cheaper is most likely helping Nintendo bringing those players to their new platform.
This is art.
Everything is a trade. Streaming can be more convenient and can be cheaper (or not if you are Google). But the experience will always be less tight as gaming on local hardware.
It's definitely not a service for everybody.
It's true. Streaming is in theory the most convenient way to play. It doesn't have the need to install or download files and as long as you have a good internet connection you can use it.
That is if it's done correctly. Stadia is a perfect example of how such a convenient service might become extremely inconvenient if the service provider doesn't have a clue on how to run it.

Is this a joke? Hurting Steam sales is hurting their total sales.... that is how total sales works.
That is true. The year gap between consoles and the PC release is the main reason for the low sales. However I would argue that cock blocking Steam for a month also hurted their total sales.
I don't know. Based on what I'm seeing here and other internet spaces people's expectation are not very uniform. Some have pretty realistic expectations while others are certain that those machine will offer $1500-2000 value for like 400 bucks.
You don't understand the scale. A server graded SSD have much higher profit margins than a consumer graded one, because they are build to be more reliable and are somewhat more expensive to manufacture thanks to being less "stacked".They also have a high replacement rate because technology is flawed and limited to a certain number of rewrites that together with the need for much larger storage capacity make them extremely more profitable.
Plus that doesn't...
The point is there is no way that Sony or anyone else would get this sort of memory for 3 to 4 times less than the retail price. As this is a highly sought after part that is sold to multiple market segments some of each are far more profitable than consoles like datacenters and the overall corporate segment. Even nand flash that is by far the most common and cheap type of memory will not have a wholesale price that is 3 to 4 times cheaper than retail because the demand is just too high.
A remake would be pretty cool. The core gameplay of Nier was bad and could really use a update.
This game is great. It's like a middle ground between classic Catlevania and Metroidvania Castlevania.
The overall idea make sense. Like if the PS5 is going for $450 with 9 Tflops. It would make sense for Microsoft to have a more powerful option like the Series X for $500 - $550 and a weaker option for $350 - $400. What doesn't make sense is that weaker option being so much weaker to the point that devs may compare it to a PS4 Pro...
A 8 Tflops unit with a smaller SSD would make so much more sense than the one from the rumors.
