And it's not sold to Nursing Homes.
Jokes and valid observation aside, fantastic effort from all involved. To see off and mitigate the threat of mobile gaming and to sell at such a rate is bloody amazing.
Sony are in the best position possible moving into the next gen. Good times ahead that's for sure.
CD3 articles are littered with 'just play it on GamePass' - 'I'll try it on GamePass'- 'lucky I have GamePass' and comments to that effect.
Here's an idea - how about you don't play it on GamePass. Send a message loud and clear that sub-standard, celebrity endorsed products won't cut it going forward.
Stop giving mediocrity any form of success. I think the majority of xbox owners would have preferred a more refine...
Obscure_Observer - That's a tad OTT, but he isn't the 2nd coming like xbox owners on N4G make him out to be. This gen has been a disaster regardless where you want to lay the blame.
And, I still don't see 'this bs I keep hearing about Phil Spencer needing to get fired' - especially PS fans. That's what I was replying to.
They should sack Larry Hryb and Aaron Greenberg before anyone. Both lack any class,
I'm hoping they close the PS5 reveal with a Demons Souls 2 announcement, a stretch I know. But one can dream.
I troll xbox pretty hard, unashamedly too - but I can honestly say I've never seen anyone call for Lucky Phil to be sacked. At least not to the extent your inferring.
Budgets - you said it yourself. Indie games can run on the SWITCH. The point is consoles are a closed environment with the devs eeking out every ounce of performance from them. That takes 'talent', not pushing an un- optimized game through a powerful CPU and GPU.
My understanding is the PC market is huge going by STEAM numbers, yet no major developer or publisher wants to invest in a game that pushed everything forward.
Because that market is tin...
What you are saying is PC gaming is holding back gaming? Wow you are always right.
Really? How about all those useless NVIDIA cards that don't get pushed anywhere near their limit. It's the PC Devs that are holding gaming back.
What if a PC dev capped frame rates and resolution then went all in on creating a game for high end cards only. How gorgeous would that be?
But they won't, most PC gamers use potatoes to play games.
Gotta keep that hype train running somehow.
When U4 dropped ND started on PS5, when HZD dropped GG started on PS5, when GOW dropped SSM started on PS5. Sony 1st parties have 2 teams.
Naughty Dogs TLOU2, Bend Studios Days Gone, Sucker Punches GOT and MM DREAMS will see this gen out.
The rest are working on PS5, common sense Mr Analyst.
Really? Nothing seems to be affecting their sales. Can you name a few of these 'dumb decisions'?
Let's say for arguments sake - He doesn't. Like this whole gen, over promise - under deliver.
Will he be called out? Or do we look to the VGA's? Wait for E32020? Gamescom? ms own show?
I admire the resilience of xbox fans, you really do see the glass half full.
chris235 - obidanshinobi - this game isn't for you, move along now - the next bro shooter will be out soon.
2020 latest.
Fuck the games media, I make up my own mind. Those shills don't influence a single purchase I make. I brought the MGSV PS4 console, the Limited Edition version. Did the game live up to expectations - no, is it a flawed game - yes. Am I happy I played it and own a console designed after it - YES.
Kojima can be a little ambitious but he hits the target more than he misses. And when he hits he hits HARD.
He has earned consumer confidence and all the ac...
Even if it released in 2019 they are completely different in tone and play styles. Why would it matter, enjoy both if you can.
But his comment is correct, right?
Weeb - Nice way to downplay it 'Oh no a few articles' - mate, there has been nothing but hate and derision from the gaming media. They are trying to crucify it before release.
Time will tell, but Archangel is right about the many articles claiming zombie (breakers BTW) fatigue. Maybe RE2 releasing and looking of a high standard has reignited interest in the genre.
Nice breakdown mate, but the CEO of a company seemed pleased with the impact PSVR has had his games sales. Seems without PSVR his company would be struggling, as you VR is still very niche.
Purrfection - What are you on about? Pretty sure most PSVR titles are available on other VR headsets. There really isn't many PSVR exclusives, Astrobot - Farpoint and Firewall come to mind.
Regardless of the pettiness of your comment, you were right about one thing - Sony is King. Because they believe in what they are doing, they're not trying to create ways of getting the consumers money with the least amount of effort.
All that Live money from the 360 gen and look what you got this gen. MS are seriously a deplorable company. Fingers crossed the studio acquisitions prove fruitful, nothing is a guarantee after all.
