    Discussion CESA Game Industry Report 2024: Japan's PC game revenue triplied in 4 years

    You missed the entire point of my post. You're using the short-term thinking, and assuming growth of PC is happening as if all the consoles are performing up to par (they aren't). There is a correlation between more console gamers getting frustrated with the Xbox and now PlayStation platforms...

    Discussion CESA Game Industry Report 2024: Japan's PC game revenue triplied in 4 years

    PC (specifically, the gaming storefronts on it and Windows as the gaming OS of choice basically by default) nigh-tripling its market share in Japan in just 5 years is something MS and specifically Sony need to be mindful of. And in Sony's case, weary, because what's happened in Japan could...

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    With a lot of anti-woke these days, if you're not 100% in agreement with what they perceive is "the enemy" then you're a DEI/LGBT-loving far-leftist Marxist. They've basically become what most of the far-left progressives have turned into, just from the opposite side of the coin. And both...

    Discussion The Commoditization of grievance and anger in the industry

    Sony never cultivated a strong relationship with Western games media during the time Microsoft explicitly went out of their way to do exactly that starting with the 360. They leveraged their lead in the West with 360 to shore up favoristism with Western games outlets (including Digital Foundry)...

    Leak INSIDER-GAMING: EXCLUSIVE – Context Around the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Delay

    No evidence to the contrary, either 😉

    Nintendo Ryujinx (Nintendo Switch) has ceased development after a message from Nintendo

    The Saturn was something of an engineering nightmare and wasn't that popular for hobbyist in the retro scene for a long while, so not the best example. Also even if systems like PS5 or Series X are powerful for their time, the hacker community that's somewhat parallel with the emulation...

    JFC the hatred and racism spewing from some of you people is something else. No wonder the hobby's so tainted these days :/

    Xbox Square Enix confirms goal to bring 'Final Fantasy 16' to Xbox

    The game wouldn't have sold much better on Xbox if it WAS Day 1, let's just be honest about this for once. It's not like SE don't already have historical sales data of other FF games that were Day 1 on the 360 (XIII) and XBO (XV), which likely influenced them into going with SIE for exclusivity...

    Xbox Square Enix confirms goal to bring 'Final Fantasy 16' to Xbox

    Summer 2025. No Game Pass deal. Maybe extra 250K -350K copies sold max (global). Game Pass deal Winter 2025. Exits Game Pass after three months. That's the lifecycle this game has on Xbox. The bulk of any new non-PS sales will always come from Steam, EGS and if Square-Enix were smart...

    News ROG Ally X - 2TB model will cost $900. Release Date December 9th

    Well Nintendo will benefit from economies of scale that ASUS simply don't have. That gets them cheaper pricing on components in mass bulk, which in theory can mean a cheaper price for a comparative product. Truth is we still don't know what the price of Switch 2 will be but rumors heavily...

    Discussion Germany to Enforce DMA Regulations for All Microsoft Products and Services

    Glad a major regulator finally pointed this out. MS gained A LOT from the Wintel days of the '80s and '90s that helped pave their way into new markets afterwards. The fact regulators basically ignored this when MS were trying to acquire ABK is actually crazy to me. It wasn't even Xbox's...

    Playstation Jason Schreier "Horizon Online Next for Guerilla, Horizon 3 'Ways off', Sony's Live Service Initiative was no joke"

    TBF some of these haven't come back because people didn't support them on the PS3 the way they should've. But IP like MotorStorm, Ape Escape, & Syphon Filter were generally successful for their time, scope & budget in mind, and it's perplexing why they haven't come back. Then there are obvious...

    Discussion Phil Spencer recently visited Koei Techmo

    True, it conditions more and more people to not buy games or just "get used to" what is already in the service and settle for that content. I mean, SIE run into some of those problems too but it's not as severe an issue as with Xbox (in part because they don't do Day 1 drops for 1P games or...

    Discussion Phil Spencer recently visited Koei Techmo

    Those games typically perform terribly on Xbox for B2P sales, but would probably be cheaper for Game Pass than a Dynasty Warriors (and they legally can't get Nioh due to SIE holding the publishing rights internationally).

    Discussion The hate towards remasters/remakes

    Games like MGS 1-3 and such getting remakes or remasters is never the issue, because those games are old enough to where modern tech can add a lot of QOL improvements. Same with re-releases like the recent Tomba or upcoming Gex, or the recent Tomb Raider PS1 collection; in the case of the...

    Discussion Why the lack of attention to what Nintendo is up to?

    And it's not like I'm saying there aren't things exciting to me with PS or even Xbox. Death Stranding 2, Ghosts of Yotei, Perfect Dark...those are all games worth looking forward to. However, I know they're all going to be on PC in a year or two (or Day 1 in the case of Perfect Dark), and I...

    Discussion Jason Schreier: "Xbox is such a mess right now, I feel like their plan is changing every single year. They're talking about teasing handheld now."

    I don't think you're completely off-base here TBH. Like you, I've also said that MS and SIE are basically mirroring each other, but that was WRT their PC strategy. And the only difference there being, that SIE still has stagger windows between their console & PC ports. The other difference is...

    Discussion Jason Schreier: "Xbox is such a mess right now, I feel like their plan is changing every single year. They're talking about teasing handheld now."

    All the more reason why we need a new player to enter the console gaming space, or at least provide something that can compete even more with consoles as an indirect competitor. Hence why I'm hoping Valve are that "new player", at least in terms of amplifying their hardware output. They'd just...

    Discussion Why the lack of attention to what Nintendo is up to?

    Nintendo is the only platform owner whose upcoming hardware & software I'm genuinely excited for (whereas with SIE it's more of an interest in the PS5 Pro/PS6 tech and some games, with Valve being similar to SIE in this respect, and with Microsoft it's an interest in some games and curiosity in...

    Analysis The Landgrab era in Gaming is Over

    I generally don't agree with that thesis, because it requires we ignore that: -Microsoft are utterly incompetent -Sony are completely complacent -Nintendo are almost too secured Basically, each of the three current console platform holders are not in a position where they're "hungry" to...
