This year? Oh OK. Yeah, I think this year specifically PS5 should be able to outsell Switch for the year, but it really depends on how aggro SIE get with sales promos in the US for BF and Christmas, and if they do some across Europe during that timeframe. And that's versus Nintendo having any...
Yes, it is achievable, even if they did one of the three things I mentioned could be heavily disadvantageous to console sales longer-term.
But PS5 would have needed an extra CY to hit that 100+ million install base, and we're still talking an overall number below PS4's. I also believe, if...
Lifetime? Not a chance. The way things are going, PS5 will tap out at ~ 105 - 110 million lifetime through EOY 2028, and that's assuming there aren't other price increases to come, that GTA6 is the "industry savior" as analysts want to frame it, and SIE doesn't do Day 1 for the big games to PC...
Dude, there are THOUSANDS of games on DS & 3DS. I'm not naming those games. But you can think of a few, I'm sure you can.
Minecraft.
Ace Attorney.
Monster Hunter.
Dragon Quest.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy.
And that's just off the top of my head.
I just named a few but, it's Sunday...
So you're saying their games sold poorly on DS? 3DS? I think not. Now on Gamecube and Wii U? Yes, but that's because those consoles (especially Wii U) had absurdly low install bases. Switch and, by any safe measure, Switch 2, don't and won't have that problem.
The only other reason...
I had an idea WRT Nintendo and more 3P support for Switch 2: they're in a very unique position where they can basically collab with 3P for Switch-exclusive content crossovers leveraging their IP. If any of you remember when Namco had platform-exclusive characters for Soul Caliber 2 (Heitachi...
Gotta make those Day 1 ports easier, I guess 🙄
So the industry is perfectly fine consolidating a massive amount of game engine power & market share to a company whose engine is proprietary, and where a sole company controls the standard?
Gamers always want to sound smart and talk about...
No, this is pure cap. Stop the cap bro.
It's not a supply issue; SIE are intentionally shipping what number of units meet the demand. They know the price increase was not a popular decision over there, and naturally demand would drop in response. I'm sure it's not exactly hard to walk into...
No, he's right. SIE are basically trending the same way Microsoft are, they just don't have (or want) a Phil Spencer type to openly message it. If SIE were really going a different route, they could have more people high up speak out against that narrative, or better yet, show they're going a...
Anyone who names Phil Spencer in any context they should be saying Microsoft or even Xbox, is likely a fanboy and indoctrinated into his cult of personality.
But I'm not surprised modern-era SIE would let a talking head at a studio who uses their IP, keep talking so stupidly publicly.
EDIT: So far seems like it's a glitch. Post from a Redditor who contacted support:
Guess if it's a revamp with more options coming, they'll announce something by Friday. They could have made a statement either via the dashboard or their Twitter & blog that it's a glitch, though.
FACTS! These people keep saying "well they want profits", yet there's no PS4 version of LEGO Horizon? When there's a Switch version, and that system is less capable than a PS4? When at least half of SIE's PlayStation users are still on PS4?
They don't want those users' money, yet they're...
Yeah but the 360 did dominate PS3 in the US and UK. And incidentally, that was the gen when Western game talent was finally emerging big in the AAA space. Most of those Western studios were from the US and UK, and most of their audience were in those countries.
So in that regard, the 360...
Bad take. Sony have the film rights to Spiderman, and they own the only studio that's made great superhero games in the past decade. And it's because of that studio why these Spiderman games have been hitting 10+, 20+, even 30+ million copies sold.
If anything, Disney/Marvel should be...
You guys need to think about this...
Why would LEGO, who were the approaching party, have leverage over SIE, the party being approached, to force a Switch release? That just makes zero sense. SIE would be the ones with the leverage in this situation, so if SIE didn't want a Switch release or...
Metaphor is....not doing quite well at all on the UK charts. Granted this is just physical but #24 in its 2nd week when it didn't even debut in Top 5 is not a strong start considering we have an idea what the digital ratios are between PlayStation and Xbox in that market.
The one saving...
