    Discussion Rumor: Wolverine to be further unveiled soon

    No, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not letting "insiders" who the vast majority are wrong 90% of the time, hype me up for reveals and shows that only turn out to disappoint. It's time to start listening to most of these rumors because they don't lead anywhere or don't lead to anything good...

    Discussion NetEase to consider emulator compatibility on PC for Destiny Rising leaving PS gamers dry & less exclusive to the PS hardware/storefront

    This part's false. SIE can stipulate changes in the contract if they're willing to negotiate, as they now own the IP. Microsoft did this with Disney when it came to Indiana Jones, for example, after buying Zenimax (only to now retract since Xbox consoles are pretty much either dead or dying...

    Discussion Media Create Sales: Week 41, 2024 (Oct 07 - Oct 13)

    Anecdotal evidence isn't always the best evidence; your network of friends & associates might have similar tastes & awareness levels for the same games, so of course they'd know about it. I'm speaking about console owners who would be new to the IP, the developer, and the genre. Some of them...

    News "Collapse of creativity" in the industry according to Shawn Layden - via Eurogamer

    In the AAA space he's certainly right. It's either your licensed comic book/film adaptations, safe sequels to very big games, remakes of games that still run & play perfectly fine from only a generation ago, remasters of similar, or trend-chasing GAAS. Even many of the big success stories in...

    Discussion Media Create Sales: Week 41, 2024 (Oct 07 - Oct 13)

    Hardware sales aren't the issue for PS5 in Japan (at least not until more recently). It was software. This is one of the few weeks where software sales are actually really good for PS5. Let's not downplay that by conflating its bigger struggle in Japan with hardware (again, at least until the...

    News Fortnite Bundaru and €75 price drop for PS5 on Black Friday! - Billbil_kun

    Looks like you're finally waking up 😀 They've been doing promos across Europe on and off for about the whole year IIRC. So suffice to say it's a market where sales are softer than they were expecting, is critical for PS install base, could be in jeopardy of customer bleed to other platforms...

    Discussion UK Charts: The impact of its marketing deal with Xbox largely contributed to Metaphor ReFantazio's flop in the UK

    So you think it's fine for companies to spite large chunks of their fanbases? Because taking on marketing deals that completely omit where most of their customers are at or would be at, is not only idiotic, but also disrespectful. Unless you're one of those "consoomers" who just take whatever...

    Discussion UK Charts: The impact of its marketing deal with Xbox largely contributed to Metaphor ReFantazio's flop in the UK

    Certainly possible. But you won't see certain places like Reset dare suggest this, even though they did so with FF XVI. Heck our own @ethomaz does it for XVI here on the regular, but will he claim the same with Metaphor if data shows sell-through is less than expected? We shall see 🤣...

    Xbox Xcloud streaming of purchased games requires Gamepass Ultimate subscription

    So basically, even if you purchased the games B2P without doing so with a Game Pass sub, you still need a Game Pass sub to stream the games you purchased without said sub? Oof...yikes...lol...lmfao even

    News Metaphor: ReFantazio shipments and digital sales top one million

    How do you newbies always screw yourselves over with outlandish takes such as the bolded? If you left it at the other part you maybe would've had a respectable post, but then you say the bolded, which is factually NOT TRUE. And guess what? We have plenty of metrics to prove it's not true...

    Discussion Flop! Metaphor: ReFantazio debuts at number 37 on Xbox (Atlus 35th Digital Anniversary Edition at number 555).

    Well as @voke said places like ResetERA definitely have been doing the bolded, and it's probably tied to a combination of: 1: The strategic partnership between Microsoft and SEGA/Atlus from early 2022 2: Viewing Xbox as the spiritual successor to Dreamcast 3: Viewing Microsoft as some...

    Discussion Flop! Metaphor: ReFantazio debuts at number 37 on Xbox (Atlus 35th Digital Anniversary Edition at number 555).

    Or, it's possible the game is selling less on PS5 than SEGA/Atlus were expecting. Which in the West, would not be surprising since no marketing has mentioned PlayStation, and WOM is driven primarily through Steam because that's where most of the streamers who push WOM play these games. The...

    Discussion Sony forecasted 18 million units for the fiscal year

    Any significance in that? Yeah the new Metroid they showed will likely be a Day 1 or launch window 1P release, alongside the next mainline Mario game (Odyssey released in 2017). They could also have remakes for a game or two at launch, and I'd expect at least 1-2 3P exclusives as well. As...

    News Metaphor: ReFantazio shipments and digital sales top one million

    IX HD is a re-release bud. No other way to cut it. XII base "only" did 6.1 million before the expansion, IX didn't hit 8 million until the HD re-release. Also these are all FF games from generations back; the main sales anomalies in terms of hitting 8-10 million or even higher altogether are...

    Discussion On Amazon, the PS5 Pro is selling better than the Xbox

    I mean, that's not a huge accomplishment I feel? Xbox has been declining month-over-month, year-over-year even in America, let alone globally. I'm sure that'd be reflected through Amazon especially if going by global rankings. Still feel the Pro will have a solid launch and sell out initial...

    News Metaphor: ReFantazio shipments and digital sales top one million

    You DO realize that all other FF games since FF7 have generally only reached 8-10 million lifetime, if not more, after multiple re-releases and ports to PC.....right? So 3 million first shipment on XVI should've been great for SE considering that history, considering size of PS5 install base at...
