    News Black Myth: Wukong has sold 10 million copies across all platforms.

    It's one of the best looking games released to this date, arguably the best looking game. On top of that most people find the combat fun and challenging (but not as obtuse as FromSoft). The hate this game is getting is so weird. It's the largest surprise hit of the year, meanwhile you have woke...

    Xbox [VideoGamer/Bloomberg] Xbox fans lose faith in Microsoft as exclusives jump to PlayStation and Xbox strategy is confusing as ever

    Slowly morph into primarily a 3rd party publishing behemoth. I feel like the only reason they haven't totally called off a next gen console is they probably already sunk hundreds of millions (if not billions) into R&D and components already. Also, they need to not totally alienate their...

    Discussion ‘There’s going to be more change’: Phil Spencer speaks on Indy PS5 news

    Hargeet is the nintendo version of ohnoitsalexx. Pretends he's a console war "neutral", but everything he says and does is coping and justifying all of Xbox's failures.

    Xbox It looks like Black Myth Wukong is not coming to xbox anytime soon.

    If we're bringing science and empiricism into the conversation, the null hypothesis is always the default assumption. Therefore the burden of proof falls upon the accuser to demonstrate that there is a conspiracy between Sony and Game Science.

    News Black Myth: Wukong has sold 10 million copies across all platforms.

    It's a bizarre narrative given that every console executive would gleefully give up their first born children if they could establish a strong consumer base in China. Capturing the Chinese console market would be the one thing that might have a chance of saving Xbox, but from the looks of it...

    News Niko Partners: PS5 is selling at a 2x faster rate vs PS4 in China | Wukong drives PS5 to Top of Alibaba Tmall

    The steam peak is 2.4 million people. If we estimate that around 12% of those are players not in China, that's about 290k players, which is nothing to sneeze at.

    Rumor NateTheHate: Indiana Jones to come to PS5 in the first half of 2025, timed console exclusive for Xbox

    What's the point of timed exclusivity? It'll provide a temporary bump for Gamepass subs, but the elephant in the room is that we all know Xbox diehards aren't gonna buy it. Might as well launch it day one on PS5 and use the millions of launch sales in their marketing.

    Rumor Console wars are over. Microsoft ramping up 3rd party development. |UP| Chris Dring: Xbox flatlining in EU, Xbox games coming to PS & less focus on GP

    FF16 will do good numbers on PC, but will FF16 even sell 500k copies on Xbox? 250k? Most console gamepass users will just wait and assume it hits gamepass. Unless they get a sweet gamepass deal, it will be DOA in terms of revenue for Square enix.

    Discussion a BIG Xbox title is coming to PlayStation NEXT WEEK according to Shinobi

    It's funny how a few weeks ago the supposed xbox "sales bump" from College Football 25 had xtards thinking things were turning around for them. At this point, what is Microsoft waiting for? This drip release strategy is creating all sorts of acrimony with their base and making all Xbox...

    Discussion a BIG Xbox title is coming to PlayStation NEXT WEEK according to Shinobi

    I've played and dislike both games, but I'd rather play Starfield. Hellblade 2 is really dull and boring after the first few minutes of nice graphics. It's really worse than HB1 in all ways except for graphics.

    Playstation Director doesn't rule out switching to Unreal Engine 5 for Part 3 of Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Rebirth's performance mode is still awful looking like a Series S game. Can UE5 help make performance mode not look so bad?

    Discussion Ubisoft seeks to replicate the success of Ghost of Tsushima in Japan with Assassin's Creed Shadows

    From the gameplay trailer, the combat system looks like the same weightless, button mashing system they've had at least since Odyssey. They are the Madden of action adventure games, so it makes sense that each release is the equivalent of a roster update in Madden or 2K. Of course this will...

    Discussion From software side quest design is absolutely atrocious. And I’m sick of people pretending they are good

    You can overcome most of the shortcomings of Fromsoft side quest design through a quick (albeit annoying) google search. With starfield, there's nothing you can do about the loading screens, awful characters, and procedurally generated garbage.

    Multiplatform Alan Wake 2 is still not profitable | Other Remedy Financial Reports

    I like the series, but I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised. It's a niche sequel to a game from a decade ago, which was niche even back then.

    News Black Myth: Wukong Preview |OT| Release Date Trailer | Confront Destiny on August 20, 2024. |UP| Supposedly runs at 1440p/60 fps on PS5.

    I think the game is really damn good, but the narrative around it hasn't been as glowing as a GOTY usually is due to PS5 haters complaints about exclusivity. In that sense I think this year is pretty wide open compared to the past few years with BG3 and Elden Ring.

    Discussion Square Enix Q12024 Finalcial Results: Net Sales: -18.4%, Operating income: +250.1%

    Predictable seeing all the Bots gloat about multi platform as if any of them would buy FF7 Rebirth. I bet SE wouldn't even be able to recoup Xbox porting costs through Xbox sales

    Rumor Tom Warren reporting Avowed to be delayed to early 2025

    Bots are always bragging about having paid off their game pass subscriptions multiple years into the future, and meanwhile, Xbox has gone a whole year and released only 1 super niche and mediocre exclusive. Exhibit A of why it's a stupid decision to buy subscriptions in advance.

    News Xbox content and services soars as Xbox hardware continues to collapse.

    TBH, Gaz and the rest of the Xtards should be grateful that Satya didn't go in there and just totally close down everything Xbox related after the merger - he would have been well in his right to given how much of a catastrophe this has become thanks to Phil. Satya at least gave all these...
