    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    Yeah agreed, only mentioned Xbox one to show the contrasting hardware numbers and trends for Xbox and PS this gen. PS5 to sell above the successful PS4 (by March 2024) SS/SX selling below the "disaster" Xbone PC Day and date killing Xbox console sales PC 2+ year later releases and PS5 is...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    I'm gonna try to cut through the waffle and take things back to basics. PlayStation are here to sell hardware and software. This we can all agree. I'm leaving subs out for now to simplify things. The aguments essentially boils down to: 2+ year PC ports negatively affects PlayStation hardware...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    Thought as much. I give you the opportunity to actually back-up any of your claims and you choose to condescend. I get it. you and many on this forum that hold the same opinion are strongly opposed to the current direction at PS. Jim’s head should be on a tall spike rotting in the California sun...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    I have a myopic view and don’t understand business 😂 So do tell, what metric are you using to quantify that they’re making the PS5 useless? There must be some real world data you can show to back up your augment. Also anything to back up how it destroyed the value of every Sony IP would be a...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    It’s not about how long the 2 year window will hold, the length of the window is what makes the business model work. A hypothetical reduction to the window makes no sense unless it had zero harm to hardware sales. Which it could so they won’t obviously. The suggestion that Sony would jeopardise...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    Exactly, everyone knows one of the biggest worries in todays gaming is the sustainability of funding big AAA games costing hundreds of millions plus marketing costs on top. PlayStation have created an aftermarket for their games on PC mitigating some financial risk. They may not sell gangbusters...

    Discussion PlayStation 1st party games $60 on PC and $70 on PS5.

    Not sure what your point is, said it yourself those games can be bought at a discount on PS5 right now so….just, do, that?! Also can anyone help me understand how it benefits you or PlayStation to remove the PC ports from steam. I’m struggling to think of a good reason other than I WaNt mY TrUe...

    Xbox Forza Motorsport's Lack Of Split-Screen Was A Creative Decision, Phil Spencer Says

    He really has no shame. The devs already explained weeks ago it was due to technical reasons, they couldn't get it to work so dropped split screen. Nothing to do with usage. Just lie after lie.

    Discussion Sony hires former MS 1st party business manager as a business finance manager

    It wasn’t Sony’s strategy before but you’re right they might need to change as MS are allowed to continue the pay-to-win strategy under the guise of bringing games to more people. Something not so easy to say next time as Sony rolls out its own full scale cloud gaming initiative.

    Discussion Sony hires former MS 1st party business manager as a business finance manager

    100% agreed about the showcase felt the same too, in fact I agree with your entire post. However giving more attention to gaas games doesn’t take anything away from the single player games in development. I think it’s reasonable to suggest there will come a time fairly soon where Sony opens the...

    Discussion Sony hires former MS 1st party business manager as a business finance manager

    I don’t understand your criticism of Sony gaas games. If it’s 2 or 12 shouldn’t matter, if multiplayer gamings not your bag just ignore them. You never know, maybe you’ll like them but that shouldn’t stop Sony for expanding and that’s the key word expanding and catering to multiplayer gamers...

    Discussion Sony hires former MS 1st party business manager as a business finance manager

    Sony deserved the criticism after such a long wait between showcases gamers including myself expected more. But they’re not forcing anyone to play gaas only offering it to the huge market of players that do enjoy it. I shouldn’t need to point something so obvious out. Company makes A, now...

    Discussion Sony hires former MS 1st party business manager as a business finance manager

    I don’t want to speak for Yurinka but this site has become filled with quite frankly irrational Sony doom and gloomers with opinions based not on reality, instead prefer to get worked up over stuff made up in their heads (or reading twitter). It’s almost wilful ignorance at this point and...

    News UK Market: PS5 Sales Up 68%, PS4 Sales Are Also Up 331% So Far This Year, DualSense Is The Best-Selling Accessory. PlayStation Remains The Market Lead

    With MS reinforcing its Stadia-like advertising message with ‘NO CONSOLE REQUIRED’ seems It’s only a matter of time for the hardware. Certainly doesn’t build trust in Microsoft’s continued support as a console maker.

    Discussion What will sell more Spiderman 2 or Starfield?

    You could do this all day I can tell. The game releases on BOTH dates one of which coincides with Starfield. That's all I've been trying to say.

    Discussion What will sell more Spiderman 2 or Starfield?

    This is the reason I replied, the PS5 version will release same day as Starfield. Which you disputed. I also think its a smart move. Regarding sales I can't see Starfield getting anywhere close to Spider-man 2

    Discussion What will sell more Spiderman 2 or Starfield?

    So you really want to double down on this. And I'm a adult no need for the juvenile talk. You could have easily double checked this yourself instead of me having second hand cringe for you telling others to do research. https://www.polygon.com/23777252/baldurs-gate-3-new-release-date-pc-ps5 PC...

    Discussion What will sell more Spiderman 2 or Starfield?

    You sound so certain, but obviously missed the updated PS5 release date to release same day as Starfield. Would appear they're not worried about getting buried at all.

    Xbox Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

    Sarah Cardell let me down bad. Can admit to being proud to see the CMA an independent regulator working outside of political influence holding its own and blocking the deal with clear fair reasoning. To then find out not only have they been swayed but literally arguing with both parties' lawyers...
