    Discussion Phil Spencer: There are no “red lines” for which Xbox games will come to PlayStation

    No more dancing or ostrich behaviour cause it's from the other execs. We already knew it but it is the whole slate. Xbox is going to focus on competing with the mobile storefront specifically on the handheld side vs Steam en Switch, they threw the towel vs Sony. Which he did publicly already...

    Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread

    Yeah that's the thing I don't think it is unfortunately, I mean it is a kid centric game I did not expect anything special. Maybe for the franchise director on his performance review at best, the other suits care for sales and profit margins not that I think it will do exceptional there either.

    Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread

    I expected it to be around 70 rated game, unfortunately the suits going to look at sales on this one cause that's what it is for. But excellent metrics for the suits thus far day one PC/multiplat: Concord, Until Dawn, HZ remastered, Lego Horizon.

    Discussion PS5 slim digital new MSRP : 379.99$ USD (until Christmas)

    Posted it on another topic but in at least Europe this bundle is 75 euro off for BF with exclusive skins and Vbucks, so the discount will apply for the drive version as well.

    Analysis UK October 2024: #1 PS5 (-18%) , #2 NSW (-18%), #3 XBS (-17%)

    Surprisingly competitive between Xbox and Switch. From what I understand, BO6 sold worse than MW3 but sold better on PS in comparison. Interesting metrics wo marketing on the PS side as well.

    Playstation Stellar Blade’s Nier: Automata DLC, Photo Mode launch Nov 20

    Side note Nier is basically inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Creators take/iterate and Yoko is always honest about this and he gave Kim his blessings hence also the collab. I hope it's not only dlc, cause we need a new game from Taro, I hope Sony/Nishino already threw a bag and he got...

    Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.

    I doubt it was bad wording since it's official press release but also I did not disagree about IP ownership, just that there is a broad grey area with variables that are not one and the same. That's why I gave that Spiderman example.

    Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.

    In public documents they have signed a 2nd party contract. Not my words, Sony's and Shift Up. I agree IP ownership moves closer to 1st party line, none closer to 3rd party line if you get more intricate in the 2nd party discourse. There's a grey area in the middle and variables in contractual...

    Playstation Sony says Astro Bot is contributing significantly to the widening of the PlayStation user base

    If it's something you bothered by and don't believe Astrobot appeals to different audience I won't stop you. I wouldn't put it in the meaningless camp tho, cause diversifying your library to appeal to new audiences for more revenue is a good signal to investors. They need steady content to grow...

    Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.

    We've had Layden on record on WUPS explaining the differences. I've posted this before not going to bother with the discussion, timestamp @17:37 Shift Up has an official 2nd party contract with Sony. We will have the Game Awards soon to confirm with PS domination that it's over as well.

    Playstation Sony says Astro Bot is contributing significantly to the widening of the PlayStation user base

    There's severe punishment as in jail time for misleading investors, in a strict country like Japan up to 10 years with fraud. Do they use stat padding to their benefit sure, MAU is meaningless unless they spend money, but in another sense someone who owns 4 Switch models but only plays one is of...

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    Nice reminder, I voted 1,5-2. I would'v been bit more bullish knowing MH is coming out within this fiscal for sure, back then the release date wasn't revealed.

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    Bill-bill leaked they are going to do promo of -75 for BF with Fortnite exclusive skins and Vbucks during the holidays. So 375 for the PS5 digital which is a great price considering the Switch (Oled) goes for 330 and Series S for 350.

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    It's going to do great in Japan, but I would argue it's going to break records worldwide. Not everyone is capable of buying a top tier premium rig cause it's a disaster regarding performance on PC. I think they are keeping it subdued for FY25 but internally are bullish of it reaching 100...

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    No gen is comparable, my comment in context is that Wii U came off the Wii and there were talks of them ending up as a 3rd party publisher if Switch failed. Nintendo has their own set of worries and issues for the future that I addressed to you in a different topic. My full comment rather was...
