    Discussion Why the PS5 Pro is absolutely necessary

    If Sony decide to release PS6 in 2027/2028 then I dont think it is necessary but I with PS5 pro I hope PS6 didnt came out until 2030. Game is taking too long and too expensive to make.

It is better for Sony to revive their own franchise (Killzone, Resistance, Twisted Metal, Ape Escape, Soul Sacrifice, Sly Cooper, Gravity Rush, LBP, Dark Cloud, or just create new one. Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon both start as new IP and they sell more than any...

    Discussion Xbox Business update next week

    I think not all will be multiplat. Halo, Gears, Forza will probably remain exclusive. Everything Bethesda and ABK will be multiplat or maybe at least timed exclusive.
