    Discussion Dragon Quest 3 remake sales split shows concerning signs for PS if they don’t do anything about it in Japan

    Well, if Sony ends up acquiring Kadokawa & From Software, I don't think they're going to go for Square-Enix and IMO I don't think they would need Square-Enix in that scenario since it'd potentially be redundant. As for getting exclusivity to DQ games, that's not gonna happen. For one that IP...

    No offense but you're just helping retards like that get traffic by linking them. Never even heard of them until your post and wish it had stayed that way. This is where SIE's ignoring of cultivating a community presence with enthusiasts spaces and Western games media hurts them: idiots like...

    Discussion (GSD) European Sales October 2024: Sharp drop in Call of Duty sales (premium sales) on Xbox platforms as a result of the Game Pass inclusion

    They were at roughly 25 million sold-through at the start of this year. At best, they're at 26.5-27 million sold-through as of this month. It's been horrid for them, absolutely horrid on the console sales front.

    TBF there's no reason Spiderman 2 needed a $300 million budget, especially when the first game's budget was under $100 million. That's a ballooning of costs for other factors well beyond inflation, so I wouldn't mind if for Spiderman 3 they got the budget down to $200 million or even less...

    I don't think most of them are real PlayStation fans. Just terminally online console warriors and a lot of them probably didn't even really jump into PlayStation until the PS4 era. A lot of the genuine fans, I'd say we're interested and excited to see what happens with all of this, but also...

    Rumor Sony's PS6 will use AMD's UDNA GPU architecture and ZEN5 or ZEN6 for CPU. Sony's upcoming handheld will also use AMD hardware.

    PS Portal kind of proves you're wrong on this, as it's been alternating with the DualSense Edge as best-selling peripheral in many markets every month since release. The convenience of taking your console gaming on the go is too strong to ignore, and most console owners aren't obsessed over...

    Discussion Kadokawa stocks have risen $1.1B in the last 5 days

    Reuters is also owned by a parent company who had shares in the London Stock Exchange, and sold those to Microsoft early last year. So if it was leaked to the benefit of some American company, most likely it was Microsoft. But also word has it that Kakao wants to do a hostile takeover hence...

    Rumor Sony's PS6 will use AMD's UDNA GPU architecture and ZEN5 or ZEN6 for CPU. Sony's upcoming handheld will also use AMD hardware.

    Astro Bot literally exists. In this specific case I don't think a hybrid would work. SIE'd either need to go absolutely ham with PCIe 6.0 interconnect lanes (which will be costly, and still have latency issues meaning you'd need more raw power overhead between connected components to offset...

    Big M&As between Japanese companies seem to always leak in some way quite ahead of a deal closing. These people are actual brainlets.

    Discussion UK Sales: Week 46, 2024

    This is just physical; with digital factored in there's a good chance DQIIIR outsold it in the UK. It's certainly outsold it even just physical-only in Japan. You can exclude Switch if you want; result is the same, especially with PC factored in. PC might be another reason it outsells LEGO...

    Rumor Sony's PS6 will use AMD's UDNA GPU architecture and ZEN5 or ZEN6 for CPU. Sony's upcoming handheld will also use AMD hardware.

    Not that much different than the original. 1: Microsoft's going for a PC handheld-style device. It'll be compatible with Xbox software binaries but it's really a bridge to solidifying their gaming space through Windows. They won't have the volumes of Nintendo or Sony. 2: Sony's handheld will...

    TBH, if Sony end up acquiring Kadokawa & From Software, they don't really need Square-Enix. Yes for bragging purposes saying you own Final Fantasy & Dragon Quest would be big, and SE seem on an upward trend these days between Rebirth, RS2R and DQIIIR.... ...but that said, Kadokawa & From...

    Don't do this, pete 😂 Outlets like Reuters and Nikkei Asia weren't reporting on this the other times. The latter in particular, lends a pretty good credence something might be happening. There's a chance this one might have leaked due to some insider trading and, well, I hope they're ready...

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    I don't think Herman is steering the ship on this M&A; after all it's Sony Corp making the move, not SIE. So I'd say Totoki is probably the one headlining things, and other head members of Sony Japan like Kenichiro Yoshida. Which would make sense, considering Kadokawa's a Japanese company. I...

    Hoeg's Law is a dumbass and Microsoft shill. IIRC he also has family who work at Microsoft. Kinda like Judge Corley. And like her I'm 100% sure such a fact doesn't impact Hoeg's analysis or judgement against perceived competitors of their $3 trillion mega-conglomerate whatsoever.

    Now, I still don't necessarily like consolidation, particularly given what's been happening in gaming the past few years. However, and even though I've been quite critical of SIE lately....I think them acquiring Kadokawa would be a smart move, and eventually work out better than certain other...

    News Lego Horizon Adventure sales are not looking good...

    No it doesn't, this is a lie. Its peak CCU is well under the average of modern LEGO games; it's barely ahead of some of the 360/PS3-era LEGO games that got late ports to Steam (or if they weren't late ports, got Steam releases when the platform was in its relative infancy). It's likely closer...

    All I know is, I'm gonna try copping it Day 1 if I can. Just give me decent storage space for the pricier SKU. And hopefully, no stick drift issues like with the original.

    Discussion this video resumes how Nintendo Switch 2 and the upcoming PlayStation handheld are gonna be able to run everything with AI upscailling

    And by the time GTA6 comes out, Switch 2 will probably have a userbase of 15 million, possibly more. By the time a Switch 2 port would be ready, that userbase would likely be double in size or close to it (assuming a H1 2025 launch for Switch 2 and mid/late 2026 port of GTA6). So where the...
