    Discussion Xbox is dying at a rapid pace. last quarter - #PS5 sold 4.5m, Series X/S est 800k. PS5 sold 5.6x more!

    At this point, what I don't get is how they saw this happening and still pushed forward with the ABK acquisition. Hey look at this downward spiral of a business that we have. Let's just throw SEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS at it. Are Microsoft's execs idiots? What did they think was going to happen?

    Discussion PC gamers HATE Sony and PlayStation on an irrational level

    They can't. They all run out of money each time they decide to buy a new mid-range Nvidia GPU every 2 years.

    Discussion Helldivers 2 sold 12m as of may 5th 2024, it’s the fastest selling PS First Party game ever.

    Yeah, the movie for this already exists and everybody knows it. If they keep supporting the game with new content and send away the guy that is currently doing all the fun-killing nerfs weapon balancing, this game is 100% going to sell well above 20 million copies.

    Discussion PC gamers HATE Sony and PlayStation on an irrational level

    And they would, had they not been spoiled by GamePass and 50% discounts on a Steam sale just 3 months after release.

    Discussion PC gamers HATE Sony and PlayStation on an irrational level

    PC gamers hate Playstation because Sony actually gatekeeps great single-player games that they really want to play, without the live-service and mtx crap that Ubisoft and EA continuously push down their throat. It's a testament to Playstation's 1st-party quality of output.

    Xbox What developer will be shut down by Microsoft next?

    For certain? On the contrary. I'm happy that Microsoft gets to destroy mostly shitty studios through their bad management. Microsoft buying Activision-Blizzard was a much lesser offense than buying IdSoftware, Arkane, Tango and Obsidian.

    Xbox What developer will be shut down by Microsoft next?

    I bet they're going to lose a bunch of buyers from the forced letterbox thing alone. Who am I kidding? No one was going to buy this game in the first place. They're just going to try it on a month of Gamepass and never look at it ever again.

    Discussion Stephen Totilo - Nintendo, Microsoft, Square welcome us to the era of fewer big video games

    Stop paying for DEI consultancy and staff and slash 30% of your costs, then. This is hyperbole, but wasn't Spider Man that had a writing staff of like 6 people and for Spider Man 2 they had like 50? And the first game's writing was so much better.

    Playstation @Sony should stop using AMD chips and instead partner with Nvidia for PlayStation 7

    AMD is preparing Strix Halo, a PC APU that competes with the M4 Max. It's a 40-100W laptop chip with 16 Zen5 + 4 Zen5LP cores, support for up to 128GB LPDDR5X 256bit and an embedded GPU with 32MB LLC that should put the PS5 and Series X to shame at 16 TFLOPs (32 TF dual-issue). Radeon GPUs...

    Discussion [PCgamer] AMD's gaming graphics business looks like it's in terminal decline

    AMD has been ruling DIYs for years. Intel's marketshare has only been kept by all the inertia that exists in B2B deals. I think this will only change drastically when some of the "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM Intel" crowd get fired for choosing Intel. It will happen and probably...

    News [DF] “Microsoft seems to be helping on destroying its own credibility” Richard Leadbetter on the latest DF Direct

    At ~25m50s, John seems to have an epiphany on what many people have known for years, that GamePass and similar services have steadily been eroding the perception of value that people give to videogames and that's one of the main precursors of the current shrinking market.

    Discussion does PS5 need a price drop? will we see PS5 being sold for $299 this gen?

    Console sales have slowed down and an economic crisis is looming over many western countries (especially Europe) so yes. Sony needs to lower the price of the PS5 to increase adoption. It'll probably happen with the introduction of the PS5 Pro. IMO it should be like 300-350€ discless PS5...

    News Stellar Blade debuts at #1 in Japan! It sold 67,131 physical units in its first 2 weeks on sale

    So after toning down a bit on saving democracy because it was taking too many hours of sleep from me, I can now proudly say I'm now eager to take all the sidequests I can get my hands on in Xion. And in the process of doing so, I'm sleeping too little.

    That could be more interesting, but then they'd need to get WB out of their current humongous mess.

    Discussion The Doom & Gloom posting is out of control

    Most of the Doom & Gloom posts/threads are actually only coming from one single user with a very focused agenda. Paramount brings a bunch of IPs to which Sony can claim exclusivity in videogames: - Top Gun - Mission Impossible - TMNT - Transformers - Jack Ryan - GI Joe - Star Trek - A Quiet Place

    Nintendo Switch 2 rumor |OT| launch at $400. |UP| Successor to switch will be announced at end of fiscal year.

    Digital Foundry just released a video where they test the RTX 2050 Mobile downclocked to 750MHz. Like I estimated above, this is about half the original clock of 1400MHz which is what they estimate to be Switch 2's docked performance. A couple of points: 1 - Save for VRAM-limited...
