[Europe] PS5 leads the market with a 369% growth YOY, followed by Switch (down 18%) and then Xbox Series S and X (down 10%)

[Yurinka]

So the Capcom data for REmake 4 was shipped and it is not selling better than previous releases in EU at least.

The Capcom data for RE4R wasn't shipped, it was sold. And unlike the GSD data, the Capcom data was for worldwide sales.

Before this gen started im sure the plan was:

-subscription gaming will take off like netflix
-cloud gaming will take off sometime this gen
-series S will sell well because of price
-Series X will be the most powerful console
-halo infinite will be a launch title and be a return to form
-Acquisition's will help regain some market share and have some exclusives

I think their plan was:
-Make big acquisiions to catch up in consoles and game subs and to go more 3rd party multiplatform
-To highly grow during this gen their subscription with day one games from MGS and the acquired pubishers in both Xbox and PC, but still being far from Netflix, aiming for 50M at the end of the gen
-To start building their PS Now ripoff in terms of tech and catalog but not expecting to be something big and even less mainstream until at least after its first 10 years
-Series S would sell because of price as cheap gamepass console
-Series X would be the most powerful console
-All big IPs like Halo, Forza, Forza Horizon, Gears and big acquired ones that would more or less fit will move to GaaS focus
-In addition to give extra revenue and catalog, acquisitions would solve the lack of big 1st party releases, exclusives, prestige teams and IPs
-To end at least matching Sony in revenue and get closer in console installbase, MAU and game subs

All of this happening before Spiderman 2 and FF16 even hit.

Xbox is fucked this gen.

Also LMAO @ all the people that were calling for Jim Ryan's firing while back.

The console war this gen is officially over

Keep dreaming. He'll stay

I bet not. At the end when all their efforts were for nothing, Sony’s higher ups will say to him: “You wasted all our time, the deal has been approved. We paused all our acquisitions and didn’t do a proper showcase for two years” something like that I would imagine. With the result of ABK, Jim Ryan’s job is hanging on the line. Sony will need a scapegoat and it’s probably to be Jimbo.

I'll gift you 6 months of extra here if you're right.

“God of War came and went.”

What metric are these green rats using to define somethings like this? Forum discussions? I see them keep saying this like it’s a fact or something. They say it all the time about Sony first party single player games.

Just because Horizon and GoW are not being talked about on social media as much as when the games released does not in no way mean they ‘came and went.” That’s normal. The games are still selling. People are still playing them. Games don’t need constant updates and being talked about online to be considered relevant and successful. How did people like them survive the PS1 to PS3 generation before Twitter and YouTube?


Using their logic Hi Fi Lo quality Rush doesn’t exist. The difference is that game really did flop though. lol.

nah its that sealord of bravoos dumbass a poor xbots who its pretty antisony

I don't think the ABK deal had any effect on when they do their showcase. I think part of it is just that most of their major studios just got done launching PS4 games and just didn't have any PS5 stuff ready yet, along with being slowed down by covid. They also didn't feel any urgency due to how weak their competition in Xbox is.

 

[anonpuffs]

Damn lol, they might actually exceed their quarterly target by like 1m+... can't believe how good ps5 is doing

One more that had me in hysterics from the Reee version of this thread:

I think this will be Microsoft once they begin releasing games this gen. Q4’23 is gonna be big for them.

There are no exclusives coming out

 

[Loy310]

If thr Activision deal doesn't go through Microsoft is selling xbox. Mark my words

Sell? who the fuck is buying?
literal dog shit on a sidewalk is worth more.

Do you think they say these things with conviction or is it delusion?

If their bubble keeps getting burst, I do wonder the extent of the psychological damage...as they've made Microsoft and Xbox into their whole life... (some of them)

I'll give them a bag of chips for it

 

[Kokoloko]

I Xbox one is probably selling better than Xbox Series at this point despite it having a much cheaper Series S model.
Wheres that fool Aaron Greenberg with his pointless comparisons to Xbox 360 sales lol

 

[Ezekiel]

Jimbo will likely resign, because he put all his effort in trying to block this merger. When the deal gets approved he will view it as a personal defeat and retreat. Now the way will be all free for Urata Keiichiro. A new era is about to begin.

I appreciate a change to a Japanese CEO for PlayStation division.

I hope not, Jim's been great for PlayStation.

He had to deal with launching a console during a global pandemic and his main competitor spending billions on publishers and studios, and yet managed to keep the business not only competitive, but growing.

Results are what matters, not personal feelings.

They literally were suppose to have a huge blowout last year closer to fall. They didn't because of the ongoing deal and mainly had to do with their Developers catching a snag.

In like a month none of this will matter. Jim Ryan will go down in playstation history as the most profitable era they have had.

He's not going anywhere.

 

[SLB1904]

People want jimbo to go are crazy. Most of decisions come from Sony parent company.
Imagine if we get one of those nft fetishism ceo's

Im sure that post is in jest, if not, oh lawddddd lol

If rumors are true May there will be a big showcase, unless they want it in June? Now that MS is going in June, makes sense to have something in May.

June is so jam packed with titles I would want to showcase stuff before all that,

Jeff Grubb and a couple others were alluding to something closer. End of May or FIrst week of June before Summer Game fest. He;'s not the only person reporting on this.

The fact a lot of little stuff has leaked tells me a lot of these games, are going to be in it and most likely content/video has already been submitted.
