Push Square: "The PlayStation Store is big business for Sony. While software continues to retain a retail presence, we’re teetering perilously on the edge of a dramatic swing towards digital – and the PlayStation 4’s premium plaza is poised to clean up. The Japanese giant already rakes in unfathomable sums of money through the online storefront, and with such big bucks swirling, we reckon it’s time that the platform holder enhanced the entire shopping experience."

PS5 gamers seem to be buying fewer games but spending more on DLC and microtransactions.
Tell my wallet that, I've bought so many games in the last 2 months. Microtransactions, and dlc not so much
I bought the third party exclusives and not a single multiplateforme game..
maybe Sony comparing with PS4 at the same period, where many more 1st party games were out now
And no, no DLC. Micro transactions never bought never will
careful, they are comparing It to ps4, showing 12% decline in games for ps5 console at this point in its life.
problem, ps5 is couple million down in sales, (citing this as evidence: https://www.vgchartz.com/ar... due to people not upgrading from ps4 yet, shortages, expenses, whatever, so maybe they are buying the exact same amount of games per console, but just there 2 million less consoles in general. sony themselves said they are 4 million down on expected consoles sold.
indeed, if ps5 was 5 million down, that would be 10 per cent less consoles, easy maths, but okay lets make a calculated guys, this 12% decline, is in reality a 6% decline because there are just less consoles at this point in its life vs ps4
ALSO: game content add-ons, 175% increase, who the hell is buying outfits fore the charters and stuff, waste of money, kids these days , pfft
I was hoping to see more games to get excited about during State of Play. Love Astro Bot, but that’s it.
If they put out more games, I'm sure the figures would be a bit different, the PS4 had more exclusives games at this point in both console's life cycles. So I guess that just leaves people to spend more on the games they do have to play.
There are 5 exclusive games out so far this year. Concord, Astrobot and Silent Hill 2 left and could be more.
I don't know if they had more exclusives on the PS4 at year 4 but 8 exclusives is a good number.
I really like the cart option the PS store has and I wish MS would add this to their own marketplace. Sometimes I see a game and pit it in the cart to save for later when I have the funds. It would be cool if MS had an option to mark a game to return to it for purchase.
"must improve"
Given their position right now i don't think they MUST do anything different than they already are. I think a better name for the title could be something like this "5 ways the Playstation store could improve in 2018"
I'm in the minority here, but I actually still prefer the old PSN store used during the early days of the PS3's lifecycle. It was quick, concise, and responsive.
The only other thing I wished Sony improves and work on is the download speed from PSN when downloading games.
Just completely change it. Ever since this style was introduced it has been a nightmare to navigate and just plain look at...and that search scroll, who was the drunk who thought of that?
Just give me the option to gift games or funds to someone, would love to gift my friend living in another state something cool for his birthday or christmas
