Because of its $100 cheaper price, does the PS4 already win in the college student market?
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
400 bucks plus 50 for PSN Plus gives one a major advantage with the subscription based free game instant library.
I need to win the lottery to buy both!
College students buy what their friends buy.
PS4s.
"Let’s face it, college students don’t exactly have the best financial situation especially with how expensive going to school is these days. Between paying tuition, paying for living expenses, and other expenses like a cell phone and internet, for most college students the console war actually means something more than just hey *insert console here* is better because most of us don’t have the luxury of being able to get both systems."
If thats the case, why would a college student even be thinking about buying ANY next-gen console at launch? If price is such an important factor to these people, then wouldn't they be waiting for the first or second price drop before getting a console?
Its like saying that Applebees is a better option for homeless people than Peter Luger since its cheaper, when the reality is that neither are realistic options.
For a college student in a dorm room the xbone is not a good choice because of kinect which is basically useless in the environment.
