MCV - Decisions on how much the machine will cost and whether it will get a global launch ‘haven’t been taken yet,’ Sony Europe boss Jim Ryan told us last week.
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
The Nerd Stash: "The Wasteland is unforgiving, and there are a ton of brutal ways to die in the Fallout universe. We listed out the absolutely worst ones."
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
I want to buy my PS4 for 50 bucks
"But not all games retailers were impressed.
ShopTo CEO Igor Cipolletta said: “I was expecting a reveal like Apple’s. It would have said: ‘This week in store’. Sony still has a lot to learn.”"
Igor is not very smart guy, is he? 'This week in store' would have killed PS4's launch completely with only a couple of games available for the system.
I just want it in Australia for Xmas....Sony, release in Japan, Europe, Australia & NZ first & leave America until after you've accommodated your biggest audience.
Europe's population trashes America's, & even more importantly, PS products sell better in Europe than than the States.
Sony just keep screwing Europe/Aus/NZ in some vein hope & attempt to get American's on side & buying there product, when it just ain't gonna happen.
Many American's will stick with MS's consoles, because MS is an American company.....simple as that, simple patriotics. And MS know how to cater to the U.S. customer base, especially the younger generation that have grown up on big dumb shooters.
Many of Sony's exclusives are not so straight forward in genre definition, & such, & do not cater exclusively to the blood loving, shooter psyche that many American gamers are known for....Now, I'm not saying ALL American gamers are like this, as many probably miss platformers like Crash, Donkey Kong Country (SNES), Banjo, Medievil, Sonic (MD/Genesis), etc, etc, & many other examples of great games & genres that are now all but dead, thanks to the meteoric rise of war & sci fi based shooters.......but, as a collective hole, it is safe to say that America has a big market, & a big casual demographic that just love easily accessible, big, over the top, dumb, shooters lead by overly steroided, gravily voiced protagonists.
So, Sony should get it to us Aussies, Euro-trash & kiwi's before even bothering with the American's.
i think that price sounds realistic. Sony are working on the price cause for sure they learnt from PS3 very much.
A very sexy line up isn't enough if the console is prices too high because the PS3 still has some very serious titles coming out and for an affordable price.
i don't know for the 300 i believe that the price will be 350-400£ or 450-500euros. i wish to be wrong about the price!
