Could the Current Xbox Rumours Work in the PS4's Favour?

Push Square: "You probably shouldn’t believe everything that you read online. We’re in what’s commonly referred to in other industries as the ‘silly season’ right now, an exciting period of speculation where even the most ridiculous rumours take on heightened meanings. With new next generation platforms looming, everyone wants a piece of the pie; that undeniably leads to a barrage of misinformation, speculation, and overreactions. But could the latest round of conjecture surrounding Microsoft’s impending machine help the PlayStation 4, regardless of whether it turns out to be true or false?"

except on the forums and i dont see anyone talking about the next consoles, and to be honest i honestly think the xbox is the console with the most consumer loyalty out of the 2...i come to this conclusion as a single player gamer preference who sees absolutely no reason for people to own a 360 bar the witcher 2 and alan wake and a few online modes in games like forza and halo 3

You don't need an Xbox to play The Witcher 2 and Alan Wake. I also don't see the brand loyalty for Xbox that you speak of. MS has lost hardcore gamers by the millions and millions because of their obsession with casuals.

I doubt either side will make that fatal of a mistake.

Arrogance leads to horrible decisions so I guess we will soon find out.

Can't help anyone until its confirmed

A prediction: Americans will buy the 720, while Europeans and Japanese will buy PS4. Startling revelation, eh?

jmc88884090d ago

Americans will still buy their Wii U's, 720's, PS4's, build their own PC's, buy premade PC's, ipad's, cellphones, etc, etc.

300+ million Americans means lots of different tastes.

Doesn't mean much. Most people tracking this news are not MSFT fans and they will believe the best rumors for Playstation and only except the worst xbox rumors.

I predict many articles trying to spin the desrtuctoid rumors that actually match the leaked 720 docs that are mostly ignored by anti MSFT forum goers.

Article Translation

Believe the rumors showing the weaker 720 with features that are supposedly hated and ignore the destroid rumor that matches the leaked docs that MSFT had pulled from the web LOL.

Here go with the 10x more powerful than a super computer,4D, 1080p, 120fps bs again.

Even the article itself is a propaganda piece edited in a way to get the most people to read the spin article.

You can tell the agenda because it takes bits and pieces of each rumor showing PS4 in the best light and using only the parts of the 720 rumors that show the things fanboys are attacking ignoring(not mentioning) the stuff that is actually got the haters mad/worried/in spin mode.

The destructiod article was voted fake/false by hundreds of N4G members not because they wanted the "supposed" bad things not to be true but because they couldn't handle the the insider saying the 720 was extreamly powerful showing the specs in the article.

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, but PS Plus users might be left disappointed

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.

Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).

So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.

Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.

In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞

PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.

Bethesda themselves acknowledged that Plus users are eligible. There is just some kind of glitch and they are working to fix it.

I think a hard copy should be relatively cheap at this point.

Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.

P_Bomb2h ago

North America sale just ended. The timing for me absolutely blows.

So if I insert my ps4 disc I should get the upgrade?

This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.
