Seems like websites are going to extreme lengths to offer their "critical insight" into the next gen. There's just nothing to talk about so we get these vapid, ridiculously obvious posts.

It doesn't matter because sony is leading the pack. lol

It doesn't matter because Sony and MS will not be able to ship enough consoles to meet demand.

It is going to be all about who can produce consoles more for the first 3 months.

OrangePowerz3836d ago

DC as example unfortunately suffered from not being able to compete with the amount of games the competition got for their console. Something the Wii U is struggling with as well. The PS4 and Xbone will be the go to consoles for Publishers and Developers to release all of their future games on. There won`t be any bigger game not coming to those two consoles unlike what we see with the Wii U, where this year games like Tomb Raider, Bioshock and GTA 5 have been absent from. Nintendo would be completely lost without their 1st party games that roll out relatively slow due to the smaller amount of teams they have. Sony and MS have a far healthier mix of 1st party games and 3rd party games.

If those two consoles would fail (not going to happen) many Publishers and developers would close because they need. The Wii U is a different case because the majority didn`t need Nintendo for a very long time now as it`s been ages since 3rd parties did well on their consoles and that`s not where their audience is and PC only sales wouldn`t cut it in most cases.

Didn't the Wii u sell out at launch? Then struggled to sell every unit after that..

Nobody can predict the future.. Although I think demand is pretty healthy for x1 and ps4.. Once price cuts start happening, sales will take off further...

Most dony buy day 1.. Im 31 and this will be the first time ive ever done it.. Same goes for a few friends... I think thr 7-8 year wait will actually make more people jump on thr day 1 bandwagon then in previous generations

Like it matter. According to N4G and NeoGAF, you're a idiot if you don't get a Playstation only.

Gamer6663835d ago (Edited 3835d ago )

If I relied on N4G and NeoGAF for my consumer choices I would be an idiot.

ghostrider323835d ago

Trust me I don't let neither website dictate what I should buy. It's just funny how they try to dictate what makes you a real gamer.

DEEBO3835d ago

I love my games and systems but i'm not going to be a sucker and waste my money on console that's not better then the other.

MS will do a price drop by next E3 then i will pick one up.
but lets not act like this is a ps3 with a bluray player inside it.

Kinect is not worth 100 dollars more then a ps4 even with MS snap app.
The best feature to me is a vita,ps4 combo.
MS has nothing to really match sony in that department and smartglass is not the answer.
I will have all the systems but i can wait on the x1 and plus i'm not getting burn again with bad hardware(RROD)

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.

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

ocelot071h ago

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

P_Bomb1h ago

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

Hofstaderman33m ago(Edited 33m ago)

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.

REVIEW: Sand Land faithfully adapts to game form a lesser known Akira Toriyama creation | Showmetech

From Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, Sand Land is a fun adaptation of the manga and anime in videogame form. For all of its simplicity and repetition, it's a beautiful interpretation of the source material.
