"The Playstation 4 sold better this quarter than ALL of its competitors combined. Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for a whole new monopoly in the gaming arena, if one does not face you already."
Gaz from Gameondaily asks what the PS4's continued domination in the gaming industry means for the Xbox One.
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
IGN: "If our two-hour hands-on preview is any indication of the rest of the game, then Visions of Mana's fresh take on battle and class systems not only gives it the potential to meet the success of the originals but possibly even the chance to surpass them."
It means nothing yet for Xbox One because MS's big hitters have yet to arrive. The big question will be how much (if any) of the gap will close after Halo, Forza & Tomb Raider release this year (along with whatever bundles go along with them).
If Xbox One is still losing ground come January, after their big games come out, then they need to worry. But the gap right now is BARELY 2:1 (25.3 - 13), and that's AFTER Sony's big Batman deal, and BEFORE Halo 5.
It's true that Sony still has some big games to come, like Uncharted and eventually Gran Turismo. However, if by then MS makes up some ground, or even just keeps pace, the ratio will drop considerably. After all, MS has already announced several potential AAA titles for next year, so it's not like they have nothing after this holiday.
Lets say MS sells exactly the same number of Xbox One's over the next year as Sony sells PS4's. The gap won't close, but the ratio will drop. That would put PS4 at 38 million or so, and Xbox One at 26 million or so. It's still a 12 million gap, but it would be only a 1.5:1 ratio, far less than the 2:1 it currently is.
A true monopoly is the 6:1 advantage PS2 had over the original Xbox and Gamecube.
Xbox has lost this generation but they are still in a good position.. Sonys monopoly right now still won't afford them exclusives like pro evo and Gta like they Did with ps2 and aslong as Xbox owners still get all third party games everyone should be happy.
Its a great time to be a ps4 owner and a Xbox one owner simple as that...
It means the Xbox One will remain in second place to the PS4 based on WW numbers, but it'll be a lot closer in North America and the United Kingdom.
One thing people need to consider is that the PS4 is selling so well even without a price cut, that is the crazy part about all this.
The PS2 in the day hit its stride when it received its price cut & that was when the sales of it exploded. The PS4 is not there yet but what happens when it does get its price cut, will we see the same kind of explosion in sales.
It's great that Microsoft has such a strong fall/winter lineup but to be honest it is the same lineup they have had for years. You got Halo, Gears, Forza the same big 3 almost every year. You can't always rely on these games all the time & be successful all the time.
Sony may not have a huge 1st party lineup for the fall/winter but their partnerships with 3rd parties will alleviate that until those 1st party games are ready. The COD, Star Wars, MGS5 deals are huge & may be the equalizer to Microsofts big 3.
It'll be interesting thats for sure.
It means that Microsoft will keep pushing, innovate and bring more exclusives to the console. It means that the Xbox One will be a pretty interesting console for gamers in the end. Kinda like PS3 last year.
