ZoKnowsGaming writes "At no other time in history has there been such opportunity for console makers to drastically change the structure of the industry for the better and possibly increase their revenues at the same time. I am not and have never been a serious PC gamer but I think that all console gamers are ultimately seeking the customization and freedom of PC gaming but within their chosen console experience and technology finally exist to make that happen.
Whether or not the companies decide to do it or not is another question. Here are a few of the things that we think both the PlayStation 4 (PS4)(Orbis) or the Xbox 720 or whatever you want to call them need to have to start giving gamers the control they really want."
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
XDefiant was originally supposed to be out in summer 2023, but following a seemingly-successful beta test in April of that year, it was bumped to October 2023, and then delayed again to an unspecified future date. In its February 2024 financial report, Ubisoft slated XDefiant for launch in the fourth quarter of its 2023-24 fiscal year, which ended March 31.
A week before that date arrived, rumors surfaced that the game would be delayed yet again, and a few days later Ubisoft made it official.
"The game has always been community-first, with player feedback as a top priority," the development team said in the update. "While we hoped to go live by the end of March, there are still some improvements that we need to test before that."
Ubisoft said it's "finishing preparations" for a server stress test that will run for 12 hours on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. "After this short test, we expected to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future!"
The previous news was from the team/rumors this is ubisoft themselves now saying the game is delayed again no new date set but they will have a stress test on a date that has not been set.
So the game is delayed to _____ TBD
Network stress test at ____ TBD
Ubisoft we make games whenever for whoever we just do not care

I'm just going to be honest here and say what people seem to not want to, XDefiant success is going to be short-lived and it's because it's a game that's going to be under Ubisoft's umbrella. The development team can be absolute rockstars, but with Ubisoft steering the ship it's not going to go anywhere.
It could be a truely amazing game (it won't be) but with Ubisoft it will be monitized within a inch of its life.
The game is dead move on. It's the same with the Finals. These short period hype games doesn't last.
A new rumor suggests the next Xbox console is currently being tested by developers in South Korea.
If true, hopefully a fully fledged next gen console and not some unnecessary mid gen refresh system.
It could be that rumored Xbox portable, who knows
Could be the refresh console perhaps? I doubt it'll be the new console. Might be the portable rumored device.
Regardless the fact we're talking about new hardware already is absolutely pathetic. Barely any current gen stuff out and the stuff that is out or coming is at 30 fps or doesn't, doesn't look current gen and what have you.
All we're doing is chasing power and not creating the games to harness said power.
Worse generation so far easily.
It was reliably leaked just a month ago that MS hadn't signed contracts for next gen till literally weeks ago- the same leakers that correctly leaked that hi fi rush and pentiment and sea of thieves were going to ps5. So this is very very very unlikely- if not impossible. Also it's way too early....
Buy a fucking PC, then. Jesus Christ...
^ indeed, go to the PC route.
If your not knowledgeable to build a PC, have the store assemble it for you.
I don't think console gamers want that. Only the minority have never asked for it from what I have seen.
No.
Developers would then be forced to support multiple versions of consoles which will take away more of their polish time and lead to crappier games.
Not only that it will also complicate matters for customers and therefore receive less sales.
This is allround a horrible idea.
I don't think companies want consumers to have more control 0_o
