Lewis Ward, IDC Research Director, predicts that the Xbox One X will ship 4 million units through 2018, while PlayStation 4 Pro will ship 5 million in the same timeframe.
He also said that the console is a great deal even at $500, as the components teardown points to a retail price of $600, so Microsoft might even be losing money on the hardware.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
That loss might explain the lack of pack-in software (it's just an additional licensing fee for software anyways?)
I see Playstation 4 Pro shipping more than 5 million if the marketing is good. As well as custom bundles/skins for the systems. That GT Sport and Rathalos ediiton are insane.
It's not like Sony or Microsoft will ever reveal the total numbers that each iterative console sold
I want one!
