It's because of taxes, price of PS5 is unknown in Turkey

UnSelf1449d ago

They calculated the value of an Xbox in turkey?

2020 is weird af

JackBNimble1449d ago

No, it's because the currency value is low, they are still pay $500usd.

Ashen_Zero1449d ago

No They are not. Because of taxes, they pay around 1050€. Turkey is located as European region.

somethingcool871449d ago

well doesn't really matter, they earn and spend in liras. the console will cost about 7500 liras, and the minimum wage is 2300 liras a month. imagine if you made $2000 and the consoles cost was $7000. How insane would that be.

JackBNimble1449d ago

What? Turkey's currency is the lira not the euro and they are not part of the EU , not yet anyway.

xer01449d ago

The Turks just have to fly or take a boat to Rhodes - Greece (EU) - and they can get it for cheaper.

Hardware and Electronics are expensive in Turkey, however, $1,200 is outrageous.

badz1491449d ago

not gonna sell many of it anyway, better make money off it LOL

medman1449d ago

If I lived in Turkey, I would be less upset at the price of electronics, and more upset at the fact I live in Turkey. Seek freedom from persecution my friends. At all cost.

They'll probably drop the price of the new Xbox in more parts of the world, like they did in Japan and Middle East.

RPGer1449d ago

Exactly xbox one x is $340 everywhere I live and no bidy is buying it except for those who want to feel different than PS4 or want to play Forza Horizon.

CantThinkOfAUsername1449d ago

They need to, to be honest. The Middle East has been PlayStation-locked so far.

CptDville1449d ago

Not much different for the price in Brazil. Both ps5 and Xbox Series X are sold for 5 k Reais, which today corresponds to about 1k USD.

Vengeance11381449d ago

PS5 i'd say is also insanely expensive even in Canada. Cost about $720 after taxes.

Nintendo Accused of 'Bullying' in Weak Patent Dispute Over Palworld

The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.

Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.

Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.

That's the thing, this is why we're now seeing more serious competitors in the genre. Game Freak has just been coasting by, doing the bare minimum in innovation for the last 20+ years. They need to get with the times. Hire more devs, give more dev time to foster creativity, etc. But now that they can't get away with that bare minimum they're trying to sue their competitors out of existence. It's disgusting.

gold_drake20h ago

been saying this since sun and moon.

gamefreak just isnt used to, still isnt used to, the console market. they did well on the handheld space but as a complete 3d developer z they fail miserable

the last two pkmn gens look like gamecube games. not to mention the bugs at launch.

but uve seen the ridiculous anount of copies sold at launch too.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Realistically though palworld Pokemon with guns featured so many themes and concepts that Nintendont
There's no way they would make a game where you could use realistic weapons or have pals slaving away.

They're not the same genre at all they just feature similar characters

FinalFantasyFanatic1h ago

I pretty much agree, two editions of the same game shouldn't even been a thing at this point. The foundations are solid, but the lack of content and having a lived in world really let the latest games down.

posting articles from msn.com now seriously?

The article is actually Gamesradar's. MSN just used their page like a URL shortened link.

It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.
