Today is a big day for gamers the world over, but especially Xbox 360 owners who’ve been wanting to play a game from legendary developers Insomniac Games, but couldn’t because they don’t own a PS3. Well now things have changed, drastically and thanks to new deal between Insomniac and EA Partners, they’ll now be able to experience Insomniac’s new effort on the Xbox 360.
Marvel's Spider-Man villain DLC potentially spotted via the debug menu that surfaced from the New Game+ title update released recently.
Ahmed from eXputer writes "Video game leaks have become a major cause of concern for Triple-A studios, as they're becoming increasingly malicious and dangerous."
In a leaked Sony Interactive Entertainment presentation, the company declares that including first-party games on PS Plus has had a “big” effect on “traditional sales.” As an example, the company mentioned that Horizon Forbidden West‘s sales “flat-lined” immediately after being added to PS Plus.
Also really interesting to see through to one of the sites they link to (Resetera) that the 2 cross gen titles in Miles Morales and Ghosts of Tsushima sold over 40% each of their first year in year 2, almost double what even the best performing games like GOW 2018 and Spider-Man did. Kinda seeing the cold hard numbers makes it really clear why they did cross gen games and remastered some of the later PS4 games to PS5 Directors Cuts.
"“In year 1, Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West were very comparable,” the presentation reads. “HFW was included into PS Plus at the start of Year 2. HFW saw an enormous influx of PS Plus players, but at the cost of flat-lining the game activations from retail sales.”"
So, the data shows there were fewer traditional sales, but it doesn't show us anything about how many people joined PS+? It does say there was an influx of HFW players, but it doesn't state how many of these players owned PS+ to begin with.
To conclude that it negatively sales is correct, but it doesn't mean less money is made. We cannot draw that conclusion until we know how many more people joined PS+ because of HFW.
MS's bet is that although it lowers traditional sales, it makes the services more appealing and millions of new people will subscribe if they see that good games are added to the service. And in the end, the subscription profit (not revenue) will outpace that of the traditional sales.
However even after 6 years they still haven't reached that point lmao
know there taking the micky i would inprint ps3 on the so they feel at home and a lil joke lol
hope 360 gamers enjoy what insomniac has to offer...
Um 360 owners that reall really wanted to play Insomniac games probably owen a PS3 and or PS2. and Insomniac will probably make the game with the PS3 as the lead SKU which will make the 360's port inferior to the PS3. the days where the PS3 recieved bad ports is coming closer to an end and the 360 is taking its spot.
Wow these people really like to rub it in your face!
Notice how when Bungie went multi plat Sony was just like "cool". But when Insomniac goes multi plat Microsoft are so excited that they can't stop talking about it and Major Nelson wants to personally deliver the dev kit.
