85% of Game Pass subscribers are on console.
I feel like it was more to be like, yes it exists... happy? =P
It hasn't grown to the rate that would have justified putting all their first-party games on the service and courting high profile indie and third-party AAA games. Microsoft figured that everyone would openly embrace the 'Netflix of gaming' model but it's been largely rejected and it has stagnated in growth. To make matters worse, collapsing console sales meant way fewer opportunities for new Game Pass subscribers. All of this is why MS ostensibly sees Sony and Nintendo as mor...
Not surprised at all. PS5 had severe supply constraints and cost more than the Switch 2.
im more concerned about Perfect Dark. where is it? it's been five years since it was announced.
this could be sony's game sharing moment from e3 all those years ago. keep the prices at $70 for the remainder of the generation.
But will it sell well? Let's see if everyone that was bemoaning this title as a PS5 exclusive now has the balls to back it up and purchase this game on Xbox. This game sold over 3 million copies in three days on PS5 alone. Let's see how many Xbox players will show up.
If only these things mattered tbh. Sony hasn't had a showcase of similar magnitude in over two years and yet its the Xbox marketshare that's dwindling. PS5 sales are still going very strong while Xbox Series sales have completely cratered.
Then why not do this for every game deal? This is where your logic falls apart. You can't explain why THIS game above all others was told to shut up about their deal. Wouldn't Sony have more to gain if say a larger, more well-known title was told to keep hush about exclusivity? From a logic perspective it doesn't make any sense and no one here can give me and answer that does. The reality is that much like Baldur's Gate 3, this developer needed a bit more time to get the Serie...
It doesn't need to.
Maybe selling 25 million units gave them the resources to devote the time and energy to optimize it. It was also the team's first console game. I'm just saying, throwing an entire system under the bus just to hide an exclusively deal especially when games like Forspoken, FF16, Remake and Rebirth, Silent Hill 2 and countless others, always state that their exclusively is limited, makes no sense. Again, why would this one game matter that much to hide a deal? Someone has yet to make a c...
Someone has yet to explain to me why Sony wouldn't market a game that went on to sell 25 million copies as a console exclusive. Also, the developers threw the Series S under the bus to cover up this deal? That just invites bigger problems, especially if it was a fabrication. Sony isn't shy when it comes to broadcasting the games it has timed deals with, why exactly would this one game be the exception to the rule? I still don't buy it, and launching a year later on Xbox doesn'...
HECK YEAH IT IS! this went from a maybe to a Day 1!
Depends on which games. DOOM didn't do so hot. Neither did Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, Age of Mythology, or Pentiment. Sea of Thieves did very really, and I'd imagine Forza and maybe Indiana Jones did well too. Gears will also do very well.
Going by Sony's recent pattern with these things, we can expect a first-party something at the very end.
what do you mean? im a gay guy and i loved the shit out of this game. what worldview do you think i have?
Dated? The game is a looker, and in more ways than one. It's especially more impressive considering that this is the team's first console game.
I still don't see the point of a next-generation Xbox tbh. No one wants an Xbox now. Less than five years into this generation and Xbox console sales have fallen off a cliff. Just stick to being a third-party publisher. That seems to be working out so far.
I'd say start with a remake. The original had some neat ideas but can greatly be expanded upon. Like trapping dinos behind laser barricades or tranq-ing them into submission. There is a lot of room to explore and flesh out these quirky gameplay mechanics.
thank you for actually reading 😂
