Brand Recogniction…or a pandemic with lockdowns, a worldwide chip shortage in all market segments, a crypto hype and the current ai hype making PC-Gaming so much more expensive. I have friends who bought their first console ever in this generation after being a PC-Gamer for decades.
I still can't believe a PS4 game is getting a remake...
No console is ever going to sell as much as the PS5 (and even the Switch) is currently doing on brand recognition alone... This is a poor way to downplay a console's success, beyond poor even. They're simply attractive products with healthy ecosystems and games to play, you can ask the Wii U if the brand helped it one bit over everything else that failed.
Much better than a handheld. Not to say it is a bad a idea but damn, Xbox feels cursed. If you think about it, a handheld can't really save them now. I know a lot of people want it but, think about it.
goes to show you can do everything right, but if you don't have a steady flow of games, people don't have a reason to pick up your system. they had a great show, but it was needed years ago, not in 2024 after they whipped up Project Latitude
What trajectory? is not in decline is sells about same as ps4 in same timeframe
Fall 2025 was make official by T2, most likely September-October 2025, it will push consoles sales hard beacuse people will literally buy console for it,back to gaming and make upgrades
Sony don’t said that they don’t have much for pipeline for 2024-2025, they said that they don’t have much for this fiscal year, insiders talk and they official announced that 2025-2026 will be very big for ps brand and ps studios
is not rumor, is from official leaked documentation of ps5 pro
Is special limited edition of series x with 2tb so not normal, ps5 pro will have 1tb disk, im not expect price higher than 599 euroe, ps5 price will also drop, tom henderson said they want price as competitive as possible
Speaking of this, I hope the shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow can disclose some information to avoid drifting off topic due to lack of new updates.
Since it's an custom chip, whatever year it releases in ;-)
The fiscal year is Apr 2024 to Mar 2025
Unironically Valve should make a Steam Machine and sell it at a loss. Sell one at $US699 and give it Strix Halo with 32GB RAM and a USB 4x2 (80gbps) port for eGPUs and VR
Let's hope so
Most of GTA V Customers are Ultra Casuals Teenagers who don't care about resolution that much , moreover , GTA VI will be the main game for Rockstar for the next 10 years and it will stay with this Generation for 2 years before moving to the next one , the game will be supported for the entire next gen lifetime "6-7 years" with much better Version, i think most of the sales will come from PS6 , XBOX NEXT Systems as well as Steam and Mabe Switch2 .
It's just crazy that Qualcomm is still this bad about these sorts of deals after so long. Windows on ARM is basically getting Zeebo-ed. The exclusivity deal can't end soon enough.
I think that Sony unlike Nintendo is basically totally secure. Nintendo consoles can alternate between bombs and great successes, while Playstation is just the default brand for consoles by this point and lives through third party support anyway, so even if Sony mismanaged their own studios basically it would not lead to any sort of downfall for Playstation because most buyers buy it for FIFA, CoD, Assassin's creed, GTA, Madden, as well as stuff like Honkai.
People online always deny it but i think day and date PC releases probably leads to a pretty hard cap of Xbox potential console customer base. Basically buying an Xbox only makes sense if you love gamepass and prefer to play on console rather than PC, a pretty niche audience to target, otherwise why get an Xbox instead of just buying all their stuff on steam day 1 or PC gamepass instead? Sure the reason they went into PC day and date releases in the first place was because of Xbox software sales declining, but i think PC day and date releases makes a great comeback like Nintendo did with the Switch from the Wii U basically impossible for Xbox, because the hard cap on console sales will be there permanently as long as all their games come out on PC day 1. And surely Microsoft realize that PC day and date releases is impossible to combine with a healthy, growing console, its just that they do not care about their console future any longer, they have other long term plans.
I don't disagree with you about brand recognition and that being able to carry the weight but I'm not convinced Sony can keep relying on that...this year feels a bit different and it feels like people are starting to finally get fed up with their silence, not showing much, and there not being a lot on the PS5.
Considering one is still heavily involved in the AAA mega tech spectacle sinking ship and the other really isn't, I think you might have it backwards.
My judgement is just by comparing the low effort it takes for Sony to have a console to be a commercial hit to the incredible hard job Nintends needs to do to succeed. Basically Sony can just wait on Madden, Fifa, CoD, Assassin's Creed, GTA to come out and they are good to go, even if their first party exclusives are non existant. Being a third party machine has its benefits. I think a Nintendo console with the first party output the PS5 has had would be 100 % a total bomb in sales for comparison.
Most of GTA fans and players are from very hardcor players to very casual players, thats why GTA VI is the most anticipated game of all the time and whole gaming world and not only is waiting for that, it will be the biggest premiere in history of this industry, about gen10, ps6 is late 2028, next xbox is late 2026 at least thats what rumors talk
TLOU part one and two Remaster REMASTERED 2
So how about that switch 2 eh?Please, close this topic... everything here is about everything except Switch 2!
Exactly, I think they are at a point of no return now.
I think another thing is that Xbox is part of Microsoft. Software company first and foremost. This was always bound to happen.
I think 1 and 2 counts very much. Some people don't want to spend 500 dollars on a system and they want to get something to play. Which, ideally, should have been a winner...but... nope!
It sounds kinda sexy with that DLSS
OH bAYBee
It doesn't say Switch 2 in the topic title, you know. We talk about technology, while speculating about how Nintendo might use it in the future - In Switch 2, or 3, or in new games.Please, close this topic... everything here is about everything except Switch 2!
Well, thanks to Ps5, all my friends that were kind of Sony fanboys are now PC owners that costs 3 to 5 times more than a Ps5. They think the graphics on Ps5 are not good enough if compare to PC. For them, that generation start too outdated if compared what a good PCs can do right now.
I'm most looking forward to how switch 1 games gets patched
Fridge system could work, but yeah, you'd really run ragged on the internal storage if you used it a lot.
next switch 90% certain has a MicroSD Express slot, which is backwards compatible with MicroSD cards.
It's true, I'm no longer going to turn on the ps5 until MHWilds and DS2 come out next year (if MHWilds doesn't make it to switch2), the ps5 is pretty much irrelevant when you have a high end pc on hand and it just so happens that I own a high end pc and I rarely play games on the ps5 anymore.
