Topher I see your laughing face. Let me like my thing. You like Starfield.

Spoiler

I do too.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Nice list of games.

I see a lot of GamePass games on there

 

[rodrigolfp]

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I really hope this game blows everyone away and sells millions. Time for big platformers to make a comeback.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Some of them are too damn high.

5 Assassin's Creed Shadows (Ubisoft)
7 South of Midnight (Xbox)

Only Ubisoft and Xbox games I have interest in buying in the past 10 years?

Last games I bought under their umbrella were Black Flag and Cuphead.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Crazy because it will do bigger numbers than every other game on that list

Likely people who play COD don’t have freaking IGN app on their phones.

 

[StueyDuck]

Most of the rest on that list barely if even showed an actual game.

Surprised it's above doom though.

Seems like you two were meant for each other.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Not the usual walking simulator Sony is so fond of, made by people that would rather be working in the movie industry. No tiresome talk about narrative, messaging and representation.

Right cause these games Sony is fond of, that started during the PS3 era didn’t save them. And don’t sell 10 million plus. And isn’t now boosting their Sony Pictures division.

 

[Fbh]

What happens to the Gears if there isn't war?

But congrats to team Asobi. Hopefully it sells, these full priced (or nearly) 3D platformers don't have such a good sales track record unless they are made by Nintendo.

 

[GigaBowser]

arm the spirit of gaming

 

[DenchDeckard]

I used to pre-order but then realized the money gets interest in my account until release day instead of getting interest in Herman’s Dutch bank account.

I only pre-order if there’s a discount now.

Yup. I only did it because the game collection in the UK had a decent price and I had £5 worth of points plus they were giving £10 of reward points for pre orders.

Kinda convoluted but I love my little astro boy buddy! So I'll make an exception.

Probably the first game I've pre ordered since elden ring.

 

[THE DUCK]

I mean astro will be amazing, but a ign wishlist is about as accurate and usefull as a rock.

 

[acm2000]

where did they pull the figures on? also am i the only one who doesnt bother using wishlists especially with game pass, i mean if i want a game then i will know when it comes out right on the home screen, maybe i just dont care enough?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Wait a second. Rocks are way more useful.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Makes sense as a good-looking game that can also be played by kids.

EDIT: Wow. 7 of the top 10 are on Game Pass. Also, the other 9 games besides Astro Bot were featured at the Xbox Showcase.

Sadly, all of those games are 2025 and beyond, outside of COD

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That's fine. 2025 ain't far away at all.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Likely people who play COD don’t have freaking IGN app on their phones.

More likely most people are buying COD anyway and just excited about a new Astrobot

 

[clarky]

You can wishlist games on xbox and playstation?

 

[Katatonic]

nvm

 

[Darsxx82]

PlayStation players tend to choose the game on their platform and the options were slim aside from AstroBot.
Those on Xbox had more variety to choose from and the votes are distributed.
The highlight of the list is that, even despite this situation, Xbox has 6 games in the top 10 and the majority in Gamepass....

 

[Js562]

You can wishlist games on xbox and playstation?

Yeah

 

[rhodesianshepard]

That's fine. 2025 ain't far away at all.

Yeah, just explaining why it's all Xbox. They had a showcase that revealed their entire roadmap for the next 2.5-3yrs. No other publisher is doing that. Ubisoft and Playstation shows didn't reveal any games not releasing this year

 

[adamsapple]

Crazy because it will do bigger numbers than every other game on that list

Combined.

 

[Syphon Filter]

astro bot is a children's game that is based off a generic tech demo, sony has to step up and bring real games like infamous or something.

 

[Paasei]

Eventhough I’m very excited for some other titles, I don’t see this is as a surprise. Astro Bots’ purpose seems to just be a fun game. Nothing more, nothing less. Very rare when games are now used as political agenda’s or be more dependent on story rather than actual gameplay.

I just have to jump around, smack some robots and find collectibles for no reason other than just having fun.

Japan stay winning.

I hear all videogames are for children. Time to find a new hobby methinks.

 

[Pop]

COD at 9 LMAO.

Gamepass

 

[Little Chicken]

Why would people wish list Game Pass titles?

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel for positive Sony news.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

So, a minor title like Astrobot is more highly anticipated than major Xbox titles?

Who would've guessed?

 

[Punished Miku]

So, a minor title like Astrobot is more highly anticipated than major Xbox titles?

Who would've guessed?

I usually put stuff on my wishlist when I plan on waiting for it to go on sale. Just sayin'. The game's available for pre-order.

I don't wishlist GP games until after I've played them, and decided if I'm going to buy it later on sale.

No matter how obvious the clickbait is, there’s always someone special enough to believe it and use it to fuel their confirmation bias.

Careful now.

 

[Deleted member 848825]

Astro Bot is the only one I've wish listed.

Wtf are you talking about? Are playstation players supposed to wishlist xbox games too?

Half the games on that list are still coming to ps5, but the highlight you missed is that more people are willing to pay than rent from Gamepass...

 

[Generic]

What makes you think players don't want that?

Makes me wonder if Astrobot will be the new Palworld.

*everyone will forget about the game 2 months after its release and go back at AAA games

 

[Romulus]

Sony will have a lock on the platformer genre. The team just keeps getting better.

 

[Hypereides]

Not sure if it is valid, but, if it is, then maybe this will give Hulst and Sony an epiphany.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Why would people wish list Game Pass titles?

Some people use wishlists as a digital backlog checklist.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Why would people wish list Game Pass titles in some IGN site/app/whatever?

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel for positive Sony news.

Ftfy.

Clearly a truth that you don't seem to like or want to accept ?

Yes, PS users have agreed in their vote because Astrobot was where there was going to be consensus. Xbox users had more to choose from and therefore the votes were more distributed (Fable, Gears, PerfectDark, South of Midnight...).
And yes, the most notable thing is that, despite It, there are 6 XBOX games on that list (which says a lot about its potential as a publisher) and that most of them can be played on Gamepass (which says a lot about the quality level of the launch of said subscription. ).

PS. "Rent" or buying, the most important thing at the end of all is being able to play the games you like. With Gamepass those games are more accessible to many people.

You didnt even answer the damn question, lol. What "truth" are you talking about?

Once again, Astro Bot is not the only game coming to Ps5 later this year, which kills your whole argument.

Hellblade 2 was accessible to more people too....we see how that worked out.

 

[AJUMP23]

Only game Sony had worth looking at.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I used to pre-order but then realized the money gets interest in my account until release day instead of getting interest in Herman’s Dutch bank account.

I only pre-order if there’s a discount now.

On a $60 game that interest amounts to about 3 quarters.....

I just pre-order if its a game I really want so I don't have to think about it closer to launch day and it pre-loads automatically.

And to support the devs I really like and want to thrive.

 

[Jesb]

I mean it looks good, and is the type of game that’s not relying on just graphics. Could be a goty candidate.
