larger install base, so idk why this would be a surprise?

ps2 also had a much larger install base advantage over og xbox than ps4 has over xb1 and look what happened with the 360.

surely you guys dont think this actually means a damn thing when it comes to the performance of these consoles over the next 7 years

Definitely could help indicate sales performance of the systems at launch.

Nice article on The Verge about the new DS5.

In fact, you can look at the two controllers as almost emblematic of the approaches Sony and Microsoft seem to be taking with their next-generation consoles.

Microsoft wants the Series X to blend in seamlessly with the rest of its Xbox One and Xbox One X lineups. Accessories are cross-compatible, games will support cross-buy, and backwards compatibility of past purchases is a key selling point. The Series X will play the new Halo the best and offer the most impressive graphics, but your original Xbox One will play it just fine, too. The goal is a more refined version of the current experience — not a new one.

Sony wants to build something new

Sony, on the other hand, seems to want to pitch the PlayStation 5 as the next step forward. New games that won't work on old consoles. New hardware features that will be exclusive to the PS5. Even things like the faster SSD are being touted as ways to unlock new types of gameplay experiences that weren't possible on older hardware.

The DualSense controller's new design and functionality encapsulates that goal. It's an exciting first step into the future of gaming. Now... how about showing off that console, Sony? Or maybe even some games?

Sony’s new DualSense controller is its most exciting design since the original PlayStation

The biggest change to the PlayStation controller yet.

Interesting article. I disagree that this is the first thing next-gen wise that's "not" been boring. The XSX's console design is not boring at all to me.

Good article and some truth to the idea that MS is to some extent doing "less new."

However why go in this stupid thread? lol

If it's so stupid, why are you in here?

 

[IntentionalPun]

If it's so stupid, why are you in here?

Because people are using it to discuss the controller, despite there being several other threads already about it?

This forum is a mess; 5 threads on every topic.. same conversations happening... stupid shit like the "this thing got 2 million likes" thread being used to actually discuss tech, etc.

I hope they'll have it in black.
And, actually, quite loving my aluminium silver PS4 + controllers.

Attributing to install base doesn't tell the whole story. Look at the likes to subscriber ratio between the PS5 and XSX controller posts.

 

[Esppiral]

And so.. What?

 

[CJY]

Wonder if it will beat the record for most likes ever for the PS5 Logo reveal @ 5.3m

PS5 logo amassed almost 5m likes in 48 hours.

Sony’s next-gen console post seemingly the most liked of all-time from a games company…

You know how long it takes to buy 2 million likes? Like, 1 second.

When fans can get so hyped over a controller I doubt they need to buy any likes.

With that logic then all users on neogaf are Sony employees.

 

[Self High Five]

And so.. What?

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

The controller looks interesting but I don't get the fascination with Instagram likes. As if the PS5 wasn't going to sell 2 million units or something?

 

[The_Mike]

Twitter and Instagram like 800 million combined.

And real people, not weirdos.

Real people like the kardashians and not weirdos.

Sad and true at the same time. Reality ist so disappointing. Well, thats why we game, right?

I would like this sort of VW grey, it grew on me significantly:

OP stop being a fanboy and be neutral. Let's take a look at Xbox's IG post.

This tells us that most teenage girls prefer PlayStation.

So Twitter only has teenage girls now? That's your defense?

Either way, men are on both.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I think SONY hit a home run with Dualsense.

 

[Fun Fanboy]

Does PS4 controller work with PS5? And vice versa?

 

[Okami Haundo]

Does PS4 controller work with PS5? And vice versa?

I believe the Dualshock 4 is confirmed to work with PS5. No word yet on DualSense working for PS4.

 

[Reindeer]

Only console fanboys will brag about likes on a post about a controller...SMH. Console fanboys have to be the saddest bunch out there.

Again? Every single post.

So why are you here?

 

[Reindeer]

So why are you here?

To tell console fanboys how sad they are

 

[onQ123]

To tell console fanboys how sad they are

Not as sad as the person crying about a controller getting attention

Says someone who got offended and is crying about me making fun of fanboys who are fanboying about a controller lol.

Dang you mad son. It's okay the XSX will sell well. MS will be fine.

LOL can't hide your tears buddy

 

[Reindeer]

So just because I left this comment on a PlayStation related thread means I'm pro Xbox? Lol, you fanboys are something else. You people live in a strange world where you think anyone who criticises your precious box is automatically a fanboys of an opposing box, SMH.

 

[Reindeer]

LOL can't hide your tears buddy

Dang, you still going on about this? Did I hurt you that much by saying something negative in a thread about a controller that you so previously adore? Like I already said, you people are very special lol.

I would say you're clearly hurt since no one forced you to comment on this thread.

What's so hard about just ignoring the thread and moving on?
