They won't actually let you put one in the cart. Always says to wait a few minutes due to high demand. LOL

Maybe, if Gamepass comes to Switch.
But actually I just wanted to say that I hope that Sony, like Nintendo, can exist on its own once "Netflix for gaming" becomes mainstream.

Unbelievable. Since this game came out, more people have died of flu's, etc. NOW all of a sudden it's insensitive to remind people that people die from sickness? I just....whatever. I mean, it doesn't affect me...just seems...unnecessary. And yes, I know people, have people in my family that have died from Covid-19 so don't go there. Maybe it helps that my situation was due to a State government that literally put infected people into a nursing home...where it was free to attack those most vulnerable to this bug but still... I'm just done with everything on Twitter dictating what companies and organizations do, I guess.

Best Buy's services must really blow! I barely got my PS5 preorder because of them last week!
I get paid to stir the pot here. It's called engagement. It helps drive traffic, and keep eyeballs here. I have no vested interest in the argument.
Joking!

Well, this is not like the previous gen where the 360 and PS3 sold virtually the same amount of units worldwide.

this is a example that Sony is ripping off people with a $70 remaster. This a brand new game for less.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
They've reportedly spent 100's of millions making Halo Infinite and they say it's bigger than Halo 4 and 5 combined campaign wise.
343i failed at making it graphically impressive.. but if the above is evidence of the "Gamepass strategy" than their strategy is to make massive hugely expensive games with large singleplayer campaigns apparently. Great argument!

They will release update, season passes, a new concept, maybe something like WOW does, but there is no Halo Infinite 2, build from the ground,etc, etc.

¿For how many years?
And As I previously said, things will go bad if the numbers go wrong, if gamepass is sustainable with the current AAA budget, there is nothing to worry about.

"across both consoles"? I knew he was instrumental in the PS5's architecture, but was unaware he also worked on Xbox applications. Does anyone know what exactly he was responsible for?

MS has $150 billion war chest in reserves they don't need to worry about pocket change $100m....
Seriously I just realised how absolutely insufferable debating anything with Xbox diehards will become because of that $7.5bn buyout. It's like the 'MS War Chest' wet dream/nightmare come to fruition at long, long last. So now all debates about gaming costs will end with 'MS has the money to do it they spent several billion buying ZeniMax'.
Any reasonable debate stops stone dead if one person's POV is that Xbox exists apart from all logic and business sense going forward. You won't be able to say anything because of the money!

To add to this, even if this model still had the potential to produce a decent amount of quality material, it isn't for me regardless because the way I consume content has changed as I've grown older.
Unless it's something I've been looking forward to or an established IP I'm already vested in, I simply don't have time to spin the wheel and take the chance on random games, shows or movies to see if it's going to be good.
Game and TV time is a precious commodity, so while I may occasionally throw on something completely random, for the most part I've only got time for quality bangers with the occasional guilty pleasure.
A problem with gaming now is that so few games get most of the playtime. These companies are competing for eyeballs. Not just in the video game arena but in entertainment in general.
Gaming has grown to the point games can challenge movies and tv(and in cost).And as revenue sources move from less traditional methods and microtransactions and subs become ever more used the need for engagement grows.
Engagement leads to netflix having a few big attractions and lots of filler because they want to keep you watching.
In gaming the actual time spent gaming has been dominated by a few juggernauts while every other title fights to get customers to spend 10 hours of playtime if ur lucky.
It puts a lot of pressure on these companies to not miss with a game. That doesnt help risk taking at all. Subscription models kind of take that fear away a little bit. Not everything is riding on that next ip. Be it a movie, series, or game, even if its not great you have a steady income source.

If Microsoft bought sega, id say sony is in deep, deep trouble. The Zenimax purchase alone has tremendous Implications. But a one two punch just like that? Insanity. In some ways sony has no one to blame but themselves. They couldve owned square soft back in the day and let fromsoft ware slip through their hands too.

Halo Infinite will be a "ten year" game
The upcoming Halo Infinite is going to be a "platform" for future content. That's according to developer 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee, who told IGN that the title is just a starting point...

Am I the only one who doesn't want 4K60?
I get the impression that 4K60 is something reserved for cross-gen padding before we get to the real meat of the generation. I want games that look so graphically ahead of last gen that they even struggle to hit 4K30. Or even better, just drop it down to 1440p and give me some eye-candy.
Right now I'm taking '4K60' to mean "not really next-gen" - that applies to both consoles.

You don't build a game for the next ten years and just have an "idea" of what is going to happen, they want Infinite to have everything previous Halo have had, great story, great multiplayer, they are trying to recover the game and put it to the glory again, and while doing that creating a platform that allows them to upgrade the game without second releases, etc, etc...
It means they are not trying to make a new game for 2025 with the graphics of 2025, they want this Halo to grow over time,
A la World of Warcraft...

I'm in the same boat. Definitely getting a PS5, but with everything Microsoft is doing I may pick up a Series X as well. Series X for Game Pass and PS5 Digital for exclusives. Also, I need a new TV. Gonna be a pricey next couple of months.

They can give Halo to id Software and they force 343 to apologize for not doing a good job. Just like how Konami made Kojima's team apologize for not being able to make the Raiden game (which went to Platinum Games and become Revengence).

I disagree. In my country this game is priced at €70 on Amazon for every platform. And we are talking CDPR, a company that has always embraced the idea that games should not have copyright protection systems and usually are priced lower than market standards.

Such horshit. How can one of the most successful publishers of AAA single player games be worried about the future? Aren't all of their games GOTY winners/contenders and sell million of units each time?
Dude, it's BETHESDA. If the owners of Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout are worried about the future of their company, the industry is in deep shit.

Yep. Same here. I'll probably buy a Series X once they put out a game I want to play on it. Missed the pre order, but then their launch line up is pretty bad, so happy to hold off until the right game comes along.
