And those numbers for PS5 are last 48h xD
On preoder day it was probably like in Poland around 40.000 before counter was taken down.

The magnitude of this purchase is pretty huge, but Sony has an *enormous* install base for PS4 and trends look for that to continue with PS5. They've consistently been successful with only the PS3 being a misstep. Their first-party offerings are some of the best around, also.

My point being that I believe that by the time ES6 even is around the corner(probably 2 or 3 years), the install base will be a substantial amount of money to leave on the table when you're wanting to recoup that $7.5B.

I think they'll be timed exclusives or have extra content, but theyll still come to PS5 in time.

Even when Microsoft bought Mojang, Sony worried that Minecraft would vanish, but Spencer himself said "Why would I do that?"; even he couldn't ignore the potential there despite buying them.

Maybe times have changed. I'm not too worried, but I dont want to see a bunch of moneyhatting of major third-party studios by Microsoft(or Sony). Industry consolidation by financial force is a bad idea.

Yeah it would be dumb of them to leave that money on the table. Grab it, and reinvest it into Game Pass. All good for me

It is. And Microsoft is also losing in that regard, for the moment at least. But this ridiculous gloating when you think that XSX and XSS are not being pre-ordered enough is very unbecoming on you.

Well laugh about the numbers later, but if you read what posted before, it's at least a ratio of 1:3 to 1:4 just in the US, and 1:1000 to 1:∞ in other countries.

Why would Sony call it "PS Studios" and have Bluepoint next to it? I think they've already acquired them, but not announced yet. Waiting for the reception of Demon's Souls, and after that, announce it to ride on the hype.

PS Studios is just a publishing banner I think, so second party developers can still develop for them.

Just like Insomniac developed Sunset Overdrive under the Microsoft Game Studios banner when it launched on the XB1.

That said I think Bluepoint and Housmarque would be logical acquisitions, and for all we know the deal could be done.

I don't know how long it will take but I fear that game consoles will go the way of the blu-ray and CD player. In the end people will be able to play the latest games without purchasing any specific hardware.

And do you think Sony will stand there and watch their end and do nothing? well guys it's our end let's go home!

I mean, Phil Spencer already raised the white flag:

www.forbes.com

Microsoft: We’re Not Trying To Sell More Consoles Than Sony And The PS5, We’re Doing Something Else

In a recent interview, Microsoft's Phil's Spencer talks about how selling more consoles than Sony and the PS5 isn't the focus of the company's next-gen strategy

It's clear that they know that can't compete on unit numbers, that's why they are buying tons of IPs.
When Starfield, TeS VI or whatever will come out, MS will take money due to sales from PS5 which will may be at 50-100 milions units.

Now with so many studios, theoretically MS could release every month a first party title and give the devs around 2 years of time.
Do we have the exact number of studios and teams MS owns?

No offense, but how do you not recognize that as the "Fat" PS3?
Click to expand...

Well obviously I did in the end. Hence the question.

But I never replaced the drive on my OG PS3 and sold it years ago so don't remember the bay. But I know on the Slim and PS4 it's on the back so I'd be surprised if they put the bay underneath on PS5

I can't imagine a reason why xbox would not say right now that ES, fallout and other big Bethesda franchises will be exclusive to xbox (or at least not coming to PS) if they were
Click to expand...

If they could not afford to pay for timed exclusivity they certainly cannot afford to pay for permanent exclusivity. You do realise that it is the same amount of money - right?

I need to go back to this specific screenshot I've made previously. This is probably the most raytraced screenshot! Just look at the details of the textures on the wall casting dynamic, raytraced shadows! Overall graphics is wonderful! I think Sony should first acquire Bluepoint, and let them produce their own game for the first time!

While I would appreciate playing TES VI with trophies I do actually expect the future stuff to be console exclusive.
It's possible that they haven't decided yet, waiting for some next-gen sales and subscriptions before deciding.

Well the USA is a big market. A quick search found this...
www.statista.com

Top gaming countries by revenue 2025| Statista

The United States, China, and Japan are the biggest gaming markets worldwide. The gap to the next-ranked gaming market, South Korea, is almost 18 billion USD.
www.statista.com www.statista.com

I'm not vouching for it but if it's right you can see why MS might concentrate on USA first and foremost. I'm sure China is big in their thinking too.

You do know there's plenty of people using US accounts to take advantage of a cheap dollar conversion and no VAT? Especially for digital purchases...

I'm not naming any names............................... :messenger_sunglasses:

Wild bet: after a couple more PS5/PC title announcements, Sony will announce that PS+


Same experience, I mean, look at my avatar!

Master System 2 -> Gameboy -> SNES -> PS -> PS2 -> GC -> DC -> PS3 -> 360 -> PS4 -> Switch.

In the PS360 era, I bought/resold at least 360 to play specific IPs especially Viva Piñata and GEoW.

Nobody in my circle ever fame a damn about the better console, it's always been about how to play the best games.

That being said, my fondest memories are clearly with PlayStation. Playing MGS and R:Type 4 at Christmas for the first time, finishing FFVII in middle school with Omnislash, Mokujin's endings in Tekken, GTA 3, P4G etc... nothing comes close in my book.

Mine was a rollercoaster of brands:

Odissey 2 -> Master System -> Mega Drive -> SNES -> N64 -> DC-> GC -> PS2 -> 360 -> PS3 -> PS4 -> Switch -> PS5(already pre-ordered).

As it can be seen, never had much allegiance to any brand, I went where the games appealed to me.

I usually don't replay games I've beaten, might give it a try (most likely will stop in the middle and not continue). Thanks for the details!

Also Bo_Hazem Bo_Hazem and all of you looking forward to the spider-man remastered version, we get to see the first next generation Peter Parker. Yup you read that right, next generation character model for Peter Parker. This has been confirmed under the game's product info in ps blog!

They can't because of the trophies. I would buy it for an insta-plat. Fuck those side quests.

Seems like a copout though. There's got to be a way to transfer a save without giving you the trophies. Doesn't matter to me because I skipped the DLC first time around and I wanted an excuse to replay the game anyway but for those that wanted an open save or new game plus kind of thing I could see why they're kinda miffed.
 
GB - SNES - N64 - JAGUAR (🤣) - NGC - Dreamcast - Xbox - PSP - DS- X360 - PS3 - Vita - WII - Xbone - 3DS - PS4 - Xbox one X - Switch. something like this . Going Xbox - Nintendo this generation.
