Mediamarkt,4900 vs 1300 vs 48(lol) ps5 dígital is out of stock (all selld) at this point here xbox series s its been a disaster

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.

 

[IkarugaDE]

It looks like a bunch of soon-to-be-disappointed people accidentally bought Xbox One X’s

The discontinued console skyrocketed up Amazon’s charts today.

Lol.

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

 

[Bo_Hazem]

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.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Do you know what "bullshots" are?

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Well you keep looking for sales figures when they have recurring revenue from game pass. It's like you Sony fanboys still don't get it. It's not about the hardware.

Is this really going to be the new narrative going forward into next-gen that it's not about hardware anymore?

Why are MS releasing 2 consoles then?

I think 1 year will be pretty harsh for Xbox. PS5 will have much better transition.

I mean, Phil Spencer already raised the white flag:

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

[Bojanglez]

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.

[Dibils2k]

yeah considering Sony love charging for upgrades, Bluepoint are the master of upgrades

 

[Oligarch097]

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!

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.

 

[Mr Moose]

GameStop must've been talking shit about Xbox to only receive those numbers, they are lucky they haven't been bought and closed down.

 

[Shmunter]

Ms buys Bethesda, Sony buys GameStop

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

And some clowns call that "enhancements". Spiderman PS4 will get PS5 boost mode, that's enough enhancement for free, this might be close to the new MM, or identical! I might get the $70 version then, replay it, as already bought the full $70 on PS4 with all DLC's back then.

 

[RaZoR No1]

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?

 

[zubairali2]

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

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

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

 

[Elog]

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

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?

 

[Oligarch097]

No, Microsoft doesn't disclose those figures.

But why though?

 

[Oligarch097]

It's hard to stop winning when Microsoft keeps making these great moves for their fanbase.

Lol what great moves we will have another talk in 5 years or so when xbox joins zune!

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

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!

Bo_Hazem are people now saying the above gameplay trailer shot is bullshot, so much bullshit from people!

 

[WakeTheWolf]

Ps5 has had more time to be sold out

 

[CrysisFreak]

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

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.

Any news on p5 showings on tgs? Know about resi , anything else??

It wasnt under videogames category on amazon

Ah, great. What was the real sales ranking then?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

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!

Right now there is no way to judge that based on US amazon.

Biggest gaming-info site in Poland gry-online.pl poll.


Only around 20% gamers in Poland will never buy PS5

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

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

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

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...............................

 

[Neo Blaster]

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.

PC (8800GT was my last flagship card bought on premiere)->PSP -> X360 ->PS4 ->xbox one (xD) ->PS4 pro ->XOX ->XOX +PS4 slim + Switch ( zelda and sell) ->XOX+ PS4 pro -> nothing for almost whole 2020 ->PS5 already paid and maybe in 2022/2023 XSX

Also 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 should add a way to transfer saves, even if it is just an approximation slightly below your current progress.

 

[Mr Moose]

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

 

[Redlancet]

Sony fanboys keeps saying that due to Game Pass, Microsoft won't care about quality and all games will be AA. It's ridiculous, and based on nothing but their own insecurities.

And crackdown 3,and the state sea of thieves launched, etc but go on x warrior

 

[Sethbacca]

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.

 

[TBiddy]

Still surprises me that Insomniac apparantly are incapable of making the save-games compatible.

 

[sinnergy]

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.
