I tend to agree with Welfare on this one, he usually has very thorough guesstimates, and If I had to guess his data is based on last year's NDP HW leaks, the official Xbox HW worldwide numbers from that recent Brazil MS conference and the US HW tidbits that Matt Piscatella provides each month. There's more to that, I'm sure, but his guesstimates should be quite accurate maybe within a 5% margin of error.
You said 'a slap in the face to the 40 million of us. '
I don't get it. It will be an optional minor upgrade for the people who wants the extra power and graphic options. I think most people are happy with want they have and don't need to upgrade since I assume all games going forward will be compatible with their existing hardware.
So for the rest of humanity, until AI wipes us out, is it safe to say that every console will get a sequel? Like a Hollywood movie?
Don't buy a Pro. It's not complicated.
Wait… how? How do I do that?
You're in luck as I'm currently doing/looking through all the games released so far on PS5 (physical only). There's a total of 600 PS5 games which have received a physical release in one of these 3 territories: US, PAL/EU and JP.
Go to Best Buy.
No, U.
The biggest story is that the US and Japan, the markets where PS3 and PS4 flopped, account for 50% of PS5 sales in 2023.
In other words, the PS5 will pull ahead of PS4 the following quarter and never look back.
On a time aligned-basis:
-PS5 sales are tracking 3% above PS4 in the US
-PS5 sales are tracking 20% above PS4 in Japan
-PS5 sales nearly double PS4 in China
9.0 million units (Dec LTD 31.0 M)
Yikes, colteastwood is that you? Lmao
If anyone deserved a ban........
Last gen that other console had far better games this far in the generation.
Last gen was way better game wise and LOL@the desperation of mentioning games on other platforms.
True. The PS5 is a better PS4 than the PS4. The other nice thing is that it also plays PS5 games.
This is just weird logic for me, like a friend of mine who bought PS3 at its twilight, and was pissed when PS4 was released. Eventhough, it was his own decision to jump in late, and there were countless good games he had missed from the PS3's earlier years. The same applies to the PS5. Plus, if you really wanted the console at launch, you should have reserved one well in advance, like I did already in February 2020. Reserving PS4 after E3 of 2013 was just early enough to get it at launch back then, and you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see that there would be more demand for PS5. Good foresight always pays off.
It doesn't sound far-fetched.
correct me if iam wrong, this gen has less exclusive games than ever.
and no it's not the digital model. That's £389. Standard PS5 is usually £480. Right now the PS5 is only £100 more than a Series S or £94 than a Switch OLED.That's not a good thing.......Playstation is killing it. Nintendo took themselves out of the console race and Microsoft has pivoted the Xbox brand as a subscription service.....crazy.
I no see no true competitor.......
Huh? I just read the thread too and it's very positive about the news.
I believe this is the price for the new slim model when released.
dunno
