People are just tired of the old piece of shit consoles. Imagine living through a 2 minute loading screen ever again.
The better experience is on PS5. After playing Returnal, ratchet, miles its hard to go back to load times. I played the PS5 version of FFVII intergrade as I bought the dlc and did the PS4-PS5 conversion. Hollyshit load times even on a game that was primarily built on PS4 plays so much better on PS5.
yeah...good for sony. if you go back and read my comment you'll see i'm asking why people want a PS5. there's 2 good games worth playing and 3 of the big titles will be on PS4. there's no rush to get a PS5. you could easily wait until 2023. that's my plan.
They are selling as much as they make, clearly people want them. Sony don't give a fuck for the reasons.
Struck a nerve? What?
There is desperation everywhere for new silicon, whether its new consoles or GPUs. Where have you been bruh?
I just bought the PS5 but haven't played any exclusives yet.
PS5 versions outsell PS4 versions like 4:1. Attach rate on current gen is very high.
I'm much more of an Xbox user than PS, but there is so much more to PS5 than just exclusives. The whole system is so much faster, the controllers are more comfortable and new gen versions of old gen games look absolutely amazing. Defo a great upgrade for any PS enthusiasts.
But the xmas software sales is probably worth the additional cost I assume?
Stuck on the plane with the halo limited edition ones.
Yeah, this isn't about short term profits. All about market share.
Break even as far as we know via their ir calls.
It's more goodwill from your customers. Getting 50k more people a Christmas present they want.
There are games and the old games run better. The OS is better, the controller is better, the WiFi chip is better. If you have money and want to, why not? I bought it first and foremost to play PS4 games with better settings.
There are no PS5 bundles except for retailer-forced bundles or membership fee accessibility like Bestbuy does. Hard for anyone to complain when they are needed to move consoles and it's the best way to remove bots and scalpers from the equation. You need to give brick and mortar some incentives to hold onto space consuming products during the holidays.
Yeah, pretty sure they mentioned this last year too
Sony Is Reportedly Using Air Freight To Ship PS5's To Retailers In Order To Meet Demand - PlayStation Universe
Sony is set to use Air Frieght to ship PS5's to retailers later this year to ensure they are able to meet demand for the console.www.psu.com
Might be something they do each year, obviously much more costly for them but it must make sense on the bottom line. Obvious question is why not do this year round as well if this is the bottleneck because the demand is there.
AV
is talking about. They were the primary drivers for PS4 to sell over 100 million. I'm not discounting the exclusives which are definitely a boon to the library, but casuals don't necessarily buy consoles for the same games you and I do.
