Batman Arkham Knight comes to mind. I have issues with that game but it was gorgeous and is visually superior to Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad. From a personal perspective, my pc can do 8k on games that support it by my target resolution is still 1080p, 120 fps. Anything above that to me is overkill.
Nope. Seems like I'll be skipping the PS5 entirely. For the time being, PC and Switch are good enough for my gaming needs. I might even get a Steam Deck down the road.
) If Xbox starts coming out with great games, people will want an Xbox console. We really do need that competition, you don't want Sony thinking they can do whatever they want.
Yeahhhhh the RROD had a failure rate of over 50% at its peak. Which means 1 in 2 360s bricked. If that's not the worst hardware failure of all time, I don't know what is.The Xbox 360 also sold really well because of piracy. Some people basically had an entire business based on modding Xbox 360 consoles. You couldn't do that with a PS3.
But besides that, yeah it was the better console. It just was a better deal; cheaper, better games... (I'm not talking about quality, can't forget about the RROD

i would stick to my 4090 ti pcwell you know the scalpers are happy as hell right now
They did it for the Ps4.
Beautiful news.Report: More than half of Playstation's GAAS ventures have either flopped or been scrapped
PlayStation seems to have put all its eggs into the wrong basket.www.gamereactor.eu
It doesn't even have to be just single player. I'd kill for another traditional shooter with multi-player like Resistance or Killzone.
Yep, didn't take long from the giving up of Xbox as competitor to seeing material consequences for consumers with a price surprise on the very next console. This pricing strategy is better for a console manufacturer with monopoly power to take full advantage of selling up to those early purchasers when demand is usually high enough for units to sell, while those put off still stay in the ecosystem making purchases on older hardware and then upgrade later in the cycle at more sensible prices.The Xbox 360 also sold really well because of piracy.

If the Ps5 pro flops hard enough, then Sony is gonna lose money on all of the R&D they spent on it. Microsoft should market the hell out of CoD on gamepass to ramp up subscriptions as well as Series X salesYep, didn't take long from the giving up of Xbox as competitor to seeing material consequences for consumers with a price surprise on the very next console.

Good for the console manufacturer, bad for the consumer. Eventually if it stays like this Sony won't even need those hugely expensive genre-leading single player games to differentiate their console when there is no equivalent competition in the same sub-sector. Can go all in on GAAS at that point.
Yeah, stick with the area where they are amongst the very best in the market rather than the area they know F all about, an area full of dross where the likes of Concord are even more behind the curve than the average. I guess they took a lot of encouragement from the legit success of Helldivers 2. I knew that would be a double edged sword of success.
Maybe Helldivers 2 should just remain as the multiplayer pp PlayStation game, and Sony should focus on story driven games for everything else.Yeah, stick with the area where they are amongst the very best in the market rather than the area they know F all about, an area full of dross where the likes of Concord are even more behind the curve than the average.

Without competition the need for future consoles to be competitive isn't so strong (unless Nintendo one day pivot back to compete in the high performance arena - seems unlikely with how successful the Switch strategy has been). You can price them higher so they don't lose so much money at launch, and the specs also don't need to be competitive so the costs can also be lower. Without strong competition, eventually you don't even need regular launches as you can make a ton of money on people still spending on the ecosystem from the prior generation without any additional risk, as only a minority will move to pc.
That's what most of us would like but Sony execs are very likely thinking the opposite and how they can divert a few hundred million by cancelling a high profile single player game and taking another 8 throws of the dice to get another Helldivers 2.
