They’re going to sell a lot of units. It’s a great price given the market conditions and the only console with a traditional Black Friday deal. I’ve had to resist the urge to get one even though I rarely use my PS4 these days…
I suspect they’re keeping multiplayer for either infinite on PS5 or whatever new game is coming afterwards. I always fall off the halo campaigns. It’s all about the multiplayer for me, so I’d be passing on this even if I didn’t already have MCC. I am looking forward to the possibility of Halo multiplayer on PS someday though.
@graymamba I was thinking of the hardware. I’m not much of a day one buyer but the Halo thing was a real cluster. And yeah, the lineup sucked for a long time..
@graymamba They’ve thrown a lot of hail Mary’s this gen. To my mind they did everything right at launch but it still wasn’t enough. It’s really too bad. But ultimately this is just a rumor…
At this point, I think I would buy a refurbished fat PS5 for $400 from Sony direct, crazy as that sounds. If my series s died today I would NOT replace it!
@NEStalgia Well said. Lots of people swirling around the drain here today over an announcement with no concrete details. Playstation has way too much going for it without Activision to just disappear. But you're right that a reckoning like this may be what gets them refocused on their roots.
