It would probably have sold better if it were a decent game. It’s just another bloated western game that cost far too much to create and has dreadful storytelling. I guess another studio will be closing soon.
Unfortunately most people don’t buy cod for the campaign anymore (due to prolonged poor quality) so rather than going down as one of the best cod’s for years it’s also being mentioned as the worst.
Let’s be honest about things. If you got 20-25 years between releases you have effectively killed off the franchise and you’d need to build a whole new audience. Sure some truly super fans would jump on the new title but a whole generation would have grown up knowing nothing of the series
Apparently these hackers are close to making an exploit that works at the hardware level rather than the current software level. Once that’s happens there is nothing Sony can do.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner why would anyone that needs to buy a console for gta buy an Xbox over a ps5? It’s clear that the game will run best on PlayStation and it’s a cheaper console.
@Redefaul because I only read this website and I’m a middle aged guy with other things going on in life. I wouldn’t have gamer as my first tag in the interest column of a dating app.
I’m sure all the no lifers will be here telling us that $1000 isn’t an issue soon. Back in the real world most people won’t pay. Especially for a console with next to no system selling games.
@john_c that’s such a deluded take! Most people that play games aren’t obsessive no lifers. They are casual play a couple games a year types or parents that buy if for their kids. A $1000 non essential product in a cost of living crisis isn’t going to sell well.
@Rhaoulos in the next 12 months you’ll see boxes hit the shelves that will be able to connect to online piracy stores and download everything for free. All the games are currently being decompiled. Once the base code is in people’s hands they can never stop it.
The majority of consoles sold get used a couple of times a year. No way those people pay $1000 for it. They’ll just stick with this gen and both Sony and Microsoft will support current hardware for the whole next generation. They’ll have no choice
@Jaxx420 I’m working three 12 hour shifts over the weekends until the new year. So fortunately I have plenty of time (while the wife’s at work) to play.
@naruball it’s hardly a “game” At best it’s an 8/10 so not really in the category of game of the year, it didn’t particularly sell well (surely that has to part of the criteria) and it was an industry “indie” plant funded by mega money donors (the real reason it won an award)
@Max_the_German it doesn’t matter how good or bad games are anymore. You only need read the reviews on this website that dish out 8,9 and 10’s to bang average games. Mixtape recently got a game of the year award ffs.
@somnambulance what other game that came out this year wound be a contender? I wouldn’t consider this year particularly stacked with great games.
@ShogunRok I completely agree with everything you are saying. That’s the exact reason Sony will have real competition next generation. Especially if helix has steam built into the system.
@LemanRusk generative ai and the current versions of chat bots aren’t anywhere near the finished product. Self recursive agi will ramp at vertical speed becoming thousands of times more intelligent than humans. Every question we’ve ever posed will be within reach of being answered. Equating it to a chat bot just proves that most people only parrot the msm talking points. Start thinking for yourself
@LemanRusk ai will most likely be humanity’s greatest achievement! It will solve mathematical problems that humans can’t, it will make new discoveries in medicine, science, computing, manufacturing and all other industries. Comparing it to a chat bot is either stupidity or ignorance.
Also complaining about ai is just a performative dance that people are doing because they are being told “ai = bad” by msm because ai will replace them.
Project helix will be the best selling console next gen if it has steam access and PlayStation doesn’t. Let’s be honest PlayStation have destroyed their usp this generation.
@opo02 ghosts had a tiny budget compared to wolverine. Selling 5 million copies of wolverine still wouldn’t be break even. Sony will lose the marvel license after all is said and done. No amount of cope will change the facts.
What people seem to be ignoring is that Sony have absolutely destroyed the good will they had with gamers doing into this generation. It’s now starting to catch up with them. Record revenues obviously paint a slight different picture but that’s just a lagging indicator imo.
@Dogbreath I don’t think Sony will
Have one smash hit this generation. Or certainly not for the rest of the generation! It’s time for people to start being honest with themselves about the state of Sony.

Re: PS6 Price Tag Facing $1,000+ Nightmare as AI Data Centres Send Component Costs Soaring
A bunch of hardcore gamers declaring that they will happily pay $1000 or even more means nothing to the actual real world success of the ps6.
