At this point a base ps6 will cost between $1200 and $1500 in 2 years if we are lucky. The prices arent coming down because of data centers and weapons.

Nintendo has really shown the way. Cheaper consoles and their 1st party actually releases games which is apparently an after thought to Sony. GTA6 is the only reason PRO consoles are sold out. Base models are still everywhere. Sony won't have a system seller for ps6.

Naughty dog can't even release games anymore and insomniac is stuck on marvel for the next decade. Its funny watching Capcom absolutely destroy Sonys IP and production. They put out more games this year than sony has in the entire ps5 life cycle

Absolutely pathetic. Just skip the entire generation naughty dog. Ps5 is a huge failure

I can't believe the Japanese could fall for all those fake complaints about wolverine?!? I was told in no uncertain terms by the internet that its not possible to be critical of wolverine. I'm confused.

Season 3 is taking way too long. There's been multiple studies saying if your show takes 2 years to put out a new season its hard to retain viewership.

Great job not taking advantage of this series with a new game. Oh wait, I do remember something about a sequel to factions. Good thing we got those 8 horizon projects that hulst wanted to tide us over.

@get2sammyb wolverine got criticized for being a boring slog thru linear paths that took way too long to complete.

Sony has barely put anything 1st party out this generation and lots if us are just sick of their screwups. Also the Wolverine Defense Force has been working overtime.

Lots of people don't like the game and don't like that insomniac are just a marvel studio now. Not liking this game is a valid response but gods forbid you mention that anywhere without getting dog piled.

Sammy, playstation has gotten lazy af. I've been playing ps since before PSM came out and this is tiring as hell.

Destiny and marathon are both dead. Nice that older fans can play but no one new is jumping in. Too little too late

@MidnightDragonDX 🤛

Good for them but this is really too little too late. You can't even reveal it til next year?!? That's ridiculous. Why this studio has so much backing from sonys leaders is baffling.

@naruball but your ignoring all the sign posting and white paint everywhere. This game presents itself as holding your hand in all the videos. I'm over gow and horizon telling you exactly what to do without letting you explore. This is just more of the same

Definitely not. Too linear and too much hand holding. Combat looks repetitive. Adding jean grey is a weird narrative choice as well cause this is basically wolverines prologue.

@ShadowRJ 100% first comment knocks it outta the park. Wolverine costing $330 million is eye opening compared to Spiderman 1 and MM. Bloat outta control and it sounds like Sony really micromanage this game, hence the fart gas and countless white paint

Hulst check with his masters at bungie first before they sent a cease and desist

Fart my gas?!? On today of all days?

@mvhess you answered your own question.
I don't support obvious gaas garbage. Its been a huge waste of money and sonys leadership is braindead. Listens to bungie who downvotes factions cause they knew factions would destroy marathon.

This looks like another BOMBA.

Look out below!!!!

More failing gaas is always muzak to my ears

Watched more video of wolverine and my opinion is even lower. The Jean grey fart gas is a constant overlay on the screen acting as the GPS in a very linear game.

Looks like the worst elements of handhilding from GOW and Horizon

@JB_Whiting just saw that Nintendo power never gave a game under a 2 out of 5 until the end of their publication with power puff girls getting a 1.5.

Just stating facts

ArE YoU GeTtInG the MeSsAgE sOnY?

No lessons will be learned. Not paying $70 for this. Insomnia didn't get that people don't want hand holding in these games after spiderman 2 or other countless ps exclusives. Just looks boring.

@NitrousX

Hes horrible. I was excited when he took over from Ryan cause I thought we'd get more games. Its been the exact opposite.

Just a multi generational fumble. Made idiotic investments, listens to clearly biased sources, ended physical, raised prices, closed multiple studios, gaas failing everytime, completely abandoned psvr2, and barely any 1st party games.

Where the 8 horizon projects you fraud? Herman is so inept he cant even get 1 of those projects off the ground. I haven't bought anything PSN since the announcement and I will continue to boycott.

PS is screwed. Next gen is gonna be a disaster. PS enthusiasts are jumping ship left and right. Its gonna be tough without these early adopters

@TheArt huh? Those are 2 wildly different art styles and presentations.

I think horizon gatherings looks like ass with its ripoff fortnite aesthetic. Ff resonance looks way better than some Ai slop from Hulst pet project

So many people ripping into others cause they wanna boycott. Very weird attitude to have. Sony doesn't care about you but so many have a parasocial relationship with the company.

I don't trust sony or any of these large companies. They just care about money and don't have any of our interests in mind. Hell yeah I've boycotted sony. Haven't bought a game since Lego batman. But please call concerned consumers sheeple. Cause that makes logical sense

It's absurd we still know practically nothing about this game. My enthusiasm for ps5 has cratered. ND... come on.
@justmyopinion mo cap for tlou2 finished and 6 months later it released

@Matroska I read earlier that holland and John were in a film called pilgrimage in 2015 and filmed each other's auditions for Spiderman and punisher. Trippy how that works out

I'll join in. It won't make much of a difference unfortunately as they already made up their mind.

I'll just be skipping buying Playstation games or the ps6. They are gonna lose a lot of money during that launch when people don't buy it

So sonys just gonna run gow into the ground. Nice. They would have done the same to horizon but they couldn't get their sh$t together with the 8 projects they had lined up for it.

Great job sony

It's gonna be a huge crash in profits for sony. They have destroyed the last of the good will they had. I haven't bought a game on psn since the announcement.

I suspect that tons of high volume buyers are taking the same approach. I don't know how many thousands upon thousands of dollars I've spent on playstation but its alot.

Sony not even bothering to respond after how many weeks is truly eye opening. They are in huge trouble

All digital future and the ps store can't even figure out a decent game to recommend for me.

I mean I only own 375 digital games and you have trophy stats for hundreds more but by all means suggest FIFA and marathon to me again for purchase.

The last sports game I played was madden 06 and besides factions years back the only multiplayer game I played this gen is helldivers 2.

Can't even do the simple task of suggesting anything remotely close to my interests and I'm supposed to believe data centers arent anything but an environmental catastrophe?

So many self owns the last 5 years from PSX. Zero leadership as evidenced by 2 weeks of silence.

Mat P just had an article talking about how the vast majority of gamers barely buy titles except cut the heaviest of heavy hitters ie fifa, cod, gta, etc.

The whales are pissed off Sony. As stupid as it sounds if Nintendo had a trophy system I'd start buying all my 3rd party games from them instead as I buy every Nintendo game physical. I got sick of Nintendos bs years ago buying SMB3 on each system separately.

This was already the worst ps generation.

I like the comments that boycotting won't do anything cause they are absolutely wrong. Horrible word of mouth by hard-core fans will definitely affect sonys bottomline. We see it with movies constantly.

Absolutely dead on arrival.

100% they are gonna milk cross gen cause Sony doesn't know how to be a competently run business anymore.

There would have to be multiple ps6 exclusives that I crave to want one. Naughty dog hasnt even released a game this generation. No bend. No bluepoint. Insomniac is trapped making marvel games. Guerilla supposedly is releasing what, 5 horizon games but they are MIA.

How is media molecule still around? They shoulda toss that turd out 5 years ago. No vr games. Dynamic pricing? Dynamic rip off.

Hulst should have been fired yesterday. Never thought id look fondly on the Ryan era. Seriously though Hulst has no idea what hes doing, its pathetic and embarrassing as a life long psx fan.

Id run circles around Hulst as an executive. 100% guarantee. Just toss me medical and 100k and I'll make sony profitable

Sonys gonna lose so much money when ps6 comes out. Even more reason to wait or skip ps6.

Vote with your wallet. That video sony did 12 years ago making fun of Xbox for not allowing sharing of games is rearing its head now

Arrogant sony is 100% back, baby!

How much you want for this game again?

This is how the next video game crash will happen. Remember the stock market is partially composed of and driven by the expectations of the public and share holders. If confidence crumbles, which is already happening, then that's the first domino to fall.

Component prices and a horrible economy will make it extremely hard to sell consoles over $1000 to all but the hard-core. The ps5 generation has trained consumers that incremental performance increases arent enough to sell units. Its always been about the games and since cross gen lasted so long for the ps5 there's no impetus on the consumer to upgrade systems.
Hulst has zero foresight and has damaged the brand immensely. Chasing live service cause they can't scale down their game size or partner into 2nd party agreements with studios. Its a losing situation especially when they keep a company like media molecule around still. They should have shuttered that studio 5 years ago after Dreams was a financial disaster. But no lets close Bluepoint. Seriously unintelligent executives who can't read the landscape

This is so incredibly tone deaf after laying off lots of bungie employees yesterday. Just zero empathy on his end. Actually really pisses me off

Ah man, its a shame the cookbook isnt physical

@get2sammyb Sammy what are the chances we get more Witcher 3 style expansions/dlc for older games?

I'm not sure how financially feasible it is or how many games have the cache to do this but ya think this could happen with more companies?

@Snackfood 100% agree especially with the ridiculous length of cross gen at the beginning of ps5.

I know people will disagree but there's a really high chance the video game industry crashes. Feel like it's already happening with the huge numbers of lay offs, studio closures, and rising chip/storage costs.

I'm 44 and have been gaming since 1st grade with an Atari. Besides college I've gamed my whole life. I'm not picking up a ps6 until maybe 2 or 3 years into its life cycle. I've seem lots of similar sentiment online, which take with a grain of salt.

Never seen the industry in such rough shape. AI isn't going to help these companies

The ps5 showed me i can definitely wait as I was super eager and excited to get my hands on one. Like lots of us I was checking websites constantly as the demand was very strong.

As it turns out it was by far my least favorite launch and it was insulting to see the number of cross gen games after I shelled out $600 for a new console. I got a psvr2 on sale but we all know sonys refusal to support that device.

So no, I won't be buying a ps6 for awhile after it comes out. Like another commenter mentioned Sony conditioned me. It conditioned me to stop caring about consoles at release. Worst Gen for ps exclusives by far

@summer235 its about using a dead person's image in a ridiculous way that they never consented to. He isnt a historical figure either like having george Washington in assassins creed.

Its greed and in poor taste

That's in super poor taste. I don't like this at all. Tupacs family obviously doesnt care about him either as they'll shill his name and appearance out at the drop of a hat.

I don't think tupac would be a fan of this either. Snoop already used his likeness for that dumb hologram 13 years ago. Plus snoop is a horrible person. Generational grifter.

Hulst is a huge failure as the top dawg.

You bought nixxes and bluepoint to do exactly this and now you abandon them. So dumb. Why don't you just give more to bungie? Makes as much sense as keeping media molecules open

Re and hades2

Maybe star wars zero company at launch but several in the following months.

Playing thru trails of cold steel and have the sky remake so I'll be busy with those before chapter 2.

Definitely control and eventually wolverine but I'm nervous about how it shapes out

@PuppetMaster

Dude...I dont agree with most of what you just wrote. And that's fine. I'm disappointed in sonys bad strategy. I'm disappointed that sony spent $76 million for a game that is incredibly niche and not selling well.

This is a Playstation site and I was comparing the great sales of bond to the horrible sales of saros.

You're wrong on the bond games. 30 games selling 10 million copies isnt good. Its a fact. Again bond draws decently at the box office the last decade. The bloom is off the rose for the franchise. That's why I'm happy the game did well and is reaching a larger audience.

Its perfectly fine to like saros. I'm making comparisons without emotions talking about sales figures.

@space_g0blin
Agreed with the wolverine comment. I think it'll be a good game but we've known about it for awhile and it's been leaked a ton. Ive reached my fatigue level with this game.

I don't need to see 15 minutes of this game but its the highlight. Spiderman 2 was really disappointing. I couldn't believe they doubled down on having more MJ type scenes. Just a bone headed decision that also impacts my hype for insomniac

@PuppetMaster

I have no problem with saros. Being bewildered that I have a problem with sonys strategy is interesting.

People on this site were banging on about Saros and how its a darling and getting angry that people were talking about its poor sales. Bond shows up and eats its lunch.

Sorry but 40 million copies over 30 games isn't anything to brag about. When the best selling bond is only 5 million that's probably a great achievement for the studio but it doesn't mean ***** for sonys bottomline.

@PuppetMaster

Not really. Tell me what james bond video game besides golden eye sold well?

Just cause bond makes money in theaters doesn't mean it'll do well. It historical hasnt.

@Herculean

As a long time sony fan they dont have any strategy and when 1 of the only 1st party studio games to come out this year underperformed this much compared to, yes, a random bond game its troubling.

I understand io is a huge company and it released on multiple platforms. Its also partially a reskin of a game they've been making for decades. Saros undersold big time. Don't wanna hear that we don't know what their expectations were. Its selling way worse than returnal.

Good for bond. Those are great numbers for a character that traditionally doesnt do well saleswise except for goldeneye

Sounds like complete bs. Microsoft wants to be punitive cause they pissed they did so poorly this gen. I'm convinced Obsidian offered it without MS approval and that's why we are here

Back end issues? Yeah I don't think so

Not to be a dick but 1.5 million in 24 hours is great....sorry Saros you ain't it.

When a random Bond game pushes your sh#t in that much your game is toast.
