@Haggis555 Same, failed multiple times.

@AdamNovice MSFT has to make money. Keeping people on indefinitely for studios that are not doesn't work. They’re not a charity.

@AdamNovice Maybe they want the people to keep a job? 😹

It’s good to see the last five studios they let go of either get bought or go their own way instead of just firing everyone.

They’re now following the Sony model where they will only focus on about a dozen mostly low risk games that make money. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

“PS5s State of Decay 3”. I love the deliberate wording to make it sound like it’s PS5s game. It’s a trend too.

It seems like they’re heading the route of Sony where you don’t make “small games” and you focus on 6-10 AAA IPs. Sony shuttered numerous studios to get here too.

Dealt a bad hand, please. They’ve made terrible business decisions which has led to the cancellation of numerous games. This has also caused them to release fewer games. Naughty Dog might not even put out a real game this gen. Tiny violin.

@Swandivetotheasphalt We are not haggling over 30K copies. My point is still valid. Sales keep going up as time goes on, so naturally they would be higher than they were when they put that out.

@Swandivetotheasphalt It was 330K when they posted the article. More sales would have happened by now…

@Dogbreath Well said. No one could convince me that Sony is happy ND wasted who knows how much money on Factions and hasn’t put out a new game since 2020. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that they don’t have a single new game this console gen.

@themightyant I agree 100%. I think people are very confused by the statement. The landscape could be very different in 2030, would seem like a poor choice to wait until then.

@Balaam_ Weird way to say catering to the vocal minority.

@TheArt I have looked at Sekiro so many times but it NEVER goes below $29.99.

@Megabeenz No. I was more concerned with your stress levels!

@nomither6 Gears is not Halo. Never has been. This will sell.

@MrPeanutbutterz We all can’t be masochists.

@MrPeanutbutterz You don’t enjoy getting trophies for playing the game? What? Lol.

@AdamNovice when is there not bad press for Xbox? He has been railing on them for their decisions. Cmon man.

Man these sales just continually suck.

Apparently people in these comments don’t know Sarah Bond is a female????

@TrollOfWar Exactly. Sony would be taking a bath on the PS6 selling it at $600. That’s a pipe dream.

Sneaking Deathloop into this list. 😂

@HamKnight I played the demo and didn’t notice smithing FWIW.

@somnambulance I’m only 4-5 hours in so I am also hoping to see some differences between it and Shadows. Gameplay is terrific, just feels too samey to other stuff at the moment.

@somnambulance I concur. Having played GoT, Rise of the Ronin and AC Shadows, it feels VERY familiar.

@Yozora146_ Here are my $0.02, I am prepared to be attacked. 😂

The combat feels very good. The opening was quite slow. The character models are not great a lot of the time. The thing when you buy a map is terrible. The story hasn’t really pulled me in so far because it feels like a game we’ve played many times before. Not saying this is bad by any stretch, just not anything special to me so far (4 hours in).

There are obviously similarities between all their games but the article is too simplistic. More concerning to me is the constant sequels. We had a LOT of new IP in the PS4 era and now are just getting sequels.

@LogicStrikesAgain To me the first game had pretty terrible gameplay and terrific story. The second one had better gameplay, and a well written story that I just didn’t care for.

I just don’t think it’s a good 3rd person shooter. Your reply characterizes it better.

@LogicStrikesAgain Calling it one of the best 3rd person shooters is wild. I’ve never heard someone describe it as that and it certainly is not a good shooter. Lol.

Boy am I glad to see the comment section united in disgust over this. A truly horrid decision by Sony.

As the philosopher Lizzo once said, “it’s about damn time”.

I didn’t play Edge of Fate, but this looks pretty cool. I might have to grab the combo package later this year with both DLC. Sorry, Sammy.

Well this very well may be DOA.

I don’t know this game is a 6 but you have the first an 8. This one is better.

@LogicStrikesAgain If I recall correctly, devs have said Sony doesn’t allow them to put their games on sale and they have to be “invited” to do.

Having DS2 early access limited to digital deluxe only also is not a good look. That says to me they are pushing ppl to digital.

Not having third party offers for digital games on PS really does suck. This is a valid point they should be arguing.

@themightyant They stopped producing PS4 in Japan in early 2021 but continued later in the west. Finally ceased distribution in 2025 in Japan. The only way they can sell PS6 for less than $700 is if the Pro sees a price cut and the PS5 went the other way this gen.

@themightyant Unless we see a price drop on the PS5 Pro, they will 100% not sell the PS6 for less than the PS5 Pro is selling at the time. The optics alone of that would horrific.

And yes, I fully expect the PS6 to be $700.

@themightyant That is not going to happen. What are you basing this on?

Will it have worse parts? Will Sony take a massive hit on it financially? There isn’t much logic here. The PS5 was $100 more than the PS4 Pro.

@themightyant Surely you don’t expect the PS6 to be less than $700 USD??? I would be shocked if it costs less than the Pro.

@Westernwolf4 Right? Genuinely felt like a tough choice.

Aside from feeling a little lost just into Act 3, game was phenomenal.

Did I miss where they said focusing on PS5 first? They said console, right?

@LogicStrikesAgain As far as I know, people don’t have their worth tied up in a streaming service like they do consoles. Many many cases of confirmation bias.

@LogicStrikesAgain I think the issue for me is that PS+ Extra rarely has games that I want to play so the value is bad for me. GP was brutal for a period of time but the value has been ridiculous the last year or so. Really just comes down to what you like to play I think.

@Lastochka You’re asking for a lot here.

At the end of the day it’s going to come down to what makes them the most money. If it is putting them on PC, they will.

@Nexozi I also thought this. Probably a 16 year old kid.

@CielloArc what does this mean? I haven’t seen anything like that.

@UltimateOtaku91 ???
