Honestly this doesn't interest me in the same way Wukong did when I watched the trailer, actually I'd definitely pick Phantom Blade Zero over this anyday as well.
I thought it was called a Nex Pigs until you said Playground but anyway it just looks like one of those Christmas fad toys that sells well over Xmas but then is quickly forgotten about. Was it big on tiktok or something? The game selection for the subscription looks terrible as well.
Looks like a it could be a decent present if your kids are fat though.
@Rich33 @Member_the_game @RoomWithaMoose It's fine guys, I accept your apology, anyway see you in the November sales article when the PS5 mops the floor with the Switch 2 again.
@RoomWithaMoose I don't think it was that pointless since we learned you have anger issues and are easily triggered when Playstation outperforms Nintendo, in fact if you think about it for a second without raging then I actually did you a favour so maybe a thanks is in order? Actually, on second thought you should save the thanks until you've worked through those issues then it will have more meaning behind it since apparently everything is just pointless to you at the moment.
@Rich33 Yeah you're definitely missing something but I'm not entirely sure how you missed it if you actually read my comments.
People seem to be hyper focusing on comparing them launch aligned so they can just keep parroting that it's not a good comparison. Except I was never comparing them launch aligned, I was just comparing the last 2 months in a row which is a fair comparison and the PS5 outsold Switch 2 both times and with these black Friday deals it looks like they'll sell better this month as well but I said all this before so I'm not sure how you didn't get it.
@RoomWithaMoose You're starting to sound a bit paranoid there bud are you sure you're okay? Well anyway since the PS5 is actually pulling away from the switch 2 as in the gap is widening so any dreams you and member had about the Switch 2 outselling it during the year were just that and since the article actually had some interesting relevant sales data, I think we should just leave it there since it's probably not good for your blood pressure and I've got stuff to do today so bye and try and relax a bit if you can.
@RoomWithaMoose Why so defensive? I'm not the one getting worked up by the looks of it and I understand that wasn't his intention but I pointed out there's still some interesting sales data there and a better comparison to be made.
You don't have to agree but a 5 year old console outselling it's new rival so soon after it released is pretty interesting. Oh and it's the last 2 months in a row not just one and if they win this month it'll start to look like it could be the trend.
Anyway if you and him are not interested in any of this and it's all so irrelevant why even bother clicking on the article? Just to tell people it's silly and they should ignore it? Why's that exactly? What is it about that sales data that annoys you so much?
@RoomWithaMoose It isn't a good comparison, it's better to compare what's happening with the latest sales that are being tracked and it's pretty obvious PS5 is winning.
@Member_the_game It also says in the article - "In fact, in October specifically, Sony’s console registered a 36% increase in sales which saw it assert its position as the best-selling system of the month."
PS5 has actually outsold it in the UK for the last 2 months in a row now and this was before the Black Friday deals even started. It's going to be interesting to see the November sales.
That's decent for 2 days of tracking for the Japanese PS5 but to really compete in Japan you need a handheld. Still I wouldn't be surprised if the PS5 actually outsells the Switch 2 worldwide over Xmas or at least gets close despite being out a lot longer than it.
It's not DOA because it will shift a couple of million units just like the SteamDeck but with those numbers it'll be just as insignificant as the SteamDeck.
SteamDeck got a massive amount of fake praise online and still does but it didn't make a difference it still flopped despite what the SteamDeck users and the Steam fanatics say.
It was acceptable because they were battling Xbox for the US and Europe but now that they've destroyed Xbox, they can get back to competing with Nintendo.
Yōtei is better in every way. The people thinking it's not are just blinded by nostalgia and the fact it's harder to have an impact on them the second time round.
I love these type of games, I still think they have a lot of charm to them.
This and Terminator 2D are some of the games I'm looking forward to most for the rest of 2025. I'll wait for some reviews though just to make sure they aren't broken messes but I'm not actually that interested in the scores they get. As long as there's nothing game breaking wrong with them I'll probably pick them up day one.
Pachter is full of it. He also said Nintendo is a dumb company a couple of years ago but if you look at his client list it makes sense why he goes after Sony and Nintendo and praises Xbox.
Microsoft is actually one of his biggest clients but Sony and Nintendo don't do business with him.
I thought his voice was great and from what we've seen in the trailer it looked like he has nailed the performance. I'll obviously have to wait until I play it to see exactly how good he is in the role but that trailer has left me confident he'll be able to pull it off.
$650 for a Series X is a total ripoff. The 2TB being more expensive than a PS5 Pro is madness as well.
Xbox should just discontinue the console and go full Sega at this point because nobody was really buying the console to begin with and even less people are going to buy it now.
@RagnarLothbrok We get it you can't separate the art from the artist and that's fine. The people who want to play it will play it but your last comment is just nonsense and nothing more than a weird gut feeling.
I'd rather lose 175gb then get a price hike because that money can be used towards an SSD that'll give you a lot more space anyway but it does feel wrong to see them going backwards but it's what it's I guess since this is the better option in my opinion.
@atthegates 3rd party has to pay 30% like they do on a lot of other storefronts so Sony usually charges the same as them. Constantly undercutting them would make them look bad to 3rd party publishers.
This is obviously convenient for Sony because they have an excuse to charge more and Green Man Gaming takes a lower cut since they don't have the same overhead.
Come to think of it I doubt Steam has the same overhead as playstation so they should actually be charging less like Green Man.
@atthegates Well since you said quid I thought you were talking about pounds and no the majority still buy straight from Steam like I said and don't go to 3rd party sellers. Konami also sets the price not Sony.
@atthegates You're obviously comparing the deluxe edition price to the standard edition on PC also they are exactly the same price on Steam which is were the majority will buy it. Most people don't bother looking for steam keys elsewhere and the game is the £70 on both.
