@Juanalf sounds smart to me. I would buy a God of war shirt and i still haven’t seen a date on that last Sony RPG. Easy to troll when 90 plus million buy a console to play Fortnite. ES6 could be junk or could be amazing but trying to have a diverse line up is smart. Something Sony has shown this gen they can’t produce.

Back in the 360 days, me and my buddies played a ton of Borderlands and Gears of War Co-op. I loved co-op games when we all had time to play together. Now it’s a lot harder to find the time. But i am happy for Borderlands. I always liked the series. The guns and the art style. Some how it always lured me in.

I do however think they need to change the series up some with BL5. Not sure what all changes they need to insert. But it needs a fresh coat to gain player excitement.

Asha asked for players to trade in their Xbox’s last week. I never thought Sony would follow suite. But here we are. It makes sense. Try to get them back into hands that will buy more services and games.

@Random_play05 Most Japanese tech has been shut down or no longer does business there. So big fish in a small pond. In America Sony is slightly bigger than a start up tech company.

Look up 10-20 years ago what Sony made and Sold to today’s market and they are shrinking at a large scale. Without PS Sony is small. Which sucks, i used to like and even buy a decent amount of their products. These day’s i own nothing Sony wise outside of a PS. MS, Apple and Google make more in quarter than Sony’s net worth. No i an’t kidding.

@In-between-games hence I said Japanese giant and not European Giant. I know this I am ready for Zelda in 4 days.

@In-between-games I am sure that Japan has chosen Nintendo over Sony. This game I know jack crap about, so I can’t say how it will perform.

@get2sammyb so your saying they choose the real Japanese Giant instead?

@psmr oh i am good with that i defend the trash Xbox articles on here all the time. Gamers and this sites writers talk a big game like they want competition, and that exclusives is why consoles sell and Xbox has no Exclusives so this is why their box isn’t in demand.

Then the moment Xbox does provide some comp and keep their IP to themselves, it’s they can’t survive without PS, and those games should be on PS. Even tho no one bought them in the first place. They wish the Xbox to die off, and brag how it’s “dead” yet say Sony’s needs competition.

There is nothing harsher than an ex, we know that in relationships. They go from love to this burn the Earth hate for someone or thing. Most of this site is ex Xbox 360 fans and while they pretend they aren’t and i know some weren’t. You can tell the ones that were.

Look at the software sales of 360 vs PS3 in Europe and tell me i am wrong. But i did disagree with you for now. MS dug a massive hole for the Xbox brand, it will take years to even start to get the average person to start thinking about buying an Xbox again. Xbox has a long road ahead to get to where they want to be. I think they have been doing great lately. But there is still a long road to drive before they are even mentioned in the same breathe as PS with sales. Everything else, for my taste they are already ahead.

@themightyant i agree. I think the PS5 hardware choices and Series X were really big leaps. I wouldn’t play on last gen to save my life at the moment. The PS5 Pro to me is eh. Sometimes it’s so good it’s like wow this is a huge leap and other games it looks and runs the same or worse. Dev to dev is a big factor on the platform. Where as with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X every game just run and looked so much. To me at least and many review scores.

The PS4 as i have said on here many times bored me as they had one game type and all games followed and copied it. Sure i guess it works for those that like that style. PS5 at the start excited me cause they looked to be branching out and adding some variety to their line up and as i have said before Sony doesn’t house the type of talent to make many types of games it seems. Those titles have been canceled or bombed. They are so locked into a few game types that it bores me again to an extent. They are so afraid of their IP that it can’t sell enough that they latched onto Marvel and don’t want to stop that, closed Japan down and lost others along the way that when i look at what’s left i can almost predict their future line up and that to me is a lack of why i like PS.

Sure i could say well MS is predictable as well. It’s going to be Halo, Gears , Forza, Elder Scrolls and fallout. But to me those are titles i am more happy to play plus now we know Diablo 5 and StarCraft is coming and very very soon from a friend i talked to just this past week we will be getting World of Warcraft on Xbox Consoles with controller support. I say all this and someone will say i still don’t like PS, they only say that cause i like Xbox more. But truth is i am looking forward to PS6 and i truly hope Sony does continue to chase new ideas and genres cause that will keep me turning on my console.

@psmr PlayStation is dead - look at the sales 🤔
Xbox is bouncing back - look at the sales 🤔

I am openly one of the biggest Xbox fans on this page that also really likes PS and Nintendo but Xbox is not bouncing back sales wise yet. They are delivering better features and updates. For my play style better exclusives and content. But not sales. PS5 is still the name gamers say when talking about games around the world. Not Xbox. However i don’t care which one is selling more, i care which one i prefer to turn on and how it works and flows and for me the Xbox is better. But PS is still the man, and to be the man you have to beat the man. Sorry seen a chance to slip in a Ric Flair quote HAHA

I have said this many times on here, i still think the PS5 is a better complete package compared to PS4( for my taste) so i am happy to see it outselling it or keeping pace. But dang i wish there was a few more titles on PS5 that made me play on it more. Sounds like Sony is thinking about going back to some of their older IP with PS6/PS5 next gen and that for sure will be a good thing for me. Bring on Sly, KillZone and others.

I like the MP, i got around 10 hours in it. It’s not perfect. Most games aren’t. But it’s really fun, i do think the maps are holding it back some. I’d like some smaller and mid size maps. The TTK is just a hair off but that’s an easy update fix. Overall this is the best COD package in a long time for me. I love shooters, so i am enjoying MW4 and E-Day PVP at the moment. But i can’t wait for GTA 6 and Zelda next month. So many good games this year.

I said this on here a few days ago. The campaign was amazing and I got around 8-10 hours on the PVP now and am loving it. The maps could be a little bit better, I won’t deny that. But the gameplay is really good and they will tweak a few issues here and there. Happy to see it being back to a solid game for fans. I will still play more E-day PVP than MW4. But it’s nice having both be fun to play.

@Northern_munkey @nomither6

I agree with northern Munkey that COD don’t feel like BF to me, i have both games. MW4 is the best all around game package they have put out in many years for my taste and play style. The campaign is top 3 ever in my opinion. But i am a PVP guy, so that is were i judge my money and times worth in COD. Again i only got to play around 3 hours yesterday but i really like the gunplay & movement, but to answer your question 6, i would have to agree with many people and say the maps are eh.. just eh… some i would say are a 6/10 and others like rooftops i would give a 4. So for sure they need to add more maps and we know they will but they need to be at least some 7’s and 8’s to keep me playing and not just staying on E-Day which maps are some of the best in it’s PVP history in my opinion. My birthday was 10/20 so i took off a week and played a lot of E-day and now i am trying to get as much time with MW4 as i can and so far i am enjoying myself.

Next month is all about Zelda and GTA6

They must be bots complaining, this game is great. Plays much closer to the 360 cods, just the feel of it. I am really liking it so far. Only 3 hours into PVP, but i would give it a solid 8 with the campaign getting a 9.5

@RoomWithaMoose Right!! 8.8 million in sales as of this writing. Was on GP and PC GP day and date. But you know Push Square and Sammy out here doing Sony a solid when Sony is about to be in court, AGAIN. Jailbroken and could have given us BC with discs and didn’t do it. Yet Xbox did. But you can’t say those things to them cause they either don’t listen or label you a fanboy and go on with their pitchforks and BS articles. This site averages 4 Xbox posts a week. For a platform that isn’t neck and neck with PS in sales. Isn’t saying anything about PS as a platform. It’s just shady as hell to me. But here we are.

@Krlozgod not sure if it would to not. FH6 sold over 8 million close to 9 million now on Xbox and PC and thats with it being on GP day and date. So it’s likely players just don’t want to play Gears. I don’t know. Or FH is just that good. But the numbers are very different.

@BowTiesAreCool i can’t use my PS5 i have the Pro and it’s all digital. I don’t own physical games for all 3 platforms. But my tv has Dolby vision and my surround sound is Dolby Atmos so i use one of my Series X for movies since Xbox has Dolby and the audio is so so much better coming from the 4k ultra disc than streaming. The streaming apps compress the audio down to next to nothing. So that is my setup for now. But as always in tech things are changing. But Xbox having Dolby is so nice. I even played a few games on PS with HDR and then played them on Xbox with Dolby vision and it looks so much better. Wish Sony would pay the license for it for the PS6. But i highly doubt they will. They like to make their own audio which is just ok, it’s serviceable but not Atmos.

@Krlozgod Gears 1 was the 3rd time Xbox players had the game. And if you owned the Xbox One ultimate it was a free update to Gears Reloaded. So there was no reason to buy it on Xbox, it was free. However it didn’t sell that much on PS. Only Forza did good on PS.

@nomither6 yeah they get their free games and what not. But man to honestly think it’s not being a fanboy and then telling me i am the fanboying for filling in the facts. That is the wow factor for me.

Apple’s Mac OS take a little time to get used to. It certainly runs different than Windows. But if you have an IPhone or IPad there is so much cross over in the ways those work that you know more of the OS than some think they do. But for gaming Apple is not the place. Well blizzard games run excellent there but that is about it.

So i own all 3 consoles and have plenty to play. I’m the dummy that is saving up spare cash now so when Helix and PS6 drop i can rush to try and pre order. I mean if scalpers snag these and think they can mark them up 2-3X i would like to see how that works out for them. Remember i never say never. HAHA

@nomither6 owning more than 1 platform seriously does not compute with a lot of people, surprisingly 😂

Neither does common sense or facts apparently. The funny thing is i don’t even like MS as a company. I only like the Xbox cause i dislike Sony’s controllers. I am a hardcore Apple fan and have been since the iPod HAHA. You know me tho, i try my best for the industry to have less fake news and more integrity behind it but as you told me a long time ago that is a losing battle. I mean for all the dumb stuff Xbox does, why does this site write half the story or even the story at all other than pure hate for the platform and competition. I used to love this site. But Sammy has in many ways become a troll for Sony. I suppose articles like these are their Christmas bonus checks LOL .

@Khlobenny they have 30 million, but MS and even sometime Sony don’t do a great job of sharing all the numbers. But GP rakes in some nice money. Trust me if it was 700K MS would get rid of GP and likely Xbox itself as that is the only thing left on the platform that drives players to it. I mean i really like Xbox but even i admit without GP i am not sure they could survive that PR.

@Khlobenny hate to be this guy but Xbox has a ton more than 700k GP subscribers. A quick google search would even show you that GP has 28-32 million subscribers. Do the math on how much money that brings in a month.

Think of it this way, Sony has Sony Music right? But no one buy CD’s no more. How does Sony music not go out of business for signing artists and producing albums. Surely they get a cut from Spotify and Apple Music, no?

@DennisReynolds when and where have i claimed to be neutral. I am clearly a bigger Xbox fan than PS. The controller, the UI, the refund policy, the store, play anywhere and quick resume all say i main that console. However i also state that i have owned every PS ever made. Love many of the IP’s Sony used to make and some they still do. Dislike their controller designs, lack of features i prefer on Xbox and use my PS5 and Switch 2 for exclusives. Buddy if you haven’t seen me write that on here 200 times, let me Venmo you some cash to get an eye exam.

@Llamageddon I appreciate you MORE than you even KNOW. Arguably the most accurate and nicest post of me on here by a mile. Owning all 3 platforms should allow me to come on here or the other 2 sites and speak my mind. After all i am buying playing and supporting the games. Those that don’t like what i have to say is more than understandable. But i am not on here saying PS is trash. It’s not. I really like mine, just wish there was some better exclusives for me to play on it.

Gears is my second all time favorite IP and even i will tell you i wish it would have sold more copies. Mostly to have more players to play with but also cause it’s a great well made game. But i also don’t allow this site to leave out the fact that the other site listed the coalitions projects they assisted and worked on during that time. So no this game didn’t cost $500 to make. Sammy is fire starter for clicks against Xbox and while I think Xbox does plenty on it’s own to poke fun at there is no reason to not include the full story to throw them under the bus for something not true. I stand on that hill and i expect to be hit with rocks from others that don’t think for themselves.

@cainhurst94 i am not sure what Nintendo can get for that type of money in this day and age of RAM prices and other components. It be nice to make it for as cheap as possible, but i am afraid even with doing that it will be well above the first Lite.

@rjejr oh for sure Oot will sell gangbusters. I can’t wait for it. The music in that game sticks in my head all day.

Xbox’s game is the same game as PS’s. It’s GTA 6 and COD It will be the biggest selling games on their platform. They only have 35 million players compared to Sony’s 95, ball park numbers by the way. But it’s going to sell a lot of copies there and many that like or want an Xbox will buy one to play GTA 6 there. Again the larger share of course going to Sony for GTA 6. But GTA 6 and Zelda and COD will close out the year and nothing can get in eithers way. Hence we got a lot of games in September and October this year.

2026 has been a banger year for me. So many great games. Plus i can’t wait for God of War and Fable to start 2027. It’s a great software lineup across the board.

@Jay767 against GTA 6 and others i am not sure it will sell the needed amount to make all that back. But they could throw it on sale for $50 for the holidays and i could see it selling some copies. But not sure anything full price even gets attention with GTA 6 3 weeks away.

@rjejr well said, i do think the Switch 2 Lite will be a huge driving force of the casual sales. That price point will open it up to more little kids. Plus likely as you noted a big game or two will be out around its launch. Nintendo is doing just fine. Seeing how expensive parts are and not even needing to have a Mario game there day one to break records.

@lacerz thank you for that update. I was ball parking but i remembered some of the figures. Meanwhile all Sammy writes is about Gears of war not selling to spread console hate. As if it needed more fuel on the fire.

And that is on a console with 100 million players. Which i try and remind people on here don’t really matter as 60 million of those only turn on their PS5’s once a month to play FIFA with the guys.

@Redefaul it say’s it in the article that the coal was working on several other projects. A lot of EPIC and Unreal Engine. They even worked on that Matrix demo that was shown off years ago. They worked on Avowed and many others. Gears of war DID NOT cost $500 million, but it shouldn’t even matter for this site as it’s not PS news. The game didn’t come to PS and other 1st party titles are likely not coming either.

The funny thing to me is PS fans acting like it would have sold on PS if it were to come there. Meanwhile they are on this site always saying they don’t want shooters, live service or any other type of game that isn’t a 3rd person action adventure story game with limited scope and features. Thats not this game. It would have sold maybe 100-150K

@Llamageddon thats a smart way of looking at it. I agree with it. This hobby is meant to be fun, and relaxing and enjoyable. With the way people act online you would think gaming is a punishment to them. So anytime the industry can get some love and good press, i agree with you, it should be shared.

Is that the biggest update list of fixes all time or was it CyberPunk? Cause that is a massive list. Happy to see it cause i would like to play this at some point. Likely when it’s $40 and running super clean and smooth.

@Llamageddon yeah that game is going to be headline story after headline story for a while after launch. Even in real world news it already has articles showing how many workers are taking time off work during the week of its launch. Then of course we will have the dollar amount articles on how much it’s made in certain time. Don’t forget the articles talking about how it’s the biggest entertainment launch of any medium all time.

Oh lord we are doomed aren’t we? HAHA

@get2sammyb yeah i agree with that Sammy. I think NIntendo will explode in sales when we see the new games it’s cooking in its big IP. A New 3D Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Animal crossing etc etc has yet to be revealed. Plus a lot of parents are telling their kids to stick with their switch and to your point not diving into that upgrade price yet.

Sony and MS can get away easier with $500 dollar consoles. Nintendo that is a large ask to hand over to a 7-14 year old. That the parent knows is still hard on things. The Switch at $299 was a no brainer. $499 i think you are right, it’s a large ask.

I’m not a word salad guy i am looking for numbers. Wasn’t Wolverine sitting at 2.6-2.8 million sales last i seen a number? 6-7 million sales were what was needed to make money and of course give marvel the cut they were asking for.

Any update on that figure?

Hardware sales should go up again for GTA 6 and Zelda. Nintendo said they didn’t make enough for the demand of the Zelda Switch 2 console and controllers and plan to release more. Sony could sell some Pro’s when and if they can get some shipped to stores. Cause used ones selling for $1500 is just insane.

@Ainu20 they are the only Japanese company really still making anything there. They are dead last in everything they make not named PS. This year is the last year they own their TV’s as the deal with TCL owning 51% starts in April of 2027.

Sony used to be one of my favorite companies for electronics. Slowly over 15 years i don’t own anything from them anymore but a PS. There is no slight to be had with Nintendo, they are a games company and they rule Japan. The software sales are insanely in their favor. It’s more of me laughing at big fish small pond.

In America we have true giants, they are Apple, Microsoft and Google and others. It just makes me laugh when he writes it. He never misses the chance to use it either HAHA

@get2sammyb you crack with up when you say Japanese Giant. How are they a Giant when NIntendo outsells them and Sony hardly makes any products anymore in Japan. HAHA

But this is sad news, I like Ultra HD movies as they give me the best video and sound. It’s really the only few discs I buy a year as I’ve been digital only on games for over a decade. It’s the one form of physical that made sense to me. Games don’t. I wonder if this will greatly reduce the release’s on the format.

It does show that Sony will not reverse course on the PS6. This is a confirm digital only console. Which don’t upset me, but it sure is going to be interesting to see how Sony works with countries that still rely on physical media. I know those aren’t there main markets to consider, but loss of sales in that market surely can’t be ignored for the whole PS6 generation I wouldn’t think.

Japanese Giant, you really crack me up HAHAHA

I have the Sony InZone 7’s and they are really good. I don’t use them a lot but when i do they are very balanced. Fairly comfortable. I only use them on my PS5. I don’t love the dongle tho. That i could live without.

@Kakun thank you so much for the Bday wishes. Really appreciate it. Yes you are right the story and graphics in this years COD is awesome. If i had one knock on it, it was in the middle of the game they threw in one open world mission and then went back to the linear good stuff that was making it so great. I thought that slightly felt out of place but overall it’s a totally banger and good to see as everyone like to rip COD and sometimes they do it to themselves, but not this time. I expect it to do very well.

@get2sammyb thank you Sammy, i truly appreciate that buddy!

I would say top 3 campaign ever. Good to see, i can’t wait to dive into the PVP. This and Zelda are the only games that will get played and bought against the juggernaut GTA6. I suspect all 3 of those games will sell high numbers. I pre ordered all 3 along with Gears of War E Day and so far everything i have played has been well worth the time and money. Today is my birthday so i am off work for the week and plan to play as much as i can.

@GeoPlaysGames im glad you said that. I been saying that on here. Before Sony said all digital in 2028. They should have rolled out a Steam/Xbox Digital refund policy that matches or exceeds. They should have been updating the store, etc etc. now i know the announcement would still have been met poorly by some players. I totally get that but at least they would have had one leg to stand on. As it is, Sony made the announcement, told investors not to worry and left a big screw off to its player base. If they largely roll out this same store just slightly differently lay out and a filter or two for PS6, they are in bigger trouble than many understand.

It’s a small get if true but still a nice get. I am more interested in that Sly Cooper rumor and who would be making it. Now that for me is a system seller. I know i know a $1000 dollars to play Sly Cooper is crazy, i am not disagreeing with anyone thinking that. HAHA

You don’t say!! Even worse they won’t let their dev’s even talk about it. That is the part i find ugly. Well that and mainstream gaming outlets trying to make it seem like it’s ok and gamers should just allow Sony to do or take away anything they want.

Next gen is still exciting to me, i am ready for it. But the hornets nest is for sure upset and it takes a while before they stop stinging. This won’t just go away soon.

@JizCorden i think the Xbox fans that did that and to your point there were some that did are just as dumb.

I have always been neutral on Kojima. I like some of his games and Death Stranding wasn’t for me. I don’t get to high or to low on him.

Common sense always prevails.

@Americansamurai1 i think the PS6 is going to need smaller games in order to be profitable for some teams. If it’s $700-$900 cause i do not think Sony will market a $999.99 console. They likely don’t get the more casual crowd that guys a PS for FIFA and Fortnite. The hardcore gamers right now are angry at Sony and for good reason, so if some of them don’t support it that hurts. The faithful will be there but only when their wallets allow. If MS pulls major titles off PS that is a 30% cut loss on major titles. All in all who is left to buy the $300 million dollar games that struggle to make much money back now on 95 million consoles.

I think Sony would be wise to make smaller games from popular IP, like they did with say Astro Bot and take a more NIntendo like approach to budget if PS6 isn’t selling gang busters. Personally i would like that better, should mean quicker games, loved IP from the past and then throw in one big banger every now and again. Taking risks with Live Service on PS6 is going to be dicey i think.

Of course there will be Cross gen money they make and that will help them. But i am not sure for how long.

@Americansamurai1 couldn’t agree more. Which sucks for me cause i buy a PS console only for the 1st party games. I play all my 3rd party stuff on Xbox. So PS5 hasn’t done to much for me this generation. I am super happy if that rumor is true about Sly Cooper coming back and Killzone reboot from other studios. Now those Studio’s have to do a great job or it’s all for nothing. But at least it gives me something to look forward too.
