Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Games Reveal Event Meet Your Expectations?

@sanderev Most of their games(on XBSX) are going to be on PC, as well as most of their 1st party. Isn't that the reason you're not getting a PS5 anyway? Where I come from, they call that being a hypocrite. By your logic, you shouldn't buy either console. Lol. I don't see a win here that you're claiming, but I do see plenty of fallacy from what I've from within your comments.

@Eldritch Uhm...you just compared the US(One country) to Europe( a whole continent). I'm pretty sure that's not how it's compared. Also, Europe is a larger continent than North America, so of course it has more sales overall. However, the US alone, has the largest market individually. Hence why the event was cancelled. Not trying to say Europe isn't important(because it is), but it's just a fact that the U.S. alone, has a lot of impact around the world.

Re: US and EU PlayStation Blogs Merge Into One to Streamline Sony Messaging

@Cartmanbruh Europe isn't that much bigger than North America and don't see why it matters either way as both are pretty much on par with sales. I will say Sony dominates Europe by a lot over Microsoft, so I doubt they'll forget about it. Lol. How they incorporate that into one blog is anyone's guess. I'd imagine they figured out a solution otherwise, they wouldn't have merged them together in the first place.

@Chryssy75 I'd imagine they are hearing all the complaints. Problem is that gamers expect them to just wave a magic wand and everything magically appears. That's just not how it works. Maybe they'll get what they want, maybe they don't. It all depends on what is possible with the hardware they have to work with.

@Ptpete I'm sure we'd all love to have everything, but unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. I'm content with PS4 b/c, as that's really as far as I'll go with b/c in general. I think that PS Now will eventually evolve and become a bigger service that offers PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games in the future. With any luck, at a fair price.

@Truth_Stalker If you can't handle opinions(which yours means about as little as the space between your ears), then perhaps you should look over the ones that bother you and converse with those who agree with you. Simple, right? Otherwise, expect that not everyone is going to be in agreement. I comprehend just fine what people are trying to say, I just don't agree with them. If that gives you disdain, then many people must live rent free in your head I guess. It's the internet. I'd grow a thick skin.

@Chryssy75 Sony can do a lot of things, but they aren't required to nor really have to to be honest. They are moving in their own direction. I know that may bother those small number of gamers that don't like it, but they do have options elsewhere. I'm buying a PS5 day one as well, and I'll be using it for new experiences. But hey, maybe they'll give everyone b/c with ps3, ps2 and ps1 when they feel it makes sense.

@FKUBT I think the funniest thing here is people like yourself think it's a loss when no one really even uses it. It's no different than a kid getting a toy from his parents. He/she will play with it for a bit, then said toy sits in a closet collecting dust for months or even years. That's b/c in a nutshell. You may see it as downplaying it and that's your opinion, but the real fact of the matter is it's not a huge feature that everyone buys a new console for. They buy it for new games. Have a good one.

@Jarobusa The only thing that will matter to me when PS5 and Series X release, is new experiences. What you mentioned will probably be enticing to the very small number of gamers who will use b/c. However, I'm not one of them. Also, trying to talk up a console that really only has one selling point(which doesn't say much) isn't really helping.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

@Freakdahouse Lol, no. There really isn't a lot of money made into it. Most of those who will use b/c (very small in number), already have their games and will buy any games they don't have , second hand instead of new. So yes, b/c isn't all that important to most who buy new hardware.

@GoblinKing86 Spot on. I don't know why people think this is some type of win. The majority of those who buy a new console, buy it for the new experiences. I mean it is a nice feature, but even I wouldn't use it that often with all the new releases taking up my game time.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

@AdamNovice Yep. I sure don't. I want new games, and I'm sure the majority will have the same sentiments. B/C is just an added bonus, and not a requirement. If you want to play your older games so bad, just hold on to your old hardware. Still have my ps3 and 360 hooked up.
