@GymratAmarillo If Sony losing any type of Call of Duty exclusivity is not a defeat then you clearly don't understand the amount of money Sony won't be making.
Just to inform you, Call of Duty has made more revenue for Sony than Uncharted, Horizon, and The Last of Us put together.
@Shepherd_Tallon : You seem to forget that Jim Ryan opposed the entire deal and refused to sign the Call of Duty deal regardless of what Microsoft offered PlayStation stating publicly and I quote "I DON'T WANT A DEAL, I JUST WANT TO STOP THE ACQUISITION."
"If you want to have your console standing tall, you'll need to hand over $29.99. Given that the new PS5 will sell at the same price as the current models, it's a bit cheeky of Sony to demand an additional purchase like this."
The game didn't fail because it ran at 30fps, but because it was an overall boring and uninspiring gaming experience
People quickly forget that back then 30fps was absolutely acceptable....but with fierce competition of the likes of Forza surpassing any other racer Sony took it to the extreme and closed the studio unnecessarily.
@GeeEssEff :
Everything in gaming is "unnecessary"....not true at all, it has been proven that all sorts of entertainment from from Music, TV and even Gaming is crucial for the human mind to unwind....with that said the PlayStation Portal is by far one of the most unnecessary pieces of hardware in gaming overall.
We get another title that was a financial disaster...it's like if Sony was waiting for Saints Row and The Callisto Protocol to hit rock bottom prices for them to offer them on PSPlus.
Epic spends millions yearly on nonsensical character skins from IPs they don't own, and on top of that they are offering 100% revenue to those developers who go exclusively with them as a tactic to hurt Steam.
I knew this would happen the moment he failed in sabotaging the Microsoft acquisition....Jim Ryan knows he can never be on Phil Spencers good side as the rest of the gaming industry would need him to be especially now with Activision no longer on PlayStation's pockets.
also tells pre-order customers that Sony “has already received royalty payments from you on your orders that Sony PlayStation now wants us to destroy and not ship to you”.
Wow....this totally reaffirms my thoughts about Sony....they are sure the biggest anti consumer entity out there.
It's quite disgusting how they treat their partners and customers.
It's expected, especially with the massive success of Starfield now reporting better sales than expected while available practically for free on GamePass.

@Kevw2006 Thank you for making my point even more undeniable, the fact that Sony will be losing all that profit shows the monumental defeat.
It will take a lot more Uncharted and Last of Us sales to make up for just the Call of Duty DLC.

That information is all plastered on Google.
Re: PS5, PS4 Players Will 'Remain Welcome' As Xbox Closes $69 Billion Activision Blizzard Buyout
@Shepherd_Tallon : No need to make up excuses for Jim Ryan....you know well he only signed the deal when he was already defeated.
But anyways, I'm glad we cleared the facts.

Greats news for Xbox the soon to be the IP holder.
Re: PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA
"The Disc Drive will be sold separately for $79.99 plus a console price hike"
Making the digital PS5 total investment far more expensive than any other console in existence.
Not to mention an additional $30.00 for the stand if you ever want the flexibility of seeing that console vertically.
Re: PS5 Slim Doesn't Come with a Vertical Stand, Needs to Be Bought Separately
Sony punishing Digital PS5 owners by increasing its price by $50.00 and if they want a disc drive that's another $79.00

You guys said it best!
Re: PS5 Slim Doesn't Come with a Vertical Stand, Needs to Be Bought Separately
@CielloArc Other slim consoles never needed one, the PS5 does because of its very unstable shape.
Re: PS5 Slim Doesn't Come with a Vertical Stand, Needs to Be Bought Separately
A multimillion dollar company Sony pissing people off for just a cheap addon that should come with the console.

@nicugoalkeper : People are free to burn their own money no matter on how unnecessary the product might be.
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
Did Sony forget cellphones now days can perfectly handle remote play without an issue?
But I guess plenty of people would gladly burn money on this unnecessarily product.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Has a Performance Mode on PS5, But It's Been Built as a '30FPS Experience'
@Mauzuri
How can you compare Starfield which is a much bigger gaming experience technically and in replayability than a 10 hour game like Alan Wake 2.
If you are going to troll next time make sure you comparing apples to apples.
Re: Alan Wake 2 Has a Performance Mode on PS5, But It's Been Built as a '30FPS Experience'
"30fps experience"?
That's should read more like a
"30fps limitation "
