@Oram77 Not exclusives or prioritising, but designing a game around the specs of a certain platform. Hades 2 and Silksong are designed around the specs of NS1, GTA6 around the specs of PS5, etc. And as a publisher, I would target NS2, PS4 and SteamDeck to address a very big market (which also includes lower-spec PCs).
Really? I find it very likely that SE regrets its decision to launch FF16 as a PS5 exclusive. As a game like MH Rise, targeting Switch with superior PS4 and PS5 versions, FF16 would’ve had more success.
Developing for Switch 2 should also be cheaper than for PS5 due to the lower graphical fidelity (textures, polygon models). Switch 2 targeting games could run well on SteamDeck and PS4, a platform with a vital user base all over the world. And customers are happy with UE5 titles without its key technologies Lumen, Nanite and VSMs (publishers less so, but the market dictates).
Switch 2 is the technological sweet spot for new games with mass appeal.
GTA5 is not on Switch because of its poor online experience when playing in handheld, according to an anonymous source from R* a few years ago. R* would have ported GTA5 only for bringing GTA Online to a wider audience, that’s what counts for R*.
20k per week would mean 1m per year, so 6-8m lifetime. PS4 sold less than 10m, while PS2 shifted more than 24m units. Today’s dominance of PlayStation in the console market as the target platform for most games stems largely from that 24m units. Europe with its huge PS5 numbers can’t save this position. PC and Switch are huge threats for the global role of the PlayStation ecosystem.
These low numbers for PlayStation in Japan are particularly low because of the announcement of the cheaper model.
But in general they are very dangerous for the PlayStation ecosystem as a whole, because Japanese games are an important part of the PS experience. If studios like SE and Capcom decide to make the Switch their main target platform, PS will loose a lot of its appeal. MH Rise and the Switch 2 release of RE9 on the same day as on PS5 are warning signs the Sony management couldn’t ignore any more.
Turn-based, what people missed in the last FF games
Handmade by an indie studio, the opposite of a big company producing only sequels with AI
I haven’t played it, because I don’t like turn-based RPGs. My impression from the articles and videos I consumed is: It‘s a very good, classical RPG with a new visual style in a fresh setting.
Is it better than it competitors as a game? Or is it also it’s role of a political symbol?
@Ainu20 Accessories like controllers usually remain unchanged for the whole generation. I see PSVR2 as an accessory.
Maybe I‘m especially mad because of the outrageous PSVR2 game support from SIE. The high price indicated a good support. Now everyone can see that it‘s crap, so they had to reduce the price…
Sony has to get a better market position in Japan not only for business in Japan, but worldwide.
With PS1 and PS2, many important Japanese IPs moved to PlayStation as their new home. FF, RE, MH and other series are crucial for its appeal. And they have a huge audience in Japan. If the big Japanese third-party publishers change from PS to Switch as their main platform, then PS looses its appeal not only in Japan, but worldwide. The catalogue of PS5 exclusives would look pretty direct sequels without them.
This list of GOTY contenders is a mirrow for gaming in 2025 (mobile excluded):
4 of 6 games are sequels, with 3 of them having relatively small evolutions and only KCD2 making a big step compared to KCD1.
Not only from that perspective, I find it sad the Indy wasn’t nominated for GOTY. An original and unique first-person action-adventure, with great visuals and acting, masterfully crafted.
@Oram77 There is no other game that for me transports the feeling of sadness so well as Majora‘s Mask. Incredible what they made in less than two years.
Reminds me of the firemen of British Rail in the 70s. Due to replacement of steam engines with diesel and electric locomotives, firemen lost their task. But the workers union made a deal: They got their salaries for a few more years, but they had to sit in the locomotive doing nothing.
A two-player Horizon game with a single player option sounds interesting. The both existing Horizon games follow the Ubi-formula, Guerrilla is not well known for innovative gameplay mechanics. So a big question mark from me on that idea.
I still believe that Guerrilla is cooking something very similar to HSF. If it were cancelled, many assets could be used for a proper Horizon 3, which most of us would prefer.
If this game becomes successful, Sony group management will ask themselves why they should spend additional money on Guerrilla‘s attempt and not porting HSF to PS5 instead.
The PC, with its various upcoming living room boxes, will be a stronger competitor to PlayStation than anything else in the last 15 years.
Strengthening this competitor with former PS-exclusives clearly becomes more and more questionable from Sony‘s perspective, regardless of the truth of this „rumour“.
Yes, I know that, and I wanted to adress another aspect I find more relevant:
People are happy with art of low quality, aka kitsch. They get mad if AI is used to generate it. For them, the creator is more important than the creature.
I say: Don’t be happy with poor art! Seek for high and memorable quality, with unique and consistent direction! THAT can’t be generated with AI, for that talented artists are needed.
CoD is generic as hell. And AI is great for generic stuff. Don’t be satisfied with generic stuff!
95% of the people are fine with kitsch, this should also apply to CoD players. Most „artists“ don’t produce art, but kitsch. AI is great in producing kitsch, in fact it can’t produce art and probably never will.
These Calling Cards are so mundane, it’s perfect for AI.
I‘m fascinated that many people are allergic to the use of AI but not to images of poor quality which were produced before by human beings.
Maybe at some point, people find out that games are cheaper on Steam, and online multiplayer is for free.
The new important markets for gaming are centred around mobile and PC, and established publishers are adopting. And it’s not only Valve pushing the PC. Microsoft is both a major publisher and a hardware platform provider, and it’s pushing towards PC as well.
There is no question that console-like PCs are a major threat to classical consoles. And PlayStation is the last remaining classical console!
The gameplay looks so interchangeable, it's no wonder Sony is afraid of X. Tencent knows exactly how to build and operate successful MMOs. Definitely an interesting competition!
PS5‘s big advantage over PS4 is the absence of a strong Xbox. While the Xbox One was a somewhat weak contender, the even lower sales numbers of Xbox Series X/S are an indicator that many Xboys moved to Team Blue.
Check this graph. The combined numbers of this generation are even shrinking compared to gen 8 and gen 7:
I hoped for a Bloodborne Remastered as the final announcement. But it’s my fault to have unrealistically high expectations.
Will the cheap JP-only PS5 make a big splash? Yes, if splash means a boost for a couple of weeks. But gaming habits in Nippon favour handhelds and smaller systems, and PS Portal just isn’t enough of a handheld.
There are still magical success stories in this cold business, and this is one of them. Who would have guessed that the hardest competitor to Bungie and Marathon is a studio of DICE veterans and their second game? (In fact, development of The Finals started AFTER that of ARC.)
I am sceptical that PS5 Pro will have a long lifetime after the release of the PS6, which could have similar manufacturing costs.
I would see the PS5 Pro more like the Xbox One X, which was also a premium machine and got quickly replaced by the Xbox Series S. The PS4 Pro on the other hand was obviously much cheaper to manufacture and almost replaced the base PS4 with its similar price point.
I find a 300 $ superslim PS5, arriving a few months after the PS6 and with a similar case design and the same silicon technology, much more realistic.
Thank you, I could find it. The order of the articles on the main page changed: For today‘s articles, the newest are on top. For yesterday’s articles (and previous days), the newest articles are on the bottom, a reverse chronological order to what I‘m used to. Maybe it has been always this way and I never noticed, but I‘m definitely surprised.
I think it is legitimate to include Wii Sports into this list, because it was the main reason why many people bought their Wiis. That is clearly not the case for Astro‘s Playroom, but that title is just a phenomenal piece of software and much better than many other games on the system.
Astro‘s Playroom is a compact but complete game, not just a tech demo. Wii Sports is regarded the third-best selling video game in that article, with less than 82m sales.
Is Astro‘s Playroom now the third-best selling video game?
You took the information straight from Eurogamer, and that’s fair. But I‘m really interested how to handle bundled games in these sales rankings.
Wii Sports was definitively THE game most people bought their Wii for, so I find it right to factor it in.
How will we handle Astro‘s Playroom? It is in my opinion much more than a tech demo, a fully fledged out game with a reasonable length. Assume the PS5 sales would be 82m at the moment, would Astro‘s Playroom be considered the third-best selling game?
I don’t have a fixed opinion on that, and I‘m interested in yours.
Yes, quality is okay now. Maybe they could bump up the bitrate further without sacrificing latency, because image quality in high-detail scenes (lots of grass) is still suffering a lot. Today’s Wifi speeds shouldn’t limit the bitrate to 15 Mbps. I guess it’s also not the Portal, but the PS5 which can’t encode with more than 15 Mbps.
The latest update to 6.0.0 should bring 3ad Audio, but I can’t get it running.
Okay, let’s break it down: Switch has a mediocre market share in many European countries, a high market share in the US and absolute domination in Japan. PS5 rules Europe, has a high market share in the US and a small market share in Japan.
„Real worldwide appeal“ means for me „at least mediocre market share in all relevant markets“.
This article shows only the software sales. There were more Switch Lite units sold than all of PlayStation combined. And Switch Lite sales are small compared to Switch OLED and Switch 2 numbers:
Nintendo Switch (2) is the only console line with a real worldwide appeal. Last week in Japan, Nintendo Switch Lite alone shifted more sales than all of PlayStation combined, not to mention Switch OLED and Switch 2:
So far, it was regarded as a PS5 peripheral. With its new Cloud Streaming, it will become more its own thing, especially if it will stream also PS6 games via Cloud Streaming.

Re: Mobile MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Seems to Have Captured Lots of Attention Already
@Oram77 Yes, I find it possible that SIE would cancel Guerrilla‘s game.
SIE is no stranger in killing multiplayer games from its major studios, even after years of development; you know the examples.
And a live service game lives from its huge and loyal audience. Splitting it into two harms both games.
But on the other hand, I still doubt that Hermen knows how to make live service games interesting and profitable.
