Wish someone would pay me to make random guesses. If anything MS are the most likely to pull out of the console market. As they're moving more into publishing and getting GP on everything. Saying it's been between Sony and MS makes no sense.
When GPU starts costing me money in a couple of years time and they're releasing all their games to PlayStation after a timed exclusive then I'll be ditching the Xbox.
@OldGamer999 Started doing the MS reward points again with the news that COD was going to be on GPU from day one. Mostly been playing Forza Motorsport. Its far better than it was when it first released. Thought GT7 is better. Though have played some random games as well to get the achievements for the monthly 1000 MS reward points.
Love these yearly wrap-ups. Got the Xbox one yesterday since I actually used the series X this year (451 hrs). Will be interesting to see the combined hours spent gaming this year. Last year was 1127 just for the PS5. I never even bothered checking the Xbox last year. Maybe a couple of hours it had. π
@Balaam_ I think the way Ghost of Tsushima did their trophies is the way it should be done. Plat for the main game and then other trophies split out into other lists so your not forced to play the multiplayer if u don't want to.
New TV arriving next week, though may as well upgrade the CX since I got the Pro. Got a physical copy of Stellar Blade and have ordered the physical copy of Black Myth: Wukong. So will be playing these over Xmas.
@Max_the_German Mobiles are important, but so is a console (for me anyway). I probably play about 3 hours at least a day. Between the PS5 (Pro) and Series X. Also in general a console is kept for longer than a phone....
People still complaining over the price. When an iPhone 16 Pro Max is Β£1600 and they'll gladly pay it and use it for a year until the next one is released. πππ
So many comments on articles now just going I don't see any difference on a static image and but, but, but it's a PS4 game. If u don't have any interest in getting a Pro why click on articles about the improvements it makes and then complain about it? It does improve games, you can deny it but the people that own a Pro know ur talking out of ur ...
Loving mine, it arrived yesterday. Glad the scalpers are taking a hit. They should really have learnt by now. We're not in a pandemic anymore and the Pro is not a console everyone is after.
Royal mail emailed me yesterday saying delivery today. Checking the tracking it's still sitting in England. So probably tomorrow or Saturday before I get mine. π
@mrmartinrohr OLED is the best! You're going to love it!
@TrickyDicky99 So u missed out on ragnarok and Horizon forbidden west? What a strange view on games you have. U loved GT sport but then don't buy the newer release.
@Waitinonpsvr2 New Sony PlayStation console is being released. How dare a PlayStation site cover it! ππ Maybe click on the articles that aren't covering the new console if you don't want to read about the new console. But I'm sure ur clicks will be missed.
Got mine from CEX using a voucher I already had. The extra Β£15 isn't too bad when u get a 2 year warranty. Though think they've now changed it to 5 years!
@DzarkGaz Would like to think there'll be some good improvements for Apex. Will be interesting to see how much it improves older games. Loads of PS4 games still to play through.
@Weebleman I'm just trying to max out the MS reward points every day now. Try to keep the sub going using them.
@DzarkGaz No worries π Yea, just switching over for COD. PS5 still my main console. Main reason for getting the pro is Ghost of Yotei. Put soo much time into Ghost of Tsushima. So hoping it'll be worth it.
@DzarkGaz You do know they add other games to GPU don't u? Plus I've never actually paid full price for GPU since it was launched. Two 3 years for Β£1, EA play conversion and also MS reward points... I've paid very little. I've GPU up to COD 2026. I sold my launch PS5 because the PS5 Pro is arriving this week. I didn't sell my PS5 because COD is free on Xbox. ππ
@mrbone Ah, I thought u meant everyone subbed to GPU would just be playing the campaign. π I'm hardly ever on IGN nevermind looking at comments. So if ppl are just wanting to play the campaign then 3 month sub is the way to go. for me I've never played COD just for the campaign and been done with it.

Ghost of Yotei is all I care about next year. No rush to get GTA 6, will probably be another game they'll milk for 3 generations.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Turmoil Continues as Shareholders Consider Buyout
@Foreverisdark94 Yea would be awful if Sony got ownership of assassins creed, splinter cell, far cry, the crew, and watchdogs etc.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Turmoil Continues as Shareholders Consider Buyout
Always said Sony should buy them. Good single player games and also have a number of live service games going.

Re: PS5 Pro Will Upgrade the Xbox-Owned Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Will hopefully have the pro by the end of the week but that'll not make me buy games for it that are free through GPU.
Re: PS5 Dominates UK Black Ops 6 Sales, As Game Pass Causes Xbox Share to Collapse
Not really surprising numbers. I switched from PS5 to Xbox to play COD this year because it's free on GPU.
@mrbone I'm not just playing the campaign.... Why would people only use GPU to play just the campaign? Strange take.
