Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028

@Oram77 Nope, I don't think I will. You're the kind of person who likes holding the moral ground, yet you're the one who incited me by starting with a Xbox rumour that has not been confirmed. You tried to reason through speculation and completely ignored my Switch 2 point.

If you don't like my reply, don't come after me, clearly you have thin skin.

Re: UK GTA 6 Buyers Pleasantly Surprised by No PS5 Pre-Order Price Hike

@StrickenBiged Where does your 25% poorer statistics come from? The institute of making it up as I go along?

The average Brit isn't 25-30% poorer than the average American once you account for healthcare, education costs, pensions, annual leave and other social transfers. Using raw GDP-per-capita figures as a representative for disposable income is not how it works.

Re: Destiny 3 Isn't in Development, But It May Have Been the Most Talked About Game of the Last Week

@Swandivetotheasphalt That is an extremely cynical and incorrect take.

Destiny fans got tired of bad DLCs, predatory micro transactions and content vaulting.

This update brought so much to get in the game that it's actually fun again. If Bungie knew how to balance free and paid content, fans wouldn't have left in the first place.

Destiny is a franchise with huge potential, it just needs better and less greedy direction.

Re: PS5 Price Hike Has Flushed UK Hardware Sales Down the Toilet

@Oram77 Sure, it's definitely not the worst generation, for me it was the PS3 for Sony, but I don't think Sony ever had a bad gen.

But carrying it over has a lot more impact when you can play games from the previous generation on the new console. I could just transfer my library of hundreds of games from my PS4 straight to my PS5, that's incredibly convenient. PS3 to PS4 did not have the same convenience.

@Vertere Ah, I see. I think my point wasn't clear then. I don't think the live service failures affected the sales at all. What I think is that Sony failed a lot this generation, live services being an example. For me the got carried by third party and the legacy of the PS4. I think this generation's Sony made bad decisions overall and we'll see the consequences of it on the next gen.
