@SegaDude7 Microsoft have been very clear about NOT releasing a "Pro/upgrade" Xbox version, Phil Spencer rather opt for a whole new console by 2025/2026
But with the impending PS6 release so close, who would really fall for a PS5 pro, especially Microsoft releasing the next Xbox successor at the end of next year, Sony will be hard pressed on releasing a PS6 even sooner rendering the PS5 pro a waste of money, time and resources.
@hoffa007 : Perhaps in Europe, but not in the US where I live... besides the price cut should be permanent which is perhaps the reason why Sony hasn't been able to meet sales numbers with the PS5.
Sony needs more consistency on this matter, people who decides to buy these games on PC they are not going to be persuaded in buying a PlayStation regardless.
Sony needs to realize that for PC gamers the PC versions are and always will be the superior versions...for obvious reasons.
It's funny how people that can't accept the painful truth on here doubt Shawn's words without realizing that he was the most successful PlayStation CEO Sony ever had.
If anyone knows how PlayStation runs in and out it's Shawn Layden.
@MikeOrator Square Enix doesn't need to be hurting in money to do the most outrageous decisions, they do decisions out of spite.
Chances are Square Enix offered the Tomb Raider timed exclusivity to Microsoft to teach Sony a lesson, as the same could be said about Final Fantasy XIV taking so long to be on Xbox even after Phil Spencer said multiple times that they were waiting on Square Enix to make a decision about it... Even more outrageous was the sale of Tomb Raider and other IPs to Embracer for just 300 million when they most probably offered them to Sony and Microsoft first but for far more money and they declined the sum.
Or do you really think Sony or Microsoft would have passed that deal for just 300 million???
@MikeOrator Make no mistake, Sony is getting all the good stuff while Microsoft gets the scraps, but the question is for how long can Sony keep feeding the beast with their money before Square Enix looks the other way and sides with Microsoft for a ground shattering deal the way they did with Tomb Raider.
Money talks and Square Enix has no allegiance to anybody than to themselves.
@gymratAmarillo Why would I want to play it on GamePass? because unlike PSPlus, Xbox is giving me the option to enjoy it for a fraction of the price while you might have to pay full price for it.
Capcom is getting payed handsomely by Microsoft for GamePass users, so I'm guessing those buying on other platforms should really be concerned on helping the developer at full price.
The world is full of options...some better than others as you can see.
Mean while Sony is allowing FireSprite to remain open although there are a ton of reports of employee mistreatment by verbal and mental abuse within the studio.

Re: Sony Allegedly Pausing PSVR2 Production Due to Surplus of Unsold Stock
Not a shocking failure given the fact that Sony put a massive price tag on a headset with almost zero support from PlayStation themselves.
Re: Hi-Fi Rush (PS5) - Xbox Gem Makes Its Rhythmic Debut on PS5
It shows how great Xbox games are as well
Re: Sony Allegedly Pausing PSVR2 Production Due to Surplus of Unsold Stock
An expected failure given the fact that Sony put a massive price tag on a headset that cost almost as much as the console itself.

@K1LLEGAL :
"If the Series S holds back the X - not sure how the Base PS5 won’t hold this back"
It wouldn't be the first time Sony puts their foot in their own mouth and do exactly what they criticized the competition for.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Is Up to Three Times Faster Than PS5 as Specs Surface
@Fuzzymonkeyfunk :
While that's true too, that makes them unpredictably dangerous for Sony caught unprepared with people investing on just a PS5 pro.

Re: Random: That Sure Looks Like Ellie from The Last of Us in Mobile Game Doomsday: Last Survivors
@Specky So you guess any young girl in a Zombie setting would qualify for an automatic Ellie.
Re: Random: That Sure Looks Like Ellie from The Last of Us in Mobile Game Doomsday: Last Survivors
What??? Just because she is a young girl wearing a cap it doesn't mean an automatic resemblance to another character.
Re: Temporary PS5 Price Cuts Target Europe As Sony Makes Final Push for Goal
Too little too late.... Why couldn't Sony discount the Disc Slim model as they always had with prior PlayStation systems?
Greed Awaits!
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Sales Slip 91% at Retail
Further proof the game is not well received by the masses.
Re: Oft-Forgotten Jak & Daxter Spin-Off The Lost Frontier Soaring to PS5, PS4 via PS Plus Premium
Undoubtedly the worst game in the series....

THANK YOU BABY JESUS!
Re: Preview: Rise of the Ronin Shows Promise, But It's No Showstopper Yet
In other words, wait for a Black Friday deep discount.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
It's good but not as good as the first entry.
Many of those that have played the game have already agree on that fact.
That sentiment also reflects on the disappointing game sales in comparison.

Re: Exclusivity Is the Achilles' Heel of Huge Blockbusters, Says Former PlayStation Exec
@Captain_on_Deck
So are you saying the actual guy that ran the entire PlayStation division for years is wrong???
Give that question a thought...
Re: Exclusivity Is the Achilles' Heel of Huge Blockbusters, Says Former PlayStation Exec
@Captain_on_Deck
He ran PlayStation, he ran the platform holder so he knows better than anyone here what he is talking about.
Re: Exclusivity Is the Achilles' Heel of Huge Blockbusters, Says Former PlayStation Exec
He is absolutely right...Phil Spencer has said the same thing for the past decade and nobody wanted to listen.

Re: Talk of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Being Completely Console Exclusive to PlayStation Is Inaccurate
@MikeOrator : Money hungry Square Enix will not waste a second on eating those "stale crackers"
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tops, But Doesn't Even Come Close to Remake
The disappointing sales numbers on this sequel could potentially make Square Enix hesitant on investing the same amount of resources on the next game.
Square Enix is not precisely the company that likes to take risks at all.
Re: Talk of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Being Completely Console Exclusive to PlayStation Is Inaccurate
@Grumblevolcano Anything is possible, but very unlikely as Square Enix would want those delicious Microsoft dollars.
Re: Talk of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Being Completely Console Exclusive to PlayStation Is Inaccurate
@UltimateOtaku91 @MrMagic That could mean an actual full trilogy as a package won't be exclusive to PlayStation.
Meaning all 3 games could come out on Xbox all at once.
Re: Talk of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Being Completely Console Exclusive to PlayStation Is Inaccurate
Chances are the games are timed exclusive to PlayStation but as a full package trilogy might come out on Xbox all at once.

Re: Capcom's PS5 Action Game Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Continues to Show Promise
I wish this was releasing on PSPlus on Day 1 as it's already announced for GamePass.
So GamePass it is.
Re: Helldivers 2 Dev Pours Cold Water on PlayStation Acquisition Rumours
Good, after what we seen Sony needs to get their stuff straightened out before even thinking on acquiring anything.
No need for more premature studio shutdowns or layoffs.
