Switch 1 thrived because it was such a low cost barrier to entry. They definitely losing the younger generations and people buying 3-5 switches. The youth will further pushed towards the free to play titles
And with that, i can say i zero interest in a From game. Also better see IGN and the rest damning the practice of exclusives becauses its so bad right? Is Bravely Default remaster exclusive because Square would be the ultimate hypocrites as well
@neillaw @RoomWithaMoose absolutely agree. Watch gameplay and make decision yourself or find an independent you trust more for their more honest thoughts.
@Kierant202 respectfully, critic scores mean nothing to some people in today’s world as they are paid off or get social brownie points for having certain elements in their games whether beneficial or destructivr
They out games no one wants anywhere outside of Sea of Thieves. Shame hifi rush sold so few but who the heck wanted Grounded, a pc style game in AOE, and no one absolutely no one was ever interested in pentiment
@Americansamurai1 would be nice. I doubt Bandai is ever gonna do anything with them. Those are games i really want them to target with big japan pubs. Like the Bouncer with square or something. Your not gonna put the money to bring it forward. Let us do it for u and take some cash
Have digimon already, wonder if that means more news on the newest one is coming soon. Robocop i always heard good things about but was never compelled to buy it
Eastern devs making games people want to play and have fun doing so. Like 90% of the games i play are from them and the upcoming slate of western games including all of Sony’s 1st party are so unappealing
So games that had previously came to Ps and sold very well are bringing new games that are selling very well. And big name titles being brought to a new audience are selling well? Odd aint it
@Skeletor85 i dont think the western devs are pushing max profit by doing that. Just look at bioware, rocksteady and concord’s devs to name how it turn out for them. Ubisoft soon gonna go under for their part
@Kienda glad to see someone hit the nail on the head. And yeah developers really should take note on all the aspects outside of just how the character looks
@LavenderShroud gonna be alot more closings, especially in the western market. Alot of chasing on live service still showing its affects, and generally significantly less appealing games to the market from them with bloated budgets. I imagine Ubisoft will have much more shakeups and downsizing to come
@Brundleflies21 probably still in that phase of curiousity. PS games had the same thing on steam at first but now sales have cratered there in comparison to how they forst sold. This being being one of the 3 xbox pillars gonna make people curious
So i get to play my PS games and third party games as well as the xbox ones on PS. Oh no what a tragedy. I wonder when the day will come when paid media shills to this degree will end. It will never end but hopefully one day will lessen
Definitely Astro bot was great, easily recouped money and will add more over time. It also be very important if games like these can help attract new/young gamers into gaming overall as well as pull them away from the forever live service games
@ChrisDeku yeah i feel the xbox startegy over time has simply frustrated players as well with how long and still waiting for most of these games.
Short marketing burst and associating games with the platforms seems the best. Doesnt hurt to help prop up 3rd party games. They still see 30% of the sales regardless and makes extracting games that much easier from their emerging markets sectors
@themightyant yeah its insane and right there with you in not keeping up lol. Nintendo live or die on their content but now pn ps5/xbox its again about scope of impact given theres less air for games to breathe these days. Its why even with all its acquisitions and supposed lineup, xbox consoles partially fant get traction. established Libraries, impactful timed/permanent console exclusives, and despite what media says the xbox 1st games havent really been more than mediocre to draw people times from the glut of 3rd party games elsewhere
@Oram77 yeah i dont really seen a content issue. It sucks we are lacking games from playstation themselves but just looking at stuff from last night, theres so much 3rd content coming and all the xbox ports just makes it even bigger. 1st party makes defining games but are less needed these days from a content filling point
