I think these numbers are skewed, heavily, towards the final push for developers and publishers to finally not even have to make physical copies anymore. After all, it's what gives them a boner.
My guess is the numbers quoted are for total revenue physical Vs digital and little Tommy's pocket money to buy a Fortnite skin soon adds up to '87% of all games sold are digital'.
Great news. PS5 is a poor effort at 'revolution not evolution' and I'll happily wait out any exclusivity periods and play the patched up, cheaper and arguably superior versions when they land on PC.
When you squeeze every last penny out of your staff and contractors, they will retaliate against you, even if that means turning to crime. I feel sorry for those who have had their new toy delayed a while but wish more of the same to be piled on Amazon.
This is hilarious. If it was changed to a black trans person, I could just about get on board with uproar about radical changes but this? This is hilarious.
The price of next gen games is the only 'revolution not evolution' I've seen so far.
The sheer willingness of the majority to just go along with paying these exorbitant prices and still placing pre orders, is what encourages the vampiric publishers to persist with the practice.
@thefirst I was in from the Beta and the childish tone was something that grated on me even then. It was said that the narration was just a placeholder and would likely change but they ran with it.
Today's gamer throws a poo fit when a previous exclusive ports over to PC. It's no surprise then that when they are faced with in depth information, delivered by a consummate professional, the toys get further thrown from the pram.
The sense of entitlement in those complaining about this, is as sickening as it is hilarious.
The revenue alone that this pc port will generate will make HZD 2 all the better and you can bet your ass that PS5 will be the only place to play it for a number of years too. Add in the fans of the series it will add to PlayStation™ and you have a win-win, well apart from you moaning losers that is.

Re: $130 Version of Star Wars Outlaws Under Fire as Ubisoft Prices Increase
What does it include for that price you ask? Who cares?
They have crossed that line (again) and I hope we can collectively make them pay the price for their stinking greed.

Stinks.

@feral1975 good job Amazon literally has a good returns policy.
Re: PS5 Brute Force Fixes Cyberpunk 2077's PS4 Technical Problems
Lol @ the 4k we all come to expect these days. Run one of your boner polls and see just how many of us expect 4k.
Re: Poll: Is Cyberpunk 2077's Poor PS4 Performance Acceptable?
@LordSteev if not an actual adult, you have the mindset of one. Bravo.
Re: Observer: System Redux (PS5) – A New Coat of Paint Can Do Wonders
I thoroughly enjoyed my play through, even with Rutger's lifeless, uninterested mumbling trying to ruin it for me.

Re: PS5 Is Breaking Pre-Order Records at Some Retailers
I remember fondly my excitement for versions 2, 3 and 4, but somehow 5 is just not doing it for me.
Dare I say it, but the 500 notes will be better spent on PC upgrades.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Platinum Trophy Has Already Been Unlocked on PS4
@Matroska I think this is a good time for me to float about my NCIS world first platinum. By accident too.
Re: Sony Has a Mystery Event Planned for PAX Online Next Week
Build hype. Add a little more hype. Sprinkle with a dose of hype; then BAM £$€799 digital, BAM BAM £€$949 disc.
Wailing intensifies.
Re: Watch Dogs Legion Adds the Iconic Aiden Pearce, Stormzy
Stormzy? Hard pass from me.
Re: PS5 Controller's Triggers Will Lock When Your Gun Jams in Deathloop
All very interesting but I can't help thinking this is all possible with current gen machines. Still awaiting the claimed revolution not evolution.

Re: Observer: System Redux PS5 Trailer Gives Us a Glimpse at Next-Gen Graphics
It's a really good game. The weakest part being Rutger's lackluster performance.
This version looks like it will achieve the PC version level of graphics.
Not excited for this at all.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Director on Delay: We Have a Great Game, But We Have to Be Fair to Fans
I'm happy to wait for a perfectly polished product and it's inevitable 4gb+ day one patch.

Re: Sony Looks to Be Locking Timed Exclusives for PS5
WSJ isn't the greatest of sources for gaming news, or any news come to think of it.
My guess is that the business strategy of the PS5 will not stray far from what we have now. If it ain't broke.....
