Re: 'It's Selling Like Hot Cakes': Hokkaido Goes Crazy for Ghost of Yotei on PS5

@Hapless I'm on X and it's funny winding up the chuds who hate this game!

They hate the English voice actress, so I wind them up by calling them casuals, and justifying that by saying real gamers use Japanese voices in games set in Fedual Japan.

Only casual chuds would even hear the woman they are so angry about!

Edit

The post above appeared the same time as mine! Brilliant timing!

Re: Rumour: PS6 Will Have a Detachable Disc Drive, Much Simpler Design

@sanderson72

If you check the health and safety manuals for both the PS4 and PS5, the books have the laser class listed and what discs can be read.

The PS4 safety manual lists a CD reading laser class and actually lists CD's as discs that can be played. Also if you google "PS4 to play music CD's" there was a point Sony considered adding the feature via firmware update. So clearly the hardware was there.

But the PS5 doesn't list CD's in its safety manual and it's a different laser class listed.

Re: Microsoft Reiterates It's the Top Publisher on PS5 in Earnings Call

@Foxx_64740 Don't trust anyone, they all have their own agenda, only trust yourself.

So in that case, do the maths yourself.

How many studios does Microsoft run? If each AAA game costs aprox $100 million to create (that's a low ball figure!); then studios x game cost = Development costs

Then divide that figure by 6 because each game takes aprox 6 years to make and this gives us our yearly "T cost" figure.

Then Google:
"how much does microsoft pay 3rd partys for games on game pass"
and you'll see the answer to this question is a bliion dollars.

"T costs" + $1 billion = Total game pass costs

Then see if that figure is more or less than the $5 billion revenue figure.

I already ran the numbers so I know the answer just I don't expect you to take my word for it. But the answer is why I have the opinion I have.
