@BIG3 would not sell well on xbox at all....being a full priced game...

final fantasy should go back to it's roots turned based ... would not a hd-2d game for the next one.

this will sell a lot of copies on the nintendo switch..

considering nba 2k 25 is on multiple systems astrobot second place showing is fantastic since it is on only one system..

@Owyn maybe from all the backlash they had about no build in disk for the ps5 pro will change sony mind and include one in the ps6..

if backwards compatibility is a priority for sony then it will come with a disk drive for sure..

two highest console game scores this year are the two best games astrobot and final fantasy rebirth..

metacritic scores are usually spot on to how great a game really is..

was not the last showcase in 2021?

about time i am looking forward to this game..

@nessisonett cant say there is a correlation astrobot came out last friday sony ps5 trailer was tuesday it had nothing to do with the ps5 pro debacle..

@hi_drnick After a solid rebound in economic activity in the first half of 2023, Japan's economy has since struggled. Real gross domestic product fell 0.5% in the first quarter of 2024 from the previous quarter and was down 1.3% from its peak in the second quarter of 2023.

@Vaako007 it looks that way yet some said this si what sony needs to do go back to it's roots..

@somnambulance true the japan economy is bad but when the new zelda game arrive snot comparing the two the sales will be off the charts.. even for a 2d zelda game. but sony has had games that sold better then what astrobot even the meh visions of mana sold 30 thousand physical sales first week in japan recently

@HammerKirby3 very popular are physical sales in japan even for sony games..

@anoyonmus astrobot is a game i thought the japan audience would love a nintendo type game yet physical sales were 12 thousand which is terrible..

i expected between 50-100 thousand copies of astro bot to be sold in japan where a lot of nintendo fans love the game but only 12k physical sales that is as bad as it can get..

if raising prices in japan for the base ps5 is indicative ps5 pro will be a flop..sales wise..

maybe ps fans don't care about kid 3d platform games and only care for live service and story driven games like god of war or horizon looks that way to me..

terrible numbers for sony this week plus astro bot not selling in uk and japan..

ps5 pro will sell just like expensive apple products sell..

sony strategy seems to be working now people who were on the fence and did not buy a ps5 will buy the current ps5..

who can shell out 1500 for a ipad pro lots of people same thing will happen for ps5 pro

@Pixipantalon the pound is worth more then the us dollar.. also european economy is terrible right now compared to the us..

@jrt87 many people commenting are probably not even ps fans some nintendo many xbox..

@LogicStrikesAgain switch 2 will be between 400-500 bucks and that is to expensive considering the upgrades to ps4 pro abilities..

ps6 probably will cost 850-900 bucks and people will complain and say to expensive..nobody is forcing you to buy it..

is apple ipad pro to expensive yes but people buy the product because of quality and brand name..

buying a pc instead of the ps5 pro is apple vs oranges.. there is no comparison one is console gaming other pc.. only xbox fans would say such a thing..

sony reminds me of apple very expensive products but they know there customers are dedicated to them and will be willing to pay the price..

black friday or christmas ps5 pro will come down in price for sure

this console will be perfect to play gta6. compared to other consoles.. which will have technical issues...

if you don't want to buy the new console that is fine original ps5 are still being sold no bog deal..

after a nice presentation that price is a loss for sony this will not sell well..

@Jireland92 no console games then if you prefer pc then you are not a console fan..

2tb storage so that is a plus..

a external disk drive will cost 80 bucks..

no internal disk drive that is a no for me..

sony has so many ip they could bring back..

a large percentage of ps5 sold in japan did not remain in japan many were bought by chinese gamers who shipped them to china to avoid region lockout...

i never thought i see the day push square giving a ps game a 10 score ..

the footage we saw in the direct and especially in the japanese direct was switch footage seems this game is being built and optimized for the nintendo switch by falcom itself..
