@ShogunRok "which is more than the entirety of Nintendo during the same period. To put this in perspective: the PlayStation maker made more money through the PSN alone than the House of Mario could manage with hardware, software, and accessories included."
um, why would you compare PSN revenue (a store that sells products from 100s of companies) with a single company (Nintendo)? If you want to make a fair comparison you have to compare PSN to eShop revenue, not Nintendo.
the list is absolute BS. Sony had a much better year than Nintendo. If they wouldn't count ports, Nintendo would probably be in the mid-size publisher list this year.
"option of swapping the X and circle buttons. For those unaware, circle is generally used as the 'accept' button in Japan, whereas X is the 'cancel' button." YES
you actually couldn't play the game for a number of days when it came out in europe cause the app wasn't available yet (at least on iOS, don't know about android)
@RedMageLanakyn it's not surprising at all...xbox preloads are available whenever the publisher gives the go ahead. ps4 preloads are always available 2 days in advance.
of course it's only the japanese version as that one is releasing on the 25th already. by the way does that version support other languages? the price of it is ridiculous though ($90 for the STANDARD edition)
nice, I like those demo discs even though i have most of the games. mainly for the nice dioramas they give you in the menu (similar to what's on the 3DS home screen)
It's really annoying to me that high quality TVs really only start at 55" or 65" which is way too big for my living room. 1080p has always looked hideous on a 65" screen, 4K is acceptable on it, but I would just prefer a high quality, 40" 4K TV. Since that doesn't exist I had to go for a 32" 4K monitor, but there are no monitors with Dolby Vision yet and xbox one is now supporting it so that's a shame.
@Lando_ I always found vita incredibly uncomfortable to hold. And some games on there have ridiculous load times, especially PS4 ports. Also some ports seem to have a reduced color depth (for example DQ Builders on vita looks like if you set Windows to 256 colors). So talk about bad ports haha.
@Marios-love-child smash bros is appealing because it's a typical "easy to learn, hard to master" game (like for example chess and tetris) whereas most traditional fighters are hard to learn and hard to master.
by the way wii u's browser is soo much better than ps4's browser. actually it's by far the best browser on a console ever. ps4's browser is barely usable (same with xbox one's)

Re: EA Access May Finally Be Making Its Way to the PS4
@tomassi i'm not a fan of EA games, but there are a ton of what you simply dismiss as "other games", including xbox 360 and original xbox games.

@get2sammyb wow that is indeed impressive..would be nice to compare it to xbox and steam as well
Re: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Suggested by Sony Patent
that would be amazing. and if they include the VR box in it too it would really help to declutter my setup.
Re: PS4 Was the World's Best-Selling Console in 2018
so I guess Europe was the deciding factor? If I remember correctly Switch won the US last year, and in Japan it wasn't even close.

@ShogunRok "which is more than the entirety of Nintendo during the same period. To put this in perspective: the PlayStation maker made more money through the PSN alone than the House of Mario could manage with hardware, software, and accessories included."
none of that statement makes any sense.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Players Picked Leon Kennedy's Campaign First

Re: Where Can You Buy PlayStation Move Controllers for PSVR?
I got mine by walking into a store where I found two super dusty ones laying around. I got them for 15 EUR each.
edit: actually those were the packs that came with the crappy wii sports clone and the PS3 camera.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Kingdom Hearts III Review?
by the way the VR experience has finally been released (on the JP PSN at least, yesterday)

@Quintumply not necessarily. On Xbox you can have trial versions that you can play for a set amount of time after which you can’t launch it anymore.
