@naruball Maybe a few,maybe a million, so what? Their product failed to surprass the previous one with less and less reasons for the consumer to stick with them.
Sony has lost all the goodwill from the players and gaming community and from now on they have an uphill battle to prove that they make good games and a good ecosystem to invest.It's very easy to hate on sony nowdays and they are to blame. They are becoming a gaming public enemy.
Huge backlog of games i haven't played and want to buy (astrobot,aw2,warhammer etc). Zero time to revisit remasters. I made the mistake with tlou2 and i never booted the game once.
Sony's own pc strategy made their fanbase considering other options. Comparing price points and performance gains. Do you want the best presentation of sony's first party games? PS5 pro isn't your choice..Nvidia has your back.
Sony doesn't worth easy money from now on. They just stopped delivering their promises after the ps4 era. Ps5 and ps vr2 are minimum effort products and they don't care as long as the cash flows.
I always choose performance mode cause when having a really good tv the drawbacks are minimal. So before investing in a ps5 pro do you have a great TV?
I bet half the show would be sugarcoating the ps5 pro with ps4 games that run better. At this rate sony could just do nvidia and produce a new gpu line every 2-3 years. Playstation name could remain optional and peripherals like the dualsense or the ps vr.
Relax, the game is trending very high in the playstation store with more than 12k ratings so far. Also it's selling really good in my small country at retail and offcourse amazon is an indicator for healthy sales. Spiderman or TLOU sale numbers won't happen though and everybody knows that.
It's insane that they cancelled factions 2 when the original game in it's archaic form still has an active player base. I might re-install it cause in all seriousness i need some good multiplayer fun.
@TrickyDicky99 Amen. Their PC strategy watered down the brand for short term profits. Instead of taking care of their loyal fanbase they micromanaged a toxic PC elitist group of people that you can't make happy no matter what.
I'm dreaming of a world that people will also do this with other products as well and vote with their money or protest in any possible way. Food and energy price inflation,monopolistic and mob controlled markets etc.
Instead of increasing prices i would recommend reaching more people and making gaming what it used to be with more polished games and less scam tactics to extract more money.
Funny thing there is also a physical copy. You will soon be able to get it for a tenner and maybe the game lives with the bare minimum gas in the engine.
It's mindblowing that Factions 2.0 was cancelled. Maybe it was too serious for today's standards. Grim and dark. Don't forget that all these liveservice games are milking mostly underaged players.

No PC announcements so it's all good.

@SlipperyFish That was their plan though and they failed.

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
@naruball well, the console sales numbers so far tell us that not only this didn't happen but they didn't even manage to convert ps4 players to ps5.

Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'
A London based studio could be really expensive. The same project located in Poland or Czech republic could cost the half amount of money.
Re: The Novelty of PlayStation's PC Ports Does Appear to Be Dampening
@Gunnerzaurus Yeah, especially when your console sales isn't groundbreaking to begin with. As for your VR platform...forget it.

This or dead island 2? I'm itching for a zombie game.

@kirkn They tried the "steam machine" some years ago and failed miserably.

Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
Unfortunately ,too many bad decisions mask your good ones in most cases. Concord and ps5 pro where massive Ls for sony.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
The pro seems to be everything that sony promised with the base ps5 and never delivered.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
Gaming is becoming an elite sport. Last stage of greedy capitalism. Fewer players but bigger spenders.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
Showcasing the same old games to sell new hardware again? No thanks, my fat ps5 with the launch price was a decent value.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Credits Indicate DLC Cameo Bots Could Be Inbound
I anxiously waiting for a sales report.
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
@WanderWhere Don't go there. Sometimes a game is just what people need in a specific timeframe and that's enough.
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
Digital foundry was stunned by the technical achievement of astrobot, so it beg's questions about the purpose of a ps5 pro.
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
It's time people to vote with our wallets. What playstation fans need.

Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
@UnlimitedSevens We really don't know about astrobot sales. The hype is there but people sometimes don't open their wallets to good things.

Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
Maybe unrelated to ps5 pro but after some serious software and hardware flops (psvr2) there is not a lot of goodwill left to sell the damn thing.
Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
@Cherip-the-Ripper No they have a collector's item with historic value.
Re: Concord Devs Maintain Radio Silence, Which Isn't Helping Matters
@djlard Gameplay is king and concord isn't bad in that department. Gunplay is more than solid.
Re: Concord Devs Maintain Radio Silence, Which Isn't Helping Matters
If the game was a f2p ps5 exclusive it would fare 1000x times better. Also free battle passes for ps+ subscibers and you are golden.
Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
Instead of increasing prices i would recommend reaching more people and making gaming what it used to be with more polished games and less scam tactics to extract more money.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
@nomither6 They didn't bother.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
@S1ayeR74 Me too or just upgrade my PC.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
New hardware just to gain some fps for completely unoptimised games. No thank you i respect my hard earned money. I might skip ps6 as well.
Re: Dealmania Hits PS Store with Around 1,300 PS5, PS4 Game Discounts
I bought Howgards for my girlfriend. RDR2 still at 30fps is a no go for me.
Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?
A new flop incoming really soon...PS5 pro..
Re: Forgotten PS Plus Shooter Foamstars Goes Free-to-Play in October
I miss the ps4 multiplayer days. Titanfall 2, bf1,bf4, better CODs. Now we are in a generation of pink costumes and male make-up.
Re: Things Are Getting Worse for Floundering PS5, PC FPS Concord
Funny thing there is also a physical copy. You will soon be able to get it for a tenner and maybe the game lives with the bare minimum gas in the engine.
Re: Preview: Dying Light: The Beast Pulls a Lost Legacy as DLC Turned Full PS5 Game Impresses
DL1 was a phenomenal game. I'll sometime buy 2 as well with all the expansions.
Re: Wreckfest 2 Plots a Crash Course with PS5
Fantastic game with fantastic soundtrack. There is a spotify playlist if anyone's interested.
Re: PS Portal Update 3.0.1 Allows Connection to 5GHz Public WiFi, Here Are the Patch Notes
I wonder if the ps4 does a decent job with remote play. I will need to use this feature in my new home and i have a spare ps4 but with no controllers.
Re: PS5 Pro Is Seemingly Starting to Appear in Source Code
My time is so limited and my backlog is so huge that i might wait for a ps7.
Re: Concord's Free Open Beta Is Performing Abysmally on PC

A new killzone would be the holy grail for online shooters but..
Re: Huge Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Update Adds Frame Rate Settings, 120FPS Is an Option
@REALAIS Nah 40fps is my bare minimum to play a game so i might try it now.
Re: Huge Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Update Adds Frame Rate Settings, 120FPS Is an Option
Very nice, ps5 was more than capable of doing something more with this game. It's maybe a hint that ps5 pro won't see the light.
