Switch or Series S would be my suggestion. No need to go last gen for ps or xbox. It's painful.

Got it. Thanks!

 

Also one last thing- xbox one or xbox one S? 

 

Yes, Series S also would be great and future proof but will cost u 10-12K more.. a pre-owned version is on gameloot for 30K

This. @kaka_messi just get an XSS, scammed GP and lock your kid in the room for 36 months. You're all set. :P

 

Kidding aside, don't bother with old gen.

Guys for a 10 years old kid, who has only played games on phone, what would be better; Switch, xbox last gen or PS4? Need the best at the cheapest price. 

 

His only condition is it that should connect to TV which i believe is possible in all.

 

Don't give him Switch or Switch Lite unless you want him addicted to gaming 24/7.

Jim Ryan coming for Don Mattricks crown for most ridiculed executive.

Yeaaah, No.

 

Jim might run his mouth, but he won't get to Don's crown until his decisions cause halving of console sales and setting PS back by a generation.

For now, PS5 is Sony's fastest selling console (faster than 3 highest selling consoles ever - PS2/PS4/PS1) and despite the chip shortages. All while MS is lagging with a lil over half the number.

That setback was good for MS. 

 

They bounced back really well this gen.

 

But good sales despite questionable decisions means the trend will continue.

NXG has recorded average resolution as 1782p for SX & 1728p for PS5 

 

The Spanish channel coincides while also highlighting how reflections are much better on PS5 

Something Digital Foundry spoke nothing of. 


Pretty much the opposite is being noticed here with BF2042,

Slight higher average resolution on PS5 & better reflection on SX  

 

 

At this point it’s pretty much proven to be give & take nitpicks between the two consoles. 
 

It’s sad really for few of those who were harping all around the internet with the power advantage of SX over PS5 leading up to the launch. 
 

But it has been what it is since both came out & created the usual loyalist

heartbreak ?

No doubt the setback was good, less 'TV' and more 'games'.

 

But some miniscule questionable decisions are incomparable to the blunders of Don.

What exactly questionable decisions are we talking about?!?

 

The $10 charge to upgrade select few games?!?

Or his decision to turn GT7 into cross-gen after announcing next gen exclusivity?!?

 

 

These are not really questionable decisions from a business point of view. 
 

Specially when there is no one in the market who is ready with the risk of true next gen exclusives & some are charging full MRP for next gen ports with no upgrade path. 
 

& Playstation as a platform has like top 7 rated out of 10 titles with next gen versions exclusively.


If not opening his locker of freebies like the competition (only to be labelled as a “bounce back”) is being considered a questionable decision then I really pity on the sense & sensibility of some of the fanboys who think that businesses are a joke where one should follow a path just cos the other see’s potential in some futuristic event yet to take place.

Most of the upgrades re-releases are selling well. So, it doesn't matter what select few on the internet spout. System is selling well, games are selling well, and they are being praised. That is the whole crux of the situation

These are his views on backwards compatibility.

 

"That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

His views doesn't matter. PS4 didn't have BC and no surprise he said that to downplay the requirement for it. PS5 has full-fledged BC. Executives are known to downplay stuff their product don't have, nothing new.

If your system doesn't have it, just insult the feature. 

 

Sounds genius. 

 

By the way, PS3 and Vita card payments to be discontinued as well.

It doesn't matter what dumb thing he says. It would have mattered if PS5 wasn't BC. As long as his 'dumb statements' don't reflect in the product quality and success, its nothing more than fodder for fanboys for this thread/topic.

 

Makes sense, considering they are in the process of closing both the stores.

Also, saying BC isn't used much or people don't use it as much as it would seem is not an insult. Its a fact, after first two years of a console gen has passed. When he said that, we were already 4-5 years past PS4's launch.

 

That also means you loose access to classics like Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, Chrono Trigger etc.

 

I am really itching for a Contra like game these days. Planning to install  Hard Corps: Uprising.

 

One doesn't play retro games all the time. But option should be there. I haven't played Castlevania SOTN yet. I can do that with BC when mood strikes.

I never said that BC and specifically preservation of old games isn't important and necessary. I was merely pointing how, in the grand scheme of things, once 2-3 years have passed, BC isn't as important as people would like to believe. It wasn't for PS3 (when it had BC and was removed in revisions) and Wii U and had no bearing on the success of PS4 and Switch.
