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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 ? Edited October 11, 2021 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.techspot.com/news/91588-sony-removing-payment-options-ps3-vita-stores-month.html Edited October 11, 2021 by Vaibhavp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
