But if doesnt its been a great run till now,been utilising it fully since its launch. Same here, some of the best games I’ve played in these past years have been from gamepass/ps extra, for ex: judgement/lost judgement/like a dragon/y0/lis:true colours/medium and many more. I would’ve never purchased these on my own, but loved them to bits thanks to ps extra/gamepass ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I would say there is still a market for physical! It's not that they're dying organically in the US/EU etc! But they will if there is a monopoly from any player! Sony got away with an add-on disc drive for Pro only because there was no competition! If MS hadn't screwed up so badly, Sony would have had to give the disc drive included on Pro! On PC the only reason physical ended was because the deals from Steam were just too good! Such deals have not come on either PS or Xbox till now! One thing I have to appreciate about Sony though - they know to create games and nurture studios! ND, Santa Monica, Guerilla, SP, Asobi, Insomniac - all these major players today were absolute no name bit players when Sony started! Look at them now! In contrast MS only knew to throw money it seems! This gen they've brought so many legendary studios, but we've not seen their full potential nor were they able to make exclusives! Even in X360 gen they were mainly throwing around money to buy full or timed exclusives (like the GTA4 DLC exclusivity purchase) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS themselves have been unable to sell physical discs on SX so far!! So much so that retailers have just stopped selling Xbox discs!! It’s got nothing to do with one or another!!

Sony has the monopoly and can afford to do whatever the f**k it wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can….but BluRay being the last of it’s kind dying physical format isn’t really because of Gaming monopoly. There are a lot of reasons behind it.

The entire machine's main USP was Gamepass which digitally gave off all major MS games! Exclude that and this gen MS had pretty much nothing for the Xbox from what I remember! They had nothing at the start of the gen and even if you say buy discs for 3rd party games, people got into PS by then to get all the exclusives there!

Servers were pretty lag as well. I tried it on PS5. I dont think anyone on IVG playing it or cares about it. I downloaded it, it was asking for 600 or 1800 rs i think to buy a character to play. Uninstalled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 XBone generation ended with >2:1 sales ratio. This generation is trajecting towards >3.5:1 sales ratio. If Freebies which included Call Of Duty Day1 couldn’t help Xbox…..nothing ever will. Streaming in distance future is what they can hope for now….

Sach4life Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Streaming is not going to be the main way of playing AA/AAA games anytime soon. I have been saying this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to pay a single cent to ‘buy’ a character. There are free, only premium skins are paid and some can be unlocked via gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are clear tabs showing lore, emotes and skins. If you just want to play, just hit quick play then select your character, no where in this ui flow does it ask to buy anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 The immovable fact about high budget AAA gaming scene. Nintendo & similar smaller budget games aside. Playstation is the bread & butter for cutting edge graphical games!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar is an outlier. They've miked the sh*t out of both GTA and RDR online. They've been successful, can't say the same about the rest. Pain to see amazing studios that have churned out insane SP experiences go to sh*t cos of GAAS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Only GTA5 Online was successful. GTA4,RDR1 failed miserably bad. RDR2 online ain’t real sunshine either. That’s why I specifically mentioned. They could have made Story DLC’s instead of Those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Also I didn’t add Gurilla Games coz there is still no word yet. If that Fails…add another one to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
