You actually expected PS5 to be BC with PS2 and PS3?

 

Yes, I did actually :fear1: 

 

well, maybe not PS3 but definitely PS1 and PS2. I think I was so sure of it due to Xbox having all 4 gens in one.

How come hardly anyone is concerned about the  game prices? :fear1: It appears that they offset the hardware price with increased pricing on games. 
Prices are increasing both sides..

Development is getting costlier and we can totally see that in games we play..

But games getting costly shouldn't be that much of an issue if you just buy and sell most games.. Which most do here..

Thn there always are sales..

Will just get a PS4 slim or Pro and play the backlog on that.

 

Well that would be half the price. Good time to buy, or once PS5 releases. 

 

But I think going for the PS5, and playing the backlog from the PS Plus Collection is a better idea, even though it'll cost you more.

Both sides? Mostly in Developing countries. Developed countries prices have more or less remain unchanged for hardware.

 

Yes there are sales. Just the timing to get these games become affordable gets longer.

Games gonna cost 70 usd in us now..

Expect 5 to 7 hundred bump here..

And no it's not remained unchanged for hardware either.

Ps4 launched at 400, PS5 is launching at 500..

Theres a digital edition going at 400...

A comment from an article in Eurogamer.

So let's get this straight an industry that:

- Is making record profits
- Makes terrible sales predictions to the point that 3 million+ (!) copies sold isn't enough so then sells off studios
- Sacks swathes of staff even when after their hard work has lead to said record sales and profits
- Avoids paying tax by offshoring profits
- With the brassiest of necks applies for taxpayer funded rebates on the taxes they haven't paid
- Has some of the most overpaid CEOs in business in comparison to the average salaried employee in the industry (you know, the ones who actually make the games)
- Crushes unions and pits staff against each other (e.g. developers vs voice actors) in the hopes that they "crab in a bucket" one another
- Sells tonnes of DLC, some of which is Day 1, the most expensive series of which totals thousands of pounds
- Breaks their own games to shoe-horn in tedious grinding in the hopes that you'll pay to skip
- Lies about always online DRM/micro-transactions being a "necessity" to make a game work, only to be caught out when said components are quietly removed
- Releases so many editions of a game that you need a spreadsheet to work out which version to buy
- Releases so many editions of a game but not one with all the content and sometimes the special editions don't even include the bloody game at all!
- Releases games that marry the very worst aspects of MMO grind/mobile gatcha gambling mechanics that not only encourage problem gambling in those susceptible, but possibly nascent in children, necessitating governments to step in
- Releases game SKUs which withhold or remove content if the publisher has been bunged enough money by a platform holder (while of course not lowering the price for versions that are missing out)
- Charges for online; as if letting end users set up their own servers on PC isn't a thing (and would pretty much guarantee players could enjoy their favourite game online in perpetuity )
- Has gone so mad for the GaaS dollar that potential profit margins from adding an online mode economy has led to the very likely death of expansion packs as we knew them
- Frequently releases games in a broken state, necessitating a day one patch (at the very least), meaning that if down the road the servers go offline and you want to reinstall off disc you will be left with a broken mess potentially or an expensive paperweight

Is now raising the entry fee to all of this nonsense while disingenuously crying about how they've kept prices low all these years and are basically cap in hand?

Sounds legit.

Did they say they flat out wont give free upgrade to existing Spidey owners? Or is it one of those bot things where you jump the gun and then eat a shoe later?

 

Neither Sony or Insomniac have commented on this .. but hey, makes for good clickbait and jumping to conclusions.
