The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

Yeah this is starting to get ridiculous. I guess they're waiting for Microsoft to announce their price, but I don't see why that'll matter to Sony. The PS5 is going to outperform the Xbox regardless. Just give us a price :smh:

I low key think the systems may be delayed.

Not out of the realms with Covid but all signs are pointing towards this cat and mouse games between the 2.
MS do not want to suffer again like they did on that faithful night at E3 2013.

maybe it doesnt matter

but if it does, people have been "speculating" that that other company is going to drop the hammer on sony with the Series S. The whole premise behind series S is that its supposed to be some mediocre next gen machine with a great price, but what's great? does a machine almost 1/3 the power of ps5 have a great price if its only 50 dollars less than ps5 digital? what if its the same price????????
 
What’s everybody playing right now?
Still trying to finish shadow warrior 2 but it’s near impossible on the insanity difficulty. Doom eternal was def in some way inspired by this game. Some Similar mechanics. Throw on RE7 when I need a break from SW2.

I finished Act 1 in Ghosts a few weeks back and haven't really felt the urge to go back to it.

It's reminiscent of my AC 1 experience, fun with great lore to start but redundancy in what you do and mission structure bog it down.
 
Just started up Act 3 in Tsushima.

Hoping to get some time end this weekend.
 
I would think those prices have to be locked in by now.

This game of chicken their playing with release date and price is really underwhelming and making me care less and less about next gen. Talk about blowing the wind out of the sails.

At this point, they might as well just stealth drop both Consoles. It’s really ridiculous, especially on Sony, who is the market leader in gaming. Most people aren’t going to switch consoles this deep in the game with the backwards compatibility and Digital Libraries. They’re playing chess like “we have to undercut a console that only beat us for a limited time with a one year head start on us during the PS3 /360 era”

If I’m wrong in 6 years and Xbox wins the generation, somebody throw this in my face please. I’ll be waiting.

Nah you can't get complacent. Even if winning is a given, it's still about making as much cash as you can.

Sony and MS know that user engagement is very important. You get someone on board at launch for the PS5 and they will buy multiple games + DLC which Sony will take 30% cut or more and also have that person possibly paying for PS+ for 5 to 7 years.

MS has already said they won't be beat on price and power so they're trying a pincer movement. An Xbox Series S + Gamepass + paid installment is not attractive to me but for loads of people, if that's the cost of entry for next gen then they will take it. MS is trying to get people hooked on the Gamepass model.

Sony has to balance recouping R&D costs, How much loss to take per console, effects of covid and MS's plans.
If they were planning to ship 10 million PS5s during launch and launch window then even lowering your price by $50 is a $500 Million hit.
At the same time they won't to get undercut since they could lose out on user engagement.

What I'm annoyed is that they're not even giving us other news in the mean time like seeing the OS features or the teardown of the hardware.
Like give us something to pass the time if you can't reveal the price just yet.
 
Sometimes I think people forget that Microsoft is behind Xbox. If Xbox were to close down, MS will still be more than great. If PlayStation shuts down, Sony going with it :lol:
 
Anyone playing Avengers? Game is pretty fun and feels like you are a superhero. Though I am getting my *** kicked on hard, gotta get better at Analyzing the field so I don’t get downed. Gear is pretty sick still don’t have full understanding but the possibility endless. Can’t wait till I get a full squad going.
 
Yeah just finished installing Avengers. I played the beta so I kind of know what to expect. It is awesome playing as different heroes.
