Men's Journal - Sony's PlayStation 4 is the first Sony game console to launch without backwards-compatibility out of the gate. That means your huge collection of PS3 games is useless and you'll have to fork over $400 for the new hardware and another $60 per game. Sony's offsetting things slightly by offering a pair of free quality indie games with the space shooter 'Resogun' and the film noir puzzle adventure 'Contrast.' And next year, Sony's cloud gaming service promises to bring back a library of past PlayStation console titles for instant streaming. But for now, there are some quality experiences that showcase what next gen gaming can deliver on Sony's new console.
During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”
It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.
Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.
I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.
Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?
This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.
Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
During Devstream 179 for Warframe, Digital Extremes unveiled a lot of exciting information for stuff coming to the game, and we were able to ask about some of it!
PS4 has some decent games.
Knack is a pretty decent game. Its not as bad as some people make it out to be. I appreciate it for some ofthe amazing graphics, because it can truly nearly pass as something from Pixar, but thats just my opinion. I do wish that I can play FPS, but unfortunately I get motion sickness. I tried playing for 5 minutes and I was done with it. Im sure though that we will see some quality titles and I cant wait.
I buy a console for five reasons...
1) Games
2) Games
3) Games
4) Games
5) Games
All good games, now start bringing on the RPGS, JRPGS, SRPGS, really just whatever keep them coming.
