Jerry's excitement for the NES Classic Edition can be felt in waves, these are 5 reasons why he's grabbing one in November.
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.
When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
The problem for PlayStation right now – through a heady combination of its own adjusted marketing plans, the aftermath of the pandemic, and never-ending development cycles – is that it feels like it’s abandoned the kinds of software that fans have always valued most.
My issue with the announcements over the past 2 years or so is that now these "big" announcements they hint at or whatever end up being just PC ports.
For most of their core audience, the people watching, we've played them, a PC announcement being made into a big thing and counting as one of their major announcements means f*** all to most of us. Also you have to think if they didn't have them then first party wise they don't have much else.
So now it's split between PC ports (God of War Ragnarök), live service shit (Concord) and the first party games we actually do want (Astrobot).
This gen just sucks, period. More PS4 games have come out than PS5 exclusives, and we're almost 4yrs in. Then this unwanted GAAS push which is completely tone deaf, and not what their fanbase wanted. Feel like im just watching a childhood friend kill themselves with an addiction.
Yeah this 9th generation has been the biggest let down out of every console generation I've experienced since the 8 bit era.
For the first time in near 30 years I feel like Sony has completely abandoned the fanbase that got them to where they are. We see GAAS being shoved down our throats and fun replaced by lootboxes and milking us. This isn't the Sony experience I ever wanted
if I wanted to be exploited I'd play a mobile game
I find the modern line up though just lacks innovation which earlier generation games had in spades we only get what is going to sell big numbers even if the games a single player games it's likely so by the book I feel like I've played it before.
I think the PS2 was likely the golden era for experimental game design everything since that has been game design by bored room

How is this years list not mostly games that a playstation fan would like?

Some decent reasons, but I really wish the Big N would have announced a anniversary edition of the NES. Keep everything about the mini, but it would be able to play the old cartridges. Nevertheless, I'm still grabbing one! Seems too cool to pass up.
Forgot nostalgia. primary reason for me.
Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3
The LoZ
Link's Awakening
Final Fantasy
Castlevania 1

I could go on.
This is great for my living room. I hated the NES virtual console games and they way they looked/played on the Wii U. I'll have my classic controller, direct HDMI... good times.
I always wanted to own a NES. But I don't want to deal with hunting for old cartridges. So this device is perfect for me. Would have liked more games but oh well at least the best ones are in it.
