What incentive do you have to purchase an Xbox Series X?
PS5 gamers seem to be buying fewer games but spending more on DLC and microtransactions.
Tell my wallet that, I've bought so many games in the last 2 months. Microtransactions, and dlc not so much
careful, they are comparing It to ps4, showing 12% decline in games for ps5 console at this point in its life.
problem, ps5 is couple million down in sales, (citing this as evidence: https://www.vgchartz.com/ar... due to people not upgrading from ps4 yet, shortages, expenses, whatever, so maybe they are buying the exact same amount of games per console, but just there 2 million less consoles in general. sony themselves said they are 4 million down on expected consoles sold.
indeed, if ps5 was 5 million down, that would be 10 per cent less consoles, easy maths, but okay lets make a calculated guys, this 12% decline, is in reality a 6% decline because there are just less consoles at this point in its life vs ps4
ALSO: game content add-ons, 175% increase, who the hell is buying outfits fore the charters and stuff, waste of money, kids these days , pfft
If they put out more games, I'm sure the figures would be a bit different, the PS4 had more exclusives games at this point in both console's life cycles. So I guess that just leaves people to spend more on the games they do have to play.
Valve is cracking down on Helldivers 2 players trying to get around the PSN restriction and banning accounts.
I'm this is abit different to the headline. If says that it's just people in Russia and Ukraine experiencing this. Given restrictions mean their can't legally operate in Russia and bns belarus
This is about Russia and Belarus and the war on Ukraine, however I don't know why the ban is happening now? The people in these countries have been using VPN for ages now
XDefiant players are hoping Ubisoft introduces Rabbids to the game in the same vein as CoD has with zombies.
I upgrade to next gen consoles to get next gen games. I want developers to use the full extent of the capacity of the next gen consoles, and not be held back by the lowest common denominator,a dn any way why split resources? CAPCOM had the right idea cancelling the current gen version of RE8. Imagine if devs had to still develop games for PS3 and x360 would that just be considered a waste of time and resources?
For me, is a mistake to staying cross-generational as Microsoft is doing but we must look at Microsoft situation... They are not confident their actual user base will move to the next gen so they must come to a solution for their problem.
On the other hand Sony knows their user base is going to move as long as they deliver their games.
For me I have a nice PC why would I buy an Xbox when they are going to put their games on PC? For me it's a much better investment to put any money I would spend on an SX into PC upgrades or just buy games.
My next gen plan is PS5 + PC (RDNA 2 Navi)
Plus I agree with others who want next gen to take full advantage of the hardware not enhanced last gen games.
