Blu-ray Burner Demand Rises for Q4

Taiwan Blu-ray burner manufacturers are reporting that they have received some rather large inquiries and orders for Blu-ray burning PC drives. Because prices for BD burners remains high, orders are usually for anywhere between 2,000 to 3,000 units. However, recent inquires and orders by US and European companies are now ten times that, between 20,000 to 30,000 units, signifying that retailers and computer manufacturers may be preparing for a Blu-ray push this fall...

Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?

This has GP rental written all over it.

Tacoboto2h ago

They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.

Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.

It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.

How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.

Wow Tankbusta40 how out of touch with reality can you be, mate. Do you think companies are insane to spend millions on having giant billboards for big releases and TV adverts and superbowl slots and round the clock PR and interviews? Most of the people who buy games aren't on gaming forums like these knowing the exact release dates!

This isn't being marketed because Microsoft isn't selling the product, it's a Game Pass day one and they don't throw their weight behind games like this.

Wait, this game's actually still being made?

Ninja Theory is gonna be MS next cut!

Crows9021m ago

Most likely. Otherwise more people would know about the game....most people don't...it'll drive some in Gamepass but that's probably going to be it.

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

-Foxtrot6h ago

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Tacoboto2h ago

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

Kornholic1h ago

Sony should follow the Microsoft route and kill Playstation the same way MS has killed Xbox? Are you serious?

XiNatsuDragnel5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21835h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

thesoftware7303h ago

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

shaenoide3h ago

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).

Jingsing1h ago

I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.
