Well, today has been a very interesting day. The 1st of March has been met with what seems to be a one day fix for a bug that cropped up in the older versions of Sony's PlayStation 3s, but the response has been eye opening to say the least.
N4G has been hammered with news articles, some with official responses from Sony, but some with over the top exaggerations. I beg the question, is there any intelligence out of there? Or have some of us just been reduced to making ridiculous articles with asinine titles to incite fanboyish replies and to get hits on a website? It's an interesting question and I feel that the more mature and logical people amongst us will be asking the same questions.
Indeed, this issue is quite serious as it is rendering many PlayStations unplayable, but are we that dependent on our consoles? A 24 hour fix and some of us are acting that the rumours about 2012 actually hold some truth.
Are some of us really that impatient and childish? To chuck our toys out of the pram when an error crops up and scream and shout and post inane comments? Tell me how you feel about this matter. No doubt some of you are angry at Sony and I believe you should be, but some responses have been laughable.
Take care and I hope those who are affected get back to gaming the PS3 way.
The plans could be announced during the Xbox game showcase in June.
Until cod gets onto gamepass day 1 it's really just theory that it will hurt the overall sales I guess we will find out.
I think it will hurt physical sales a bit. But CoD makes the most money from microtransactions. I'm sure the amount of people that are gonna play it on gamepass will be offset by the amount of new people buying MTs
It depends. Even on Xbox CoD still sold millions of copies, this will canabalise a large portion of those sales, potentially hundreds of millions in initial revenue. With the assumption being it'll get more players from GP buying MTs.
But with poor console sales, GP is hitting it's saturation point on console and stagnating, and with PC being very entrenched in steam with gamepass not being that popular there, without a bigger install base it's not really going to increase subs by very much even with CoD. Are people really going to jump ship to monthly to buy xbox's and sub to GP to play CoD especially when it'll probably sell 15+ million on PS5 anyway? I doubt it, but who knows I might be wrong, it'd certainly be a bit concerning if the sub count didn't move even slightly from the biggest FPS on the market being on there, it's a gamble though.
Releasing CoD on GP definitely make the service more attractive, but I question the impact based on what I mentioned above.
They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they don't put COD Day 1, it would mean they were dishonest about Day 1 1st party games on GP. If they DO put COD Day 1 on GP, they'll lose a ton of sales.
I wouldn't want to be in Sarah Bond's shoes right now.

Seeing an AI disclaimer in a video game naturally incites distaste, but it looks like Stellaris has used AI as ethically as possible
