Funny how you forgot to mention Foamstars, Rise of the Ronin, and Silent Hill 2 as part of PS5´s gaming line up for this year. I wonder why.
In Nintendo´s case, you had no option but to resort to a Switch game from last year since you don´t even know what Nintendo have in store for 2024, which is nothing big or groundbreaking like a new mainline Mario, Zelda, Pokémon or Metroid.
As far quality goes, I willin...
"I feel a little bad for Ninja Theory honestly, there’s all these expectations for this 8 hour story game to pull attention because the lineup is so lean."
Lean?
Xbox has best line up of games for 2024 by far!
Hellblade II
Flight Simulator 2024
Starfield: Shattered Space
Avowed
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Indiana Jones
Towerborne
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

"I can’t wait to play. I’m also very eager to watch Digital Foundry’s technical analysis of Hellblade 2."
Don´t pay some serious attention to that jealous PC fanboy Alex Battaglia, though.
He was caught lying about the original Hellblade in the last video. Lol!
He said he couldn´t understand the combat mechanics and or how it works, if players can dodge, if players can block, he couldn´t tell by the footage that...
I think the handheld will support Xbox games via cloud.
it will be such an unique experience blended with unparalleled realism, visuals and art.
May 21st can´t come soon enough.
Looks fantastic!
Day one!

"Obscure, c'mon now. You can't just say something without the reason behind it. Why is Microsoft looking beyond consoles? Because they're losing in that arena."
That´s a very simplistic view/opinion on a far more complicated subject.
Microsoft *always* tried to push for technology and innovation across multiple segments throughout their history.
Microsoft has been developing gam...
What I think that´s hilarious and shameful at the same time, is how Sea of Thieves and Grounded, two Xbox first party games which used to be mocked and trashed by diehard PS fanboys are setting to become big hits on PS5 in a year when there are more first party games from Xbox on Playstation than Sony´s own first party games.

Well, we heard from Jim Ryan in the ABK´s case that Microsoft would intentionally deliver worse and low quality ports for the PS5.
But hey, let´s blame Phil for this too. I mean, why not?
@Christopher
"You then sell the idea that this is reason why it should go same date on PC and PS5. If games like Spider-Man 2 went same day release on PS5 and PC, Sony would start selling hardware at the rate that Microsoft does."
That´s a fallacy right here. Spider-Man is a *licensed game*. I´m not saying Sony should put *all* of their games day and date on PC especially their top tier first party games.
In Spider-...

Fair enough. The article is clear and you got it right.
@Nyxus
I just think games sales on Playstation is not what it used to be. Hence why that despite the PS5 as the number one, consoles sales overall are still failing reason why Sony now expects to sell 21 million consoles in its 2023 financial year, down from a previous forecast of 25 million.
Also, Square-Enix doesn´t seem eager to reveal worldwide sales for Rebirth yet, which is odd since they´d revealed the worldwide Final Fantasy XVi sales nu...
"The Series S is doing better in sales than the Series X so MS is obviously going to do something similar again, then we’ll be in the same situation as now"
I don´t think so.
I believe Microsoft will release just one powerful next gen console. The other one will likely some Xbox handheld as a companion console to play on the go which relies on cloud gaming.
"MS are doing powerful consoles for show basically, to use i...
"Why though when nothing has truly pushed the current gen system"
Hellblade II will raise the bar to a whole new level and it obviously push the Series consoles to the limit.
We already heard from Shinobi that Gears of War 6 will push that bar even further.
Not to mention the upcoming Fable and both Clockwork Revolution and State of Decay 3 also powered by UE5.
I´m 100% positive that will see the Xbox S...

"Do not think that new hardware means that everything is okay with Xbox"
They´re obviously doing very well. The division is making tons of money, because that money isn´t just made out of the Xbox consoles but the whole Xbox ecosystem as a whole. The Xbox division has its games spread out across PC, Steam Deck, Nintendo, Playstation, Tvs, Mobile and now, multiple streaming services across the globe.

"But yeah, it's obvious you live in your own little world, far removed from reality."
I didn´t said those games flopped. But it´s obvious that *right now* both games aren´t doing better than its predecessors in sales.
"Rebirth in one month has already sold more than Starfield even though it was on a on a single platform, and it's already shown to have long legs, and FFXVI was pulled back into...
And people still wonder why Sony is now going multi platform with PC and focusing on Live Service games.
300+ Million on Spider-Man 2 just to see it lose in sales for an AA live service game released day and date on both PC and PS5.
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is another very expensive AAA game only available on PS5 which appears to be doing very poorly in sales, despite it´s quality and critic´s reception. It´s performing worse than Final F...

Hell yeah!!!
My favorite quote:
"Per emails received by Windows Central, confirmed by Microsoft as genuine, Xbox President Sarah Bond recently briefed her team on various topics.
In the emails, Sarah Bond reiterated Microsoft's plans to build new Xbox hardware focused on delivering "the biggest technical leap ever in a generation."
Way to go, Sarah!
Just focus and give us a full...
"Unique in what way? “Unparalleled realism” in what way?"
If you don´t played the first game you can´t possible understand.
