People are buying a loaf of bread and complaining it's not a sandwich. HB2 is exactly all it was ever advertised as.

N4g has become the fox news of gaming. 85 opencritic and aside from ign, the only articles getting approved are 6/10 reviews. Most of what trends here seems to be so disconnected from reality/normal discourse on other platforms.
Anything not a mainline console is sent to die by Sony
If the pro drops this holiday, GTA 6 won't be out for another year and a half
Looking at GP attach rate for current gen Xbox (70%), the actual subset is gamers that want to purchase games.
I'm guessing the optimizations they've made for vehicles have opened up enough resources to push frames. Vehicles maybe weren't on the roadmap at launch so they weren't anticipating any big changes to performance. All speculation of course.
Doubt it, they were in financial trouble before the buyout. Probably would've gotten picked up by Embracer or gone under otherwise.
Guess we're stuck with 60fps
No one's even attempted to read the article here either. There's such an enthusiasm for any semblance of Microsoft struggling on this site that's it's not really worth trying to engage meaningfully. The full quote is just him saying that MS, Sony, and developers are having trouble because the console market as a whole is stagnating. They all feel confident that it'll continue to grow again, but public companies aren't allowed to not grow for any period of time without ...
While all of this happening, PC gaming is having really solid, consistent growth. Seems like consoles may have already peaked. It's clear from both Sony and MS that the business is unsustainable in its current form.
Same CPU in Pro, so the expectation is that it'll just be a res boost unfortunately.
I'd argue Sony has been the least innovative of the 3 recently. They've basically consolidated their entire brand to one genre of games. The opportunities they've had to innovate have resulted in them abandoning interesting hardware.
Big part of that is developers being super underpaid in Japan vs America. Like 40k low.

lot of words to say "yes"
Unless you're talking about Nintendo, which had about half of the gaming revenue of Microsoft before the ABK acquisition. MS's gaming revenue is about 50% higher than Sony's now.
Armchair accountants still not understanding the difference between expenses and investments.
It ebbs and flows. Everyone loved them again with the second wave of RPGish AC games. Valhalla and Breakpoint dipped it again, and now they seem to be on the upswing with Avatar. They're not particularly innovative, but everything they release is generally solid and technically sound aside from Unity. Shame they stopped cranking out their smaller, more arty games.
Sony fanboys have truly become the GOP of the gaming community.
All a matter of time at this point
