Where's the Xbox games?.....
@playstation_king
It's the same thing with next gen. As of now it makes me think of when Jin is about on a duel with the fake samurai. Haha
@JJ2 Haha
Sony : Tell me who you are?
Xbox: I'm Nobody. I am just trying to survive
Nice, ghost just keep winning
@playstation_king Xbox has games? haha
@WallyWest yeah even has a new xbox 360 game coming out next year called halo infinite
Somethings not right, GTA 5 is always in the top 10 charts every week, but it's not in these lists?
@playstation_king
“yeah even has a new xbox 360 game coming out next year called halo infinite”
That’s harsh, man! Accurate. But harsh.
Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Horizon ZD, AstroBot.
Sony is leaving this gen with a good set of new IPs And a great Spider Man translation to a AAA videogame. All they can continue on PS5.
This is how you keep building a platform.
Sure, PS5 might cost more. But looking at the value my PS4 has given me in the last 7 years - PlayStation is the safest bet in the videogame industry for top games.
Why do people keep buying average games like Paper Mario? Making money for Nintendo is so much easier than Sony. They can just make an empty disc with the label of Mario and people would still buy. On the other hand it takes years for Sony to make exclusive games and they still sell less than Nintendo games smh.
@Ah-Void - To be fair, is it any worse than Call of Duty being in an even higher place? (At least Nintendo games usually have a degree of charm to them)
@Ah-Void I think it's easy for Nintendo to bring out 1st party games as they are easier to make, recycled assets, no voice acting, no motion capture, no real story scripts, simple graphics palette and most are ports
