What most don't factor in is that Sony has to get 30% of all sales on it's platform, so that is an immediate loss for Microsoft. So naturally it won't be reduced in any fashion.
@NateGoesLive yeah like why have netflix with Playstation video or Apple Music with Spotify , they're all competing platforms. Give no choice like amping up game prices and console prices, no choice.
@GADG3Tx87 Most emulation is software based, that goes for the xbox too, but it can read the disk DRM then give you the option to download it. If a kid in his garage can make a emulator for PS1, PS2, dreamcast, gamecube, etc without having the official schematics and full access to the tech then a multi million company with all those and more not been able to do it is a joke.
People throw around the word Raytracing too much these days and should remember Raytracing is not just one single thing but a group of things, games can choose just to use one part and "very rarely" use all as even this gen can't handle it all. GTA V will definitely not support it fully. Some notable usage is Gran Turismo 7 (Ray Traced Reflections) , Dying Light (Ray Traced Shadows) , Metro (Ray traced lighting, global illumination ) This gen still isn't up to par when it comes to RT, until they make it easier, which is were new engines like Unreal 5 comes into play but this gen will still struggle..
@GreatAuk I don't think you understand how this game works, pardon the pun. Do you honestly think developers get the proceeds of game sales? Your "extra" 10 dollars doesn't touch the lips of any developers in Guerilla games. lets put it this way, it takes 5 years to make horizon zero dawn 2, costs 50 million over them 5 years, it makes 500 million in first month of sales, how much of that 450 million profit goes into the "developers" hands? nada.
Judging a Consoles final power by a Development Kit is a useless endeavour considering they always have extra RAM as standard and can differ slightly in configuration to released product.
Also the "Exclusive" argument is a little stale at this point when you have to wait so long for them and they usually end up forgotten quickly or flop badly or just don't live up to the years of hype pre-launch, just doesn't seem worth it waiting 5 years for an exclusive that last 10-15 hours.
As for the Power battle, the cloud makes that pretty pointless also with the computing happening in a server rack in a data-centre, not your console so the "power struggle" is pointless as they will be able to stream all next gens to a switch, android phone, let alone a PS5 or Xbox 2.

@GreatAuk Are you in some alternative world were developers don't get paid a wage for years making a game?
Re: Remember to Buy Horizon Forbidden West on PS4, And Not PS5
@Rural-Bandit the entire PSN is on amazons network, you're already in cohoots with them.
