Short answer is yes.

Long answer, I expect the Switch 2 to outsell PS5 across its lifetime for 3 reasons

Nintendo has a far stronger 1st party line up that sell in some instances 2-3 times the amount than a PS5 generation bestseller

Most console gamers aren't obsessed with graphics, just good games

The updated power will bring over more AAA's and there a big cross over on JRPG's, with the ones not on the system now to be ported over (thus making me play my Switch 2 more than my PS5).

Nintendo won't try to compete with Sony or outsell them, but it probably will if the price point is the same or lower.

@tameshiyaku It's more like a full game and larger than the other spin off. Based on the content I have seen the price is worth it if you are a big RGG fan.

I enjoyed the game and I wish Corrine the best for the future. It seems like lots of other players enjoyed the game too which is nice to see. That is what gaming is about, not the weird post covid negativity we now get online.

I think a lot of us here are the elder folks (30+) who are a bit more invested in buying games rather than the free to play and subscription market. My younger brother (Gen Z) and my kids (Gen Alpha) have zero interest in physical games or buying them when they can jump onto F2P or mobile games. They also use gamepass on mobile and tablets. That's the future of gaming regardless of if we like it or not. Subscriptions are here to stay no matter how many comments we post on a website.

I'm all for SE revoking gaming licences for those found to be abusing/harassing their staff.

I have never been into musou games (only played Persona 5 Strikers and Fire Emblem 3 Hopes) but the demo was really fun to play so I will pick this up.

The golden age of gaming was the PS4 and early Switch Generation - 2013-2020. Things have become too toxic and divided since then. The PS5 generation hasn't provided much beyond reused IP's either. I'm looking forward to KKD2 as it's just more my things that BG3, which is played and only moderately enjoyed.

I think in a straight 12 month race at a similar price point and availability Switch 2 would dust PS5 in Sales. But GTA 6 alongside those other variables mean it is hard to predict what 2026 full year sales will look like. Due to the JRPG overlap and the lack of appealing 1P Sony games in the future I might just Switch over to Switch 2, but we shall see.

Seems a bit unfair to put this on Ubisoft when this studio supported many different companies including Sony. More engagement bait.

Glad this is in March as Feb is stacked for me. I will be picking up Ambulance Life and Trails Through Daybreak 2 alongside the big hitters.

I played LiS2 and then True Colours and enjoyed both, but the price and the fact I had no attachment to Max meant I just haven't picked this one up yet. I might get it on a deeper sale (under £25).

The IP is getting milked a bit, like a lot of Sony IP this generation. It's hard to say if the film adaptation will be successful like the main game or rather decidedly not so like the Lego game. Sony films are very hit or miss.

I do get the whole "if you don't like it, don't watch it", but don't be surprised if a lot of people don't.

Really spreading out those colour variants to get $.

Considering how much this franchise makes along with the Likes of GTA, that dev cost is just loose change.

@Boucho11 I looked at all the stores in England and none for Argos now..

Might get it for my Xbox, although I really don't care about the analog stick placement, as I am capable of switching between Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Controllers.

@CVCubbington My GTA 6 complaints could be:

Too woke
I'm too broke
No big smoke

My top 5:

GTA 6 (If it makes 2025)
KKD2
AC Shadows
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Avowed

Outside contenders:
Mafia The Old Country
Crimson Desert (If it makes 2025)
Like a Dragon Pirates of Yakuza
The Outer Words 2

For a game of it's size, I am glad they are giving reviewers the proper time to play and enjoy every aspect of the game.

So they admitted they lack the technical expertise to get the game to run on the Series S.. I can see why they stayed quiet for so long. Hopefully GS get the additional support they need to get the game running on Series S (which is more than capable by the way).

Enjoyed the game, but the stripped out romance just made it feel like a lesser P5 than it's own game.

@Lup 100% no player on any platform should take enjoyment from seeing others missing out. I understand why companies might want to do that for financial purposes.

I think players should try it on Gamepass before making any kind of judgement. It's very cheap the get the $1, £1 trial and then stream it off PC or phone if you don't own a Xbox. If you don't like Indy it's probably best to look at other games though. I think Pure Xbox's review score is low because they get a low clickthrough rate and an outlier score drives engagement. It's all about ad revenue these days.

I think here we talk more about games than watch them.

Honestly it's just nice to have games running close to 60 or 4k 60 with RT rather then having to choose. The console will be great for AAA launches in 2025, I think Ghost of Yotei and GTA6 will be particular highlights that convince more people to make the purchase. A nice price cut wouldn't go amiss either.

I can play other games like Kingdom Come Deliverance knowing they will play the best they possibly can outside of PC.

I got my pro yesterday and did some tests on various games, here is what I found:

BG3 - Improved RT lighting and better frame rates in the 60hz mode - still doesn't quite hit 60 in act 3 but much better

Metaphor ReFantazio: Now at a locked 60fps - it was 50-60fps on base PS5

Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd: Big uplift in RT reflections in the Quality mode, some the the best looking RT I have seen on a console to date - especially the water

GT7 - Awaiting the Pro Patch

Dragons Dogma 2 - Higher Res noticeable on a 4K TV but not a 1080p one, RT has been taken up to the next level. 30fps locked mode now locked in all areas, still some dips in cities for the 60fps mode.

Stellar Blade - Big uplift in fps on performance mode and resolutions greatly increased

Rise of the Ronin - Improved RT mode and a much smoother 30fps and 60fps mode, graphical fidelity seems higher

Spiderman 2 - Quality mode but at 60fps with all the RT turned on, looks great. The 30fps RT mode (40fps on a 120hz screen) is a real treat with some seriously impressive RT for a console).

Hogwarts Legacy - Noticeably improved RT on the Fidelity RT mode - still runs at 30fps but looks very good.

I plan on trying more games out today

If you want games that run at 4K with RT and 60fps, the PS5 pro is the only console currently that will offer than for the next few years. For the tech £700 is not that bad but for those happy with their PS5 and not wanting more there is no need to upgrade yet.

I got fomo over the PS5 Pro and caved in my ordering one on Curry's. I was surprised I could still pre order one for launch day on Thursday but happy about it.

I'm enjoying my time with the game 6 hours in

@UnlimitedSevens Stop proving my point haha

The best time to get a PS5 is when PS6 comes out.

I'm sure if we was looking at the concurrent players on PlayStation and Xbox, it would be higher than steam.

70,000 concurrent players for a SP game on Thursday isn't bad, and It might go up at the weekend. This isn't a flop or a runaway success, just a decent game doing decently well.

Ultimately what matters is that you enjoy the game, and if you don't that's also okay. If you aren't interested move on to something you are. EA don't need armchair accountants to speculate for them.

@TooManyBrownies Luke Stephens was pretty positive about the preview much to the dismay of his audience did not get a code and Dantics who was fairly critcal got one. Mortismal Gaming also got a code and is generally even handed and not afraid to call out flaws or bad practices. It's a 7-8 game for those who like action RPGs with light RPG mechanics, for others they are better off playing BG3.

Day one for me, I am looking forward to Thursday.

Looks like base cover/controller with stickers printed on

You could say Ubisoft has lost their crown.

This game is PEI detected (PlayStation Enhanced In-game)

@MikeRobT101 To be fair I did have the bug with the voice acting not coming into cutscenes. Quite a few people I know had that. Or the one where Spiderman was a cube. I had a couple of crashes too. It's well reported online the patches they had to put out in the first weeks of the game being out. It was a software issue not a hardware one.

The most disappointing game Sony has put out In a long time, I'm glad they are moving on and hopefully Wolverine will be much better when it launches.

The market speaks and the numbers don't lie - the cold hard facts. Nothing STJV can do about game devs like DN and Ubi closing studios in France if they can't afford to keep them open.

It's going to be on Gamepass so it will be a shorter experience. I'm looking forward to playing it on there.

I find it useful for checking my storage, controller battery and Wishlist without the additional clicks. The backgrounds are nice too.

I'm looking forward to playing the game next year. Hopefully the extra time will give it some good polish. 6 months is a long time in Ubisoft dev time considering the whole thing takes only 3-4 years. Ultimately I will decide for myself how I feel about the game. Basing my opinion off of those who monetize through hype or hate doesn't work out.

Looks okay, I don't know about £45 okay though. Maybe £15 kind of okay. I'm a big fan of Anya Chalotra but a lot of her is lost on in the game from what I have seen so far.

Nobody will be laughing when Sony takes full advantage and creates a monopoly of inflated hardware and software prices. We need completion to keep Sony in check. With the console price increases, PS5 Pros high RRP and the controller price increase, we are already seeing the effects.

MS will ultimately will always make more money than SIE with it's strategy as It attracts the more lucrative PC and mobile market. It's console gamers who will suffer with anti consumer polices.

As soon as console prices get in line with PC gaming and cloud/mobile gaming get more advanced, SIE will be in deep trouble. Console gaming is meant to be the affordable alternative to PC gaming.

Seen a lot of discourse around SiE's profit Vs loss argument on various games. To clear a couple of things up, both sides of the argument are right. Astro Bot has made a solid profit alongside other 1P titles but did make a sizable loss of Concord. SIE operating profit is already razor thin hence the trend to increase hardware prices to compensate for software losses. The hardware hasn't gotten more expensive to make, but the software has.

Dead Island 2 would be good if I had not already played it over a year ago.

Looks like the Xbox marketing did zero damage to sales as expected in the real world.

@Savage_Joe Shadows will probably do quite well but sadly this game will really be swallowed up by Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Monster hunter wilds and Avowed will be available at no extra cost on game pass.

I'm looking forward to the game and I have surprisingly seen quite a lot of other players excited about the game. I don't think it will win over many of the older DA player base but it seems to be picking up a lot of new fans, me being one of them. Also why does everyone have to use the word "woke" for anything that might be ever so slightly out of the norm. It's such a cringe and lazy term that should be banned from existence.

I think this whole cutting spiders out of a game is a non issue. Based on the pre order numbers I'm getting from my workplace I don't think this is going to bomb like the echo chamber online thinks it is. PS unsurprisingly has especially strong numbers. Xbox, not so much haha.
