@Gamer_Guy But that's a good figure for Xbox in a region that they have no terrortory. Last gen they would be lucky to shift 400/500 consoles in a week. To take nearly 7k in a week, and I think the highest I've seen is 11k a week is good for them.
Some of the comments are exactly what I expect on a Playstation orientated site, but I always find it quite interesting when this happens. Suspect this will be a near-end gen release if they've only just founded.
I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully we get some more 1P reveals and announcements. We don't know anything else other than Spider Man 2 for next year. Yes, we have those third-party exclusives like Silent Hill 2, although don't think that has been confirmed yet for 2023?
Hopefully all brands bring to the table next year. Think it will be strong for both Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo next year.
@uptownsoul to be fair, at the time I wouldn't have trusted Microsoft with Marvel games. This was going back 2014/2015.
I guess the jury is still out whether they'd have done anything in 2021/2022 with Marvel, but Insomniac are superb with Marvel. I say let them do whatever Marvel IP they want to do after.
Xbox shafted by Square once again. It's a shame really, although I suppose one would argue that if you were a FF fan you would have been on Playstation from the start anyway
Some interesting predictions. Think we will get something from Kojima, think its more likely to be Death Stranding 2 more than Overdose, but we will see.
Hopefully we get some good announcements and reveals from both sides. Would like to see Sony announce some more bits, and would like to see a release date for Redfall/Starfield on Xbox side.
Think Elden Ring will take the GOTY over God of War.
@Would_you_kindly That's fair enough, although I suspect quite a few would disagree!
One of Forza, Starfield or Redfall will not release in the first half of the year anyway. Suspect Starfield may end up getting pushed to later in the year
@Would_you_kindly Redfall too next year, and then anything else that falls in the latter half of the year, Hellblade 2 perhaps out of the other games they've announced so far
Other than Spider Man 2 and Wolverine, have they officially announced anything else first party? I can't think of anything else first party.
Perhaps it's just not there yet. I suspect maybe we will get something SOP for Forspoken/Hogwarts Legacy in the new year, and then maybe a full showcase or something towards SGF/E3.
It's very hard, but it is not impossible re american acqusition of Japanese companies. Sony would find it a ton lot easier than Microsoft would. Anyway, out of the Japanese companies I would have said Sega was more likely MS's target.
Suspect Japan is their next target after ABK so will be very interesting
Be an interesting one re acquisition - Always thought Sony will acquire at some stage, but at this point given most of Square's games are exclusive to Playstation anyway, not sure how much it would be worthwhile
I guess this is where playing on the different consoles comes into play, so the allegiance doesn't ally anywhere as they both offer great games, but it has been hilarious to watch, and also read. That Sony response to the CMA makes for some very interesting reading

Re: PS Plus Premium Classic Pinball Heroes Has Trophies, and It's an Easy Platinum
@Ooccoo_Jr I admit I used to it for the achievements, but I don't anymore. Too much comes out now I want to play rather than go for a full platinum
Re: UK Sales Charts: FIFA 23 Scores Tenth Christmas Number One
@Fight_Teza_Fight Disc yes but don't forget Xbox is heavily digital now. These sort of boxed sales are really only good for PS and Switch
Re: UK Sales Charts: FIFA 23 Scores Tenth Christmas Number One
@Member_the_game Suspect whatever they call it next year will still do just aswell
Re: When Will Sony Unwrap PS5, PS4's Annual January Sale on PS Store?
Interesting, will have to keep an eye out to see what I can add to my backlog
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Will Officially Release Fall 2023, Sony Confirms

Great to see. Hopefully we get something a bit more than a blog post soon though.
Re: Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Remasters Rated for PS4
Xbox shafted by Square once again. It's a shame really, although I suppose one would argue that if you were a FF fan you would have been on Playstation from the start anyway
Re: The Callisto Protocol's Glen Schofield Clarifies Sony's Role in Development
But but but Playstation have paid the developers to hold back!
It's always hilarious when these sort of theories come out

I am waiting to see if they do sell it through other retailers other than direct before deciding
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2022?
All I can hear is my wallet crying next year
Re: US Government's FTC Will Attempt to Block Microsoft's Activision Buyout
Except this doesn't really mean much at the moment only that it now goes to court, which I still think they have a chance of winning.
Will be very interesting going forward now where they go if it is blocked.
Re: Hideo Kojima's Teases Continue on the Eve of The Game Awards
Will be interesting to see. Looking forward to either if it's Death Stranding 2 or the Xbox project
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Will Only Be Available Digitally on PS5, PS4

Re: Feature: 8 PS5, PS4 Predictions for The Game Awards 2022

Re: Reaction: Sony Poised to End 2022 without Major Press Conference
@Would_you_kindly That's fair enough, although I suspect quite a few would disagree!

Re: Criterion Games 'Would Love' to Return to Burnout Series in the Future
Hopefully one day.
Re: Reaction: Sony Poised to End 2022 without Major Press Conference
@Would_you_kindly Redfall too next year, and then anything else that falls in the latter half of the year, Hellblade 2 perhaps out of the other games they've announced so far
Re: Reaction: Sony Poised to End 2022 without Major Press Conference
Other than Spider Man 2 and Wolverine, have they officially announced anything else first party? I can't think of anything else first party.
Perhaps it's just not there yet. I suspect maybe we will get something SOP for Forspoken/Hogwarts Legacy in the new year, and then maybe a full showcase or something towards SGF/E3.
