@ProfessorNiggle "Not sustainable" we been hearing that since GamePass launched 7 years ago....😂....and in another 5 years you will move the needle further up to another 5 years and so on and on.
Make no mistake Sony already has the Venom DLC ready, but they will only make it as a make believe full game right along with the PS6 release date as they did with Miles Morales.
We know Sony's questionable business practices already.
@naruball: While the last of Us is a good show, it's obvious more people have watched Fallout...Fallout's popularity exploded far greater on everything ever since and thanks to the fact that Amazon's producers took liberties in making the TV show unique and very fun to watch instead of replaying the game's story step by step like HBO has done with the Last of US.
@anoyonmus : That makes the whole situation with PlayStation even worse, as on paper they are a Japanese company but on people's perspective they have lost their identity reflecting on how poorly their consoles are selling.
@AsterZero Even if PlayStation has lost their Japanese identity, they still are a Japanese company on paper which makes those sales number look quite bad for the whole company overall.
Perhaps Sony trying to add obstructive ads to the PS5 had something to do with this mess.  After the massive backslash Sony had no choice than to rush and remove those ads while breaking everything else in their servers.
Imagine paying $700.00 dollars for a PS5 Pro that doesn't include a disc drive, can't enhance games without a developer's patch and now it will display ads that can't be disabled.
With so much talk about the PS6, it's already making the whole PS5 Pro an irrelevant $700.00 purchase that doesn't include a disc drive and lacks the ability to automatically enhance every game without a developer's patch.
@MARl0 : Psychology 101.... shopping anxiety of missing out drives demand, which ultimately drives up sales...and I'm hoping you are older enough to understand how the business world works.
@SilentBluntman MMM... Nope....it was highly reported that Nintendo created the Switch shortages as a way to control their yearly profits.... something we already saw Sony doing by creating just 12,000 PS5 Pro limited editions for the ENTIRE world.
If that's not causing consumer anxiety then you don't know the meaning of the word.
@SilentBluntman : Both Sony and Nintendo are no strangers to scummy sales tactics, as you can't deny Nintendo kept their Switch fake shortages for years when they realized their "precaution strategy" turning into high profits while causing consumer anxiety.
Thanks to the Nintendo Switch we have come to learn that when a game console sales out it doesn't mean high demand but company self induced shipment shortages as creating fake demand ultimately causes consumer anxiety in missing out.
I have no doubt Sony would do the same by just shipping a small amount every week and calling it "high demand"
I'm sure if we make that game massively fail the way Concord did, Sony once and for all will give up on LIVE-SERVICE games and focus on what we all want... single player experiences.

Re: PS5 Pro Not Compatible with PS5 Slim Face Plates, Sony to Release New Covers for More Powerful Console
Despite being the same size, the teeth that connect the cover to the console are said to be located in slightly different positions.
Obviously it was too much for Sony to do a nice gesture.
Re: Sony Shuts PS Studio Neon Koi without Ever Releasing a Game
@ted1317: Interesting Fact:
Sony has closed 4 studios in the last 12 months while Xbox has closed 2 in 8 years....equalling more game developers fired at Sony than at Xbox.
Next time you might want to get your facts straight before you comment and embarrass yourself again and again.
Re: Sony Shuts PS Studio Neon Koi without Ever Releasing a Game
Sony closing two studios in a single day.....so sad for those people to find themselves unemployed right before the holidays.....
Re: After a Tough Few Months, Sony Says It'll Keep Making PS5 Live Service Games
If Sony don't want to learn from this, we just have to repeat what we did to Concord....Bad publicity till Sony has to shut it down.
We gamers have far more power than gaming companies.
Re: Concord Cost Sony Over $200 Million, And Didn't Make a Single Cent
According to other reports Sony lost more than 400 million on this game.
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
So sad, all because they were forced to add LIVE-SERVICE aspects to a game that wasn't supposed to have it by design.
Re: Bungie Provides Lengthy Development Update on PS5 Extraction Shooter, Marathon
After Concord's trainwreck im sure they won't be showing anything until the very last minute.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Remains Steady on PS5, PS4 Despite Black Ops 6's Xbox Game Pass Inclusion
The game is very fun, so I'm glad to see it doing phenomenal on every platform while growing even more thanks to GamePass.

Re: Nuketown Map, Infected Mode on the Way to Black Ops 6 This Week
This year's Call of Duty is certainly on track to be this year's Game of the Year.
Between its already huge popularity and massive adoption through GamePass, is just testament to how fun it is to play.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552

Re: TV Show Review: Like a Dragon: Yakuza - Generic Japanese Crime Caper Doesn't Do SEGA Franchise Justice
Thankfully a second season of Fallout will be upon soon enough.
Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
@PsBoxSwitchOwner : A 1st Party GamePass tier for PlayStation and 1st party PS+ games for Xbox would be a magnificent idea....
they wouldn't have to be Day 1 releases, even older games would be enough for people to sign up for both services.
Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
Sony and Microsoft should come up with the biggest agreement in World history....
GamePass on PlayStation and PS+ on Xbox.
The world would be such a beautiful peaceful place to game.
Re: Mini Review: Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered (PS5) - A Hella Good Update
And yet no Call of Duty review on this site.....why could it be....🤔
Re: Random: Killzone Superfans Want to License the IP from Sony
Well if Sony is too busy milking Horizon, then they should let the true fans work on Killzone.
Re: Cash Rewards Still Missing for Many from PS5, PS4 Rewards Scheme PS Stars
Well is anybody surprised....
did anyone actually think PlayStation would let something good stand for long?
Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
Well, it's anyone surprised?
Re: No Lies Detected! Loved Soulslike Lies of P Will Look and Run Better on PS5 Pro
"Lies of P Will Look and Run Better on PS5 Pro"
People would hope so, after paying over $700.00
The real question is, would those improvements justify the $700.00 price tag....that's the real question.

Re: Crimson Desert Dev Found PS5 Exclusive Opportunity Appealing
Beating the dead horse with a new article?
It's perfectly ok to have studios to choose gamers across multiple platforms than choosing money at front with platform exclusivity.
Re: Sony Wanted PS5 Exclusivity for Crimson Desert, But Dev Reportedly Declined
Meaning the studio has integrity and cares for all gamers across platforms.
Very good for them.
Re: Like It or Not, This Is Why PS5 Pro Doesn't Have a Disc Drive
Digital purchases are synonymous to "Spend money to own nothing"
And I guess people love that.
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
Make no mistake Sony already has the Venom DLC ready, but they will only make it as a make believe full game right along with the PS6 release date as they did with Miles Morales.
We know Sony's questionable business practices already.
Re: Mini Review: Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred (PS5) - Hard to Hate This Meaty Expansion
Thanks to GamePass I have been enjoying Diablo IV, and for sure this new expansion it's a must to play.

Re: Boy! Sony and Amazon to Start from Scratch on God of War TV Show
It seems like Sony and Amazon can't get things running smoothly for God of War as Microsoft and Amazon prepares for another great season of Fallout
Re: Japan Sales Charts: PS5 Software Actually Sells for Once

Re: Japan Sales Charts: PS5 Software Actually Sells for Once
That's terrible numbers for PlayStation considering that it's also a Japanese gaming manufacturer and publisher.

Re: PS5 Pro, 30th Anniversary Consoles Now Available at More Retailers
$700.00?
No disc drive?
No enhancements without developers' patch?
No thank you
Re: Fans Are Concerned Until Dawn PS4 Could Be Delisted Following PS5 Remake's Release
Greed Has No Limits!
Re: PlayStation Fans Gleefully Snitch on 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Scalpers
If Sony really wanted the actual fans to get one they would be putting restrictions such as:
While all matching the same first and last name.
But I guess Sony profits no matter the scalpers.
Re: PlayStation Network Outage Has Now Been Resolved
Perhaps Sony trying to add obstructive ads to the PS5 had something to do with this mess.

With so much talk about the PS6, it's already making the whole PS5 Pro an irrelevant $700.00 purchase that doesn't include a disc drive and lacks the ability to automatically enhance every game without a developer's patch.
Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out
@SilentBluntman Nintendo competing for LCD screens with mobile devices as the reason for their "shortages"???...lol
We NEVER heard of the mobile companies ever complaining about LCD shortages....not even through the COVID days....find me a news article about it.
