Is Mario Kart 8 being sold as a bundle or something? How does that game keep charting after all these years?! Goodness gracious. It is awesome though. Can't front on that.

@fR_eeBritney Good one!

@The_New_Butler Fortunately and unfortunately.....same!

@Migoshuro Or you could look at his/her comment as frustration from people downplaying the sales. Regardless if it's from scalpers or not, there are people buying the console. Doesn't negate the sales.

It's the rhetoric that most of the sales are from scalpers, which isn't true. You don't think he has a point to be sarcastic at those folks being sarcastic about the scalper situation?!

@B_Lindz This game was announced for PlayStation before the acquisition. MS would have had to pay to keep the game off of PS consoles. Can't just backtrack on a deal because of an acquisition without penalty.

@wiiware No love for Naughty Dog?

@mrtennis1990 Very much agreed. After the underwhelming State of Play that just happened, this isn't welcoming news at all. I also hope they have something SUBSTANTIAL planned.

@WolfKingk87 They all copy each other. There have been plenty of things Sony "copied" from others. You know...like achievements for example.

It looks pretty decent to me. My kids and I will enjoy it. PS All Stars 2 would be VERY welcomed. Don't know why that game got a bad rep. It was good. Of course we don't expect it to be on Smash's level, but still good nonetheless.

@blinx01 Okay got it. Thanks for the info. Yeah and 24 months is definitely OD (over doing) it. Sony is spending too money doing these timed deals. Either make it full on exclusive, or don't bother with the timed deals.

@blinx01 Is Forspoken, Project Athia? That's the only game outside of Deathloop that I've seen that says it's timed. Besides we all knew Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo was timed. It's been mentioned a million times. I just wasn't sure about Forspoken.

@blinx01 It says it's a console exclusive, not timed. Where did you get the timed bit from and how long it would be?

Japan is a weird market these days. It does seem like they only care about Nintendo as of recently. Or maybe mobile is what they care about and the Switch is perfect to fit that need.

@Omnistalgic Fair enough. However, this also can work as a fighter as well. Fairy Tail wasn't an arena fighter. It was a proper JRPG. It can also work as a fighter too though.

I don't want to be that guy, but it seems like Platinum loves making Nintendo games pop versus being contracted to make other games they may or may not be fully invested in. (Not including Nier Automata in that. That game was amazing!)

@Envy Nah I doubt it. Xbox owns Hellblade 2. The only other place I see it going is PC.

Sony be making some unorthodox decisions as of late.

@BoldAndBrash So what if MS has a big wallet. I seriously doubt a DQ game would miss PlayStation consoles over Xbox ones. The most Xbox could do there is have timed exclusivity. Which I doubt is happening.

@nessisonett Really?! When was that?

@Akurusu I mean, Yakuza left it's action base for turn base and it was a hit. I didn't like it as I don't really enjoy turn base games, but I get it. Sometimes a fresh change is good.

Hell yeah they should!

@Akurusu Walking Zombie Simulator......really?! Say what you want about the game, but the aesthetics graphically is a marvel.

I would love to support this game....if I had a flipping PS5 to pay it on. Oh and NO I'm not shelling out 70 bucks for a game I can't play right away.

@Quintumply It's gonna be massive meltdowns and some if they only release this on Switch. Lots of hate DM's and such to the publisher and devs. I would hope no one would stoop that low. Please let it hit ALL platforms as TMNT has fans literally everywhere.

@MidnightDragonDX I mean other console versions has been mentioned before in other platform's event. As long as it wasn't exclusive.

While I don't think PlayStation is "losing" per se, I will say that they do need to recover some lost ground here. Lot of narratives being painted and it's not in their favor. Xbox is doing very well and GamePass is a huge hit. We're not going to front like it's not.

@uptownsoul I totally forgot about Joe Montana. Well anyway, something has got to give. I wonder how Sony benefits from developing a game for all platforms. MLB must be giving them more money for other platforms. There's no way it's the same exact deal without the pot being sweetened for Sony.

I wonder if they (San Diego) can stop developing the game after this one. Unless there's a deal in place where they must continue to develop the game on all platforms. If that's the case, where's the benefit for Sony?!

Ditching further development after this game would be beneficial. Create your own baseball game using the same exact engine and make them PlayStation iconic characters...or something!

@jaycptza Cute that you think Americans are the only ones that have a problem with censorship.

@nessisonett Right! Screw that guy. As ambitious and great looking as this title appears....I can't support crappy practices like this. I just can't.

@Menchi It still wouldn't sell as much as the PS4 version. I mean we literally say that about every game in existence.

@sanderev How do you know Xbox Series X has the better games?! Nothing was really shown yet. Also history has shown that PlayStation has the better games for the most part. If you're talking 3rd party, then I guess you would have point. Again though... we still haven't seen much at all.

@Bistna444 You okay? You need a hug? Damn relax. Just because Xbox blew their load with a "hurry up" reveal of the Series X doesn't mean Sony has to follow suit with the PS5. Sony is marching to their own beat and not the beat of MS. You shouldn't expect them too.

So your Pro has been collecting dust just because it doesn't have bc?! Wow... I get it if you're not interested in Ghost of Tsushima. What about Last of Us 2? Sony has been cranking out exclusive after exclusive. Can't say the same for Xbox One. The 3rd party games released for the Pro and XSX graphic fidelity is marginal at best. You could get a game for either system and be good with it. Still, I don't argue anyone's preferences.

I do understand your frustrations for wanting info. PlayStation normally gives info out around June (E3 timing) for their next console. We just have to wait a bit more.

Also, we don't know everything the PS5 is gonna offer. Yes backwards compatibility is confirmed for PS4 games. Maybe their waiting or testing to see if it will work for the previous consoles. PS3 will be difficult. More than likely an emulator would be used for that. PS Now is valuable NOW. It wasn't years ago, or even months ago in my opinion. The price is what was killing them. They won't get rid of PS Now, and that's the reason why I think we won't see PS3 for backwards compatibility. They're at least working with MS to improve the network stability for streaming through Azure. So PS Now has improved and people aren't gullible for getting the service.

Holy moly donut shops Batman! This comment section...

Guess I'm in the minority of folks who adores their Vita. Apparently some of the developers feel the same. It's probably why the Vita got support as long as it has.

@dkxcalibur Very good. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Exclusives, whether some think aren't great or not is still good for the console brand. Having more is always welcome. At least you can choose which would fancy your interest.

@3Above Not really. They don't need more power. That's not the problem they have. Their problem at the moment is exclusives. That's what's going to get them back in. However, I'm not so sure that "sales wise" they'll be able to catch PlayStation. The PS brand is stronger worldwide than just US. Xbox should just continue to get exclusives. They still sell at a great rate. It's not bad at all. It's outpacing the 360.

@RustyBullet Okay let's go with disappointing then. That is STILL subjective. While you could (not saying you personally did) say a game like Uncharted 4 is disappointing, someone else may find the game to be one of the best this gen has to offer. I never said Xbox doesn't have any games. Just that they pale in comparison in the exclusives department versus PlayStation.....which is undoubtedly true. The one thing I can agree with you here is that Metacritic shouldn't taken as the holy grail of reviews. Which is why I didn't cite it. I'm talking about well respected reviewers. Then again, even that's just an opinion of one person.

I would never argue someone's personal preference. I just thought that was ridiculous to say that Sony's exclusives were disappointing and yet Xbox was "smashing" out with exclusives. That line of wording lead me to believe that you thought that the number of exclusives on Sony's side was dismal compared to MS's. That is far from the truth. You didn't say it was what you thought personally. That's why I said something. So we've reached the climax of this conversation. It's your preference. Nothing more needs to be said.

@mrobinson91 EXACTLY!!!! Whether it's games you enjoy or not. The fact that there's variety AND quality/quantity isn't debatable. PlayStation has a more diverse games and...well...just has more. Quality is subjective I suppose.

@RustyBullet Well then say that. Say you prefer games on your Xbox than on PS4. Also, you do know that Xbox One has started acquiring the same amount of indies as PlayStation, right?! I guess not. It's nothing wrong with preference. Just don't talk about PlayStation not having any and Xbox has more. That is just absolutely false.

I do want to ask though. What is the difference of having games on your Xbox One to your PC? They share over 90% over their library. That includes games like Gears, Halo, and Forza.

@RustyBullet Then maybe you need to practice what you preach about stating facts. It is a WELL KNOWN fact that Xbox practically had no exclusives. It's the major complaint that most gamers have about them. "Xbox smashing out exclusives"....WHERE?!?! Oh and I guess I should clarify that I have all platforms as well to solidify my "objectiveness". Unfortunately for you, you're incorrect. PlayStation has been killing it with exclusives. It's not even debatable. Whether you like JRPGs, fighting games, action, etc...PlayStation has been very dominant. Let's not go tit for tat on the exclusives part. You'll be fighting an uphill battle. While the new Forza Horizon 3 is an exceptional game and is thee best race simulation on consoles, Xbox has really dwindled the quality of their flagship titles. Gears 4 is a good game, not as great as their previous titles. We won't even speak about ReCore. It was just an ok game. While Halo 5 was good, it's not as well received as it was in the past. Quantum Break is a good game. Although some people was too negative on the game...I think the game did it's job and was expected to do unrealistic numbers for an unproven new IP.

On the PS side. Well there's just too many games to name. Whether it's shovelware or something epic. You have quantity and quality. Uncharted 4 and Ratchet & Clank alone was phenomenal. Not to mention the sleeper in The Last Guardian, Alienation, KOF, etc. Drawn To Death is horrible in my opinion as well as some other indies. Too many to name. SFV has become better over time. Killer Instinct is still better though. See? I know how to give credit where it's due and criticize where it need be. If you like Xbox more than PlayStation, that's cool. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't try to discredit them with false facts about exclusives. ESPECIALLY exclusives. It's no secret PlayStation is killing Xbox on that front alone. That's why PlayStation is ahead of Xbox at the moment. The games....! This year already is jam packed with games from them. I'm sure Xbox will have some stellar announcements at E3 (so will PlayStation). Xbox needs to get back in the game with the exclusives.
