@StrickenBiged I’ve seen it with films too, if you follow that particular route, you’ll realise the market for this path is not very big at all, just very loud but they don’t buy your games or watch your films, and the majority who do do that will now boycott you.

@NEStalgia I totally agree, and Sony are going down a path that will lead to their demise, they cannot survive without the PlayStation income, yet they seem to be royally screwing it all up.
A Pro console rumoured with an extremely high price tag, and games no one wants to play for ‘reasons’.

They will now be facing a new Nintendo console hardware and the explosion in PC gaming handhelds, unless they get some huge single player AAA games out like they are know for they will be on very rocky ground.

I was going to buy this, didn't pre-order though thank God. I waited for the reviews and now, well maybe I'll get it once it's on very cheap sale and it's had several patches. Shame.

@Jrs1 Yeap, The Last Of Us on PS3 proved what could be done when you push a system.

@Jrs1 It'll drop in no time, say it transfers into £550 to £600 with no disk drive! Can't see it selling too well.

@Kalime78 no one knows when the Switch 2 will be actually on sale. But a renowned leaker who has predicted every single event they've held this month, and is the ONLY person to have done so. Including this week which Nintendo has never done before, is doing it to move up the release and launch schedule of the Switch 2 and it will be officially announced next month. It is at this stage as confirmed as this PS5 Pro launching next month is.

Oh and the Switch was announced officially in its reveal trailer in October and was on sale the following March / April.

@ED_209 Ah we shall se with the Switch. But a PS5 at 700?! I'll be shocked if it's sales hit a million of that was the case.

@zebric21 Gotta say at this point I'm interested in the next Switch and the Steam Deck 2, having both of the current models. And a PS5.

Rumours are suggesting a 500 to 600 dollar price tag, that's DOA if it is! Plus Nintendo are heavily rumoured to be unveiling the Switch successor in the next 3 weeks, so Sony will be all the luck in the universe to get any PS5 Pro sales that price against a competing platform. Higher FPS isn't going to do it alone. When they ua t got anywhere near the limits of the current hardware..

Meanwhile Nintendo has got the Switch so good it's running games like Hogwarts on handheld tech that's nearly a decade old!

Meh tons of reviews out already. I’m kinda still interested in it, I loved Watch Dogs Legion.

If it exists, I actually don’t see it selling well. The PS5’s power hasn’t been fully utilised as it is. Why bother with brute forcing games to try and run better? Devs should be optimising more instead. Plus unless they do a significant PS5 price drop, it’ll be one heck of an expensive console.

The fact the Steam Deck has sold several million is massive in the first place! Before it came along, the PC console handhelds from the likes of Aya Neo or GPD were only selling in the thousands! Valve has literally thrown a hand grenade into the marketplace!
And they have the money as do Asus and Lenovo to make refresh new models regularly. But these handhelds already have a humongous games collection, HUGE collection readily available to run on them.

Sony is a different platform, it doesn’t have the scope to build a dedicated handheld system and entice enough developers for it. But its remote play has been pretty darn reliable and good for a while now, it was genius to make the Portal, as it proved people love having a dedicated handheld, and it’s cheap enough to be presented as a gift.
It’s gathered quite the following now, like the Steam Deck and other PC handhelds.

Nintendo had had the biggest success though for sure, but, to make the Switch a success it overhauled its entire business, and scrapped any dedicated home or portable console departments, they don’t exist now and they are all in on the one device. And it was a genius device that is just so seem less going from handheld to desktop mode. It’s such a successful model it’s why the next console is just continuing the platform. Not reinvent ting the wheel.

I think Sony should stick to their guns, the PS5 is more powerful than these handhelds for now, and it offers the console plug and play experience. It should just release an updated Portal if anything, with better WiFi and an OLED maybe, so long as it doesn’t increase that price point as it’s been key to its success. But its owners just want that continued plug and play experience on the road of the better more powerful hardware. No cloud involved either.

Since the Switch handheld gaming has had quite the revolution, and it’s only set to continue. But like Nintendo, I do not believe Sony has the resources for two dedicated teams, one for handheld and one for home console, so like Nintendo stick to the current formula as it’s working well. It’s simple to use your hardware teams to design a handheld remote play device, it’s much harder to then make a dedicated handheld and support it with software like a home console.

I’m gagging to know if Gears Of War will come to PlayStation, I think it will.

I pray for Gears Of War..

Excellent, they should now make games and release them on all platforms bar PC and Xbox.

I’m buying it no matter what. It’s always an internal leak that gets these things out. Someone was laid a lot of cash..

I think the way Sony are handling it all is fine. Put their big games onto, PSN after a year or so. But they need to boost the games on their trial system as I’ve used them loads to see if I like a game. People may say but they are paid demos, well yeah in a way, but we’ve not really has game demos like you got it PS1 or PS2 for years and years now. To me Trials is a brilliant feature. And with Microsoft making cut after cut after cut in staff and increasing the price of Game Pass multiple times it’s good Sony hasn’t copied them.
Game Pass is just too much, you seriously need a LOT of free time to make the most of it.

I’ll get this once it’s price drops a bit, lots of other games to play first but this one does look massive!

Get the team behind Twisted Metal to make it, that's a good show that one. I enjoyed it anyway. Also move away from Netflix they have a lot of misses as well as hits.

God Of War Ragnarok, picked it up second hand last weekend, never played it. I find the kid damn annoying as is the game practically telling you what to do lol. But smashing monsters with blades on chains never gets old, stunning looking game too.

Agree with the top spot but not the second one, think that should be third of fourth. I’d bloody love a new one exclusive to PS5 though….
I think the puzzles and set pieces were brilliant in The Lost Legacy.

I would really really really really like a new Uncharted console game, and I’d love them to make a mobile Uncharted game too, if the Vita could run on so can a phone.

For me Uncharted is better then The Last Of Us, part 2 especially.

I guess this is the future, I mean they gave us an all digital PS5 from the off this gen. But at least this analyst thinks we’ll get at least one more gen with a disk drive. I’ve been buying games digitally across different platforms for years now though.

@CP2 I’ve seen a lot of thoughts that when they launch the PS5 Pro they will announce a lot of big first party games, and use the Pro to show them off. That could make sense if a Pro model exists. I guess we shall see. I have a few games to keep me busy and shall play the new Star Wars one when it’s out.

Could not care any less about this crap. These 'free' (word used in very loose terms), games can stay on mobile and well away from my console. Sony made a mistake concentrating so much on them, and now currently seems to not have much else to offer beyond these games.

@SteveJaye He is married, has children, he engaged in sexual messages with a girl who is underage in her country, he IS a sick pedo. If Twitch hadn’t caught it and stopped it, he may very well have ended up abusing a minor. If you are under that age of consent in that country you are a child.

I’ve seen so many people try to claim this was nothing, he never did anything, it’s a witch hunt. I had the opposite view, I had idiots claiming they would know if their was a Police report, they would know from the court documents etc etc. I stated no you wouldn’t, you don’t automatically get full access to all documents of a court case just because you are a member of the public.

He has admitted his guilt because he was forced to after his own studio sacked him, obviously after they were made privy to the truth of what he’d done. I hope this ruins Dr Disrespects career.

He sued Twitch for banning him, his lawyers buried what he did and why Twitch banned him, I only hope all social media platforms now ban him too. I have NO time for nonces.

@Nepp67 Yeap, MS definitely shot themselves in the foot be requiring every game to run in Series S. and it pays the price when games take longer to come in its platforms, trying to blame Sony with their snide remakes won't change the fact they messed up.

Why in earth did you use the title ‘Great Exclusive’ instead of ‘Great Game’? Because this game will be on PC in a year or two.

Xbox has this year reminded me of the days when Sony had Tretton or House at the helm, and we had E3 still, those were the days, now it's shows seem just as dull as the suites all Sony execs wear. Jim Ryan sounded as exciting as wet fart in a lift which is fine if you have the games to show off, and at present they do not.

Xbox's showcase was utterly astounding! Brilliant and exciting! Summer Games Fest and the State Of Play were utter boring waste of time garbage with nothing new or anything of interest to me. I haven't seen the other shows and Nintendos is next week.

The only thing Sony showed that was remotely exciting was Alien VR. Sure Astrobot but that's more of the same experience.

Geoff seemed pissed off that Microsoft and Nintendo especially didn't show any games at his crappy show, well that's how E3 worked, they all had their own individual shows and I loved it for that. Games Fest is just a 2 hour long advert for Geoff to make more millions from, and he isn't the worlds best presenter either.

Cannot believe we went from E3 to the Summer Games Fest bore.

@UltimateOtaku91 Astrobot has not been confirmed has it, remakes yeah if a PS3 game is hardly something to shout about. I’ll give you Returnal and Spiderman 2 but neither of those are exclusives anymore, it that that is what I claimed. DLC give me a break that’s pure desperation.

@twitchtvpat No, they wasted time on useless remakes too. If they hadn’t done so they would have actually had a new game out by now. I mean The Last Of Us has been remastered what 3 times now? Talk about milking a franchise.

@UltimateOtaku91 And yet at least 50% of PS4 owners are refusing to upgrade to PS5 because it offers nothing new to them. Xbox showcased 30 games tonight, most of which are CURRENT GEN ONLY! Sony I don’t think has one current gen first party game yet?
You really should criticise Sony here and lay off the koolaide.

Xbox didn't show games years out! Every single one it showed will be released this year or in 2025. That's a lot different to Sonys strategy which doesn't seem to have any games!

Where's the next Uncharterd? The last Of Us? Nowhere because Sony instructed Naughty Dog to waste time trying to make a live service multiplayer game.

Despite the controversy surrounding Microsoft, it delivered big today.

@CP2 Yes but only if you play those exclusives, I found Horizon Zero Dawn to be a chore so never bothered with the sequel, beyond that one not been interested in any of the first party games Sony has bough to PS5, Unchartered would be nice, played them all in PS4 so any remasters don't interest me. I want new games or anything from Naughty Dog that's new and not a remaster. I don't care how they want to see how many times they can milk money from previous games, stop wasting time with the remakes and make something new or a sequel.

I know there are a couple of games coming though that I will play, can't remember the names of them now but I think one is PS exclusive. But Xbox has several that interest me.

@Medic_alert Nintendo still do and have games sales revenue that far surpasses Sony and Xbox, due to selling so many Switches. Now Sony and Xbox release their exclusives on PC.

@Medic_alert Only six of the games shown are cross platform and one of those is DLC, going by this sites front page, and they showed what 20 games or more? Seems exclusivity has been ramped up for Xbox and PC.

Ahh that’s it new Gears I’m getting an Xbox.. and they’ve usefully just updated them too.

@KundaliniRising333 Yeah I had all three last gen, this gen I went Series X only and really I switched due to the ads on the dashboard and where I thought Microsoft was heading.. this gen may as well have all three again. Sony have been incredibly dull this gen.

It’s daft that I hope Microsoft will save them by brining its games over lol. I think Sony just wasted so much time with bloody live service games, one good one and that’s it. They should be firing executives, hopefully now Ryan has gone they may get back to decent proper games rather then crap to try and profit off.

@UltimateOtaku91 I am, several games several brand new games almost every one current gen only… I’m using common sense thanks, Sony has this year and even last shown nothing to compete, nothing.

@KundaliniRising333 I’ll also add something else, THE best next gen feature I’ve used so far between Series X and PS5 is Quick Resume bar none! You can turn your console off completely, turn it back on and pick up straight where you left off in several games, no sleep mode needed like PS5.

@KundaliniRising333 Do you know what I’ve played this year on my PS5 the most? Dead Island 2 and it’s DLC and COD MW 3, great games but multiplat, only Sony games I like are remakes I don’t care about as I’ve done them like The Last Of Us or Uncharted which we haven’t seen anything new from for years now.
May get another Series X to be honest as I do like my Zombie games and State Of Decay is good.

@riceNpea Xbox just made it VERY difficult to buy a PS5. A barrage of current gen games including brand new titles. Sony is like here’s some DLC, indie games and games on both last gen and current gen.. it’s making me question my decision to sell my Series X for a PS5 lol.

Sony seriously needs to pull its finger out its ass and actually show some damn new AAA games, not just claim stuff is in development.

Also one game announced for PS5.
