Re: A Massive Armored Core 6 PS5, PS4 Update Will Drop Later Today

Elden Ring was overrated as hell.
Pretty sure this will be too.
About time Sony starts making that BloodBorne remake or BloodBorne 2. With all the hype FromSoftware is seing regarding its games, it would bring a lot of PS5 sales, including from PC elitists, which are salivating for FS games.

@JAMes-BroWWWn All China Hero games release on PC too because that is the main platform in China. Consoles are not that popular there so it wouldn't make sense to be released just on Playstation. The extent of exclusivity is not known either, just that the IPs are not owned by Sony, and they can eventually release on other consoles. F.I.S.T. got a Switch release later on.

@DennisReynolds Can't argue with that, but in my eyes PS4 > Switch because of the vast AAA library. You can't even compare them. At the end of the day, it's a matter of taste. If Switch had all the multilatform AAA that the PS4 has, it would easily surpass it, cause most jrpgs have been already ported to it, even if many have shoddy ports, to say the least.

@StripedTomato For a while they stopped selling PS4, but then they realized they can't produce enough PS5s and made PS4 available again, only the Slim, though. Probably to have a cheaper system on the market to compete with Series S, at least for a while.

@DennisReynolds PS4 is 10 years old and still getting AAA bangers. I'm sure it'll still be getting at least jrpgs and indies 5 years from now. It is probably the best console ever, disconsidering numbers (Switch competes in 2 markets and completely dominates 1 of them).

@Voltan, it's not, but a lot of the popular games are still cross-gen. Like how many would have jumped on a PS5 just for Armored Core 6, but they won't cause they can still play it on their PS4 for another 100 hours of use with the system.
The PS4 is the best bang for buck console in history. Cross-gen games don't even look that bad on it.

If the sales remain the same, it'll probably be around 80-90 mil by 2027-2028 when PS6 will launch, unless they lower the price and bring out some unmissable exclusives.
80-90 mil is PS3 numbers, which is not great.
A lot of people are still sticking to their PS4s, as long as it's still receiving good AAA games, like upcoming Armored Core. Sony needs to get something out to convince those people to move over. GTA6 might be that game, even if not exclusive.

Re: FTC Fails to Delay Microsoft's $69 Billion Buyout of Activision Blizzard

@Shepherd_Tallon Good points, all, but consider one more X factor, a decently powered Nintenso console would also mean Japan publishers would be inclined to skip PS altogheter for the more popular Nintendo console. PS going the way of Xbox in Japan is a guarantee that no jrpg will get relesead on it, other than From Software games.

I think things will start to go very bad for Sony come PS6. The seeds have already been planted, focus on Live Service, bloated production cost and time for 1st party games, smaller JRPGs are going exclusively to Nintendo, losing COD and Elder Scrolls.
I can't see Sony recovering from this. PS5 will be their last succesful console.
This is coming from a PlayStation die hard fanboy, but I think I'm gonna need a Nintendo Console in the next generation, no way in hell I'm buying an Xbox.
