Numbers are likely based on next Gen console purchases. Which Nintendo wouldn't qualify under. And also a nice way to skew the facts and make Microsoft appear desperate, which it really is. Xbox has 1 potential hit this year with Starfield. That's it. No Forza 8 doesn't count.
But yeah. It's terrific. 6.0 was where I stepped out after 8 years. The story arc completed. Everything since that is just Epilogue. But props to anyone still enjoying it.
It was a Niche off-genre title for the brand in the first place. Very similar to Super Mario 3d World. I enjoyed it, but no lie the performance on PC isn't terrific.
I really want to love this change to ftp. Doing so means I can dump XBL entirely with OW being the last reason to keep it. But there is so much bad going on with the launch. And I do not enjoy the new graphical look, at all. All the art now looks softer and a bit muddy, I had to double check my settings to make sure I wasn't running on 720. The sound is a big change as well, they've muted or softened some characters like Pharah. Or made others sound obnoxious like D-va who sounds like she's firing .50cals at you.
I'm more excited for this than anything aside from Uncharted this winter. It's Super Mario 3d World with 90% more joy! No idea why it didn't sell well but I'm very happy about this. Gonna save some space on Internal for my Steamdeck.
@truerbluer I swear they are treating the Steamdeck like they're own personal Vita. Just picked up Kena on Steam and I may grab Sifu from Epic store. The Steamdeck is a portable PS5. Just gimme Ghost, Ratchet PS5, Bloodborne...ok nvm, just give me all the exclusives. Just make sure a Team Ico compilation is included. You also forgot FF7 Int. Every damn one is Verified too.
@PegasusActual93 I adore the game. But it looks like porridge. Just be honest. I'm waiting for PS Vta exclusives to be translated over to Steamdeck for some higher res on it. Meantime I'll play more Uncharted 4 and try and finish LL this time.
Long as they don't lose Steamdeck verified status, do whatever. Trophies are irrelevant to me anyway. But online login required connections mean a helluvalot.
@TrickyDicky99 Not sure where you gets your stats from. But last I checked Playstation doesn't clear 30bill in revenue, let alone profits, on an annual basis. Sony might. But not just the Playstation division. From what I've read, this has been first driven by the developers who wanted more profits, which they are getting. Then once it was shown to be profitable, Playstation went all in.
Pretty brilliant. Use old titles for massive profit on an untapped market during the upcoming gaming Lull. By the time it's over they can start releasing on both platforms simultaneously at game release. Next is Uncharted then Last of Us most likely. Returnal has supposedly been sorta confirmed for ages but I'd guess every single Sony exclusive is coming PC way. I'd love to see SotC and Ghost myself.
NFT's are DOA. Time to move on. Squ-enix is gonna end up selling soon thanks to the CEO's insistence on the market. It's hilarious that a business model that maybe 1% of your consumer base thought was interesting, gets so heavily wrecked by over-investment, terrible marketing and poor products.

Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
I've seen some absolute dogs on the Nintendo Direct. Not sure what's you're on about that they ALWAYS produce something.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Highly Anticipated 1.7 Update Could Be Coming Soon, or So Fans Think
Add PSVR2 support, not just cinematic ACTUAL VR support, and I'll take back every negative I've ever said about Cyberpunk.

Re: State of Play Confirmed for Thursday with PSVR2, Indies, Third-Party Games, and Suicide Squad
Hoping the 5 new VR games are updates. I'd love to see a Cyberpunk, Metro or Dishonored VR mode.

Screw every single one of you. Forever.
Re: Gods Revel, Lands Tremble as Final Fantasy 14's Mammoth Patch 6.3 is Revealed
@BowTiesAreCool it was NMS before NMS.
But yeah. It's terrific. 6.0 was where I stepped out after 8 years. The story arc completed. Everything since that is just Epilogue. But props to anyone still enjoying it.
Re: Three Sony Games Nominated for Ultimate Game of the Year Award at the Golden Joysticks
How on earth is GT7 in that list?
Re: Sony: PS5 Price Increase Hasn't Affected High Demand
Thanks to very little precaution by anyone, especially Sony, it's still the scalpers buying every one in sight.
Re: Frost Queen Mei Removed from Overwatch 2 Due to Ice Wall Bug
How's about letting her Freeze people again? Ya know, like we've been doing for 6 years.
Re: The Last of Us: Escape the Dark Is an Official Board Game, Kickstarter Next Week
Uhhh why the hell is a popular licensed IP being put thru Kickstarter? You telling me Sony and ND can't fund this and won't benefit?
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Has Proven Very Unpopular on PC
It was a Niche off-genre title for the brand in the first place. Very similar to Super Mario 3d World. I enjoyed it, but no lie the performance on PC isn't terrific.
Re: Just 70MB of Data Contained on the Modern Warfare 2 Disc
Not the first time this has occurred.
Re: The Witcher Remake Announced, Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5
Saw footage of it once. Looked like an N64 game, without the polish.
Re: Random: Marvel's Spider-Man PC Mod Lets You Play As... IGN's Gotham Knights Review Score?
I've yet to play a second of GK. And royally never will. All the footage I've seen looks dramatically poor compared to the Arkham series.
Re: Uncharted PC Port Has Lowest Player Count of Any Sony Game at Launch
Think it's more the total flood of titles hitting PC from Sony right now.
Re: New Tales From The Borderlands (PS5) - No Tale, Too Much Borderlands
Glad I took a pass on this. My adoration for the original shouldn't be tainted by a crap cash grab.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
83% want 60fps. That's pretty overwhelming.
Re: Hands On: God of War Ragnarok on PS5, PS4 Is PlayStation At Its Pomp
The ultimate Swan Song! Can't wait.
Re: Mate! McDonald's Offering Overwatch 2 Epic Tracer Skin, But Only in 'Straya
So they're offering the Old Lightning Skin? Maybe in the next promo they can offer to fix Mei. Or nerf Zarya back to normal.
Re: PC Versions of Future Naughty Dog Games Always a Possibility
Gd-it, gonna need more storage for Steamdeck now...
Re: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Remake Announced as a Console Exclusive
Steamdeck verified. Say it.
Re: Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection (PC) - Treasure Hunting Never Looked So Good
Holy hell this install is huge. The pre-download was 89g. Now it's building itself and has gone for near 2 hours and STILL unpacking.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 'Making Good Progress', Still on Track for 2023
Oh the death knell of reassurance from corpo.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Crawls onto PC in November
Nice. Poor ole Steamdeck was feeling neglected with only Triangle Strategy, Uncharted and Sackboy coming this month.
Re: Overwatch 2 (PS5) - More 2.0 Than a Full Sequel
I really want to love this change to ftp. Doing so means I can dump XBL entirely with OW being the last reason to keep it. But there is so much bad going on with the launch.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima, Sly Cooper Dev Sucker Punch Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Coooooool. Grats! Let's celebrate with Ghost on PC. Yayayayaya.
Re: Overwatch 2 Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
Sucks that it's getting DDOS'd. I was hoping to play a little today.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster for PS5 Reportedly in Development
Sooooo it's the PC version.
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure PC Version Dated for 27th October
I'm more excited for this than anything aside from Uncharted this winter. It's Super Mario 3d World with 90% more joy! No idea why it didn't sell well but I'm very happy about this. Gonna save some space on Internal for my Steamdeck.
@truerbluer I swear they are treating the Steamdeck like they're own personal Vita. Just picked up Kena on Steam and I may grab Sifu from Epic store. The Steamdeck is a portable PS5. Just gimme Ghost, Ratchet PS5, Bloodborne...ok nvm, just give me all the exclusives. Just make sure a Team Ico compilation is included. You also forgot FF7 Int. Every damn one is Verified too.
Re: Returnal PC Port a Foregone Conclusion as Settings Menu Leaks
Cool. My portable PS5/Steamdeck is getting lonely.
Re: Beleaguered Pirate Game Skull & Bones Has Been Delayed Yet Again
Portugal is not gonna be happy about this...
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure's PC Port More or Less Confirmed
My poor beloved PS4...just because I want all your games on SteamDeck doesn't mean I don't love ya.
You'll always be my Bloodborneđź’—
Re: After a Nine Month Wait, Uncharted Makes Its PC Debut in October
@PegasusActual93 I adore the game. But it looks like porridge. Just be honest. I'm waiting for PS Vta exclusives to be translated over to Steamdeck for some higher res on it. Meantime I'll play more Uncharted 4 and try and finish LL this time.
Re: After a Nine Month Wait, Uncharted Makes Its PC Debut in October
Portable Uncharted! Again! And not looking like hot garbage this time!
Re: Octopath Traveler 2 Revealed for PS5, PS4, Out February 2023
The first one would be cool but...whatevs.
Re: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Belatedly Swings to PC on 19th October
This is like the 4th new date. Just release it already. My Play-Steamdeck is lacking in exclusive Sony games.
Re: The Witcher 4 Will Kick Off a Multi-Game Saga, Says CD Projekt RED
After the Cyberpunk fiasco, I really have no interest in anything further from CDPR. An outsourced Anime looks better than anything done in game.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Needs a poll option 'Are you waiting for the PC version?'
Re: Poll: Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?
Stop toying around with the drip feed of PS1, PS2 classics and ramp it up already.
Re: Don't Be Surprised if Sony Brings PSN Integration to PC Games
Long as they don't lose Steamdeck verified status, do whatever. Trophies are irrelevant to me anyway. But online login required connections mean a helluvalot.
Re: Sony Expands PlayStation Homepage for PC Games
@TrickyDicky99 my bad. Apologies. You are correct. I misread that.
Re: Sony Expands PlayStation Homepage for PC Games
@TrickyDicky99 No. 14 bill. Took me all of 5 seconds of googling to find that.

Re: Sony Expands PlayStation Homepage for PC Games
@TrickyDicky99 the projections for 300 mill from PC alone say otherwise.

It is Verified for Steam Deck, I expect to got not one productive thing done this weekend.
