It's a self fulfilling prophecy. If PS doesn't sell the disc drive and there are no games in the wild anymore, sure nobody will buy them because they cannot get hold of a physical game.
How does such a preview event work? Do they pay you for this? All of a sudden a "preview" of the (very niche) game can be found on every main gaming website.
Looks like just eye candy. Good bullet hell games can only be made by very few companies with experience. The patterns don't look good, almost only bullet cancels. The controls look crappy. Format is bad, way to wide. This has to be in tate mode. I hope they prove me wrong with this
From a business standpoint it is understandable, Tomb Raider is a brand for 40 year old (male) gamers, so no growth can be expected. You cannot make a free to play franchise from it since everybody only wants to play Lara and nobody buys cosmetic objects. You cannot sell NFTs...
Let's make a worst case scenario: Sony will be dead in 10-15 years, all the servers are down and all consoles die the CMOS death. And I am sitting on a pile of 500 physical PS4 games that cannot be played anymore...
I think the user-base for PS5 is too small to make profit. Thanks to scalpers and corona. When they sell it now, they can only sell it with a big discount later

Nice, but can it run Elden Ring?
