Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again... what a bunch of clowns.

Must have been playing different games from most of you, Gambit system took away the suspense of a tough battle for me with mathematical percentage algorithms.

FF7R battle system I thought was great fun.

SE just milks it's old games from when they were good. That's all Sony will do

A buyout won't change anything, FF7R will probably show up on Switch 2, FF16 would probably get a Cloud and PC version next year.

If it works seamlessly this will be a game changer in Japan.

Microsoft won't like it.

Got a soft spot for the Van Damme movie, so many one liners, cheesy story, love it!!

I watched a YouTube video of Pixel Game Squad going into a warehouse filled with sealed games from NES to PS4. That was 3 years ago, 214k views.

Some guy opening re-sealed games, 500k in a couple of days.

I don't get it to be honest...

@TrickyDicky99 you need to tell the publishers that then, maybe they'll listen to you.

Or they'll see 70/30 ratio and go, forget that guy.

Sony, Capcom, all of them, they're not your friend, they want your money.

@TrickyDicky99 A game like GoW:R runs okay on PS4, so much better on PS5. Why would Sony bother release on their old gen? Because there enough player base still there. Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft all have upcoming games to be released on PS4 and PS5. There's a Gamespot article from Feb 23 says 30% of activity is PS5 out of some 112m users.

Sales figures do show these cross platform games sell better on PS5, but why not try reach out to the 70% of PS4 users?

We'd probably see most of the 70% are Fortnite/Apex players, but publishers will see numbers, so of course they'll try PS4

@Wheatly Maybe those sales figures and other cross platform releases may put them off releasing on the PS4. Figures do always seems to be in the PS5's favour.

@Wheatly that's sales data. You wouldn't look at 70m PS4 users and 30m PS5 users and think to release on PS5 only.

More people are playing PS4, probably not by a small margin.

Why haven't Microsft given Sony bugged versions of Minecraft? Oh wait, because Microsoft will lose money.

These games were the closest we got to Tenchu.

Sad times, hope they find new jobs soon.

Went open world, If I could just play one for the rest of my life...

"The same version of the game will be available on all platforms"

Haha, CoD for everyone built on the Switch!!

Starting to look like Sony's only console competitor in Japan is itself.

It still doesn't feel like Sony are in a rush to release more Japanese appealing games?

@ShogunRok, I'm old enough to have played the PS1 version (PAL) and the loading was slow. Especially noticeable in battles, you'd wait a few seconds with the camera panning round the battle zone before the characters appeared, then the battle itself...

The PS3 version I noticed an improvement, how is the PS5 version for loading?

Still my favourite PS console due to the store, backwards compatible, the best exclusives and HD remasters, no region locks. Free online was great too!

I homebrewed one I got from a charity shop, guess that won't work for a bit.

Does feel like this could be achieved in Fortnite.

My favourite Kylie Minogue movie.

The developers then giving us a run down ruined the flow as well.

People just want games, game trailers, gameplay and a bit of game on the side.

I think I'd prefer just the PS1 version...

Japanese players are way too good is my only issue!

The Smash Bros killer?

Oooh, I should get Legend of Dragoon and Wild Arms free! Loved the PS3 retro stuff.

Not surprised by the PS5 thanks to the stock issues.
Not surprised by the Switch, its a 6 year old console.
I am surprised about the xbox.

My first adventure in Tokyo I played it safe, but soon gained confidence to go exploring, the big Asian cities arent as bad to navigate as you think. Glad you had a good time!

And don't worry about not being cool, we think you're cool!

Meanwhile China's charts show hundred thousands of software sales and 0 consoles.

@NEStalgia seen some stuff recently with your last theory.

Apparently the Chinese are buying them to resell in China, something about the PS5 in China being region locked makes the Japanese one more valuable.

Probably scalpers...

If a Switch Pro comes along that will secure it for sure, but even without it, Switch will eventually pass the PS2.

What a console the PS2 was though, affordable, DVD player, games for every genre, for all ages and the hardware, Guitars, microphones, quiz shows! The Switch still carries a lot of what the PS2 gave us.

Getting their PS5's before Final Fantasy!

It's gonna blow everything away.

Check out PS5 sales!
Comments: zELdA!

@schekter seems like the most logical reason, important year for PS5 and Japanese Developed games.

I hope they stop TLoU and go back to their best game, Uncharted

Boost in sales around the same time as a FF7 spin off game is released?

Think we'll be seeing a similar article when FF16 comes out.

Wild how few new games many of us have played this year. Apart from a few standout games, it's been a quiet year or there is not a lot of interesting games?

Bah, I thought with MS monopolising these it would inspire new fresh games to come out from other companies.

Bit like it was the old days, like you'd have 7/8 different fighting games on each console, maybe a couple would be good. But todays market, I guess the risks are too high.

I'd admit, the previews of this game didn't interest me, it looked boring, generic looking lead character, done to death story.

But word of mouth suggest this is actually quite a decent game. I think if they moved away from Sony and their criticism of the game, could had easily got a sequel with someone else.

This guys lost it though, not helped himself.

@Rob_230 nice, three games you've mentioned on my radar. Might start being on the lookout for a PS5 myself.

So much salt in here already 🤣

I'm expecting some more good numbers for PS5 and FF16, is there anything in-between then for PS4/5?

@The_Pixel_King high praise for Sonic indeed!!

Next will be someone using the Gameboy Camera!

Man, Nintendo had a quiet year. But we love our ports and remakes.

GoW been out like 2 days and already GotY contender!

Haha, the PS5 getting some good momentum in Japan and people in the comments just want to talk about the Switch 🤣

My main concern would had been combat, in 2018 it was the same tactics for pretty much everything and with the lack of bad guy variety, I wasn't enjoying the combat during end game.

Great there's some new bad guys!

For Sparta!!

8/15, my best score yet

Heh, a Proper Platform. Never a truer statement been made.

Yes, Nintendo are notorious for re-releases. In some defence, Wii U didn't sell well so it's games didn't reach many people.

But it feels like you're saying Sony has only recently started re-releasing this generation.

Crazy that GoW:R is just over a month away and feel like I know nothing and hardly seen anything about it.
