And the market is totally saturated with cheap to free content that’s of very high quality. New games needing 6 months of patches has trained people to wait before paying money on a purchase or game rental.
It's almost like conditioning their users to not buy games and subscribe to a service instead, which in turn would mean they're getting less money per user, is a bad way to run a business which is know for being extremely expensive to operate eh?
Plus, you can literally get Game Pass for free forever with MS Rewards. I haven't paid for an Xbox game in years, lol. It's great for me, but it can't be good for MS.
It has been clear for a long time that the Xbox management (including Phil Spencer, despite the constant claims that he's a "real" gamer) can't tell a good game from a bad game if their lives depended on it.
@@scheung14 Halo infinite was a pretty great single player experience. Multiplayer part is NOW apparently pretty good, which took WAY too long, but I don't think you can really say "halo hasn't been good for years" anymore. It's just not masterpiece-level anymore, if that's what you mean by "good."
It’s crazy to think how as good as some of their games were, Tango wouldn’t even be a top 5 studio for Sony… probably not even top 10, and they were probably the best Microsoft has had in 10 years…. Makes it all make sense why the Xbox business is failing
Dreams was dope! Microsoft to Media Molecule: “Anybody out there a superstar. Wanna stay a superstar. Don’t wanna have to worry about your executive producer… all in the video. All on the record. Dancin…”
Wow, I remember unlocking the yellow headed character in one of the LBPs as a kid and not really knowing its relevance. Seeing that it was from the inception of the game really brings me back
No mention of Big Mode’s first release and instant critical darling, Animal Well hitting ps plus day one? I played a bit this morning and the hype on this game is real. This along with Dave the Diver hitting plus has me feeling pretty high on life at the moment.
Mystic, you are really one of the best UA-camrs ever. You make the perfect kind of content for someone who isn’t too invested in Sony business, but should be up to date on all things ps5, as a ps5 owner
Ryan, thank you for being one of the few UA-camrs who does not simply slide into overly simplistic narrative "capitalism bad" or "CEOs bad". Having worked in several big corporations I can say that things are never black or white and usually there are multiple reasons for everything. I personally believe it is like the veteran Xbox employee said, but of course it is much easier to just get emotional and blame Phil...
I don't think anyone likes losing games to exclusivity, but it's honestly what brought me over to PlayStation (also I was just not a fan of the XboxOne UI and we already had Xbox systems prior but I digress). As much as I didn't want to lose some of my favorite games on PlayStation, I was excited to see the potential rebound from Xbox. I'm sad to see it's not panning out, but hopefully they can get into a healthier state and pivot from there.
I don't think Sony will ever do day 1 releases for PS Plus. That's the main issue with gamepass. Game sales makes more money vs a subscription. Microsoft is basically running Xbox with a loss. But since they have deep pockets, they can afford to do so. So its kinda strange when they closed 4 studios.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP Yeah Imagine they put COD on gamepass day 1 lol they're gonna lose like a LOT of money doing that. I highly doubt they'll do it though.
@@DeadPhoenix86DPyeah you have a good point. I believe even with small games like Stray, they did lose a significan amount of money. The problem Microsoft has now is that with how big they are in value now, shareholders are expecting a LOT in revenues, reason why they are cutting edges everywhere now
I feel bad for Xbox’s state today is like the console is just a mere accessory and their main product for gaming are their live services. I’ve always been the type of gamer who buys both Xbox and Playstation whenever they release a new console but sad to say in years to come Xbox will have a similar decision what Sega did years ago.
Nintendo doesn't see layoffs because their games don't have huge 200 million dollar budgets and their games very rarely go on sale and if they do it's nothing close to the price drops that we see out of PlayStation. Plus seeing Nintendo make more cartoony games makes it so they can bring out more games. Also helped that they ported over a lot of Wii U games.
Xbox (talking to journalists): "Oh yeah, we're gonna be raising the price of Game Pass and we'll be releasing more of our exclusives games onto PS5 and-" Phil Spencer (whispering) "Shut Up, SHHHH, what are you doing?" Xbox "Do you mind? I'm talking to the press!! So anyway, yeah, we're gonna experiment with 9V batteries in our new controllers and we may even try to bring back the Kinect- " Phil Spencer "SHHHHHH!! SHHHHHH!!!! SHHHHHHUT UP!!!"

I think that's a weird way to think about subscription services. I don't need a game to be forever on the service, just long enough for me to get around playing it. I seriously don't need every single game I've ever played to be available to me all the time, everytime until the end of time. And for those games that I DO want to play more or less indefinetely -> I can still actually buy them. But the way you phrase it, you make it sound like digital is always a subscription. Like, you know that Steam, GoG etc. exist in the PC space, where nobody is having this discussion anymore? That's not a subscription. I don't have a good reason to buy the physical version of a game, if I never intend to give it away anyway. Might as well buy the digital "license" for a game like Gran Turismo and not have to switch discs everytime I feel like having a quick race. All that said, I have a bunch of PS5 exclusives physical (God of War, Forbidden West, Spider-Man 2, Ratached & Clank etc.) simply because physical is often cheaper and because I can just lend these games to friends. But these are single player experiences, so when I play these games, the disc is my PS5 for those couples of weeks. And those people saying "what if sony goes under and the servers shut down?" or "what if world war 3 breaks out and there is no internet?". People have this weird expectation that in 20 years their favourite game of NOW will still be their favourite game by then. I certainly don't really care to play many games from 20 years ago again (I've been playing video games since the early 90s) and even if I wanted to, current hardware wouldn't really support it and I'd have get some modern/modded version anyway (some remaster, or just downloading them via bit torrent.). Like I haven't had a single instance of "dangit, I can't play this ancient game anymore!" because it's all available somewhere for really cheap or for free, if you know where to look.
It's the same with movies and music. Yeah, streaming is convenient. But let's say you want to watch an old Tarantino movie and... oh no, they don't have the license for it right now.
@@chicherichThe thing is, the way we access movies now is still infinitely better than it was before Netflix and friends arrived, even after the market split up and subscriptions feeling more like TV again (one seems barely enough and ads are back...). Also you can still just do both. People tend to be a bit too absolutistic about this stuff. Like, I have a gamepass subscription, but I also buy games on Steam and I have a bunch of physically bought PS5 games. And if you just know that you REALLY like tarantino movies... you can still buy them on blueray. Like you could in the past. You just don't have to buy every. single. movie. anymore. And you don't have to drag your ass to the local blockbuster either and pay extra for not returning on time later. Also people act like you have to have 3+ subscriptions to be able to watch everything and I'm like "Subscribe for a month, immediately terminate the contract, enjoy the subscription for a month. then decide again for next month which service I want to use next." And lastly, while it may not be legal... just having a living room PC and VPN for me is the way to go. I've been downloading movies and games on BitTorrent for about 20 years now and never had any legal trouble. So whenever I can't find something or they have the wrong version of the movie... I just put on my pirate hat and go get my parrot.
not only that, we arent getting exclusive titles day 1 and thats fine for me learned to deal with it but now apparently 1st party games will come out on pc before even being included in our subscriptions on PS consoles, dick move for their users if that end up being the case
As far as I can tell the PS5 version of Hi Fi Rush was developed in house by Tango themselves. They just completed the work on the port of the award winning game and got a swift kick in the ass from the other side of the planet. F*** both MS and xbox.
The day Xbox started to claim that console sales numbers are not important to them was the day it became clear they were on their way out of this business. I mean, how can a company sell product "XY" and then say "we don't really care how product 'XY' sells".... that doesn't make any sense whatsoever from a business point of view, especially considering how expensive the hardware business is.
They stopped listing console sales because at the time they saw they were selling half as many PS5s and now 1/3 the sales of PS5 so they say its not important. They say GamePass is the only thing thats important which selling a service to PC players or is more profitable to a company since they wouldn't have to make, ship, and sell a console just sell a service.
It never did make sense and I don't understand the xbox fans that bought into the "console sales don't matter" narrative when gamepass is so important to them. Every xbox series console sold is a potential new gamepass subscriber. Like if I bought a series x the first thing I'd do is subscribe to gamepass. With console sales being so low you get less subscribers. Subscribers on pc gamepass dried up a long time ago so they need the console to carry but they've completely neglected their own hardware. You can't just keep depending on pc. Why Phil still has a job is beyond me lol
The closure of Tango Gameworks is such a huge slap to the face of the entire gaming industry, devs and players alike. If only we could just reach in and completely flush out the executive leadership of Xbox and replace it with competent people that aren't driven by greed.
@@ContrastCopy Capcom has some comically greedy execs too. one of them publicly stated he wanted game prices to be even higher. and don't forget the company peddles heavily in microtransactions too.
They would have to... just financially it doesn't work A game released 10 years ago vs a game that just released will have the same value on gamepass. Forget about initial release sales spike most games get when they're new. It doesn't exist if all games are together in a subscription
I supposed that its going to be similar to PS5 cause if it is too different, some people can called PS6, so like already happened with PS4 and PS4 pro.
Bethesda was a MASSIVE, unheard of acquisition at the time. Then Xbox showed zero interest in cultivating all those new Bethesda studios, by Spencer's own admission giving them very little oversight. Instead of actually managing their teams and positioning them for "success" by MS's vague metrics, Xbox chose to do only thing they're really good at - spend even more obscene amounts of money yet again on acquisitions. This leadership team has absolutely no skill in cultivating talent and creating art, and no interest in learning how to, so don't be surprised in the coming months when they close more talented studios because they don't feel like managing them. You want an actually effective cost-cutting measure? Fire Phil Spencer and Matt Booty. All this "leadership" team ever does is spend money and spin news stories.
But Phil Spencer is so great as playing the victim, pretending to be the nice guy who cares about everyone and building a toxic parasocial relationship with the fanboys. Dude missed his calling as a cult leader.
The problem arose when Phil made all future Zenimax games Xbox exclusives. You can't spend $7 billion on a publisher and then eliminate a large portion of their market. Phil's miscalculation was that people like me still didn't buy an Xbox. We simply played the many games coming to PlayStation.
@toastyburger Then you have the person like me who actually DID buy an Xbox, but it wasn't because of that. It was just to play the Xbox games I missed out on as a kid. Come to find out the OG selection is incredibly limited (I can't play Jet Set Radio), as is the 360 selection, and there's certain games I still can't get because they are delisted (50 Cent's Blood on the Sand), and on top of that, any game that comes out on Series X, I'd rather play it on PS5. The games I WOULD get have some stupid online crap. Forza is online only, and Halo Infinite's campaign can't be played without a download.
Dreams should have been given the resources to be multiplayer, launch on PC within a year of PS4 launch, then receive a PS5 update Sackboy should have been the mascot of it And creators should have been allowed to sell their creations This could have been a Roblox or Steam Workshop style rival This is a massive missed opportunity for Sony at a time that would have mattered
And it will sadly die an abandoned product and no one will re-create it again. We do have Core, Roblox and such on PC but it just isn't as good as Dreams.
WOW... 36 TFLOPS (presumably full precision) put this ahead of an RTX 4070 and right around the RX 7800. For a console, this is WILDLY powerful and surprisingly close to the retail cutting edge. Assuming other specs are fitting, this should easily be capable of 4K60Hz with upscaling/generation and 4K120Hz rasterized...
If only PS5 supported keyboard and mouse (since fps games suck with a controller) I would probably consider upgrading to this rather than building a new PC.
@@RAHULRRJ Yeah, I know. I should have worded my comment better. PS5 does support M&KB, but not enough developers include it in the PS5 version of their games. You'd think it would be easy since all those games also release on PC with M&KB.
Sony locking down Little Big Planet was huge, it was one of the successful games that started the PS3 resurgence, which in hindsight that success, that climb, hasnt stopped since then for playstation.
Microsoft is killing Xbox piece by piece. Why not shut them down, and let them become a third party publisher. More money, and they don't have to deal with Xbox anymore.
Cuz then it’d invalidate all the money they put into gamepass. Or at least most of it since Xbox is the majority of members. If anything, they’d want to kill it slowly, so that they can keep people on gamepass as long as possible, while slowly killing the service.
I dont see how people are surprised by the xbox situation. 🤔. Orienting the xbox brand towards game rentals slowly diluted the brand. Bringing it day 1 to pc made xbox essentially irrelevant. People largely don't buy games they get on a rental service, so the typical initial launch spike in game sales that most games typically get as a new release doesn't happen. Brining it day 1 to pc damages it in 2 ways. First, people no longer feel a need to buy an xbox. Rather most people who used to have now ditched it. Second, less overall console sales means less first party and more importantly, less third-party sales. Third, launching on pc stores subjects game sales to the 30% steam platform tax that Microsoft loses out on. Buying Activision was sealing the deal on something like this to happen. A purchase like that REQUIRES a return which wouldn't be possible with the current gamepass strategy. I dont know why so many people seem confused. Sony are going in that direction which won't work out well
Some basic math of selling exclusives on pc. Let's take helldivers for an example to demonstrate the losses. $70 pc vs console for 8 million sales on each platform Pc - $392 million (30% platform tax) Total $392 million Ps5 - $560 million - Plus Ps+ revenue $640 million (even more profitable if you count extra or premium) Total $1.2 billion
If it was a true rental service, they would be doing fine. If you rent something, it is for a specific price for a specific time, like Blockbuster or some Amazon movies. For example, every player who was interested in Hi-Fi Rush had to pay $3.99 and they could play it for a week. Hi-Fi Rush might have made some money in that case. Instead, you pay what $15/month and get to play as many games as you want for any amount of time within the month, with the understanding that the subscriber will probably keep paying for months on end. I don’t disagree with your overall thought, but calling Game Pass a rental service isn’t really accurate. A rental model might actually be better for Day 1 games in a revenue/profit sense.
@dradis1 i don't think consumers would react well to partial charges for new releases and still monthly subscription. It'll be either one or the other. People have gotten used to the catalogue and day 1 releases. If they tried to charge extra for new releases as a per title. Most people won't because they don't even own them so it'll be bad pr and won't help at all with financing it
Yea i was on the side of gamepass hurting game sales since ur playing it on the service than buying the game. Theyre also considering raising the price for game pass if call of duty comes to the service.
I just hope people outside of here don't go down the Microsoft failures are equivalent to Sony and Nintendo or everyone is the same again because that's what kept enabling Xbox leadership to keep making all these insane mistakes.... And we were right look spending 80 billion dollars even for Microsoft isn't peanuts ! Sony and Nintendo are operating creative and commerce simultaneously and much more responsibly spending even when there are mistakes and closures they have never put their divisions for gaming in the hole for 80 billion.... I honestly can't believe it's Satya nadella allowed all of those acquisitions to go forward because ultimately to approve such massive spending well over the market cap of Xbox division he would have to approve it, huge mistake from ceo of Microsoft, bill gates did way better at the time of launch of Xbox 😢
Imagine spending 69 BILLION DOLLARS on a game company only to shut down one of their studios because of wanting to 'scale back'. This combined with the fact that Microsoft's revenue has increased to 3 TRILLION DOLLARS, yet they cannot afford to maintain the studios (SPECIFICALLY Tango Gameworks), and be comfortable with these studios making the games they want? Miss me with the BS!!
I'm worried for Ninja Theory. Even if Microsoft released Hellblade 2 on PS5 as well, is no guarantee Ninja Theory is safe considered what happen to Tango. Gosh man they should just stay independant. The first Hellblade give them a good reputation, especially after dealing with negative reaction on DmC game. If they still independant, Hellblade 2 is guarantee success and they might as well can grow more as a studio. But now, their fate is in the hand of Microsoft...
I don't care about that game (hated the first one) but based on what I've heard, Xbox is giving it pretty much zero marketing. Compare that to Stellar Blade, a game from a studio not even owned by Sony. They got one hell of a marketing push by Sony and now it is selling like crazy.
I have been critical of Xbox’s acquisition of ABK not because I’m a Sony Stan, but because just buying games and expecting that to fix your issues is not good business practice. BGS, ABK, etc. all have major issues with how they go about making games and those flaws are going to bleed into Xbox. They also are now $70 billion in debt and have to make money RIGHT NOW to pay it off
Xbox died when they started releasing on PC same day. Now when they are going to release titles on PS5 as well, Xbox is truly dead to me and I will never buy one of their consoles. Luckily I own a gaming rig and a PS5 now.
I was saying ps5 pro will match 4080 (at same cpu systems) and people laughed. What did people expect 5 pro to be ? 2020 rdna 1 and 2 mixed 1st gen rt ps5 would give 100 fps and rdna 4 rt 3rd gen 2024 model would give only 120 fps? (20 pct) lol. It will have triple performance. Witcher 3 rt 4k native will run 60fps on 5 pro. While base model does 1400 1800p at 30fps with RT.. Watch and learn. Sony aint playing. Ps6 will not arrive in 2027.. and i expect new AAA wont be releasing to Series S or will be only there for 1080p 30zh gaming.
What we all have to understand is that most, 99%, of the games that come out today are all gpu bound not cpu bound. CPU is mostly for ai and physics right? Take a look at breath of the wild, that game has the craziest most amazing physics and that was done on the switch, a 7 yo weak CPU. Cerny knows what he’s doing let’s not worry about no “CPU heavy games”.
Computer science masters here, no 😂. Cerny does indeed know what he is doing tho, hence the stuff to offload timings and matrix pools in the pro schematics
@@gerboog so how are breath of the wild physics so advanced? lol. The switch is actually a complete bottleneck if we take that the gpu AND cpu are not advanced at all at this point..
@@juniorcorporan3399 its all up to developers and their optimization. half life 2 launched in 2004 and it still has some of the best physics of all time
@@juniorcorporan3399 The games physics are advanced (though not really as they aren't doing anything that hasn't been around since like 2008 - 2012) because they allowed the game and it's sequel to drop to the teens in FPS, not because the system can handle it because it very clearly can't. Also any game on Unreal Engine 5 is going to be CPU bound to some degree, if not entirely in some cases as that engine is massively CPU heavy, a lot of games are using that engine now and all of them have FPS issues on consoles and even PC to a certain extent. Anyone who says games aren't CPU bound nowadays have no idea what they're talking about.
I totally agree with your take on Microsoft's take on the studios they bought and what they are doing with Xbox. Without healthy competition, Sony can make things worse for their customers. Nintendo does have their own games and is in a different mindset compared to Playstation or Xbox. Maybe we need a new contender in the hardware console space. I really hope that Microsoft won't kill Xbox as a console. I also hope Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo stop buying third party studios, but I guess the CEOs of those studios cannot say no to more money.
Xbox is a joke. Nothing has changed and nothing will change. They’ll be 3rd party in 5 years. New hardware will be met with all time low sales numbers. Quote me.
All this power and no games! How about a 60fps standard. How about less remasters and more original games (unless you want to redo Bloodborne :) Then I'll take a remake or a remaster!
There should not be consoles like PS5 and Series X games that are capped at 30-40 fps. I believe the consoles have the ability to reach a stable 60 once the Pro comes out
Not me 😂 I hate having to buy another PS5 for a bit more power. Power they could’ve just released with from the get go. If it’s not at least 30+% better I won’t even bother. I have a pc too so I’m not trippin over a slight power on console. PS5 OG was already hard asf to obtain 😂
@JoeyBK_86 if you play on PC you'd know asking for a ps5 pro at the beginning of the ps5 lifecycle is like asking you to play on a 6080 instead of a 4080
Even if they were equal in console sales and market share the situation with Xbox would still be much worse than that of Playstation simply for the fact that Xbox is not the largest revenue generator for Microsoft the way that Playstation is for Sony and so they don't have the same leverage over the corporate overlords. Add in to that the fact that they are actually in fact trailing behind in console sales and market share drastically without the infrastructure in place to make the kind of blockbuster games that Playstation makes and have cut off the potential for game sales that they did have at the knees with Gamepass and it is looking very dire over there indeed.
Man Dreams not going to PC and not getting a PS5 is a huge blow, whoever made that decision in Sony management made a big, big mistake. The sales velocity probably looks bad, but that game on PC with an internet browser on the same system is what would have really carried the platform forward, including cross publishing the eventual PS5 version, and even using KB/M and virtual reality on PC platform as well.......... huge, huge mistake for PlayStation management here unfortunately
Question for Hardcore PlayStation players. I’m trying to add an existing account to my PS3 but the console seems bugged. Is “create a new account” and doing the scan the only way to enter a PSN account?
Most of Xbox's current issues have been obvious for years. I am far from a business expert, but I knew depending almost 100% on Game Pass was a bad idea. I knew that Microsoft HQ was going to get more hands-on (aka expecting significant revenue growth) after they handed Xbox over $70B for their various acquisitions in the last few years. It was pretty depressing to see all those fanboys think get manipulated into thinking Game Pass (where you own nothing) was a good idea and that it was financially viable for massive budget AAA game development. Then those same people thought Microsoft would just open up the bank vault to Xbox without a bunch of strings attached. Once again, I am not a business expert, but all these things should have been obvious.

I’ve always been the type of gamer who buys both Xbox and Playstation whenever they release a new console but sad to say in years to come Xbox will have a similar decision what Sega did years ago.
If they release hellblade 2 on PS5 I'll buy it 👍 has to be physical release for me tho ...
So long as Sony doesn’t team up with Nvidia, the PS5 will never live up to its promises or expectations set by them.
Ps plus games are not going to be forever, so why care if they are expired anyways.
If you are a collector you do not care about PS Plus
Physical Games are better in that you don't lose Access to those Games
Nintendo doesn't see layoffs because their games don't have huge 200 million dollar budgets and their games very rarely go on sale and if they do it's nothing close to the price drops that we see out of PlayStation. Plus seeing Nintendo make more cartoony games makes it so they can bring out more games. Also helped that they ported over a lot of Wii U games.
We need a proper showcase and not another state of play
Xbox (talking to journalists):
"Oh yeah, we're gonna be raising the price of Game Pass and we'll be releasing more of our exclusives games onto PS5 and-"
Phil Spencer (whispering) "Shut Up, SHHHH, what are you doing?"
Xbox "Do you mind? I'm talking to the press!! So anyway, yeah, we're gonna experiment with 9V batteries in our new controllers and we may even try to bring back the Kinect- "

Owning physical games is always the best choice. These gaming subscription services are mediocre when all they do is keep on taking away the games.
Untrue. They keep on adding the games as well.
I think that's a weird way to think about subscription services. I don't need a game to be forever on the service, just long enough for me to get around playing it.
I seriously don't need every single game I've ever played to be available to me all the time, everytime until the end of time. And for those games that I DO want to play more or less indefinetely -> I can still actually buy them. But the way you phrase it, you make it sound like digital is always a subscription. Like, you know that Steam, GoG etc. exist in the PC space, where nobody is having this discussion anymore? That's not a subscription.
I don't have a good reason to buy the physical version of a game, if I never intend to give it away anyway. Might as well buy the digital "license" for a game like Gran Turismo and not have to switch discs everytime I feel like having a quick race.
All that said, I have a bunch of PS5 exclusives physical (God of War, Forbidden West, Spider-Man 2, Ratached & Clank etc.) simply because physical is often cheaper and because I can just lend these games to friends. But these are single player experiences, so when I play these games, the disc is my PS5 for those couples of weeks.
And those people saying "what if sony goes under and the servers shut down?" or "what if world war 3 breaks out and there is no internet?". People have this weird expectation that in 20 years their favourite game of NOW will still be their favourite game by then. I certainly don't really care to play many games from 20 years ago again (I've been playing video games since the early 90s) and even if I wanted to, current hardware wouldn't really support it and I'd have get some modern/modded version anyway (some remaster, or just downloading them via bit torrent.). Like I haven't had a single instance of "dangit, I can't play this ancient game anymore!" because it's all available somewhere for really cheap or for free, if you know where to look.
It's the same with movies and music. Yeah, streaming is convenient. But let's say you want to watch an old Tarantino movie and... oh no, they don't have the license for it right now.
@@chicherichThe thing is, the way we access movies now is still infinitely better than it was before Netflix and friends arrived, even after the market split up and subscriptions feeling more like TV again (one seems barely enough and ads are back...).
Also you can still just do both. People tend to be a bit too absolutistic about this stuff. Like, I have a gamepass subscription, but I also buy games on Steam and I have a bunch of physically bought PS5 games.
And if you just know that you REALLY like tarantino movies... you can still buy them on blueray. Like you could in the past. You just don't have to buy every. single. movie. anymore. And you don't have to drag your ass to the local blockbuster either and pay extra for not returning on time later.
Also people act like you have to have 3+ subscriptions to be able to watch everything and I'm like "Subscribe for a month, immediately terminate the contract, enjoy the subscription for a month. then decide again for next month which service I want to use next."
And lastly, while it may not be legal... just having a living room PC and VPN for me is the way to go. I've been downloading movies and games on BitTorrent for about 20 years now and never had any legal trouble. So whenever I can't find something or they have the wrong version of the movie... I just put on my pirate hat and go get my parrot.
not only that, we arent getting exclusive titles day 1 and thats fine for me learned to deal with it but now apparently 1st party games will come out on pc before even being included in our subscriptions on PS consoles, dick move for their users if that end up being the case
As far as I can tell the PS5 version of Hi Fi Rush was developed in house by Tango themselves. They just completed the work on the port of the award winning game and got a swift kick in the ass from the other side of the planet. F*** both MS and xbox.
Hi-Fi had better ahadows on PS5. That's probably what did it.
The day Xbox started to claim that console sales numbers are not important to them was the day it became clear they were on their way out of this business. I mean, how can a company sell product "XY" and then say "we don't really care how product 'XY' sells".... that doesn't make any sense whatsoever from a business point of view, especially considering how expensive the hardware business is.
Yep. R.I.P. LBOX
They stopped listing console sales because at the time they saw they were selling half as many PS5s and now 1/3 the sales of PS5 so they say its not important. They say GamePass is the only thing thats important which selling a service to PC players or is more profitable to a company since they wouldn't have to make, ship, and sell a console just sell a service.
It never did make sense and I don't understand the xbox fans that bought into the "console sales don't matter" narrative when gamepass is so important to them. Every xbox series console sold is a potential new gamepass subscriber. Like if I bought a series x the first thing I'd do is subscribe to gamepass.
With console sales being so low you get less subscribers. Subscribers on pc gamepass dried up a long time ago so they need the console to carry but they've completely neglected their own hardware. You can't just keep depending on pc. Why Phil still has a job is beyond me lol

Whole bunch of damage control, Xbox is literally a joke of a gaming company 😭😭

@@MrFruitBazook PlayStation is everywhere in Europe; Xbox is just a naughty word. 😆
They would have to... just financially it doesn't work
A game released 10 years ago vs a game that just released will have the same value on gamepass. Forget about initial release sales spike most games get when they're new. It doesn't exist if all games are together in a subscription
I really want to see design of PS5 PRO 😁
I supposed that its going to be similar to PS5 cause if it is too different, some people can called PS6, so like already happened with PS4 and PS4 pro.

Hopefully they put the disc drive in the middle.
Bethesda was a MASSIVE, unheard of acquisition at the time. Then Xbox showed zero interest in cultivating all those new Bethesda studios, by Spencer's own admission giving them very little oversight. Instead of actually managing their teams and positioning them for "success" by MS's vague metrics, Xbox chose to do only thing they're really good at - spend even more obscene amounts of money yet again on acquisitions. This leadership team has absolutely no skill in cultivating talent and creating art, and no interest in learning how to, so don't be surprised in the coming months when they close more talented studios because they don't feel like managing them.
You want an actually effective cost-cutting measure? Fire Phil Spencer and Matt Booty. All this "leadership" team ever does is spend money and spin news stories.
But Phil Spencer is so great as playing the victim, pretending to be the nice guy who cares about everyone and building a toxic parasocial relationship with the fanboys. Dude missed his calling as a cult leader.
The problem arose when Phil made all future Zenimax games Xbox exclusives. You can't spend $7 billion on a publisher and then eliminate a large portion of their market. Phil's miscalculation was that people like me still didn't buy an Xbox. We simply played the many games coming to PlayStation.
@toastyburger Then you have the person like me who actually DID buy an Xbox, but it wasn't because of that. It was just to play the Xbox games I missed out on as a kid.
Come to find out the OG selection is incredibly limited (I can't play Jet Set Radio), as is the 360 selection, and there's certain games I still can't get because they are delisted (50 Cent's Blood on the Sand), and on top of that, any game that comes out on Series X, I'd rather play it on PS5. The games I WOULD get have some stupid online crap. Forza is online only, and Halo Infinite's campaign can't be played without a download.
Phil Spencer shouldn't be cut any slack for these studio closures. Acquiring Activision was entirely his own idea.
Dreams should have been given the resources to be multiplayer, launch on PC within a year of PS4 launch, then receive a PS5 update
Sackboy should have been the mascot of it
And creators should have been allowed to sell their creations
This could have been a Roblox or Steam Workshop style rival
This is a massive missed opportunity for Sony at a time that would have mattered
And it will sadly die an abandoned product and no one will re-create it again. We do have Core, Roblox and such on PC but it just isn't as good as Dreams.
Can't agree more. Couldve been a huge money maker from them.
With all the drama in Gaming news I forget about PS5 Pro.

WOW... 36 TFLOPS (presumably full precision) put this ahead of an RTX 4070 and right around the RX 7800. For a console, this is WILDLY powerful and surprisingly close to the retail cutting edge. Assuming other specs are fitting, this should easily be capable of 4K60Hz with upscaling/generation and 4K120Hz rasterized...
If only PS5 supported keyboard and mouse (since fps games suck with a controller) I would probably consider upgrading to this rather than building a new PC.
@@fattiger6957some games do support MNK
@@RAHULRRJ Yeah, I know. I should have worded my comment better. PS5 does support M&KB, but not enough developers include it in the PS5 version of their games. You'd think it would be easy since all those games also release on PC with M&KB.
@@fattiger6957 yeah i also wish all fps games got mnk support and all online games too
36 tflops is for dual issue.
Sony locking down Little Big Planet was huge, it was one of the successful games that started the PS3 resurgence, which in hindsight that success, that climb, hasnt stopped since then for playstation.
Microsoft is killing Xbox piece by piece. Why not shut them down, and let them become a third party publisher. More money, and they don't have to deal with Xbox anymore.
Killing? It’s been dead, in fact. 😂
Cuz that's what makes it good.
How is eliminating competition for Playstation a "good thing"? Wouldn't we want Xbox to do better to keep Playstation on their toes?
Cuz then it’d invalidate all the money they put into gamepass. Or at least most of it since Xbox is the majority of members. If anything, they’d want to kill it slowly, so that they can keep people on gamepass as long as possible, while slowly killing the service.
@@MatthewMoreau Xbox good? Lol
I dont see how people are surprised by the xbox situation. 🤔. Orienting the xbox brand towards game rentals slowly diluted the brand.
Bringing it day 1 to pc made xbox essentially irrelevant.
People largely don't buy games they get on a rental service, so the typical initial launch spike in game sales that most games typically get as a new release doesn't happen.
Brining it day 1 to pc damages it in 2 ways. First, people no longer feel a need to buy an xbox. Rather most people who used to have now ditched it. Second, less overall console sales means less first party and more importantly, less third-party sales. Third, launching on pc stores subjects game sales to the 30% steam platform tax that Microsoft loses out on.
Buying Activision was sealing the deal on something like this to happen. A purchase like that REQUIRES a return which wouldn't be possible with the current gamepass strategy.
I dont know why so many people seem confused.
Sony are going in that direction which won't work out well
Some basic math of selling exclusives on pc.
Let's take helldivers for an example to demonstrate the losses.
$70 pc vs console for 8 million sales on each platform
Pc
- $392 million (30% platform tax)
Total $392 million
Ps5
- $560 million
- Plus Ps+ revenue $640 million (even more profitable if you count extra or premium)
Total $1.2 billion
If it was a true rental service, they would be doing fine. If you rent something, it is for a specific price for a specific time, like Blockbuster or some Amazon movies.
For example, every player who was interested in Hi-Fi Rush had to pay $3.99 and they could play it for a week. Hi-Fi Rush might have made some money in that case.
Instead, you pay what $15/month and get to play as many games as you want for any amount of time within the month, with the understanding that the subscriber will probably keep paying for months on end.
I don’t disagree with your overall thought, but calling Game Pass a rental service isn’t really accurate. A rental model might actually be better for Day 1 games in a revenue/profit sense.
@dradis1 i don't think consumers would react well to partial charges for new releases and still monthly subscription.
It'll be either one or the other. People have gotten used to the catalogue and day 1 releases.
If they tried to charge extra for new releases as a per title. Most people won't because they don't even own them so it'll be bad pr and won't help at all with financing it
Yea i was on the side of gamepass hurting game sales since ur playing it on the service than buying the game. Theyre also considering raising the price for game pass if call of duty comes to the service.
Even with all my gripes about Jim Ryan, he is miles better than Sarah Bond and Don Mattrick
I just hope people outside of here don't go down the Microsoft failures are equivalent to Sony and Nintendo or everyone is the same again because that's what kept enabling Xbox leadership to keep making all these insane mistakes.... And we were right look spending 80 billion dollars even for Microsoft isn't peanuts ! Sony and Nintendo are operating creative and commerce simultaneously and much more responsibly spending even when there are mistakes and closures they have never put their divisions for gaming in the hole for 80 billion.... I honestly can't believe it's Satya nadella allowed all of those acquisitions to go forward because ultimately to approve such massive spending well over the market cap of Xbox division he would have to approve it, huge mistake from ceo of Microsoft, bill gates did way better at the time of launch of Xbox 😢
Microsoft/Xbox has now become the Oceangate of gaming. Their entire company is as flimsy as that Titan submersible
I expect to see the new resident evil game announced at the playstation event. maybe even a tease for the new borderlands 😉
Imagine spending 69 BILLION DOLLARS on a game company only to shut down one of their studios because of wanting to 'scale back'. This combined with the fact that Microsoft's revenue has increased to 3 TRILLION DOLLARS, yet they cannot afford to maintain the studios (SPECIFICALLY Tango Gameworks), and be comfortable with these studios making the games they want? Miss me with the BS!!
It's like self sabotage.
I really do miss the og and early 360 Era of xbox
I'm worried for Ninja Theory. Even if Microsoft released Hellblade 2 on PS5 as well, is no guarantee Ninja Theory is safe considered what happen to Tango. Gosh man they should just stay independant. The first Hellblade give them a good reputation, especially after dealing with negative reaction on DmC game. If they still independant, Hellblade 2 is guarantee success and they might as well can grow more as a studio. But now, their fate is in the hand of Microsoft...
Ninja theory sucks, though.
I don't care about that game (hated the first one) but based on what I've heard, Xbox is giving it pretty much zero marketing.
Compare that to Stellar Blade, a game from a studio not even owned by Sony. They got one hell of a marketing push by Sony and now it is selling like crazy.

I have been critical of Xbox’s acquisition of ABK not because I’m a Sony Stan, but because just buying games and expecting that to fix your issues is not good business practice. BGS, ABK, etc. all have major issues with how they go about making games and those flaws are going to bleed into Xbox. They also are now $70 billion in debt and have to make money RIGHT NOW to pay it off
Xbox died when they started releasing on PC same day. Now when they are going to release titles on PS5 as well, Xbox is truly dead to me and I will never buy one of their consoles. Luckily I own a gaming rig and a PS5 now.
If Hellblade 2 is coming to PS5, then I no longer have a reason to buy a Series X. And honestly, that's pretty disappointing.
I was saying ps5 pro will match 4080 (at same cpu systems) and people laughed. What did people expect 5 pro to be ? 2020 rdna 1 and 2 mixed 1st gen rt ps5 would give 100 fps and rdna 4 rt 3rd gen 2024 model would give only 120 fps? (20 pct) lol.
It will have triple performance.
Witcher 3 rt 4k native will run 60fps on 5 pro. While base model does 1400 1800p at 30fps with RT..

What we all have to understand is that most, 99%, of the games that come out today are all gpu bound not cpu bound.
CPU is mostly for ai and physics right? Take a look at breath of the wild, that game has the craziest most amazing physics and that was done on the switch, a 7 yo weak CPU. Cerny knows what he’s doing let’s not worry about no “CPU heavy games”.
Wrong, it's the other way around. Generally, CPUs are the bottleneck as GPU power has advanced far ahead nowadays.
Computer science masters here, no 😂. Cerny does indeed know what he is doing tho, hence the stuff to offload timings and matrix pools in the pro schematics
@@gerboog so how are breath of the wild physics so advanced? lol. The switch is actually a complete bottleneck if we take that the gpu AND cpu are not advanced at all at this point..
@@juniorcorporan3399 its all up to developers and their optimization. half life 2 launched in 2004 and it still has some of the best physics of all time
@@juniorcorporan3399 The games physics are advanced (though not really as they aren't doing anything that hasn't been around since like 2008 - 2012) because they allowed the game and it's sequel to drop to the teens in FPS, not because the system can handle it because it very clearly can't.
Also any game on Unreal Engine 5 is going to be CPU bound to some degree, if not entirely in some cases as that engine is massively CPU heavy, a lot of games are using that engine now and all of them have FPS issues on consoles and even PC to a certain extent.
Anyone who says games aren't CPU bound nowadays have no idea what they're talking about.
I totally agree with your take on Microsoft's take on the studios they bought and what they are doing with Xbox. Without healthy competition, Sony can make things worse for their customers. Nintendo does have their own games and is in a different mindset compared to Playstation or Xbox. Maybe we need a new contender in the hardware console space. I really hope that Microsoft won't kill Xbox as a console.
I also hope Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo stop buying third party studios, but I guess the CEOs of those studios cannot say no to more money.
Xbox is a joke. Nothing has changed and nothing will change. They’ll be 3rd party in 5 years. New hardware will be met with all time low sales numbers. Quote me.

Even if they were equal in console sales and market share the situation with Xbox would still be much worse than that of Playstation simply for the fact that Xbox is not the largest revenue generator for Microsoft the way that Playstation is for Sony and so they don't have the same leverage over the corporate overlords. Add in to that the fact that they are actually in fact trailing behind in console sales and market share drastically without the infrastructure in place to make the kind of blockbuster games that Playstation makes and have cut off the potential for game sales that they did have at the knees with Gamepass and it is looking very dire over there indeed.

90% Loser Party here in the comments, crazy sad.
Most of Xbox's current issues have been obvious for years. I am far from a business expert, but I knew depending almost 100% on Game Pass was a bad idea. I knew that Microsoft HQ was going to get more hands-on (aka expecting significant revenue growth) after they handed Xbox over $70B for their various acquisitions in the last few years.
It was pretty depressing to see all those fanboys think get manipulated into thinking Game Pass (where you own nothing) was a good idea and that it was financially viable for massive budget AAA game development. Then those same people thought Microsoft would just open up the bank vault to Xbox without a bunch of strings attached.
Once again, I am not a business expert, but all these things should have been obvious.
Tango game works was MS only Japanese developer.
Funny how customers have no say when owning nothing. This has obviously been the entire point imo.
