If the had some killer exclusives each month sure, it would have to be

Spiderman nov, dark souls, December, ratchet January, and then like another title after that.

And even then alot of people would probably just cop a series s and play the Exclusives that they probably didn't play before plus the ton of 3rd party games

Nope, not with Microsoft at 499. Sony are going to lose market share regardless due to the Series S at 299, but 599 is actually just handing the ball to Microsoft. I think 499 is a lock for the regular PS5, the wildcard is how they price the digital edition.

Just sounds like Xbot nonsense. If the console is cheaper they'll say it's because it's weaker. If it's the same price theyll say Xbox is stronger and has more value and if it's more expensive they'll say why pay more for a console that's not as powerful as Xbox.

499 hopefully and let's go

They'll more than likely sell fine at 600 but even better for less. Either way they are running through this first batch when it releases more than likely :yeshrug:

I LOVE how the narrative has shifted to people will buy PS5 only for exclusives and everything else on Xbox. The bubble of being a forum user+stan.

Did third parties not sell the best the last three years on PS4 despite a more powerful Xbox existing? Was game pass not in existence already? EA Play?

You point this out and they pivot to "Man people just play on their ecosystem and where they friends at:francis:" argument. This line of reasoning is painfully invalid if applied to Playstation and PC to an extent.

But when not pointed out they think everyone is a subscriber to NXGamer and will be watching tech breakdowns to decide which platform they will get COD on :mjlol:

Again only one of those are for sure a launch title currently (that might change)

And the only that is is essentially a upgrade spin off standalone

If the had some killer exclusives each month sure, it would have to be

Spiderman nov, dark souls, December, ratchet January, and then like another title after that.

And even then alot of people would probably just cop a series s and play the Exclusives that they probably didn't play before plus the ton of 3rd party games


People here are so unrealistic they expect a new console to launch with 3 AAA exclusives off the bat. Lol

Not only is that ridiculous for the reason that isn’t a thing that has EVER happened, it wouldn’t even make sense to release all those games with major AAA third party games coming out in november (Valhalla, CoD, Cyberpunk etc)

Spiderman now, demon souls in Jan, ratchet and clank in feb

That’s a strong launch. Even at 600 dollars y’all acting like ps5’s gonna be sitting on shelves collecting dust lmao shyt is gonna be hard to get for awhile regardless of the price. The only thing that’s pandemic assures is product shortages not demand.

People are still spending money. They are spending even more money at home leisure activities. Game sales are up across the board.

Xbox is only making noise because the new one is cheap. These nikkaz gloated on power and how their hardware is superior only for the cheaper 1080/1440p machine to steal all the thunder, the series X doesn’t even exist anymore apparently.

Game pass been around, filled with games nobody plays anymore or care about. Nobody cared.

You could always finance an Xbox. Nobody cared.

It’s nothing new.


PS5 399-499 sets things right in order, and all this nonsense stops quickly. If Sony goes even lower then :mjlol:

Yup. Dummies only respond to headlines and forget what happened yesterday. Xbox All Access+game pass last year:
Purchase an Xbox One with Xbox All Access for No Upfront Cost; Special Upgrade Offer Available for a Limited Time - Xbox Wire

These guys thinking MSFT announced a brand new deal :mjlol: shyt already existed but what happened?
