  1. Actually they fished it to multiple publishers and all of them turned them down. Why? Because the first one didn't make any money and the second one looked more of the same. Alan Wake 2 is a dream that will never come true unless the publisher wants to lose money just to appease a very niche group of nerds, who didn't even know what Alan Wake was (Ponies) before Remedy got the IP back. :reg:

  2. MS continues to makes these head scratching moves. One day you have Phil telling us XBL is not a "free speech zone", even though the service has had a mute button since day one of its launch in 2002 and the next you have a guy from The Coalition telling us they removed smoking from Gears 5 for the children, LOL! :sabu: MS is going down a SJW rabbit hole that no one will follow, ie, hypocrisy X  woke = broke. The Scarlett better blow me away spec wise and I better see 5 console exclusive games at E3 2020 that shows off it's power before I buy anything XBOX next generation. Becoming a cuck for the world to see needs to have repercussions. 

  3. The Switch past the PS4 in sales just recently in Japan which is pretty shocking since it has only been out for 2 years.

     

    Any way, end of generation for the PS4 and X1. Both will close out holiday 2020 and I doubt either one will do amazing for the next year and a half. X1 will probably end up selling around 55 to 60 million by discontinue in 2022 or 2023 (X1X, X1S and X1SADE) and the PS4 will finish off with around 130 million with discontinue in 2024 or 2025 (PS4S and PS4Pro). Not a bad generation for either to be honest. XBOX division hit the green mark in terms of profitability a few years back and is now pulling in $2 to $3 billion of revenue a quarter for MS, while Sony was able to replace all their PS3 losses with the success of the PS4, including restructuring the company from going bankrupt. Even Nintendo bounced backed from the debacle known as the Wii U with a console/portable hybrid in the Switch that looks like it could be one of the top selling consoles of all time when it is all said and done.

  4. I believe this is more or less a deal to combat Amazon and Google when it comes to streaming devices like tablets, PCs, laptops, TVs, etc. No doubt Sony wants to go the MS route, but they don't have the infrastructure MS has when it comes to online gaming. Why not team up and get your product out there on multiple devices, make more money, etc. You still won't see Sony games on the XBOX or XBOX games on the Playstation. That isn't what this deal is about. MS is looking at this from a money making standpoint. Sony is looking at this from an expansion standpoint. Everyone wins. 

  5. I'm not a Raptor's fan, but I hope KL stays with the Raptors. It would keep a balance in the league in terms of east and west IMO, especially once KD goes to the Knicks. I doubt anyone is beating the Bucks this year though. They have everything you need to win a title, except for experience, but you have to start somewhere.
