Playstation Tablet 1,729 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Market leader isn't even bothering to release a spin off with no disc for either a test or a future investment. Remember back at the start when people said this would be the last physical disc gen? Watch the same streaming is "teh future" stumble. We are winning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,087 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just now, Alphonse said: for movie streaming yeah. Netflix was already king while amazon was a far second place and it's still that way. There's been dozens of streaming services to come out since then, hell Disney is about to launch theirs. That's an incorrect take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) next gen: 150M PS5s sold 20-40 XWhatevers (Which will have no exclusives again + just become a budget, identity-less games platform) with Switch steady at 100M +, PS5 sales are going to massive now that MS folded. A lot of Xbox One owners not making the mistake of backing MS again + traditional console customers being funnelled onto PS5 as the only option. Next gen = bloodbath. Bookmark this.

Lol why not, they just shat out an all digital 6-year old console revision at $250. Phil the Huckster and his team of con-men have wanted all-digital since 2013. They keep pushing it no matter how bad gamers and the market reject it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The SAD has an ulterior motive beyond just selling, it's a market test, educational run, and a view of the viability of the trade in program and it's reception. It's a very evil device and they aren't even hiding it. Plus they flatout admitted it in the reveal that ain't no on buying this shit full price. Even they know it. They basically said wait for bargain bin prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,729 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Sony doesn't even seem to try a digital only box, even under the pretense of "options". And it's not because they are stupid. MS's strategy of "options" is just a smoke screen of pushing an agenda softly, in the end there will be no options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not because they are stupid. MS's strategy of "options" is just a smoke screen of pushing an agenda softly, in the end there will be no options. It's not some agenda, physical everything is phasing out, it's just happening. There's no slowing it down, there's no dictating its direction, acceptance or lack thereof. Microsoft is field testing a product for those that have already transitioned or want to. GameStop just posted like a $675 million dollar loss, they'll be gone in a few years if not sooner. Microsoft or Sony are not going to abandon the physical medium though, they'll still offer it but be prepared that sometime over the course of next-gen that AAA games are going to release digital only. As soon as one publisher pulls the trigger another will, and another after that, and after that and so on and so forth until its in the same state PC is. It's going away and not by force, it's going away out of necessity and the natural progression of its irrelevance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,729 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Here is what Phil Spencer's skinny fat as is thinking as to why he wants a digital next gena me is willing to bite the bullet. 1. More profit from game sales directly from the store. 2. You aren't part of the XCloud ecosystem if you buy discs. I'd you buy digit they can sell you on paying for Xcloud. So it's further service growth in what's their future main game platform. 3. Undercut Sony pricewise, but this probably the last thing he cares about because hardware sales in their new vision are an afterthought. Might even think going discless could result in more hardware sales, even if doesn't they don't care. Only MS is doing this shit, while the other two aren't even considering it. No need to spin every MS.agenda into the "inevitable" future . No one is buying into their bullshit. Edited April 22, 2019 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
