Sony. We haven't forgotten
Between Square enix (specifically ff) going multiplat, no discs and the $1000 price tag, I think it’s safe to say I won’t be going with the PS6 next gen
14 layers of management LOL, no wonder nothing gets done
“Getting laid off, is an Xbox”
I think the Xbox situation could have been worse, they're allowing some studios to leave with their IP and others to go to new owners. Sony would have just shut them all down or forced them to work on some new live service slop.
I bought a bunch of physical games around X-Mas/Black Friday. The physical games were ALL cheaper than any sale on the Playstation store.
Keep the backlash up against Sony We ain’t stopping until they admit they made a mistake
Who would have thought that spending nearly 100 billion in acquisitions and dropping games with multi-hundred million dollar budgets on a subscription service was a bad idea?
Wow, I think it's the first time, in all the years I've been watching SpawnWave, that I've only seen 2 news titles!
It's incredibly pathetic how Sony strategy is to just hide and wait for us to forget. That's to show you they are scared of their audience.
Xbox had 14 layers of management they had to go through just to get anything done. Something needed to change.
No wonder xbox has barely any games, I'm amazed that literally anything made it through 14 layers of management
I wonder if the rumored Zelda-themed Switch 2 will have replaceable battery in Europe, it says Autumn...
Looking forward to that Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour replaceable batteries update 👍
You know the physical news is bad when literally any other week social media would be exploding with the Xbox news, and yet after nearly a week the heat is all on Sony
Helix shipping with a disk drive? how the turns have tabled
I would like to know what the digital/physical split is for new games. I buy many digital games when they are on sale years after release, but I always buy new releases physical.
150K signatures on a playstation petition sounds great but when you remember there are about 100 million consoles thats only .15% of playstation gamers. That is basically a rounding error for sony unfortunately.
Microsoft and Sony's death spiral continues...
Microsoft tryna slam dunk on Sony for disconnecting disc drive by announcing halo would have a physical copy, however its need the internet to download the rest of the game. They look so stupid doing that wth.
