Every. Single. Time.
Yup people always underestimate the power of PlayStation branding Xbox have been cheaper virtually all generation it's not just about pricing you need strong software and strong branding.
Every. Single. Time.
It's always about brand strength and the games. What's stopping the base xbox from outselling the competition when it's the the cheapest? lol
yep, its the reason why sony and nintendo is pretty much in a class of their own, and i see it still being the case, still doesnt mean MS wont eat. But we've had many different flavors of them doing stuff and it still boils down to the content and the overall experience. People will pay if something is valuable to them.Yup people always underestimate the power of PlayStation branding Xbox have been cheaper virtually all generation it's not just about pricing you need strong software and strong branding.
Yeah, I should have specified that I was talking about the Anglo-sphere, where the Xbox brand still has some decent mind share leftover from the 360 days. I'm just expecting MS to be a bit more competitive this gen, not that Sony is in trouble or anything.The reason the gen is so lopsided is because of PS4 regaining back market share from US/UK mostly. Xbox is not becoming significantly more popular in other countries that is heavily biased towards Sony/Nintendo because you can play FIFA/COD for $300. You can do that now.
The games that come out looking/playing different and that get people talking about next gen are IMO going to be the high-end machines. And I'm also dubious on just how big an improvement these first year and 2nd year games are going to be on S.
I mean you guys do realize animal crossing sold 20M units on machines less powerful than current gen. Switch ain't cheap, the controller ain't cheap, the games ain't cheap, it's not really b/c with anything and it's flying off the shelf.
software...
Yeah, that's part of the thing to consider as well. Especially with this gen being the first where a lot of people have large digital libraries going into the transition, I could still see people just sticking to the ecosystem that they already invested in, and their casual friends coming along.Doesn't that crowd mainly go where there friends are since majority of casual games are MP
I know you are jk but just want to chime in that retailers are not going to push XSS or PS5 DE come this holiday and the shipment for those will be way lower than the standard version. When Sony is ready to roll with 10 million PS5s during the launch period you know they are pretty confident with what they got.
Hey Angie, could I ask you to edit a fishing hat for my Hulk Rot if you have time at some point?
He looks so happy with his hat on, I can't cope.Hey Angie, could I ask you to edit a fishing hat for my Hulk Rot if you have time at some point?
This image is so pureHey Angie, could I ask you to edit a fishing hat for my Hulk Rot if you have time at some point?
There's nothing shocking about the price. A cheaper price was discussed by everyone for a long time now. Sony knows the XSS would be a cheaper console like everyone else did.
Yet that didn't change people's perception about next gen. PS having the mindshare and most importantly the games.
What has changed besides social chatter just because it's finally announced? Nothing.
People jump to conclusions every time MS announces something.
I bet even if the PS5 price leaked Sony would still be silent, it's just who they are.
I think retailers should make sure to have the product in store that people want.
I even think the PS5digital and the XSS will be produced in higher numbers then the counterparts, because those are the most affordable systems.
But i could be wrong on that, i'm kinda biased because im fully digital and everyone i know is fully digital.
Someone that is a huge Rot fan said he will help you outHey Angie, could I ask you to edit a fishing hat for my Hulk Rot if you have time at some point?
How about a 5$ console with 1GB and 100 GFLOPs
I think that the only outcome that wouldn't cause a pandemonium is 399/499, which is the safest bet right now imo.I wonder how people will react when Sony announce $349 and $449? Because it's happening
Yeah these little furballs will melt my heart when I finally get to play the game lol
Ah great! Thank you
IDK. While digital is on the rise I wonder how many people are solely digital. I buy mostly physical and dabble from time to time in digital purchasing. I can't ever go fully digital until they start matching the promotions and price drops physical games do.
Amazing creatureHey Angie, could I ask you to edit a fishing hat for my Hulk Rot if you have time at some point?
Oh really?I wonder how people will react when Sony announce $349 and $449? Because it's happening
As always. Are you suprised? ;)
Yeah these little furballs will melt my heart when I finally get to play the game lol
Ah great! Thank you
IMO it shows the real innovators of the industry. I will always give credit to MS for easing development and xbox live (Even though Dreamcast was the real pioneer here, but MS built upon that foundation and online is a integral party of the industry now) but it's like they took the "Xbox is weaker" criticism and just went full steam ahead making sure that never got uttered again. Good on the hardware team, but there's so much more to gaming than releasing powerful tech. Sitting down playing Halo with 3 other friends and the first time I saw Gears of War and played it are still the highlights of playing on an Xbox for me. That's decades now lol...The controller looks identical to current gen, no evidence of how 2TF of more GPU matters has been displayed, everything is about the SSD and faster loading which is where PS5 is better. Like, I couldn't be less interested in next-gen Xbox after Halo came out looking like pee-pee-poo-poo. They gotta bring the games. Not tell me next-gen is about value...I decide what value is. I'd give Nintendo $15 a month if I could download Zelda botw2 and Animal Crossing. But it's not like that on Xbox.yup the software and the experience on the console matters the most lol. hence just pushing hardware with no innovation other than power makes no sense, when you see the switch has tons of advances to someones experience, same will be true with sony updating the controller and improving the experience getting in and out of games. sure there are people price conscious etc, but for most people they look at more than just that.
The best gaming deal this generation was the $299 Xbox and yet it was easily outsold by the more expensive Xbox One and One X and the PS4 and Pro. If price is such a huge deal why did that console not outsell everything in sight?I think it's absolutely a threat to Sony, and something they're going to have to tackle somehow. There's definitely a large sector of gamers who play games like FIFA and Call of Duty and will just plump up for the best deal.
Sony's going to be more expensive now, that's simply a fact, so they're going to need to demonstrate effectively why they're demanding a premium price point. I think the controller has absolutely been a factor these past few months, and is a real tangible difference that they've focused on a lot.
Thank you so much, Zlug! :D You are doing a great job with this, it looks awesome. You even flipped the hat so that the sunlight matches!Surprise, it's me once again. Did I tell you I really love Rots?
Yep. Makes no sense. Launch for $499 and then drop the price a few months later in 2021? Nonsense.Soo, the logic here is, Sony doesnt need to price the ps5 lower that 499 because is going to sell, but they need to build a new console in 1 year instead of pricing the ps5 DE at 399.
Honestly, sometimes a question this peopel logic.
That would be a mic drop, for $50 more get the full next gen experience plus 1.5x the storage than XSSI wonder how people will react when Sony announce $349 and $449? Because it's happening
There's zero chance that the PS5 will cost more than $499.I really don't get the ''Sony have momentum and mindshare enough to get away with the 599'' argument, like, what the hell Sony had in 2006 then?
IF, for some reason, the PS5 is 599, I am for sure being hoping that they don't get away with it, I don't want Sony to become an ''Apple of videogames''.
MS definitely will have a better year 1 and 2, they pretty much fixed everything with the brand before the gen was even over and now have a fresh start with good marketing. I just don't think they innovated in the correct areas, and largely it'll be a repeat of this gen. They pretty much already won back the US/UK, it's just that PS4 is just as popular again, whereas X360 that wasn't the case.Yeah, I should have specified that I was talking about the Anglo-sphere, where the Xbox brand still has some decent mind share leftover from the 360 days. I'm just expecting MS to be a bit more competitive this gen, not that Sony is in trouble or anything.
Talking about the price, because the Xbox Series S got leaked and then officiall announced, including its price.
