PS5 and Xbox Series speculation launch thread |OT9| - For flops sake!

You can't say that for certain. They could gain even more control of the console market because most ppl switch to PS since they can use PS5 to play Xbox games as well. That could lead to increased sales. Also, we don't know how MS/Sony get their platform fee in subscription-based services. Either way, you and I can't be certain about the outcome. There is too much missing information.
It is just as risky for MS to do that as it is for Sony. Gamepass benefits from ties to Xbox Live. It wouldn't have that on a Sony system. I think MS would jump to Nintendo before Sony since it is less risky for MS.
Maybe gampass but only with Xbox exclusives? Both ms and Sony could agree on this approach. That way Sony isnt losing third party sales and ms is adding to their subscription service.
I drank my coffee and I do agree its very far fetched :P
Sure, but the maxim 'evolve to survive / thrive' also applies to those ahead. But honestly, as long as the performance delta isn't very much, I think they could be fine releasing a less powerful system than say the XSX. On the other hand, I think they could release two SKUs like MS is suggesting and compete on that front as well. Options aren't only open to MS. On the other hand, I think it is pretty darn unlikely Sony will go for two models. On the other hand, they could probably compete on power if they tied it with different financing models. Component costs should only take a couple of years to come down. anyway, I think it is up at he air at the moment.
We can for certain say Gamepass will never be on PS, PS and Xbox share the same games 99% of the times.
MS have no juggernaut games that would draw 40 new million users that otherwise wouldn't buy a PS.
It would also mean them, taking a loss on hardware and their 30% in game sales so that you could go on to pay MS and not them, a recurring service fee.
that seems very unlikely to me.

Nice goal post move
Didn't Onlive have one?
Although if there is nobody to share with, does it count?
It is all about balance tip it one way and it hurts MS too much. Tip it the other and it hurts Sony too much. I don't think it would happen but there are plenty of scenarios out there where it makes sense for Sony. It depends on Sony's policies around subs and how they want to make money off of them. Subs are a thing already. I doubt Gamepass would be as prominent on PS5 as on Xbox.
Onlive had a two button record/share feature but not a single share button as far as i know.
The new Playstation would cost less and last you 7+ years.
Huh? Seems like a reasonable question. Are you going to answer?
Onlive and several other oc controller have a share buttons it's a great goal post move though
Well, clearly I said "MS copied Sony? Where's the pitchforks we see for each time Sony copy MS/Ninty?"
So I didn't move the goalposts at all.
But I am curious anyway, where did the share button exist in 2010?
But what if my plan was to buy a PC anyway? This gen i played with my PC , PS4 and later the Switch.
By publishing PS games on PC i won't have any reasons to buy the next playstation. I would be able to play online games without any sub as well.
In fact i won't pre order PS5 now that is for sure.
onlive is a box you plugged into your TV and came with a wireless controller that you used to play games on it. Sounds like a console. Wasn't a popular one, but it was one
Why ask the question if you've already made up your mind? 🤷♂️
To see if someone would come up with interesting ideas and reasons? Also i didn't want to start a "negative" discussion. At the of the day i will probably spend less money so...
Still interesting to see how things will pan out in the future.
Let us be real, Sony is what made MS add a share button and not something that doesn't exist anymore.
I never used it. I see there's a Brag Clip button. Was there a way to share that outside of OnLive? Obviously Sony was inspired by it and expanded upon it seeing that they bought their patents. There could be a distinct difference there, but if not then I suppose it has been around since OnLive in some form or fashion.
Edit: Looks like you could upload this to Facebook.
How could this be answered in a meaningful way if we:
1) don't know the features/specs/price of the ps5
2) don't know their strategy regarding future PC releases?
I don't know everything about everything, even searching online share button yields no results lol
They won't. Jim Ryan said very clearly in a recent interview, that big First Party games will release exclusively to Playstation.
Somehow people conveniently forget about that.
Apologies if this was posted already, but a patent was found for the Dualshock 5 being able to use voice commands like Alexa/Siri: https://patentscope.wipo.int/search...20013038&tab=FULLTEXT&_cid=P12-K5GLUR-31883-1
Exactly that's obvious lol why does everything have to be a fight
This reminds that I had to buy the Xbox One controller chatpad from US to be able to have those two additional programmable buttons that I could confer image capture functionality to. As someone who takes myriad pictures, Xbox's approach annoyed the hell out of me and am glad they are going to have a dedicated button. Now, I just hope they improve how they handle buffer -> write process for XseX as well provide more capture options. 4K HDR screenshotting on X is a bit of pet peeve.
It would be awesome if we got something like an aidplay. Where we can let any random player take control(from your uploaded save) for certain sections or challenges of the game. Obviously that play session would be saved on a alternate save file, in which case you can convert it to your main file if you're satisfied with the results.
But that will never happen, and I can see achievements/trophies hunters making a big stinker out of it.
But seriously, do you think they'd at least give us $250? lol

But they are clearly testing something if they are gonna release Horizon Zero Dawn on PC.
Every console has fanpeople that say things about the other consoles often hypocritically, what's the point of getting all "persecution complex" about it?
Yes, they are clearly testing to release a first party game on PC over 3 years after it's release.
Sony's communication about not doing simultaneous releases of their console selling games is quite clear.
250 USD might be possible. It depends where you're from, of course. Here in Germany the X was sold for 299 over the holidays and I just saw a fire sale of old Xbox One X bundles for 227€ today. I can't imagine getting more than 150€ as a trade-in bonus towards a PS5 or Xbox Series X.
Playstation copied xbox with ps+, Microsoft copied sony with games with gold, Sony introduced PS now and Microsoft is copying with Xcloud, Microsoft introduced gamepass and Sony copied with game downloading through PS now...both companies are just competing while trying to move the industry forward with good/bad initiatives depending on your point of view. The share button is the latest example of the companies being competitive while offering the end user a better experience.
