How the fuck has it been seven years what is time and where did my life goOctober/November 2020 most likely. That'd be 7 years after the PS4! Damn it's been this long!?
Problem is, doing this they run the risk of losing the hardware performance advantage, which evidently they really don't want to lose.
😂
This is often overlooked by the 'I told you so/it was so obvious/it was never going to be anything but holiday 2020' crowd.I agree. They said ps4 would have had a shorter life cycle compared the ps3. Considered mid gen is still a ps4, they blatantly lied.
Not really.Spring 2020 was a possibility, but this generation's launch was so successful I'm not sure why you'd deviate except to fix things which went wrong last time around. Nov. 2020 was always the most logical step.
The "huge advantage" is overestimated. But i know ERA believes otherwise.This is often overlooked by the 'I told you so/it was so obvious/it was never going to be anything but holiday 2020' crowd.
During the transition for this generation many key figures, Kaz, the likes of Yves from Ubisoft were all saying the generation had gone on too long.
Not really.
The date isn't what made this generation a success for Sony. Their product and price next to the competition made it the success.
You could launch at any time of the year and still make it a success. You won't sell as many as you would with a holiday release - but that doesn't change it's successfulness. If you launch in say a May or something, the November and December months don't disappear. You'll still sell well during that period.
You also have to factor in the competition.
Let's say Sony could release early in the year - but they want to use your logic and just replicate this generation and wait to launch in November - but Microsoft launches early in the year.
You've just given away a huge advantage for no good reason.
Can anyone explain a point from this tweet
In the FY2019 Forecast it lists the following as a negative
"Decrease in contribution from highly-profitable first-party software titles"
I mean I know Spider-Man and GOW sold well in FY2018 but does this imply stuff like the TLoU2 and others wont be releasing in FY2019 or that they somehow think they'll preform worse in terms of sales coupled along with the already released Days Gone?

You are reading too much into this imo, all that it is saying is they expect less profits from first party, that doesn't necessarily mean all of them are not launching. I am pretty certain in thinking TLOU2 being released this yearPresumably it means that TLOU2 and Death Stranding are not happening between now and March.
So we should not expect any new infromation in the next 10-12 months
