I think it depended. Some were free, some were free with digital purchase, some were free for pre-orders and a small fee if not, etc.
There are actually a lot more 3rd party games on PC not coming to console, considering there is no curation on PC.
There are ps3-ps4 cross buy games, not many (only 67 and digital only) but they do exist, all are small games like Journey, Hotline Miami 2

These days, especially looking at Japanese games, the Xbox is the platform that's ignored for whatever reason, not so much the PC which tends to get everything including it's own third party games. Interesting how things have changed, and one of the main reasons why I will likely opt for a PC upgrade instead.

I was thinking the same thing. That means devs are on full final on both sides.
What I've seen from Microsoft this gen that I haven't seen from them at the start of any gen since Xbox OG is a complete focus on games and making the game experience as good for the gamer as possible. None of the features here involve tv, movies, peripherals, apps, etc. it is all focused on how it benefits us playing games. That is wild to me.
Am I understanding the back compat part right, back compat games will automatically run at a higher resolution???
I guess it just depends what you're into. I don't believe that EA sports games release on PC. Those are basically the games that appear in the NPD's every month of every year, and they are only playable on consoles. MLB the Show we've heard is going multiplatform, but I don't believe Sony has specifically said it would come to PC. I know there are a LOT of PC only games too, but you look at even the biggest selling game of 2018 (Red Dead 2) didn't come to PC until 2019. So I'm just saying, if you don't care about the console exclusive games and have the money to do so, build a comparable PC to XBOX SX, or if you do care more about the PC exclusive games, obviously then go with PC. But if you care about playing Sports games, or maybe the next Rockstar game day one, or just want the simplicity and price point of a console, then maybe XBOX or PS5 will be the answer.
asia, they want to sell to korea and china which are more pc focused.
Well based on the rumors that have pretty much been confirmed to be legit, the PS5 is going to be almost identical spec wise. Some things slightly higher on XSX some slightly higher on PS5 but not much.
Not that I am aware based purely off of HW architecture. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility given 12TF implies serious wattage for the console and perhaps RDNA2 may help with that. However, efficiency gains from supporting forward looking features like VRS (depending on Tier) is also likely.
Unless AMD outlines efficiency gains for their next line of (Big) Navi cards, that are RDNA 2 as well, we can only speculate.
However, IIRC, a few Speculation OTs ago, a graph was presented that highlighted efficiency gains for 7nm node (not N7+) from maturation of fab process that ironed out bugs. And afaik, it was something in the ball park of 5% extra performance for pre-existing wattage. So, there are a few factors that may go into making RDNA 2 more efficient that RDNA (esp. first gen).
The Madden and FIFA games are on PC now, and Bloomberg reported PC as a platform for MLB. But yes late ports are annoying, but rare and not an issue if you like PC genres where consoles have the late ports, or considering it's better than not getting ports at all i.e Xbox games not being on PlayStation, the rumored PC ports of PlayStation games not being on Xbox etc.

I'm tempted to stop playing any demanding PS/XB games at this point and wait for the new machines just to get the best experience. I've got plenty of games on PC and Switch to keep me busy until they come out.
Huh. Even did my due diligence and googled it. Anyway, I guess that shows my interest level in those games overall.
Cant wait to see what Playground games, Turn 10, 343i and Ninja theory can do with this hardware. Really exciting knowing all this before they start showing off the games.
the average consumer/gamer will probably buy the Series S (Lockhart)
This explanation doesn't hold water when people had to pay money to 'upgrade' their copy of FiFA 14 from PS3 to PS4, despite the existence of a native PS4 FIFA 14 game.
not a single one of those rumors have been 'confirmed to be legit'.
MS will feel like they're making a lot of right moves but pricing will be very important. This gen is becoming a lot of fun, hard to tell how things will shake out.
So, an update:
According to AMD, RDNA 2 is supposed to be based off of the next gen N7+ (

the Digital Foundry Direct mentioned that Playground Games is using Machine Learned Supersampling via Direct ML. I think it's safe to say Microsoft will push it for all their first party titles.
"4K"/Ray Traced/60fps Forza 8/Gears 6/Fable 4/Halo Infinite anyone?

well, Sony hasn't mentioned TFs or shown actual gameplay on ps5 lol...so this is good at least?
[edit: Oh was this a meme? lol, I didn't know]

Day one up to $599.
I don't expect $599, but this thing is going to run my 500+ game library out of the box. I see zero reason not to upgrade.
Now I have to decide if I'm giving my Xbox 1X to my daughters, or if I'm trading it in 🤔

I am really interested to see if their new BC focus will use ML in some form, as a way to push older games even further.
Shiza, Ich thought that the "P" meant Plus. Konnen sie mir helfen und inform my incorrect ass? I'd rather not be misleading others.
they'd be stupid not to. this way, they can also make the games "8K" and fulfill that promise
If 9.2 TF PS5 is true I wouldn't be shocked if PS5 has more RAM since XSX only has 16 GB. It'd be interesting to see how multiplats would differ with one having more RAM and one having a more powerful GPU.
