    Third Party Software Exclusivity Practices

    Don't give them ideas, or the next open world games with brothels will have the second boob as a DLC.

    Third Party Software Exclusivity Practices

    It's a pretty wide range.... It can be as small as giving the studio some publicity without even having a cash transaction (some small indies exclusives did that, but I think it was always timed), and it can be as big as giving them hundreds of millions to take over the entire studio and...

    Rumors: Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass Restructuring? [2020-07] *spawn*

    A lot of people are stacking 3 years of gold whenever there's a big promotion. So the rumor is also lacking some logic to account for this.

    For the TV power and probably input selection, and it has volume control. There's an IR emitter, so probably supports both IR and HDMI CEC.

    SIE Results Q1 FY20 ($5.63B Revenue, $1.152B Profit, PS4: 112M, PSPlus:45M, 113M active PSN users )

    Ok I see it now. Maybe "break even if they buy 2 games and/or a PSPlus sub" like the PS4. The big increase they expect from software sales and PSPlus is softening the losses from hardware launch. And Q1 is already compensating some of it. Lets say we assume Q3/Q4 to be 12M PS5.... that's 600...

    With that FY2020 forecast, they are obviously not selling PS5 at a big loss. So... 499 and 449?

    Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

    For those upgrading from a PS4, the choice is either reselling their PS4 with the controller when they upgrade, or they keep it for another room and they still need the controller. What's the corner case here, those who bought too many controllers and don't want to resell them with their PS4...

    The Next Sony Event?

    It's from CD, so they will put hulk on xbox, and starfox on nintendo. And they will have 3 nice hats.

    The Next Sony Event?

    Sorry I was being sarcastic, whenever sony clearly contradicts a rumor, it's like the rumor still wins. The exclamation seems to be to emphasize to disregard the rumors. The actual text is very precise with what the State of Play will be about, so the tweet maybe looks a little strange in...

    How to sell next-gen consoles, Marketing, Positioning, and Pricing [2020]

    Quantity? I speak as a predominantly sony and nintendo gamer, some PC games on steam, and so much winUAE nostalgia that I still have the best of 1987 Karsten Obarski in my mp3 player. I think maybe MS should reconsider whether quantity is a plan that is working for them. They need a library of...

    That 120 to 200GB/s metric is for the optional BC7Prep post processing. Not kraken decompression.

    Bitstream processing that don't really need random access from ram over a large or unpredictable data window look like very good candidates for fixed functions blocks. Codecs, audio/video filters, decompression... They are also very well suited for a cell-like architecture if the flexibility of...

    Decompression uses zero teraflops. It's not fp math operations.
