ps4 72% sales, ps3 3% tough in 2015 ps4 sold 30 milion consoles and ps3 has 80 milion users
what ? we are talking about potential ps5 vs ps4 games sales in future
Yea. The end of 2022 is likely going to be in this direction. Most cross gen games will be done by around that timeline as well I think anyway.
the point is that you compromising nextgen version as some apsects of game have to be similar (especialy in gt7 if there is crossplay), reduce dev team time to optimise for one platform as now now they have to develop for 3 and in the end potential sales for previous generation will be possible few (or like in mgs5 20x) times lower
I wasn't sure how to respond to this for a while, I mean, in many ways you're right. You just want the best from your investments and your games, and I get this. My only rebuttal here, and it's not really a rebuttal, but I would say that just because a game goes next generation and locks out previous generation, doesn't automatically make the game better than a last generation game. It just guarantees to serve your newly bought hardware better.
What you describe as a mis-steps, are a different strategies by Sony and Nintendo - both companies with demonstrated high profitability. It's also a dumb thing to say when I think Flight Simulator is not yet on Xbox.
Next week is the rumour. But why make this claim now? It's just dumb.
Flight Simulator? I mean, I guess you can stretch that to discredit Microsoft's position, but that quote specifically mentions "Others bring console games to PC years later", Flight Simulator would be a PC game being brought to console later. It's certainly not a console game yet, so it would have to be a PC game being ported to console. Further from the quote, "charging them a second time to play on PC". That's sort of a big part of it, too. Sony first party exclusives released on PC are nearly full price releases, and come years later. Xbox is usually day and date, and first party stuff has pretty much all been crossbuy. I know there are Bethesda games that weren't (haven't checked if they updated them in the store), but those were games that were acquired after they were released. The only game I can think of that came out after it was a first party release is Minecraft, which has specific "For Xbox One" and "For Windows 10" versions. Also, Minecraft costs different amounts on every platform it's available on, so that's weird. But... I think technically Minecraft for Xbox One (and PS4) came out before Microsoft finalized the acquisition of Mojang but after it announced that it had reached an agreement to. I think it was just a few days apart, IIRC. So maybe that's not even a valid answer.Next week is the rumour. But why make this claim now? It's just dumb.
It's wrong, undermines credibility and calls your statements into question.
