Okay now we just saying shit.
HINT: gaming has ALWAYS BEEN an expensive hobby.
I wanted to play Fatal Fury BAD at home, but until I could afford the $700 back then for a NG Silver, I was popping quarters into my local arcade.
This isn’t a “today” thing- it’s always been this.
Morally I will always be anti-exclusive, I think it's anti-consumer and I don't like the idea of games being locked behind a plastic box, especially in this economic climate where it's more likely than not that people only own 1 console.
I wish people could play whatever games they wanted on whatever box they own.
However, I do understand from a business perspective why they are needed which is why I am so conflicted internally over it.
After having a full day to think about GTA 6 being 30 fps on PS5 PRO. I have decided not to believe it forever, hear me out
I think personally, Rockstar will make a 40 fps patch to the PRO.
It will be a surprise, I will believe this until it happens. No one can stop me!
PS5 sales top 100 million units officially making it Sony's 4th 100 million selling home console & the 8th best selling system of all time.
However, it should pass up the Wii & PS1 soon to be the 6th best selling system of all time right under the PS4's 117 million Via Gematsu
@fuqnakftweets I’m on about where the market is- 140M+ on Nintendo Switch.
That’s the market leader.
LOL at your triple post because nobody’s engaging in your strawman arguments anymore.
@PlayerEssence@GeileGaard It was probably NPD I’m remembering, but I think their was a time where there was a split, but that was probably Wii U days🤷🏾♂️
@fuqnakftweets “IDGAF because it doesn’t directly affect me” is crazy work in a thread talking about the MARKET, and WHO is MARKET LEADER and WHY.
Your privilege is showing but it’s cool- the goalpost move was enough to prove you wrong here.
@fuqnakftweets And yet that same company KILLS STUDIOS the moment revenue comes in for a game, but it doesn’t line up with the BUDGET spent on making it happen.
If anyone needs to STFU, it’s the person literally ignoring what’s happening RIGHT NOW.
@PlayerEssence@GeileGaard Didn’t Nintendo use to count physical only on the IR pages some years ago? I think that’s where the confusion may stem from.
Otherwise they’ve been counting both for awhile
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time sells over 5.2 million units in it's first 4 days including over 810K in Japan.
Largest individual launch for any game released on the Nintendo Switch 2 so far. Via Nintendo
@fuqnakftweets Revenue means nothing if it’s swallowed up by DEBT.
Investors don’t care about revenue, they care about the BALANCE SHEET because they want DIVIDENDS.
Not sure where you studied how markets work, but you need to start over.
Because they actually know what project management is and how to avoid scope creep.
Because they are the OGs and not a technology company looking to profit on licensing of an OS or storage medium.
That.
So Zelda Ocarina of time remake was
- Made in 3 years
- With 200 people working on it
- Budget WAY under $100 million (estimated)
This game will easy sell over 10m before 2027.... Budget to profit ratio is absolutely insane!
No wonder Nintendo is imune to layoffs 😂
