@last_lap: how much of MS revenue is software and how much is hardware? Yes they have tablets and a console and maybe a few other things but that wasn’t the point. Their bread and butter is software. Sonys has always been somewhat quality hardware. Nintendo has always been a dedicated console. I’m not saying you’re wrong about Sony games coming to PC day 1, I just don’t see it happening right now. If it means increased funding, or just sustainable funding for big games, then I’m all for it. I’m still a console gamer first over PC(barely game at all anymore tbh).

@Pedro: It might be inevitable but it doesn’t make sense for them to do that right now. If I were to guess, I’d say it’d be based on PS6 sales numbers.

@last_lap: No, because they rely on hardware sales. MS is mostly a software company. If Sony and Nintendo start putting all their games on PC day 1, then yes, they should also but that isn’t going to happen except a few MP games like Helldivers.

The only time it’s unplayable is when there’s a 60+ option.

I don’t see why not. All it’s gonna make people do is either pay $70 or see the value in gamepass and go with an Xbox or PC. Seems like a win-win to me for everyone. If every game is going to PC day 1, it’s obvious MS isn’t concerned with hardware sales like the other 2 are.

I wish they would go back to a traditional console. Feels like I’ve been waiting forever for a proper Mario/zelda with somewhat current gen graphics.

@silentchief: That’s what I was thinking. Flawed logic. Imagine your GPU becoming obsolete every year because a better one comes out? That’s what this poster is basically saying.

As someone who owns PSVR 1(sold now) & 2, and meta quest 2&3, I prefer meta quest 3. Sony hasn’t released much for it but 3rd party has. Nearly every game on meta is also on PSVR 2. If PSVR 3 has OLED, eye tracking, pancake lenses, decent pass through for AR and wireless, I may get it.

33.5 is way higher than I thought. I’m assuming we can compare the 10 TF PS5 and 12 TF series X(and 4 TF S) to this number? I’d imagine a lot of series S owners may make the jump to PS5 Pro unless Xbox decides to make another console. The people complaining about this are probably the same people who drop more than this console costs on a GPU every other year. I drop $1000 on a new phone every 3 years with marginal improvements without hesitation so this doesn’t seem all that bad. But I probably won’t get this because I barely game anymore.

@robertos: Put a few dirty undies on top of your PC in it’s “ventilated case” and no worries about theft 😂
