the issue here is there’s nothing wrong with Sony’s PS5 console! They are focused on gaming, they made a good product.Nah, just someone who disagrees with future goal of 22m consoles per year.
I am just surprised how out of touch these companies are. First it was Microsoft going hard for, on a gaming console. Now Its Sony turn to make gaming expensive, when were already in a pandemic, and have a hard time, not lose our jobs.
Which is interesting because usually sales continue to go up after the first year.
Don't look at numbers, look at buying power. When games jumped to $60 on the PS3/360 it had more buying power than $70 today, it actually had as much buying power as $80. You were paying more back then. In fact you had more buying power with $60 than $70 today all the way till 2012 where it equaled $70.35.
The difference is ea games hit ea play after 6 months. Ubisoft get very cheap.
Yes I live in the land of dreams. Worked my ass for a associate degree from a community College, and I couldn't get a job using that degree in my state. I was lucky, the company I applied as a warehouse worker had IT department. They are training me on IT stuff right now. If I wasn't lucky with that, I would still be working in a warehouse job. And only way I will get accepted for cyber security job is to have a bachelor degree. I am working on it now. Only issue is, I would be in $36k debt, due to loans.
If you work for someone you will always be at risk of losing your job.
They don't NEED gamepass to achieve anything! Even without gamepass the PS5 is outselling the series s/x and will continue to do so even when Microsoft get their 1st party games on there. Playstation is a massive brand and unless they completely botch the PS5 (which so far they haven't) they cannot possibly lose this generation. Besides, Microsoft don't really care so long as they have gamepass subscribers on everything they can put it on...
Hey, I get it, things suck due to covid. I had family that lost their business. Buying power aside(as mentioned above), why do you think anyone in your situation could afford $60 or even $40 video games? If I was worried about my job(and I was in my previous one) I would not be thinking about anything but necessities.
I’m not defending the prize, here it went from 50 euros to 70 euros!
All they care is their profit. We are nothing more than expandable income to them. Sadly people here don't realize it, and praise them for raising the price.
i need a medium to distract me from this shit. Before it was my gatcha game. Now its game pass xbox, And few money saved from game pass, which allowed me to buy PlayStation games. Life is tough. without some distraction, you will turn to a crazy person, or just off yourself.
No there won't be. I don't know what that guy was smoking but there's no way Sony can come even close to that number
The market now is on early adopters. People with income disposable. My little brother saved 700$ from his warehouse job for his ps5. He only pays water rent, since me and my father pay for other utilities. That is how he got his ps5. Other people dont have that luxury. Companies will keep representing these big spenders as a success for their business.
Gz on the IT job, and gz on paying those loans.
I lack the certification part. I have been trying to take the ccna exam, but it kept getting delayed. I paid 300$ for it in 2020 November.
People have no problem paying $70 for a game. A huge amount of people out there have been paying $90-$100+ for the Gold Edition for games for years and years now. It's not as big a deal as you people in your internet bubbles think it is.
Its not buying power. People got financial better. people who were kids on ps1 were adults on ps3. same thing for ps4, and xbox. This generation is different. Those people who were comfortable buying those consoles, are now struggling about keeping their jobs. They cant recklessly spend their reserve money to buy these consoles.
i do wait for sales. I cant stomach paying 60$ for a game, so i just wait for whatever sales they have. that way, i can get 3 to 5 games at that price. Just got GT 2015 and watchdog 2 ultimate edition for 23$. its first payment for a game i did for this month. Last month, I went out of my 60$ budget monthly for gaming, to 150$. Sony was doing their sales for their 1st party games, so i snagged some of them. That month was no outside food payment for me. budget was just too much.
PS5 is the fastest selling console.
We have alot of gamers now, compared to ps4. that is to be expected for both consoles. The real challenge is after these 2 years. What will happen when the hardcore fans get their console. How will general people act? I am on of these people, who arent ready to spend that much money for the new consoles in the first year.
It's not really relevant to a PS5 thread.
Yep let's pretend people weren't bringing up Xbox earlier in the thread.
This forum is full of Sony fanboys. It’s just what they do. Fanboys are stupid because like you say why would anyone care about a corporation? I mean unless these people are shareholders or employees it doesn’t make sense. Imagine going on the internet and defending major corporations, it’s quite pathetic.
Unlike the post from
nightmare-slain
, a real reason is when a product(in the gaming world) you enjoy is successful, it means more games to enjoy. Unsuccessful products don't get as many games.
I mean Xbox fans do this too, it's not limited to Sony fans. Xbox fans I understand a little bit more because they are celebrating things that actually affect the customer. But when folks say, for example, "GAMEPASS has 23million subscribers", that fact alone only signifies that the company is doing well. I suppose it could signify that Gamepass is here to stay to some extent.
Of course there is nothing wrong with following the news but getting into arguments online to defend the honour of Sony (or any other multi billion $ corporation) is sad and pathetic.
Jigsaah
is correct. It is very much like a sporting event. People can be fanatical. Just human nature.
