PS4 Pro is still 400 dollars, but sold at 3000 in Brazil, same taxes of PS5 digital.

The reason Latin America prices are so fucked is that people accept the bullshit. People from the US or Europe here complain about the most miniscule price increases and companies fear overcharging them.

No, you are very wrong. Is not stores and companies increasing prices just for the sake of it. The devaluation of the currency in Argentina made $1 usd = $75,65 pesos, and on top of that we have a fucking 70% tax, and on top of that we have a $200 monthly restriction to buy dollars (is forbidden to buy right now). It's a fucking mess. Yesterday i went to a game store to talk about getting a PS5 and the owner was so sad and upset from all this shit hes gonna try to move to other country.

 

[SSfox]

PS5 will destroy Xbox in games and sales for the first 24 months.
But what will happen in 2023 when Sony has two games coming out that year and MS has five or six?

We have yet to see what kind of games will come and level of quality. Promises is something, truly deliver is another thing.

 

[Mr Moose]

Bethesda, used to have great games, they still have some good games. Yet Sony goes for another approach.

Ghost of Tsushima, new IP.

Horizon, new IP.

Days Gone, new IP.

Above that, rebooting existing titles like GOTY winner, God of War.

I've just platinumed Ghost of Tsushima about 15 minutes ago

Argentina is a wonderful country, hope things get better. Stay strong, brother.

Mine is scheduled for Nov 20th. I chose to pick it up at the nearest Americanas.

You are Lucky then.

I chose to deliver at home. Im not sure i would feel secure getting a PS5 at a store where I am currently living (Fortaleza).

People were freaking out about the price in Brazil but you guys got it way worse.
Thankfully we dodged the left government bullet this time around.

Stay strong man! Hopefully it will improve soon.

what a song. It probably does not help

 

[ksdixon]

oh god no.
I'd be opposed on a philosophical level. I still can't believe we lost Sega in place of the dreck that MS has delivered us since then. MS buying SEGA would be like salting the earth of the grave you've been pissing on for the past 19 years.

Better come to terms...

 

[SSfox]

Not surprised but thought it was worth sharing, didn't NX Gamer say something similar yesterday?

Well, with this info we can forgive the game not looking ultra impressive like some others next gen games

Also Female Eivor looks pretty badass in this Artwork (unlike ingame lol)

The thing is Xbox buy studios than combined are more capable than basically all its studios combined in that moment.

To see how easy they were to get.

I will say this though, that console looks smashing like that, much better than the blue and white in my view.

When Japanese people use their arms to make a big X across their chest, that’s the gesture for wrong, or not allowed. The Japanese word for this gesture is “dame” (だめ), which means “no” or “not allowed”. If you’re answering a question and the answer is wrong, this gesture can be used as well, along with the word “batsu” (ばつ), which means “incorrect” or “false”. There’s also an emoji of a woman doing this gesture on iPhone!

It has like 15K likes, that's why it made me think.

I'm sure it's coming at some point, the question is "when"

Apparently they don't like videogames at Goldman & Sachs.

 

[chilichote]

Here's a scenario I'd love that will not happen:
I'd love for Elder Scrolls 6, and possibly Starfield be available purchase only on Playstation 5. Microsoft makes money. These games available for purchase or through Gamepass on XSX. That way, The game is available everywhere, and MS gets their money.
I think that's smart business. I can think of so many reasons, and even comments that Spencer has said which would be an argument for this. It will not happen regardless.

However, one must not forget that such a large investment must be justified in front of investors and that Microsoft should capitalize on it as soon as possible in order not to annoy investors.

I think this is bigger than the "console wars", this is about the future of gaming and Microsoft as a major player and market leader - and it works the fastest when you include all platforms. Presumably Microsoft will do without the XBox as hardware and only rely on gamepass/streaming and that everywhere where players can be found. And the hardcore crowd is also sitting in front of the PS5.

 

[PSX]

the best explanation i saw. lol

maybe the message on other way around No xbox? Sony only? we never know! anything could happen now.

 

[chilichote]

On Amazon DE (Germany), Series S is still avalaible.

I think for the first time in 19 years of the MS-SEGA rumors, I'm bracing myself for the possiblity of it being halfway true. I really, really, hope it's not though. TGS following so closely behind Bethesda-gate, Xbox going first at TGS, and HFX stating the news isn't over, yeah... I'm cautious to say the least.

 

[VargasPaPuM]

  not here

 

[TwistedSyn]

Ouch. So if you want to charge 2 controllers you need to fork out more money.

 

[Moses85]

Yes and deserved because it is no real next Gen box.

 

[Metroiddarks]

Ouch. So if you want to charge 2 controllers you need to fork out more money.

5 min later:

"Xbox bought Avalanche studio"

 

[Moses85]

Look what Microsoft did with Rare..

what will happen to Bethesda?

I think this hinted big news is the end of XBL Gold

 

[CrysisFreak]

Ouch. So if you want to charge 2 controllers you need to fork out more money.

I don't know what MS is thinking basically asking for just as much money for their controller while offering less features.
Then again the joycons exist. They fucking exist. Mangoes. Fuck me they suck.

 

[Ptarmiganx2]

Well, more quality always implies higher cost, either in the same time or in less. In any case, it will be the user who will have to decide if that game is worth "that price".

And when you're trying to fill Gamepass it won't be. Bethesda fits Microsoft's future plans. We are not going to get ultra high quality Sony style games on a subscription service. That's why I'm hoping consumers continue to support Sony's way of doing things. If we go to an all subscription model, I will likely lose interest in gaming.

Seriously, you don't need a battery pack.

Relax brother. We're safe.

I believe MS came out and said they had no plans to end Gold?

I wonder if HeisenbergFX4 would be so kind, if he's able-to, to sooth my fears, and let us know if the "more MS news" is related to an further aqquisition or not, lol.

 

[chilichote]

Look what Microsoft did with Rare..

They become part of the gamepass machinery. Anyone who seriously believes that everything will stay the same will have a rude awakening.

 

[TwistedSyn]

I don't know what MS is thinking basically asking for just as much money for their controller while offering less features.
Then again the joycons exist. They fucking exist. Mangoes. Fuck me they suck.

I can't believe people defend those Joycons. They are probably some of the most cheap feeling controllers I have ever used in my life. I always thought Nintendo was about quality, guess I was wrong.
Just glad that the Pro controller exists.

 

[FranXico]

Ouch. So if you want to charge 2 controllers you need to fork out more money.

Some people get it. But at the end if the day, it is what it is. Consoles are about margins on games and price gouging accessories.

He isnt a native speaker and he also said it was satirical. Chill.

[thebigmanjosh]

Except there's no confirmation it will work yet. Just be patient on the storage. Shit will get cheap once all the manufacturers start flooding the channel.

Seems like this drive only bursts at that speed unless I’m reading it wrong?

I don't know if it was them or the Windows Central people who said that. The fact that Grubb keeps bringing it up makes me think there's fire to the smoke. And if MS are entering the business of throwing 7.5 billion on a single acquisition then perhaps they are willing to throw out a big chunk of revenue for the publicity

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Quantum Error is coming to Xbox Series X

They tried to reach Sony, but got neglected. It's fair for them, and they didn't say it's an exclusive.
