@fraserg why no article on Sony outselling xbox in its main market yet again, its important to highlight

well this makes up for showing nothing at tga.

oh and ps5 outselling a discounted serisX/S in the US in November

@NEStalgia MS has what 20+ studios? that should mean regular releases.

ninty already have Zelda announced bound to be more pokemon, so a steady stream of releases and will still be a big year

hmmm

consoles do well over Black Friday. price increase for those adopters of xbox who wanted cheaper than ps.

AAA games actually due for release... ms suddenly cant hold off increases.

spend 70b on ABK... Price Increase

MS fanboys thats fine Phil, how deep you want my tongue?

Sony raise prices.... evil blahblah.

both company deserve criticism.

it will go through with concessions. just as any major merger has to make.

again for all the fanboys, CoD is smallfry in this deal. MS will happily make concessions.

the $$ is all in king.

a merger this size always has concessions.

CoD will be it.

MS doesnt care about this compromise.

its all about KING which dwarfs CoD.

@Moonglow Xbox has basically released nothing. the minute a few good games are due, they suddenly have to put up prices. convenient no?

or cynically increase prices right after Black Friday console sales?

so yeah they deserve it as much

@Titntin the help was around motion capture, audio cinematics.... all the good bits.

but around here it seems Sony are just evil, doesnt seem to have as good a mix of opinions as pushsquare

@Cikajovazmaj Sony probably

lol at the ridiculous Sony stuff, they helped with things like mo'cap

@BrilliantBill because this is a brand new IP that isnt really new. its a copy of a game thats getting a remake. with nothing that stands out.

if it was a DS4 sequel type then it wouldnt have deductions probably

@Angelus3K smyths amazon very currys all had the deal, 2 of those only online, coupled with financial issues for many, id wager you was right.

@J_Mo_Money nothing to do with the increase. the 18% Sony sold will be pretty much their stock.

xbox dropped 70/20 thats their increase for a week. they need to do outside US when a console isnt less than 50% than a PS.

pretty poor tbh especially for such a great price. no other console offered that value.

effectively finished 2nd in a one horse race.

starting to sound like CDPR. all these promises with nothing to show.

@Fenbops but that is exactly what they have to do, it is their job to do that.

MS are happy to 'share' cod. but neither company look good in any of this.

@Fenbops large market changing mergers generally come with compromises. CoD is actually a small part for MS.

this deal is largely about king. thats where the $$ is

@raftos ouch, not outselling switch even with massive savings

its staying on PS.

not enough would go out and buy xbox (makes a loss) to cover not having on PS.

people arent exactly rushing out to buy Xbox's in readyness.

tbh MS knew they would make concessions around the deal, sure they happy focus is on king

@Dezzy70 yet PS is constantly selling all the stock it can make. its not a restock issue. its a manufacturing one.

MS cant sell out even on sale and with people unable to get a PS.

like i said the S at 180 is great value but MS still cant shift loads. they were available everywhere.

imagine MS issues if the PS was constantly available, whenever it is it smashes MS figures, and switch.

@dezzy70 i think you are massively over doing the flying off shelves bs.

even with 70 off it was easy to get hold of everywhere. yet still people struggle to ge a ps5.

i picked an S up, because honestly it was too cheap not to.
