But if it's not a significantly better living room experience, I'd probably just use my existing computer, especially since my current series x plays disks

Yeah I'm on a *Heavy* wait and see. The big thing that could convert me is if the living room experience is significantly better than something like PC with steam big picture. I'd essentially use this as just another PC, with the added bonus of it playing my old Xbox titles.

I've heard they aren't taking a loss on it this time so it might be pretty pricey. But for some it could be a way to enter pc gaming while also upgrading their existing Xbox, so the higher price might be worth it.

I hope it's nice and seamless. A tab for Xbox and a tab for PC would be cool. Having to switch to a different "modes" would probably be a bridge too far for me. But if it could provide a nice PC like experience for the living room. I'm on a wait and see now, but I could dig it

Gravity Rush Remastered is $14.99 on US PSN buff.ly/4e4atn4

also on PS+ Premium

So what do you guys think of Project Helix?

Sony Says PS5 Is the 'Most Successful' PlayStation Generation Ever, Making $136 Billion in Sales So Far - IGN Sony has called the PS5 its most financially successful console generation to date. This was revealed by Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino during his recent keynote speech, delivered ...

Despite closing 7 studios and numerous GAAS failures, they still make more money on PS5 than any other console they've ever had

There are still significantly more "true physical" games on PS5 than there are on Switch 2, so I'd say the except nintendo idea doesn't really make sense.

Way more games on PS5 complete on disk than on switch 2, considering the GKC situation.

I told my parents about the state of the game industry like this: a game was announced in the prime spot of the game awards, then it came out and had 2 million players. so it was a collosal failure

As someone who infrequently buys digital, I've noticed my prices are often lower. Probably trying to shift me from physical spending.

Wouldn't have*

I kinda get it, but if Sony had just stayed the course originally, we would've have gotten the few PC ports we got. But I get where you're coming from. Feels like a bait and switch even if it really isn't

I get the comparison, but there's lots of apps that are only on Android and vice versa.

I too wish for more games accessible for more people though, in whatever form that works.

The strategy Nintendo is currently using has historically been the one to follow

I still think from their perspective it's not worth putting their platform at risk. They'll end up in the position Microsoft is currently in.

Part of the reason they are leaving PC Is the poor sales aren't worth putting their platform at risk.

At this point. And while PCs are still getting more powerful, most of the improvements are in machine learning, not raw compute. And raw compute is what will be needed to emulate PS5. We are likely a decade away (or more) from emulating PS5.

The bigger problem is power. Previously your hardware needed to be 10x more powerful than the device you were emulating in order to hit acceptable framerates. This is less so since the consoles switched to x86, but there is still not a consumer PC that exists that could emulate a PS5-

-industry and economy were better.

Lmao nailed it.

I mean personally I'm conflicted because I think more games on more platforms is always a good thing for consumers. But it doesn't make sense to love your switch for the exclusive Nintendo games while simultaneously bemoaning PS for having some of their own.

I just wish the-

I've seen a lot of people who currently own PS5s and even like them say "I think I'm going to go PC only next gen, since PS games are going there anyway" I imagine it's stuff like that Sony is worried about. I feel like they kinda already contributed to Xboxs problems.

Ohhhhh you're probably right lol.

Keeps the console manufacturers healthy. (3/3)

Literally the reason Nintendo does so well. It's also why the PS1, PS2 and PS4 were so successful. If you do feel strongly regardless that exclusives shouldn't exist, you should apply that same standard to Nintendo. Personally I want whatever allows people to play the most games, while also (2/3)

Sony wants exclusive games on their platform just like Nintendo does. Historically speaking, if you wanted to play a Nintendo game, you needed a Nintendo console

This has also almost always been true of PlayStation as well. It sucks to need dedicated hardware to play games. But exclusives are (1/2)

I do not understand people who love their exclusive Nintendo games being upset at PlayStation drawing back from PC and investing in exclusives again.

Feels like thinly veiled console wars.

Sony and Microsoft were both their healthiest when they followed the exclusive model. The PS2 and PS4 were a success specifically because of their exclusive game approach. The Xbox 360 was the same. Nintendo does it because it works, that's exactly why Sony is going back to it.

People buy the console for God of war, Saros, Returnal, Ratchet. gran Turismo, Spider-Man etc. It's 2026, we gotta leave the console wars behind

We are likely 15 years away from a PS5 emulator

They are more concerned with losing their console audience to PC, not worried about converting PC users to PS.
