Nah, if they maintain their U.S. lead for November they'll use that to buy more time. If they don't they're dead, though, nothing will save them.

That is one exclusive worth having. Which is one more than the PS4 has.

There's no better exclusive than 'something you can play on your old console for a few bucks' * 4.

Also the niche dark-souls ripoff Bloodbourne is coming soon! That's exciting, except the fact its niche and dark souls is boring and sucks.

its not really a rip off when its coming from the actual devs really is it lmao also, it owns

WEEDLOVER NARUTO posted:

I disagree about souls/bloodbarn, but its not even out yet. Sunset Overdrive and MCC are both great and out now. I think the Xbox One will be the PS3 of this generation, MS knows they're the underdog right now and they have to work harder to sell systems. They've actually listened to the playerbase and fixed/improved/added features to the dash and will try to get more exclusives.

its not even in close to the same position as the ps3 was. on top of what univbee mentioned, you also have the issue of the ps3 simply being a system that was hard to code for, but with the hardware to back it up once you knew what to do, meaning games like the last of us etc which were graphically beyond what the 360 could handle. the xbone is more complicated but also weaker. also sony still had and still have a large stable of varied studios and IPs to draw from. microsoft has spent the last 5 years axing them left and right, with old series being handed off to inexperienced teams, old IPs being abandoned despite being well regarded and good sellers, and a much smaller pool to draw from for new projects and exclusive titles. on the 360 they leveraged install base to hook in third party devs, but they don't have that leverage now.

Univbee's post literally did not mention metacritic scores at all. I understand you guys are really upset that people are pointing out your favorite computerbox isn't selling very well, but that response has nothing to do with anything.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
rear end Creed Unity apparently has massive frame rate dips and poor pop-in issues, there's a bunch of guys who have the game already.
It runs under 30 frames per second a lot more often than it runs at 30 itself. You can take two steps backwards and forwards and watch NPC models' detail levels pop in and out from just metres away. These problems are on both consoles and the PC version.

I think Ubisoft will probably get savaged on the performance front.

Well if it's not a Souls game,but rips off a lot from it, yeah it can be a ripoff, even if it's the same developer. I'm probably being overly critical of the game as there isn't a ton out there on it to judge it.

I just hate the Souls games.

its part of the same series and is in the same world, just a different time. i played the alpha and its incredible.

its not going to drive a huge number of mainstream sales, but it will certainly push a number of people to pick up a ps4 early, instead of an xbone, or at all if they weren't considering one until it got locked in as a ps4 exclusive for life. the souls fan base is obsessive.

I knew someone who sold a PS4 to his brother for $200, so prices on PS4s have dropped by half year over year too.

Really though I'm not sure what the big deal is about a handful of consoles being sold at 20% off from an online retailer that ran out of the coupon code savings after like 2 hours.
