Psvr is in good shape in a market with very questionable future.

Sony made enough units upfront that they all sold, and trickles out a few every once in a while but never enough that they sit on shelves.

They likely covered their r&d costs and built an install base big enough that any vr experience will have to treat them as the lead platform

The rub however is that vr experiences may very well stop coming out since the hype is drying up.

Like i said, they are in a good position to either walk away from vr or be its leader depending on how the market moves

The 2DSXL will be finally be able to natively read my pirate amiibos but I won't be able to pirate any games on it, so what's the point. I will only play games if I can steal them.

Wait. Hear me out. Imagine a more powerful PS4 pro that plays Forza, Halo and Gears at a higher resolution than the Xbox One. The only trade off is no Sony exclusives and it'll cost more when it comes out!*

*What Sony exclusives are left for the second half of this year? They had an incredible Spring, but I'm not aware of anything coming on the scale of Horizon Zero Dawn in the near future. Nintendo might actually be on track to have more impressive exclusives during the holiday season.

Gran Turismo Sport will make for some great trailers and replay videos, but it's going to disappoint a lot of people looking for GT7. That's if Kaz stops obsessing over the stitching patterns on the shifter boots and puts a release date on it. It's one of the few (the only?) PS4 exclusives MS actually has successfully countered.

What do EA make/publish these days other than Sports games?

I remember back in the Mega Drive days EA were largely a great publisher, but I don't even remember what the last EA published game I played was, other than FIFA.

EA currently has more acquired and closed studios than they have active IPs.

As we already know, RiME is coming to the Switch later than on other platforms for a higher price. Well, good news! The digital version will be cheaper.

Grey Box posted:

Back in March, we announced that the Nintendo Switch version of RiME was going to be released at $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99. The reason for the higher price was due to the additional development, manufacturing, and publishing costs involved with that port.While some were understanding of these go-to-market costs, there were still a number of folks who weren't happy. We totally understand: nobody wants to pay higher prices.

At Grey Box, we are determined to provide a fair deal for everyone around. And so we discussed how we could do that, without simply selling at a loss, all while also being fair to our retail partners. So, here's what we're doing.

First off, the digital version of RiME on Nintendo Switch will now cost $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99, the same price as the game on other platforms. So, that’s straightforward enough.

On the physical side, we can’t lower the price without selling at a loss, but we can add more value to the package. And that’s what we’re doing. For the Nintendo Switch version of RiME, all physical copies will include a printed code for a download of the complete, beautiful soundtrack by David García (a sample of which you can find here). You will be able to download the music via Bandcamp in one of the multiple high-quality formats. The soundtrack is planned on being sold separately for $10 in the US (and equivalent prices elsewhere), and so the value you’re going to get out of this will be the same as somebody who purchased a different version of RiME, and then bought the soundtrack.

I still have my X360 copy, so no worries there :v:. I'm kinda curious to see if both Bayonettas might get a port at some point though, just to get some easy sales out of the many, many, people who didn't buy a WiiU.

Screen protector is kind of overrated if you are careful with your devices, I had one lying around since release and only just installed it. The glass one is really nice looking and looks just as good as the actual screen. Case is going to be useful if you plan on taking it out of the house. If you are going to dock it take it to the bathroom take it to bed, not so much.

Pro Controller is nice, but joy con in each hand resting comfortable on each leg is really nice too. I'd go with a Pro over a second joy con set though so you have options solo and so do your guests.

Don't get a charge grip, if it's like the one that came with the console it makes the most uncomfortable controller ever conceived and where I think all the joycon hate comes from.

I thought you meant detached in the sense of it being hard to do like with the strap.
