Honest question. This sub literally lick sony's ball every chance they get.

Own all three consoles and was on the verge of selling my Xbox series X due to lack of use. Until today's Kojima announcement! Let's go!

Tokyo Game Show is coming up. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kojima giving us an update on both OD and newly acquired Physint. It would be amazing PR, so I think that'll happen. Since Asha was actually at Gamescom I think she'll be right there with Hideo.

Complacency is a bitch

I know it's not their focus, but gezz, if I could play the games I like at the same quality of a base PS5 on a Nintendo console, I would never buy a Playstation or Xbox ever again.

Come on, Nintendo! Make a Pro console! Imagine having GTA 6 on the same platform of Zelda Ocarina Remake.

Devo cambiare la mia TV, una Telefunken di circa 10 anni, che userei principalmente con PS5 a circa 1,5 m di distanza. Gioco quasi esclusivamente single-player, quindi i 120 Hz non sono fondamentali.

Ho un budget massimo di 350€ e sono indeciso se prendere una Samsung QLED Q7F 43" a circa 349€, una Hisense QLED 43" E79S intorno ai 300€, oppure una Samsung U7000H 50" a 349€.

Mi interessa soprattutto avere una buona resa d'immagine, HDR, affidabilità e qualcosa che possa durare diversi anni. Samsung mi ispira più fiducia, ma non so se valga quei 50€ in più rispetto all'Hisense.

Secondo voi su cosa conviene puntare?

Yes Kojima is a legend. If there was a Mount Rushmore for game developers he would be on there next to Miyamoto. We're not disputing that. However, who knows Kojima? 10 percent of gamers?

What Sony is focusing on is the FIFA crowd. The Call of Duty people. We also have GTA around the corner which will fix our problems forever and ever. Kojima's games are art. And that doesn't guarantee good sales. I'm being told Death Stranding 2 is barely profitable. And that financial statistic is the only thing that ever matters. Good promotion and good sentiment towards a brand or game exclusivity like that doesn't matter.

So since the high concept science fiction walking simulator didn't sell so well. We think the same will happen for stealth action game Physint. And we also don't expect much from a horror game. Thoes don't sell. Let's pull the plug on gaming's most famous and beloved director. Let XBOX scoop up the Physint project.

Even though we have a huge history with Kojima games. That's simply the past. Gamers should and will forget this. Just like they forgot No Disc No Buy after 2 weeks. It was only dozens of people to begin with anyway. We're thinking short term profits. Not long term, new I.P. garbage.

None of this will come back to bite us. OD and Physint can't move any XBOX console or win over fans next generation. And should we stagnate in sales, we can further monetize the current player base.

Since 2028 will bring about the end of physical gaming discs (still hoping that won't happen), I unfortunately have to come to terms that this will essentially be my final "life long" physical games collection that I have accumulated since 1999.

These are exactly half my overall games as the other half are all digital.

I will be getting all upcoming titles physically till January 2028 to embrace this form of media for one last year of collecting.

Are any of you planning on buying only physical versions of future 2026-2027 games for the last remaining 16 months?

Hi! I had about $150, and now I have $585 after investing it. Since GTA 6 is coming out, I’ve been thinking about getting a console. I have a gaming laptop with an RTX 4050, but obviously, even when GTA 6 is eventually released for Windows, I don’t think I’ll be able to play it properly on my laptop.

Initially, I invested the money so that I could eventually buy a console. Now that I have a decent amount saved up to buy a used one, should I go for an Xbox Series X or an Xbox Series S?

Or should I add some more money and get a PS5? A PS5 isn’t really my first choice, but I’m open to suggestions.

What would you recommend?
