CosmicSex said: All of this End of Life PS4 predictions has me wondering when Sony's Q1 results are due. They already shipped 100 million so folks saying that it will top out at 110 are crazy. They are almost guaranteed to be over that by the end of Q4. Going under 120 is like implying that Sony will stop shipping them. They will keep selling them into 2021 or 2022. agree strongly,...

Hardware First, Software First, Services First: How The Big 3 Sell Their Brands, As I See It

in Gaming Discussion 4 hours ago

Bofferbrauer2 said: I would think Microsoft as Services first, Software last (pretty ironic for a software company like Microsoft), and Sony Hardware first, Services lastYou could also make the argument that Nintendo would be Software first, Hardware last, since they design their hardware around their software ideas, and not the other way around, and consider their gimmicks as kinds of...

Hardware First, Software First, Services First: How The Big 3 Sell Their Brands, As I See It

in Gaming Discussion 10 hours ago

I'm working so could only take a very quick read of this but I will tag and read it fully later however....I could never agree that Microsofts focus hasn't been on hardware this generation, they've got the most variants of console X1, X1S, X1X and X1SAD the focus of all their commercials in the last 2 years has been that their hardware is the most powerful over the other 2 and while E3 did have a...

What happened to Sports games?

d21lewis said: Personally I wasn't ever too big on sports games BUT I was a huge fan of games like NFL Blitz, NBA Jam, Ready 2 Rumble, SSX, etc. I miss those unrealistic sports titles. 😥 Did you ever play NHL Hitz 2002-2003 or Pro from Midway? Really fantastic Ice Hockey game in the vein of unrealistic but just focused so much on fun. There was 3 of them during the...

X1 being outsold 2:1 by the PS4 and nearly 4:1 by the Switch in the US really is the death tolls ringing on that console. Switch consumed nearly a half a million units of the lead that the X1 had over the system this last 2 weeks. Mario Maker really has pushed the sales into the next gear for Switch I do feel that the system would benefit massively if it had some form of video streaming in the...

Revisiting Breath of the Wild

in Nintendo Discussion 3 days ago

one major concern I would have is that you say you done 100% of the game, could I ask, did you do that all yourself with exploration and discovery... or did you play along using a guide to locate the shrines and all of the Korok seeds? I didn't touch a guide until I had all 120 Shrines in the bag and each of the Korok seeds required for me to max out inventory but I felt it was amazing to...

super_etecoon said: Ok...I almost want to make a thread, but I'll leave it here for now:Who has drift in their Pro Controller here? Nope, got a Pro Controller not too long after the Switch and use it for hundreds of hours of Paladins and Rocket League when playing on my big ass home cinema, works a charm. ...

JoyCon Drift

I had this a while ago, replaced a stick with a cheapo one from Amazon or Ebay, they have tiny ribbon cables inside which a heavy hand could damage, but if you know anyone in your family or friends who deals with IT support of laptops or mobile devices ask them to do it for you, will set you back 3-5e rather than 40 for a new JoyCon Also I will mention that I replaced my left joycon with this...

Damn that battery life increase is very tempting, I could very well see myself buying one of these newer models as a pre christmas present for myself and then look at modifying my older model switch to install homebrew and emulation on it. Switch sales +1 I think for me. ...

What new inputs could the DualShock 5 add?

in Sony Discussion 5 days ago

The controller has really been missing some form of Theremin addition to it. Just think how much it would increase the accuracy in driving games or shooters! You would dominate the FPS world on this badboy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6KbEnGnymk ...

curl-6 said: If Switch stays above 200k throughout July and August I'll be impressed. If it dips below that i early Sept that'd be understandable, Japan especially is gonna hold their breath for the Lite. I seriously think Nintendo are gonna have supply issues again from the release of Lite to the end of the year; Switch's sales were already really good, add both a $200 revision and the...
