PS5 Digital coming in at $400 puts Series S in a bit of an awkward position. For just $100 more, you get about double the SSD speed and 6 more tflops of GPU power than Series S. Series S should still sell well on the holiday at $300, but I wonder if they will cut it to $250 around about March to boost sales after the post-Holiday sales slump. Might be a good idea to look into doing the $250 with no controller thing at the very least, for those who already have an XB1 controller or two lying around.

Sony likely eating a loss on that for sure no way does that Disk Drive reduce the costs that much, MS should counter with a Digital Series X.

Pretty good conference overall. 8/10 for me. 
FF 16 didn't look that great to be honest, really hope it's just a one year timed exclusive deal. I honestly felt Harry Potter stole the show. I've played so many of the terrible movie game, so to get a real one is amazing news. Spiderman also on PS4.. cool I guess. New God of War teased, Metroid Prime style. If anyone here knows the exclusivity details of 16, let me know. Price is pretty good for 400 and 500, as what was expected. Hopefully I'll get one later this year, or next.

FF16 is definitely timed. Fine print says "Not available on other platforms for a limited time after release on PS5"

Damn I really missed that? Welp not a big as a get as I thought it was

Wasn't as bad for Xbox as I thought it would be Tbh, the scale of Sony's moneyhats seem to be overhyped, I don't really care about Final Fantasy.

Harry Potter looks awesome, day one.

Hopefully Microsoft has one more event, I don't think they have to respond to the pricing but if they feel the need to then I won't complain.

You were having a heart attack in discord when HP showed up  

They still got SH and Starfield? I hope Xbox doesn't respond to moneyhatting. I'm sorry I'd rather get day one game pass games, or new studio acquisitions. Buying games like that does nothing for me.

So what do we expect from MS? Hellblade Gameplay and a CGI teaser for the Initiative’s game?

I think Hellblade is one of the hardest hit games during the COVID period and don't expect that to have any chance of making 2021 with all the motion capture they use.



I’ll give the show a solid 6. I agree that HP was probably the biggest highlight, initially thought FF16 was full exclusive which would’ve been a big get even after the disappointing showing. Decent pricing. Thought the PlayStation plus collection was GP, Lowkey had me excited but still a good idea. Was expecting a megaton or two but was still a decent show.

Sony is pricing their titles at $70 too, that's that, every single publisher will do it including Microsoft.

Thank God for Game Pass, Lol.

Exactly. That's a huge plus for game pass going forward.

Demon's Souls remake is a timed PS5 exclusive, coming to Xbox eventually.

I thought that game was developed by Sony Japan? I mean, I don't think it looks good at all, but eh. Wouldn't buy it either way (too hard for me).
