I mean the PS2 didn't launch with ANYTHING from Sony. They eventually came out with a game called Fantavision but on day one in North America, there wasn't a single first party game.

That's if I remember correctly.

How long was that and what did nintendo changed? Cuz as far as Im aware nintendo had a flop console that nobody wanted and they ditched it and got successful. They at no point changed any strategies. they keep making the same games they always made. They still have the same kind of events they had for a while. No over promising, very few cg trailers. 

Sorry but no. The issue that nintendo had to overcome is worlds apart from what the xbox has to. That after 10 years its still on a decline while the complain is the same. 

Agreed. Without Halo launching, neither console is really launching with a “banger” but really just a slew of smaller titles and big third party titles. It’s the same strategy Sony has used every gen, and MS has used it every gen after the first Xbox. Only Nintendo routinely has something incredible at launch, like BotW, Wii Sports, SM64, SMW, etc. And that makes more sense for them because they rely on very little from third parties.

Looking back, my first three Xbone purchases were Dead Rising 3, Ryse, and Peggle 2. Only one of those was amazing, Peggle obviously. It sucks that there’s no Halo at launch but COVID sucks, and apparently the option was to delay parts of the game and launch it piece by piece or delay it entirely and I respect that Phil delayed it entirely. With everyone preaching that MS is going to just poop out whatever crap they can throw into GamePass, it’s nice to see confirmation that nah, that’s a stupid narrative.

60 fps helps more with image stability (while turning) than reaction time. That extra 16 ms doesn't have much impact on the average human's 250 ms reaction time.

Seeing your enemies from further has more to do with draw distance and image stability, no pop in or lod changes to distract you. That can be better achieved at lower resolutions. 1440p60 can provide a more stable image that 4K60.

However that 60 fps can also be achieved with frame shifting the way psvr doubles from 60 to 120 fps. If the game renders at 1440p30 with lower motion blur (calibrated for 60 fps) and shifts the frame 60 times per second based on your latest turning input and momentum, it can provide the most stable high fidelity image with lower latency than native 4K60. Just in time frame shifts can shave off more latency, while the engine polls controller input at a higher rate unrelated from the screen output.

Render smarter, not harder.

If there is no game pushing XSX, and they rely on 3rd party that will also be on PS5 that Sony is pushing much more, momentum will favor PS5 tremendously.

If you always looking for something to hate then you will never be disappointed. Also ironic Sony’s recent State of Play was largely panned online and yet it got nowhere close to the May event backlash. Definitely a double standard here.  

I saw the May event as what it was: interesting A-AA games. The July event showed me they taking 1st party seriously. The Halo delay is just lost time and me being bummed out waiting because it can only improve now. 

I'm just here to co-sign that Peggle 2 is indeed awesome. 

It’s not that simple as MS has marketing deals with high profile games like Cyberpunk and AC Valhalla. And in general if Series X can in fact hit resolution and/or FPS benchmarks that PS5 struggles to hit that can also go into Xbox’s favour. Just like the early years where it was gaming news every time a multiplat had inferior resolution on XBOne , word of mouth can do it’s thing. 

Otherwise to be fair there is no game pushing PS5 at launch either. They are banking on the Spiderman name more then anything. 

Finally got all 1450 achievement points earlier this year. App says 190 hours, not bad for a $15 digital title.
