It being for 3rd parties is on the opening post and title man, did you read the thread or come just to mock?

I saw the State of Play part, not third party, before clicking. Then I saw the twitter image at the top, which doesn't talk about third party, just says state of play with details on when, so no, I did not notice the third party part before posting, and I'm not here to mock. All I did was wish you all get to enjoy games sooner than later lol.

So you only saw that there was a SoP scheduled and already came to conclusions? Nope, you mocked that we need to wait for years and that you couldn`t, in a very condescendent tone.

I remember Project Eve from the last one but can't remember anything else. Guess it's too soon for anything on that. Only news I really want is Sony to say hey you can walk into a store and easily buy a PS5.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

What? Other than the Virtual boy, when have they failed? Even during the Wii U/3ds years they made a profit. Here's their gross profit from 2006-2021:

You mean the profit when you put together the Handheld and consoles? If you think N64, GC and WiiU were sucessfull consoles ok them.

That's how they worked for years. Two platforms, so if one failed the other could still succeed enough to overcompensate for the failure of the one. What they are doing now is riskier, yet in all those years and still now they made profit. At the end of the day, that is all that matters. Nintendo doesn't spend nearly as much money on things as competitors, so they don't have to sell as much to generate profit.

It's very, very hard to accurately read tone of voice on printed words, especially from voices you don't engage with regularly. I assure you I was not being condescending. I have a general frustration within the industry as a whole, but admitting that isn't insulting anyone or being rude. I genuinely wish all companies would announce games much closer to launch than they do so that we can all have a better and less frustrating experience waiting for the games we expect.

TGS was last month. The FF16 director even said the game wouldn't show up there because they didn't want to get into a drip-feed model of info. Could it show up here? maybe... maybe not. 

Also, based on previous SoP's this year that have been the same length, we can expect at least 10 games being shown. Updates for most of them, and I'm sure 2 new reveals.

Ah didn't even realize I missed it lol. Would be a nice surprise, though its sounding unlikely. And that's fair, I guess they don't want a repeat of what happened with FFXV.

Will keep my expectations in check on the new announcements since we've seen a lot from the past few months. Maybe some new DLC's or something and possibly a smaller announcement.

I'll keep hoping for FF16 at every State of Play.

So will you admit that Nintendo failed on those consoles and that Handhelds saved them?

Because having one side of the company having to pay for the other is the very meaning of a failed project. If you aren`t willing to do it you can say MS never failed in anything as they always had profit.

Sony thread, about sony topic, and you are very negative towards Sony. So you can easily see how that post sounds like even if you say you had no intention of it at all.

Most gamers demand to know of games year in advance, like they know how many studios a platform holder have and how many titles should being worked on, and if they haven't formally announced they will be speculating about them. So it is more like the industry as a whole (news channels and customers included) instead of only the gaming companies, but sure there will be people that don't like that just like you.

The chance of there being anything I care about is next to none. But let's see anyway!
