By the time GTA 6 releases, Xbox/PS will cost $1000.

Well, this week has certainly been nightmare scenario territory for the video game industry forecast.

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

And c'mon people. It was 'survive TO 25' not through.

MS shoud've took the hit, raising the prices of you're failing platforms is crazyyy work. They already have so much going against them as a platform I don't understand lol
$380 for a console that struggles to sell on sale at $200-$250? REEEEEEEEE

Why would MS take a hit when it's very evident that they have moved on from the console war.  If MS cared, they would have priced dropped the Series X and S a long time ago if they really felt they could make up any market against Sony or Nintendo.  That ship has sailed, and MS has moved on.  Once most of you realize this than you can see where their direction is headed and it's not as a console OEM.  

My bet is that MS drop out of being a console provider and concentrate on building their gaming platform on their strength which is the PC.  Maybe they try going Valve route where you can put your PC into a Xbox gaming mode and deliver a console experience on a PC.



Xbox has an extremely strong shot now at Publisher of the Year with GTA VI out of the way.

  • February - Avowed.
  • April - South of Midnight / Oblivion Remaster.
  • May - Doom The Dark Ages
  • July - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Remaster.

Then (Predictions).

  • October - The Outer Worlds 2
  • November - Call of Duty
  • December - Ninja Gaiden IV

Maybe something unknown for August/September.

But now Fable's GOTY chances have been put in the dirt once again by GTA 6.



I think Double Fine and maybe Gears Remaster can fill in August/September quite nicely.



GTA 6 getting pushed does not mean there will all of a sudden be a whole bunch of dollars available for other games in 2025.

It just means that a bunch of the dollars that would have been spent on gaming this year have disappeared.

You’ll be able to sell your launch systems 5yrs after launch for more than you paid day 1 lol

I've made the decision to buy Switch 2 on launch or as close to launch as possible now because (as sad as it is to say) it's more economically smart to do so now. Don't care if someone tells me Switch 2 won't increase in price, it's not a risk worth taking, the odds are too high of that being incorrect in the current climate and things (the global economy) are going to get worse before they get better, we'd heading for a worldwide recession, Lol. Plus those stupid tariffs will hurt Nintendo eventually too, Taiwan won't save them forever.

Well you better get a pre order secured soon son. NS2 could possibly see a £50 price rise before the end of the year at this rate lol. Might aswell drag this gen out for 10yrs. 



Ride The Chariot | ‘25 Completion

GTA VI launch title for an early Next Box release is now more possible.

So there's an Oblivion glitch on PC which lets you take the sliders even further...

Have I created the most ungodly character design of all time? r/oblivion

I wish we had this in the Console version, Lol.

Saw these two thread as well, other player characters ranging from abominations to great looking, Lol.

Show me your characters: r/oblivion + Show me your characters!: r/oblivion

Honestly, Khajiits and Argonians have got such a big glow up, some peoples Argonians/Khajiits look awesome.

Then there's Handsome Squidward.
