>>741947821I think they're doing alright considering the gta preorders over the last 48 hours
>>741947821Best selling games of May (includes digital sales for PC games and digital projections for Nintendo games)
>>741947821Best selling games in the US year to date
>>741947821Recession indicator.
my gas and grocery bills are double what they were a year ago
>>741947821There's a reason why Sony's not expecting a lot of PS5 sales going forward despite GTA6 releasing.
>>741947821Don't worry the lowering of the ps5 in 2 weeks will fix that.
>>741947954>>741948052>Lego Batman that highWas it any good? I thought about trying it but it was too expensive and I'm personally not a fan of Lego games having voiced characters.
>>741947821Clearly we need more Horizon Zero Dawn remakes to spur sales
>>741947821>the PS5 had a drop in sales of 48%that is in dollar sales, It's -58% in units sold
>>741947821Consoles sold estimatesSwitch 2: ~270KPS5: ~95KXBS: ~63K
>>741948314Because everyone who wants that shit already bought one years ago. Not like they are playing any games on it.
>>741948406>mogged 3:1Oof, Snoyjeetbros…
>>741948504That too. GTA6 is going to kill the revenue for every western ball and gun game for the next year except for maybe CoD.
>>741947821>losing to toddlerslopThey have only themselves to blame.
>>741948406>PS5: ~95KAlmost 100k at $1000. Snoys are cattle.
>>741947821sonysistahs... care to explain?
>>741948654PS5 Pro are 3% of sales anon. Thats data by Sony themselves.
>>741948390It is, I like the Star Wars ones way more but this one is still funny and enjoyable
>>741947821Not surprising snoy is betting everything they have on GTA VI. They literally have nothing going on for them. And it won't save them anyway.
PS5 has no games, so not sure why anyone would by it.
>>741947821Good.
I guess that's what happens when there's not enough games, and putting all your eggs in the GTA 6 basket was not the best move.
>>741949030It's funny how snoys are already writing off Wolverine and Goddess of Laundry as disappointments.
>>741947821Just make good games and your console will have some appeal, what's fucking hard to understand? the sales were bad in 2000 because there was no games, and then 2001 happened...
And to think, if Microsoft says they'll have to increase prices further Sony might have to too.
>>741949326the fact wrath of cortex and twisted metal black are on this list is making me question the quality of all the other games on it that i didn't playthose games were actual putrid slop
>>741949376PS6 and PS handheld are fooked
>>741947954>>741948052crimson doubters BTFO
>>741949397I agree there's some questionnable games in there, here's a better list
>>741948996Might give it a shot when it's cheap enough. Haven't played a Lego game in ages and I got a bit of an itch for one.
>>741949376Realisitcally everyone will if the issue surrounding AI continues, the question is how bad will it get in 2027?
>>741947821The rape will continue until moral improves.
>>741947821nobody wants to wait 10+ years for a new game anymore and companies like Capcom and Nintendo know this, while Sony exclusives take a whole generation to be presented to players. Since I have both consoles, many times I choose to buy games for the NS2, since I can play handheld. Id rather have an AA Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy every year than waiting 10+ years for an AAAA that will never live up to the hype.
>>741947821Good. I want the video game industry to crash.
>>741947821Now imagine if take-two wasn't retarded and gta 6 was day 1 so people could actually afford to play gta 6
>>741948390If you liked Lego City undercover and the combat from the Arkham combat you will like it, the writing is pretty "straight to TV kid's movie" tho
>>741950180>I want the video game industry to crash.same, at this point we can only go back to the golden age with a pure reset, diamonds will rise from the ashes
I thought about getting a playstation just so i can have some physical games but at this point i feel it's too late, i'm better off buying a ps6 (((if it's not like 1.5 grand)
Nintendomination!
>>741949198I'm sometimes a sucker for a movie game but goy of war 2 was so fucking boring and up its own ass. Same with yotei. I'm just sick of these types of games now they're so long and shallow. Wolverine and gal of war look to be the same way. I expect journos to say that Wolverine is "refreshing" because it's 15 hours long though lmao
>>741950069>nobody wants to wait 10+ years for a new game anymore and companies like Capcom and Nintendo know thisthen why are we still waiting for the next 3d mario game? it's been almost 9 years at this point...
will the massive sales drop be interpreted as the market being fully saturated or simply as its potential customers being outpriced? depending on the spin the ps6 could be further delayed or pushed out next year immediately.
>>741947821>bluesky threadgo back
>>741950556A combination of both i suppose. This late gen usually prices would drop to attract more customers.
>Build your entire brand on affordable gaming>Make your gaming devices unaffordable>???>ProfitSeriously though, what were MS and Sony expecting?Their audience is primarily poorfags, they're not exactly known for being able to drop fucking $900 on a video game console, even the absolute bargain-bin Series S that performs worse than a last gen XboneX in GPU-limited games is $500.
>>741950401of course a brown little boy is a nintendie
>>741950837A lot of this shit is out of their handsAI is fucking up the price of components for everyone except AI brosImporting shit into america more expensive due to tariffs Inflation has been worse this decade than the previous 2 decades This is the first generation where making a console is more expensive at the end of the generation than at the start.
>>741948406>Switch 2: ~270K>PS5: ~95K
>>741950180Why? What does that accomplish
>>741951051>sees little boys everywhereNot beating the allegations, Snoy
>>741948303Trump doesn't care, why should we?
>>741947821>make a next Gen console>it has no games>no one buys it because there's nothing to play on it >other major competitor is Xbox, who released another console with no games on it Grim.
remove wokethat's all it fucking takes, it's that shrimple
>>741951948this
>>741950439You have a point there, but Mario franchise is not dead like many Sony IPs. Sony killed most of its games. Its high likelly that we will have a 3D Mario in the next few years (or less than a year, i hope), but can we say the same about Sony bringing back GoW with original gameplay? Or Sly cooper, Infamous, Jak and Dexter, Dark Cloud, The Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms... Not to mention the last mainline Uncharted (is it dead?) was released in 2016, TLoU in 2020...
>>741951948They did remove the woke & now they're out of ideas since you chuddies didn't want remake slop. You're going to make the crash worse unless you buy something, anything.
TOTALGAMINGDEATH
>>741952219>but what about [dogshit shovelware that no one in the existence of ever bought a polystation for]?Literally of that except gow was always packing garbage.
>>741949397The fact that you have taste this shit makes me question your skin color
>>741949326>>741949502>no Pikmin
>>741951948Yes, this has nothing to do with the hobby becoming increasingly more expensive at an unsustainable rate, and much more to do with your paranoid definition of "woke".
>>741952504>calling infamous garbageI will beat you to death with a sledgehammer for saying that you faggot. It's still the closest thing to a genuine static shock game we will ever get.
>>741952219I dont like many of the games I listed, but the fact that they were playstation exclusive is what makes a person buy console A over B. There is literally zero reasons for me to buy a PS5 today if its only for exclusives, since there are none. If I want to play Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade, Splatoon and others I have no choice but to buy a NS2. I have both so for me whatever, I buy the game based if I wanna play it handheld or not when I have the choice. But thats a problem for sony executives, not me. Id love if they brought back Wild Arms, though.
>>741952956Gaming has never been more inexpensive and accessible and successful than it is today.
>>741953204tell that to the PS5 sales
>>741947821Yeah PS5 is dead even in the west now, and GTA VI is not saving this shit. GTA V did not boost PS3 or 360 sales and Sony themselves have lowered hardware sales projections for the next fiscal year.
>>741953263PS5 sales, Gaming has never been more inexpensive and accessible and successful than it is today.
>>741953342>revenue
>>741947821so you be sayin releasing a no games station and some faggy propaganda games that peak at 300 players is not a sound business strategy?? waow?!
>>741953263>People are dropping $450 dollarinos + $70 for Pokopia>People are even buying Xbox for Forza>People are already pre ordering a digital only $100 GTA VIIt’s all about woke, people will drop money for good games, not for the gay cuck Saar simulator
>>741951948Chuds don’t play games the same way wokies don’t play games.
>>741952956Sorry to break it to you, but.. Concord, Dragon Age Veilguard, Dustborn, Forspoken, Redfall, Highguard, Saros, etc didn't fail because of pricing
>>741951693It's rotten to the core by kikes and needs a hard reset.
>>741947920Thats not much if you compare to how many games are sold globally. Thats not gonna replace 5 years of draught
>>741952956If someone really wants something they'll find money for it no matter what. Yet most don't seem to be doing that for games anymore, nah, can have anything to do with the quality going to shit across the board, naaah.
Nice, Yoshi made it to the list.Game's a gem.
The Switch is the most popular console because a ton of women buy it unlike the PS and Xbox. I've seen countless of "girl gamer" aesthetic rooms and they all have a Switch on their desk with some custom kawaii grips.
>>741954671>platformer where you can't dieI don't think so, Tim.
>>741954791playstation is for niggers and trannies.
>>741954839No, Nintendo didn't make Astro Flop.
>>741953342Yeah, Revenue. What the industry has done is over charge for everything and claim everything is fine. Hell, even this month, Matt is telling you everything is great but he leaves out that part of that is he's counting revenue and last May didn't have the Switch 2, which is $150 more expensive than Switch 1 and its games are $10 more expensive too. Hell, this November will be an AMAZING month but thats because GTA is $80/$100. They have been papering over the industry's problems by increasing prices and milking who ever is left.We're hitting a breaking point. PS5 sales have all but crashed and Nintendo's have crashed in Japan (they will probably follow suit once the price increase hits the US). Price is getting too high for people too afford and the games that started during COVID are coming out now. Shit is going to be fucked which it needs to be. The industry needs a reset and to kill off the financial interest cockroaches that came in during the 2010s
>>741954839It's more of a puzzle game.
>>741951519thisThe future is seriously ducked in ways most people don't appreciate or understand yet

>>741954982two more weeks
>>741956019snoyim are literally cattle.
Idk how they will sell PS6 at whatever price point it is.
>>741956019It doesn't make sense as Sony's troubles are of their own doing. The global economy's situation is just there to drag them to the grave deeper.
>>741951574The PS2 sold 6 trillion units.
>>741956632OY VEY
No wonder their cult keeps making samefag console war and GTA threads.
It'll be interesting to see next month if all those GTA6 preorders are actually moving hardware or if it's all just the existing base.
>>741956841﬩ 6 millions units were just sold.
>>741950635Do you have anything meaningful to contribute, fucktard? No? Then shut the fuck up.
>>741957137GTAV didn't help hardware, the 360 and PS3 were already on the way out in 2013. Similarly we're already talking about 10th gen consoles. People that want a GTA6 machine already have a GTA6 machine.Only thing that's going to make any movement is the Switch 2 and whatever decisions Nintendo decides to make related to that like bundles.
>>741947821>[Apocalyptic News]Can you be more creative than this?
>>741957387GTA did move Xbox One and PS4sRetards saying it will move PS5s and Xbox Series are delusional R* dickriders and/or Snoys.
Wow you mean the combination of massive price increases combined with a consumer recession are having a big impact
Concord 4 will fix this
>>741947954I’m surprised that Yoshi made it to the list, it came out almost at the end of the month and didn’t make a lot of noise
>>741957956I can't wait to see more layoffs!More entertaining than their shit products!
>>741948390>Was it any good? I thought about trying it but it was too expensive and I'm personally not a fan of Lego games having voiced characters.It's not bad, but it's too short for the price it costs, performance is a bit subpar on a laptop 4060 at 1440p with upscaling, on a desktop 9070xt at 4k also has performance dips unless you use upscaling.It took me 18.1 hours to beat the MSQ, while in between I almost completed several zones and did a lot of secondaries.
>>741953764>didn't fail because of pricingIf they didn't cost 70$/80€ they would have sold a lot more copies in release, yes, thus having been less of a failure, obviously you can't expect people to drop a whole day's worth of work in a single game with bad word of mouth.
>>741959413Nobody would’ve paid even $30 for a game that teaches you how to be a better saaar
>>741953204You'd have a point if you said this 10 years ago back when hardware was getting cheaper over time instead of more expensive.
How long until the next PS5 price hike? Can't be too long now that Microsoft announced theirs.
>>741951698>quick lets make something unrelated to trump about trump XD
>>741961016Next month, after more layoff announcements!
>less people bought the console after the price increaseok?
>>741947821Well yeah. Sony's games are awful.
Why did it take this long to catch up to them, they have been making every wrong move on purpose for like half a decade
>>741947821Don’t worry, a $1200 PS6 will surely reverse this
>>741961542if a console hits $1200 then PCs will be $3k
>>741961523>Sony's games
>>741951693Catharsis.
>>741961614It’s not “if”, the PS5 pro is already $900 and it’s very possible that there will be another price increase by the end of the year if Xbox had to do it again. The Steam machine is also priced at cost and the PS6 obviously would need to be notably stronger than it
>>741961614Then it all dies lil bro. Pc parts market will never recover that's a fact
>>741947821We must….increase console prices…even further beyond….
I predict Nintendo will be able to hold out until next year before they hike their prices again, since their currently announced hike doesnt even kick in until September
>>741961614>>741961830PChads aren't poor like consoleniggers and PCs can be everything from 300$ to 10000$The only "people" that are going to suffer are consolecucks.We don't care
>>741947821>May 2000>5 months before PS2s US launchPS5 selling worse than a console that was months from being replaced.
Nintendo is gonna dominate the US until GTA VI.Then after like 2 months they will be back at the top because most people who want GTA VI already have a console to play it.
>>741962325>PChads aren't poor like consoleniggerslmao yes you are

>>741963346> nigger will never know the pleasure of buying 1500 dollars in parts and assembling them at homeso there's 3. How many do you have?
>>741960503People who don't know shit from the game and have a bit of interest on the game, you could expect them to pay up 50$ for example on release day, but the game ain't 50$, it's 80$, you need a lot of willpower to fork that much money on a game you're not extremely hyped for.This is basically why most games are failing miserably, people aren't 40% richer than in the ps3 era, you can't expect people to just drop big boy money on things they could not like.
>>741963772>He samefagged 3 times in impotent rageHoly mother of thirdie poorfag cope!That ass is burning!!!

I am highly skeptical Playstation consoles sold as well as Sony claims they have. The 5 more million for ps2 felt like they pulled numbers out of their ass to make sure switch doesn't surpass it. Had anyone actually audit Sony to make sure their numbers are accurate?
>>741964439They count refurbished sales as new sales, they literally say it on their reports, but nobody cares
>>741964439You don't make the numbers up because you end up paying extra tax on the made up sales. So of course it's accurate.
>>741950180same but only the am*rican industry. JP and EU may continueI hope the chink industry implodes and stops forever
>>741955249The problem with all those graphs is everyone includes mobile gaming with the rest of gaming. Mobile is the only growing sector and outside of some gacha games there really isn't much crossover. If you look at PC/Console, which is the gaming we're talking about and what Matt is talking about, its been pretty stagnant with the only growth coming from price increases. This is why they constantly tell you gaming is growing so much while everyone gets laid off.
>>741965151yes, that's exactly how your arsehole looks after I've just torn you a new one. what a insufferable poorfag you are
>>741949424Is the game really that good? I might pirate it
>>741964574That's right. The gaming industry is growing, it's never been more successful, and it is more widely consumed than ever before.
>>741965583>Including Mobile again
>>741947821Buy our games you fucking chuds! Do you know how many transgendered individuals employed by sony will die without their estrogen!?
>>741965707That's right. The most popular gaming platform.
>>741951693Around the 2010s thanks to consolidation and millennials entering the work force, gaming got big enough where the (((Money Interest))) got involved. From there, gaming has become all about maximizing profits over making good games. Not to mention that it opened the door to hiring a bunch of people who don't play games. A crash would get rid of both groups. Gaming was best when it was a bunch of outcast who would rather make games for a living than get more serious jobs.
>>741965328If you treat it like a sandbox action adventure game then yes. If you want a good story, meaningful RPG elements and a more guided/well laid out experience then no. The game has a 6-8 hour onboarding/tutorial phase because there's a bunch of mechanics to learn and that seems to be one of the biggest complaints about the game.
