>>742345108They really gotta stop talking shit about Nintendo for Sony's sake.
>>742345353Sorry, we are blaiming Nintendo for the prices now because we need SOMETHING to stick.>>742339606
>>742344405Uh oh someone isn’t taking well Sony killing physical media>In 2028 we will never see a PS game in Famitsu again
who even buys starfox remake? actual starfox fans or furries who never played any starfox game before?
>>742345476Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. Every week is going to be a 30/30 sweep after this year.
>>742345476>>742345729>30/30s will be weekly
>>742345694
>>742345108The good guys always win.
>>742345694Maybe both, the last Star Fox game in a not dead console was like 15 years ago so a lot of people are unfamiliar with it

Nobody actually respond to him, I wanna see how long he will talk to himself.
enjoy those physical ps games while they last I guess

Why is he having a meltdown this time?
>>742347068Sony announced they are discontinuing physical discs after 2028. They're going all in on digital. Everyone hated that.
>>742347068I think he realizes the PS6 is fucked.
>>742347150They're also giving a definite date to shut down the PS3 and Vita stores.And let's not forget people are still pissed at Sony removing 500 movies all at once and is offering no refunds.
>>742347150kek. no wonder
>Sony announces they're going to discontinue making game discs>all snoys can do is blame nintendo for making Game Key Cards because for some reason GKCs is the same as sony killing physical format games
>>742344759How couldn't he be after the news list this week?
July 1st, 2026.The day Sony revealed they're the cancer of the gaming industry.
>>742347861I mean it was already well established
>makes a fake famitsu thread because playstation will eventually stop showing up in famitsu thread in a couple of years since it's going full digitalThis a new level of butthurt, holy shit
>spend an entire year screaming about Game Key Cards>Sony literally starts the fiscal year by saying they're discontinuing physical games mediaIt's almost comical that the universe keeps bending over to slap the local schizoids
For anyone not keeping track, here's the news of the week so far.If you thought last week was wild, you have seen nothing yet.Monday>Japanese government doing moderate AI investment to fire trannylators off translations, kadokawa and crunchyroll plus more are effectively forced to use AI instead of a larger workforce.>Star fox tops the charts in the UK, Requiem also sold more on the switch than on PC recently.>Sony’s financial report dropped, it’s not good. >>742190647>PS is giving up on increasing their monthly active users for the first time in 10 years, they will now focus on “profitability per user” >They're all in on using AI for game development>They don't plan to sell hardware at a loss, there won’t be a subsidized PS6>Rather than focus on growing their userbase, they're hoping to increase the amount that they monetize the existing one

already?
Sega will make the Saturn 2 (because Japan liked the Saturn in particular) and save us from automatic 30/30s.
>>742345990is this just not having the coverage it should or am i just not looking in the right direction?

>>742349076even if anyone wasn't on sony's payroll, feels like small priority news compared to everything fucking else
>>742349076Sony is the meal ticket for gaming press. They aren't going to shit where they eat.

When are the real numbers released?
>>742348640>They're also giving a definite date to shut down the PS3 and Vita storesPeople still buy games for the Vita in this day and age???
>>742349420And after sony discontinues physical disks, it will be perpetual 30/30s for the foreseeable future, unless somehow we see the rare unicorn of a xbox game charting.Because holy fucking shit I just realized the only thing that is going to stop 30/30s with the occasional rare 29/20 is fucking xbox of all things, at least until they also go all digital with the helix and discontinue the SeX disk production.
>>742348640Wait, why he should care about the gacha stuff? I am sure he only cares about anything that "benefits Nintendo" and that gacha is completely unrelated.
>>742344405AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHE'S SO FUCKING MAD.Nintendo won 30/30 forever.
>>742349648I swear to fuck this gif will never stop being relevant
>>742349528Tomorrow
>>742349648Xbox accidentally becoming successful again because sony does every bad decision possible is a fun timeline.It's weird to say but there NEEDS to be a competitor in order for things to stay healthy though.PC has multiple storefronts, but consoles need an alternative, even if it's bad there has to be something.
Lmao even Bethesda is saying fuck you to Sonyhttps://x.com/i/status/2072321026944348209
melting too early, I guess summer really is hot this year.
>>742349730did you miss the gorillion times hes tried to use the "japan/nintendo lost, gachaslop won" card?
>>742349234shit man i dunnoif i'm keeping my purchases in one ecosystem, for convenience let's say, simply losing access to shit i bought - no refunds - is VERY fucked upunless i'm undestanding it wrong, this is not a rental service. i'm not paying for access into a library that may rotate and change its catalog from time to time.
>Nintendo wins famitsu threads for the forseenable future by doing absolutely nothingHow do they keep getting away with it?
Reminder that whenever ziony posts some statistics about how no one buys physical, those charts always include digital only games and even f2p slop because ziony counts them as a sale for 0 dollar. You even get the same mail thanking you for your "purchase"These are peak kike tactics

Probably already pointed out, but killing your physical media literally within 24h of telling everyone to eat shit and deleting their digital movie libraries is certainly quite the choice.

Don't let this physical news distract you from the fact that Playstation announced they plan to drop ONE GAME per year.
>>742351403that and everything before.
>>742351919That's one more than last year and the year previous
>>742351919DaaaaamnThey are ramping up production
>>742351919Hasn't that been their plan for the last decade?
And unlike KCs you won't be able to resell your digital games
What is it these fucks dont understand? Even if a part of Switch 2s library are GKCs that is still more physical presence than the absolute 0 of physical games Sony will release in 2028.
>laughing at the persona 4 remake looking worse than the vita version and looking like it can run on the 3ds feels like extremely old dated news now
Karma really came out swinging a nail studded bat this week
>>742352192the funniest shit of GKC whining is they forget most pis5 games have effectively been GKDs for almost 5 years nowhell, this practice started on the PS4/xbone generation, and its predecessor of "please install the game to disk for faster load times" technically started with the psp
For those wondering how the snoys are taking it up the a- Sorry, I mean, taking the news.
>>742352196>ATLUS forgot Yasogami is supposed to look old/homely because they're out in the sticksPersona 5 and its consequences cannot be understated
>>742352192They're purposefully being obtuse because they want to drag Nintendo down to Sony's level so Sony doesn't seem as bad by comparison.
>>742352419>the new shiny "NOT ON SWITCH, REEE" game literally feels mindlessly remade on unrealslop by pajeets>this is after a straight week of calling the star fox remake "saarfox" and pretending it was made by indians even after being shown a photo of the dev team being mostly white malesi have no idea what snoys did to piss off karma this bad, last year the slaps were hitting hard but they felt they were correcting smacks you know? this straight up feels like attempts to kill
>>742352196snoys will hype up this while they shit on the star fox remake
>>742352196So what was the reason this couldn't run on Switch 2 again?
LaD situations escalates further, the CCP may actually ban all otome and shit for foids in general
>>742352802It's probably the version of UE5 being used. Anything older than 5.6 has performance issues.
>>742344432Actually feel a little bit sick right now thinking this will be the last mainline RGG game to get a physical release
>>742352802faglus' spite for nintendo needs at least 150w of compute power to allow the game to run
>>742352196WTF is shartlus doing?
>>742352321this faggot doesnt want to play anything if he likes sony exclusives.kek
Eric might actually kill himself in 2028 if he has to see 30/30s every single week
>>742353272I wish.
>>742352802All we can assume is some weird contractual mess between ATLUS, SEGA and Sony/MS because going by the specs on their PC releases they have builds that can run even on Switch ONE at times.
>>742352321>playstation has all the exclusives I want to play!He simply doesn't like video games.
>>742353272dont forget a full week of fearmongering key cards over "THE SWITCH 2 STORE WILL SHUT DOWN SOMEDAY AND THEY WILL BE USELESS" due to people laughing at gta6 being code in box only to get kicked in the dick with a steel boot with the news that sony is shutting down the ps3 and vita stores
>>742353387I suspect bad blood between higher-ups but that is going solely off of instincts.
Welp, I guess this is it huhSoon every week will just be 30/30s
>>742353272Can’t he die sooner?
Oh they are already pretending the GKC outrage never happened.
Somebody tell this deadbeat dad SarDeenz to go take care of his kids and hop off of video game discussions.
>>742353574My guess? The other teams saw Nintendo being willing to eat some of the cost of SMT V's messy ass development and might be a bit miffed at having to put up porting costs themselves. IIRC people found evidence of a Switch 2 port of Metaphor months ago via Pro Controller support.
>>742352196>5/30>6/4>not even the same weather>pc full resolution screenshot vs youtube screenshot>this image has probably been posted over 200 times by now and people are still falling for it

How did that "does it play" faggot take it? Anyone have any screenshots?
The rapenning has no brakes. Seriously, sony speedran multiple years worth of bad news and worse decisions in the space of about 2 weeks, and I doubt it gets better from here.
>>742352192>Nintendo is going to have a monopoly on physical space>It doesn't count because third parties are doing Game Key Cards just like they have been doing Game Key Discs for the past decade and a half on other platformsWhat is it about Nintendo that immediately makes you lose any sense of logic and reason?
Nintendeen status?
>>742354010of course it's a caribbean subhuman.
>>742354232>in the space of about 2 weekslike a week and halfand more like a week and 1/3s of a week
>>742354192The Era thread is massive to find him but he was having a melty after being called out
>>742354232They decided to dump all the bad news while everyone was distracted with GTA6.
>>742354446Playstation is the subhuman global south and southern hemisphere console of choice.
Just bringing this up in case you somehow still had doubts about that shitter
Liquid metal meltdown from the schizo
>>742354010Deltatroon fans are subhuman
>>742344405I see someone is very mad over recent events. Why not rile up the anti gkc crowds and go after sony? You do care about physical media, no?
>>742352321He has to be doing this ironically he can't be this dumb.
>>742354512i know you lot are esls but he's not wrong with the ps5 being a console for physical. 2028 sets a target for the ps6 being a digital only shit box.
>>742354786>but he's not wrong with the ps5 being a console for physicalThen why has Sony been taking the disc drives off of their newer models???
>>742354000Does the weather change the textures of the school?
>>742354861cheaper production costs, there's still the optional cuck drive for those that didn't buy an early disc model.
Meanwhile>MKW gets a new update>Rhythm Heaven comes out this week>Splatoon Raiders looks greatI love being a Nintendo fan
>>742353272you gravely underestimate the power of snoygger copium, snoyric the bald pedophile will outlive us all, fueled purely by his undying hatred for nintendo and his desire to slit children's THROARS, like a gay retarded lich
>>742352192i really dont understand hate on gkc, you can literally resell those, so its not the same as fully digital games
>>742344405POKEMON TCG GACHA FLOPPED LMAO>>742345971
If the PS5 is a blu-ray player and it's no longer supporting disks.What are the odds of sony dropping blu-ray entirely.The multimedia stuff was half the reason for ownership and without that it's genuinely going to be the most expensive fortnite machine.
>>742355023>MKWorld is still unplayable >Nobody cares about Rhythym Heaven>Splatoon Raiders looks like a mediocre Splatoon campaign featuring the least popular idol group in the seriesYup, looks like I'm going to continue to hold onto my money until we get Xenoblade Genesis and a good Zelda game.

>>742355203The hate is mostly just that Nintendo is the one selling them, with maybe 5% actual upset physicalfags.
>>742355203Nintendo dared to give a name to the mandatory digital downloads that have plagued the industry for almost two decades. As a result, these retards are jumping at the opportunity to make them the culprit of trends amongst third party niggers that have existed for years

nash weedle says GTA 6 is coming and that other leakers also know and will come out and say so soon. I wonder if Take-Two is gonna do GCK or code in a box. If it's GCK it will be the only physical option ever lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6hYLNTH80s

looks like we're getting 2D Metroid soon
>>742344405I see 'caco got bootyblasted by recent news.Enjoy while you can. In a short while Famitsu will only be able to report on Nintendo games (not like there will be much difference)
>>742356546>Sony is already an 80/20 split digitial/physical. Apparently they are bloating the numbers by counting f2p games like fortnite and gachaslop as "digital copies sold" even if they are for $0.
uh oh melty
>>742355885Lmao, the difference in news between Nintendo and the rest of the industry could not be more stark
>>742356845look at the news this week so far up earlier in the threadso far this week is making last week's 20fold conga whammy look like a boring no-news week and we are barely halfway into the week, big deal when the big hitters always drop on thursdays so who knows what can be worse than outright killing your physical bd disk games
Not only he made the thread, he made his ritual shitpost in it too. He's MAD.

>>742358421Makes me wonder if they cut down on the budget for it.
>>742355885BASED.
>>742358493objectively speaking, steam did in fact normalize not owning your games physically

>>742345476Don't you people ever learn?For the gaming community and journos it's ok when Sony does itThey will memory hole this shit just they do with every bad thing Sony does and then deflect to Nintendo
>>742355941>>742356891Didn't they have another game flop on the PS5 earlier this year? Nintendo is basically the only lifeline keeping certain western studios like Retro and Mercurysteam alive at this point while everyone else layoffs employees and closes studios.

>>742346132you need to try harder, deen.
>>742348321pretty sure he'll cope by saying that digital PS5 sales is 250% of what Nintendo does in Japan
>>742352723Only thing Starfox could improve is to have some of the bosses weak points show some kind of effect when taking damage beyond just seeing the health bar deplete. English dub could be better too, but that's pretty much out of the picture at this point. Fine remake otherwise.

If you think the rape is bad now, imagine when the switch 2 is no longer competing with a system $150 more expensive than it, but a system $1000+ more expensive, not to mention the bloodbath if they actually release a switch 2 lite to coincide with pokemem wiwa.
So far this past few weeks are being like this gif
how long until Sony go back, apologize and say they won't kill physical media before 2030?
It's over
>>742362251>if they actually release a switch 2 lite to coincide with pokemem wiwa.hold the fucking phonei just realized this likely has to do with the chink rumors of a new lcd screen for the switch 2its not a new one because it's le bad (even in biased NDS comparisons side by side it's surprisingly close to the switch oled) but because its literally smaller for the fucking liteholy fucking shit if nintendo is raping everyone else this hard while being mostly passive i can't even fucking imagine how its going to get once they actually start going on the offensive, i literally cant even fucking fathom it
>>742362251>the hard drive it comes with will fit 2 games>but you can buy additional 2TB hard drives for $750+ a pop and hold an extra 4-5 games each on themLOL nah, enjoy cloud gaming and thanks for beta testing with the PSPortal

>>742363076If this is true, it means it probably is just a more 1-1 remake of OoT than my initial hopes of it being a Resident Evil 2 remake tier kind of game. Like on one hand, I know there are people who want a 1-1 remake, but 1-1 remakes just feel like a waste of time if the original is readily available.
>nintendo holds the line>while the entirety of the west is shitting itself and collapsing under it's own weightunironically wonder if this is how people felt during the ET crash back in the day
>>742363396Aaaand he made a thread after he was called out>>742362060
>>742363492Probably similiar except Nintendo wasn't holding the line on account of not having made the NES yet.
>>742355285>Nobody cares about Rhythym HeavenHoo boy see you next week.
>Ending physical production despite ram fuckery Shit is unfiltered bad PR, holy fuck.
>>742363396>>742363758>completely ignores the fact that it's also censored on PS4 version toothose faggots should just be perma range banned from the entire internet.
>>742362251Just by not including the dock, since the switch 2 dock is more than just a charging port and hdmi adapter, and tuning a couple things down since the switch 2 lite wouldn't need to output at higher resolutions that the base model only does while docked, they could pretty easily get it down to $350 with almost no effort. That's what I predict the price would be, but they could REALLY go for the jugular and send it out for $300. I'd be disappointed if they go for $400 though.
>>742364138>I'd be disappointed if they go for $400 though.sadly with the normal version's price hike this may be what happenswould be hilarious if nintendo proves me wrong and they sell it just $300 or even just $350 but im really not holding my breath on it
>>742344405Time to start filtering these threads.
>>742364403I agree, OP did a really shitty attempt in making a fake one.
>Someone mentions the blancfag getting BTFO with literal AI posts on the hourly muh censorship thread.QRD? I can't keep up with this shit anymore.
>>742364129by 2028 the price of hard drive might force them to rethink about it because they will have to cut the memory inside the console itself to make it affordable.
Wait what?
The fact that this thread is still up proves that the schizo has mod protection
>>742352192I love how they always have to pull the "t-that doesn't make nintendo better" card every time the other companies does something 10x more scummy. You can't tell me GKCs is just as bad as playstation going full digital
>>742364301$350 is already taking the price bump into account. A $300 system being $100 cheaper is a huge difference compared to a $500 system being $100, and I don't know how many parents who were on the fence about getting their kid a $500 switch 2 would suddenly bite at $400.
>>742364593Anon, did you see the last one about Retro being shut down? It went to 467 replies before it was 'removed, just in time'.Shit's wack.
>>742364590and the damage control starts.
kekkk I still remember the usual suspects saying the one thing the PS6 Portable was gonna have against the Switch 2 was physical media
>>742364507Amusing since Nintendo need deal with ram cartel for switch carts.Sony owns Bluray and costs 1 cent to print any game.
>>742364939at this point the universe may fuck over snoys>the ps6 portable is indeed cheap enough to compete with the switch 2, maybe even cheaper>it's just the portal 2 and cloud onlywouldnt put it past sony when they are announcing they are going full digital literally the day after they removed a fuckton of movies from people's PSN accounts
>>742363278>so whos gonna take one for the team and transcribe the stupid shit deen is going to say in his next video?No one, it's not worth losing brain cells. Niggerdeen is too predictable anyways. Everyone knows he's going to blame game key cards for this and claim nintendo will follow this same path as sony. They love their "IF" and "WHEN" scenarios
>>742364939>everyone saying to him that it was fucking retarded since a disc reader on a handheld device would be too big while get too hot with how fast the disc spins>faggot still saying that it would 100% happenthe schizo can't stop taking loss after loss lol
I wonder how retail going respond to this.
>>742364775You can tell the suspect kept bumping the thread and samefagging all day. The jannies really love that little raging faggot
>>742362584Please tell me someone replied to his tweets with this, I want to see the meltdown.
>>742365475>NINTENDO-SAMA!!!! PLS HELP MEEEEEE!!!
I got my copy of Rhythm Heaven in early. Never had a game get to me before the street date. Nintendo won't crucify me if I play today, will they?
>>742365475>gamestop will literally become a Nintendo Store
>>742365724Don't go online.
Looking at the actual numbers, there SHOULD have been a gaming crash in 2012. It was delayed, but never properly addressed, by the industry taking on an increasingly brazen and desperate series of monetization strategies. Constantly trying to inflate the bubble just a little more before things catch up with them. As covid spending dried up, and nft gaming utterly failed to take off, that's when the first wave of layoffs started to happen, but the current RAM crisis would be a dire threat to a healthy industry, let alone one that's been trying to hold off a crash for over a decade and is going through corporate bloodletting to try and stay afloat. GTA6, their great white hope, probably won't even be profitable for multiple years, and even if it sold 120 million, one copy for every ps5 and xbox series ever shipped, on day 1, it wouldn't be the rising tide everyone in the industry is hoping it will be. Delaying the hypothetical crash of 2012 without addressing any of its causes has only made it grow in magnitude for when it finally hits, and I think that time might be soon.
>>742365203You say he's too predictable, but no one would have predicted he was going to say that mario kart world's map is a 1:1 completely reused asset of botw's hyrule.
>>742365724nah.i have it since noon like all the Nintendo exclusives. I always play them 1 day before.

>>742365085Sony wants to stop doing retail which cuts them from maximum gainNintendo will raise the physical price instead and adopt the Japanese model worldwide where games that have a very clear ceiling will have premium price like FE

>>742363187Bet that's he loathe gkc
>>742366760Not as much as he loathes age of consent laws
Nintendomination!
>>742363492It's way, way worse. Reminder that the videogame crash of the 80's only really affected the western market, while the japanese one was still growing healthily even before the Famicom was released, but right now we're seeing:>literally tens of thousands of employees from different companies being laid off>hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain trying to chase the GAAS market>formerly legendary devs like Bungie on their worst possible state as they cannot profit from their most recent multimillionaire game, or Ubisoft which is barely surviving on government grants and yearly Just Dance money>RAMpocalypse making the chase for even higher end graphics virtually suicidal as people will either stick to their current machines or upgrade to a Switch 2 which has already shown it's perfectly capable of running modern videogames>any attempt at developing a game that requires 32GB of RAM as recommended, or worse, 64GB like this >>742326928 , will have a 99% change of being met with below mediocre sales>active attacks at destroying physical ownership, not only on software, but also on hardware, as AI's bubble keeps growing and continues siphoning all available resourcesThe only bright side of everything is that the smarter companies are realizing that the graphics race has become a futile endeavor and are returning to working on better optimization and lower file sizes, such as Capcom. Honestly, I just cannot understand the decision of completely getting rid of their physical media outside of pure malice so the consumer cannot own anything anymore. This is why ownership as a whole should be protected even more than ever.
>>742366853>everyone is ditching physical media>fucking TODD is doing physical all on cart gamesSAVE US TODD!
>>742366760Look at his post again. He posted a AI picture shitting on GKCs while defending his friends at sony
>>742363187It's funny everyone keeps going "physical has been on the decline forever" when it is a factor that more digital games release compared to titles with physical and digital releases. If you factor out the purely digital titles and keep in mind the Insomniac leak a few years ago, physical is still very likely a stronger contender to digital even now.
charts shows that physical sales haven't dropped at all, the percentages are misleading because they contain all the shitty f2p and $5 friendslops indies.

>>742366853wtf bros I suddenly have the urge of buying Skyrim
>Niche games completely fucked because they need premium physical release.Lmao.
Will the Japs backtrack?
>>742367342Maybe he thinks that the beatings will be a lot easier to endure if he gets beat up prematurely? Like, it hurts less if you divvy them up by more than 1-2 days.
i just realized somethingCH betrayed their japanese fanbase for the chink one, and somehow IF/CH found they can milk chink foids with literal otomeslop to the point of releasing a new game almost every 3 months now and so far it sounds they have been barely kept afloat thanks to literal chinks importing their asia releases of otomeslop and buying it digitallythe kicker?the LaD escalated to the point the CCP is aiming to ban all otomeslop and shit for foids in general in an attempt to get them to breed instead of being pissy femcelsCH is beyond fucked
>>742367563...Huh. Yeah now that you say it, that's gonna fuck over any indie who likes making physical media.

We should enjoy these threads while they last in their current form. I have a feeling they won't survive into 2028 much like how the Spanish Sales Threads died abruptly when they stopped being useful to Snoys.

>>742368249>the meme that they only provided 250gb or 64gb cartsIt was true until like FebruarySince then there’s 32 and 16GB, the change was confirmed by an indie dev who said there wasn’t before
>>742368910oh shitmust be pretty far along then, I wonder if it'll show up in the September direct or be shadow dropped on Nintendo Today
>>742368249That was true for a while, but I doubt nintendo provide anything bigger than 64gb for anything but development.Specially now due ram issues.
>>742366798Ah its the pedo snoy
>>742368910>Microsoft leaks: "We're laying off the equivalent of a small nation state in population">Sony leaks: "We need MORE gay black trannies, and MORE live services in the pipeline! Also, here's a seminar we gave to 3rd parties on how to better get kids addicted to gambling so we can take a 30% cut, and the ps6 will be $1.5k.">Nintendo leaks: "Here's some rad games we haven't shown off yet."
>>742369067>be shadow dropped on Nintendo Todaythis, most likely. we're about to have a Metroid game in late 2026 to early 2027
>>742368730When you get mogged by Mutahar of all people, you really should take time off of the Internet and reflect on what got you there.
Why did Nintendo force Sony to stop releasing physical media?
>>742368018Sony btfo by pizzas
>>742369297Gonna have to be a lot more specific
>>742368137And it's the British account, Sony lost its last fortress
>>742368018Dominos is actually pissed.

>>742369430>Months of using Mat as a bludgeon>Turned around in one single announcementIt just keeps going!
>>742369502Kek, its the cyclops acatar fag pedo snoy
>>742369430Fuck off with this shit, in most cases GKCs are third parties just being cheap fucks.Just because what Playstation is doing is 100 times worse doesn't make it okay for big studios to use them when smaller ones can release games fully on the cart just fine.
Is this how Jeanne d'Arc felt? Because it genuinely feels like there's divine intervention working for us.
>>742368018Even the cheese pizza has turned on Sony.
>>742370017Ok, that is fucking diabolical!
>>742366924>RAMpocalypse making the chase for even higher end graphics virtually suicidalReminds me of a recent interview with Atari CEO Wade Rosen. He describes how Atari sets very conservative budgets for its games. Most are under $1M, nearly all are under $5M. By keeping the budgets low, not only are failures less impactful, the games only need to sell roughly 100,000 copies in the first year to break even. He describes this strategy as "failing toward the light."The costs of development and the hardware necessary to run these big-budget games has ballooned in amount. These big game studios would be wise to build value with smaller budget titles. They won't, of course; oafs in suits are too stubborn to change course now.>>742367887.At this point, I think he enjoys it. Perhaps he's one of those glutton-for-punishment types.>You tendies would all LOVE to torture me, wouldn't you!? Well go ahead! Do your worst!
>>742370017Today I will remind you of
>>742348239>>742348332 >>742348460>>742348640Removing the self inserted editorializing and it'll be perfect
>Still remember whole bitching about MKW being 80 bux>It was actual physical release while console bundle was just 50.Let's be honest that game would be glued to console for most people, but still nice that Nintendo actually gave this option.
man what a week and its only wednesday
>how tendies look at you when you tell them that Sony not doing physical games anymore means the industry is dead
>>742370017
Anyone else think it odd that there's no sticky about the end of physical? If ever there was a time to make a sticky with Komm Susser Todd it would be now. Just goes to show you that this place post-Sharty is a genuine husk.
>>742355203>Why are Game Key Cards bad?Again.Because it still takes up unnecessary space.One of the really nice things about Physical games is the games are on the cart so you don't need to waste space on your SD card downloading the whole thing.Given SD cards have a very limited life and Nintendo is using a new type of SD card with very limited size, it means you get stuck paying hundreds more than you would if publishers just stopped being cheap. Even if they added a $10 surcharge for full physical, it would still be cheaper than more SD cards in the long run.This also encourages devs and publishers to intentionally bloat their games because if you have limited space, you need to delete other games to make room for theirs, making you more likely to just play their game, rather than delete it and redownload the other ones. Which is also a waste of time and resources in of itself.Going full digital like Sony and Microsoft is the worst possible outcome, but that doesn't mean GKCs are good. It's still a concession from physical games that doesn't need to be made.
>>742370425Something I haven't seen mentioned enough is the fact that nintendo announced a bundle a couple of days after they announced their recently price increase.They are aware that the increase is shit and are at least finding ways to mitigate it
>>742370842Devs and publishers asked for this ,not Nintendo.
>>742369198To be fair if your game is over 60gb on the switch, it's shit and it needs to be optimized.Even on PC gook blade is barely 50gb iirc.
>>742370994And? It's still very anti consumer and it adds up.
>>742370974That's how I got my Switch 2 last month.It also meant I got to get MKW, which I would've skipped if I had to get it at $80.
>>742369430Brutally Based
>>742369816fun fact, this is straight up SE being extra greedy because for small games devs can just use switch 1 carts with a switch 2 coat of paintit happened with hades 2 which doesn't even have a switch 1 physical release and it happened with konami with the bomberman collection, both fully in cart
>>742370295>At this point, I think he enjoys it. Perhaps he's one of those glutton-for-punishment types.At this point, it wouldn't surprise me.>The costs of development and the hardware necessary to run these big-budget games has ballooned in amount. These big game studios would be wise to build value with smaller budget titles. They won't, of course; oafs in suits are too stubborn to change course now.This is why I'm still happy that Nintendo game budgets are nowhere near the exorbitant budgets of the usual game developer, even at their highest. They know that one million units sold can be just as impactful as 10 million units sold if you play it right.
>>742371450>They know that one million units sold can be just as impactful as 10 million units sold if you play it right.Yeah, look at some of their other active franchises. Metroid, Star Fox, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc are games where 1M is a success and then you got some of their even smaller budget ones where just half a Million sold is good. Microsoft and specially Sony would never allow more middle of the road releases and would instantly gut and kill the devs for not reaching higher numbers.
>>742344405I genuinely think his shitty karma might kill Playstation at some point
>>742355203Because they still take up memory space and game sizes have only gone up as years went byIt's cool that you can resell GKCs but it doesn't solve the issue of "If I want to get one more game, I'll either need to get rid of games I have for a unspecified amount of time or spend even more money buying a bigger storage space"
Lmao.
>>742371870why do pig steamies like you unironically keep coping about the fact you made the mistake of giving up physical ownership decades ago?suck it up nigggaand reminder nigger third parties demanded key cards to be a thing
>>742355203>>742371870Not to mention updates and patches which take up internal space, even if you do have the physical media, so any future game you want will be competing for space with those
This would be the perfect chance for Nintendo to put pressure on developers to release their games fully on the cart but it probably won't happen.At least we can count on first parties to be real physical games.
>>742371332That's what Marvelous is doing with their games for the Switch 2 where the cart has the Switch version of the game and you download the Switch 2 upgrade if you play it on the Switch 2.Ideal? No. But a lot better than the shit SE, Capcom and other large publishers are doing.
>>742372083>pig steamies Did you pull that assumption from your local schizoI'm just answering the question without attacking anyone in particular
>>742372097The market itself is putting pressure on devs to do so.Which is good mind you.
>>742371815GOOD.
>>742370820Can't have horrible news for Sony actually be on the spotlight.
>>742372097Publishers now have a fuckhuge peer pressure from consumer side. Nintendo have to do fuck all or very little.
>>742372097>>742372402>>742372214We still live in a true capitalist system, publishers will look at GKC's not selling as well as physical carts and go with the take away. "We tried to compromise with GKC but consumers don't want that, so they deserve digital only" >>742370820It's only the end if Nintendo goes digital only. Until that happens, gaming is still alive.
>>742372550>, so they deserve digital only"watch sales crater even harder lmaoif jp aas are doing full in cart releases im not worried, so good fucking riddance to retards that do this like faglus and sega in general, some bamco releases to iirc
All nintendo has to do is casually comment that they let the decision for a gkc or a full cart to the developers
>>742370820>Anyone else think it odd that there's no sticky about the end of physical?Nintendo is still releasing their games in the cart, and considering that the japanese still love their physical media and Nintendo knows this, this won't change in a very, very long time.
>>742372402I think they'll be validated regardless because GTA6 has enough cattle behind it that they'll just go "see, GTA6 went full digital and still sold gazillions"
Predictions for Star Fox tomorrow? Keep in mind, it's never really been a big seller, especially in Japan. I say 100k at most.
>>742372861Realistically GTA VI will sell but it's one of those cases where X thing will sell due to how big it is and anyone else that copies it will be met with failure.
>>742370820lets be honest, wanting everything to be physical is a lost battle ever since steam killed physical pc and internet connection got pretty fastit was only a matter of when it would happen and not ifwith every single government in the world moving towards more strict internet regulation I think they are just speeding up the inevitable
>>742372953I'll be generous and say 60k, but I can see it doing Prime 4 numbers or less since it's a Switch 2 exclusive and Star Fox is not really a popular series in Japan.
>>742372968Well yeah, it's like PokemonThe part I left out is the rest of the industry attempting to do the same and then being baffled and offended that they're not hitting numbers as high as they used to
>>742372953>Keep in mind, it's never really been a big seller, especially in Japan.Posting this for reference.
>>742372953It's doing really really well on the JP eshop, I'd say around 50k.
>>742372953I'll be conservative and say 60k, it's a lower price release so that could swing things digital
>>74237295350k-100k
>>74237295340k tops, realistically 25k, Star Fox is just not big at all there
>>742372953I'm thinking 40k really.
>>742372701There's no point in saying that when the hate crowd are just going to dismiss it with their usual "Nintendo's lying because they're ebil!"
>>742373085>Command sold less than ZeroHow the fuck?
>>742372550Bethesda did 180 from a code in a box for Oblivion Remastered to having the game fully on cart. Guess it’s thanks to Indy selling well
>>742372682Japan cannot be fully relied on either given Square Enix and Atlus are screwing over consumers with Key Cards in Japan too. Or just look at how NIS's collector editions , which normally sell out before release, cratered in sales, because they went with Key Cards for them.If anything small devs and publishers will have the advantage, or outfits like Limited Run Games since they know people want physical games.
>>742373345People turned on Command the second they saw the touch screen dependent movement. and then the story happened.
>>742373085starfox guard was just too early, people now LOVE fucking surveillace camera games.
>>742362584What a loser...
>>74237295388K but it will have no legs for next week
>>742373345Command was pretty jank>Touch controls only>No on-rail missions, it's all just arenas you fly around>The story and straight up character assassination of a good chunk of the cast + the Wtf tier endings
>>742373710>No on-rail missions, it's all just arenas you fly aroundI think the closest you had to that was every time you had to chase down a missile aiming for the Great Fox and there wasn't anything else other than destroying it.
>>742373085It fills my heart with peace knowing most people hate Command. Like in some respect, I don't hate the idea of trying to expand on the characters, but holy fucking shit someone absolutely hated Starfox because you have to actively try to make me hate EVERYONE. Even ignoring the shit endings.
>Everyone crashing and burning>Nintendo is expanding more than everLmao.
>>742345167>>742359515+100 izzat for you sar
>>742374051What, you don't like relationship drama and NTR in your game about furries with spaceships that shoot lasers?
>>742344405So these threads in 2028 are going to be useless? In JP, Nintendo sells digital codes similar to buying gift cards. Are those counted in Famitsu sales? Couldnt Snoy just do the same thing?
>>742344615Damn I just saw the news, what's been the reaction to it so far?
>>742374395>"it's nintendo's fault"
It would be funny if nintendo made an ad about physical games right now lol
>>742374494It would be funny, but Nintendo has better things to do than getting involved in petty console wars, such as make games.
>now the schizo is doomposting about birth ratesDamn, they are fucking desperate and have nothing
>>742374395Here's some samples>>742350596>>742352192>>742352321>>742354010>>742355285>>742360830>>742362584
>>74237295340k
>>742374395MUH NINTENDO.
>>742372083it was no mistake, and we weren't the ones pretending that physical is worth a shit this entire time, that was you, snoygger retard
If MS wants to offload IP and studios, how much you want to bet that they go to Nintendo and give them an offer?
>>742374774Nintendo seems to prefer going after smaller studios after SEGA sniped ATLUS from them.
So it's fair to say now that the reason that GTA 6 is a code is because sony isn't producing any more bluray discs anymore. huh, i just thought about it.
>>742374774The only possible thing I could see Nintendo having an interest in would be Banjo and even then I don't think they would care. They certainly won't want Rare back.
>>742374774Nintendo buys out Rare for pennies compared to what MS paid 25 years ago
>>742344405OH SHIIT!!! HELL YEA FAMITSU SALES BROOOOOOOOOOOOOS. LOVE SEEIN THE NUMBERS GO UP
>Sony shoot themselves in the foot>Xbox shoot themselves in the face>Valve shoot themselves in the stomachJesus, I didn't expect that Switch 2 would become the only viable console after the Wii U
>>742374774Think Nintendo would rather just snipe the talent for Retro
>>742369430cheeky
>>742374880Sea of Thieves is one of the only XBOX products making money so probably not but lord would it be hilarious
>>742374869Maybe they buy rare to maintain it's game in the switch online
you know it makes sense the snoys hate stop killing games so much, sony wants to kill all their games like they did to the movies
>>742375074Well there a rumor since last year that's game divisions would be either sold or closed
>>742369430>>742368018>>742369590>>742371207>>742374975This one tooYou can check it and confirm: it's real
>>742375036>has to rely on a deliberate mistranslation because he's more butthurt than his idol muhammad after a night with the men of al zuttKek
>>742375112why do they follow their leaders so much? i swear they would walk off a cliff if sony told them to
>>742375346That's what I love about the Nintendo socials: they keep the plausible deniability by never directly addressing their peers.
>>742375036Meanwhile in reality.
>>742373467both se and faglus are suffering in sales for this anon, they are getting pretty heavy sales nerfs while other games released the same week see unusually higher numbers to different degrees
>>742375346I very much doubt it's a tongue in cheek post about the recent happenings and it's just something funny that the Twitter person at NoA thought ofIt's not like when Cranky Kong took over their Twitter and spent the whole time dissing game journos
>>742373467Key cards are physical, on top of that people are in fact rejecting key cards in japan whenever possible.For SE shit in particular if there's a switch 1 version it tends to sell just as much if not higher than the key card, when both are in cart the switch 2 one starts to edge ahead.
>>742374880>nintendo buys the banjo ip from microsoft for some pocket lint and then leaves rare to die along with the rest of the xbox divisions
>>742374278>In JP, Nintendo sells digital codes similar to buying gift cards. Are those counted in Famitsu sales?they dont, only if they come in a console bundleotherwise only proper retail boxes do and iirc they may not count code in box either
>>742375709>It's not like when Cranky Kong took over their Twitter and spent the whole time dissing game journosif there's ever a time for a game to have cranky kong make fun of gaming again, it's right now.
>>742375074Sea of Thieves is the sole game that’s keeping the lights on at Rare. If SoT ever falls off, then I can only imagine that MS would either outright kill them off or sell them to a potential buyer, especially since their last game they attempted to make (Everwild) got cancelled after being in development for around half a decade and got rebooted multiple times.

>>742376179fucking kek.
>>742376747>"GKC are WORSE than digital only"
>>742345108Best part is I have it on good authority they're working on DK and MP5 right now lol, that's two more Switch 2 exclusives to add to the list
>>742376596
>>742345694No one bought the game this is a remake of given no one owned an N64, this might as well be a brand new game and they took full advantage of that fact. It worked

Holy shit, how long it has been since this "non stop wave of bad news related to Sony" started? I think we are already two months in.

>>742377136too many such cases
>>742377269Right around when the switch 2 was announced
>>742377291Next you're gonna tell me that George Cacioppo was "framed", right?
>>742377269GTA VI counts as good news, i think.
>>742377136>snoys hates it when you say "pedos are bad"
>>742377414But the "sony" fan example is literally a tendie falseglagger?????????
>>742377127>its xbox's fault that sony is the most evil company!no sony and microsoft have always been practically lock-step in retarded and evil things, microsoft is just a month or so faster so they get all the flak while sony's army of journos and shills damage control for them

>>742377437You are a pedophile
>>742377697>tendies post literal proof that they're violent bigotsThis is supposed to make you look better??????????
Oh look, he's running his usual defenses as if they'd fix the fact Sony has decided to completely give up on consoles and the industry by torching themselves.

>>742378196was this also at the building where they store the 50 million PS2s and all the marathon players having a blast?
You don't hate Snoys enoughor as much as God does
>>742367926There won't be any physical games. At all. You can't make one without Sony approving of it. And if Sony isn't making physical games ever again, then the barrierstation 6 won't have a disc drive.Which in turn also means it wont be backwards compatible with your PS5 and 4 discs
>>742378196You just say anything don't you?Truth is completely optional in your eyes and you only suffer further for doing this.
>>742368730Good point spicster, but does Sony have exclusives?
>>742359737It's the schizos last chance to look at the famitsu thread with (made up) PS5 games and sony winning as his eyes start to tear up knowing that it will never happen and it's going to be years of 30/30s
>>742352196I thought you were exaggerating but wow, it really looks like an upscaled Sun and Moon. Even 3R looks better
>overpriced "third party consoles">overpriced online subscription>they keep raising the price for both the console and online>LGBT pandering>shit controllers>no exclusives>zero ownershipThere's literally no reason to keep buying a Playstation or Xbox over the switch outside of games looking and running slightly better. Nintendo won
>>742378417>it wont be backwards compatible with your PS5 and 4 discs"time to double dip" Snoys buying their games again on digital
>>742377773>fag harasses child for playing Nintendo>the parents aren't supposed to protect their child from a clearly retarded and belligerent dumbassThe fact their is no mention of a lawsuit only means the dumbass had no legitimate leg to stand on because they caused the problem for the family.
>>742352802They'll literally just make people double dip 9 months after Metaphor, that's their plan. Reload on Switch 2 alone did around a million
>>742352196Maybe the wrong thread for it, but threads dead anyways, never got into persona but I like jrpgs, should I start with 3, 4, or 5?
>ps6 will literally be just a digital boxWhy can't snoy stop shooting themselves?
>>742378782Start with P3 either reload or FES (emulated). Avoid the portable version
>>742378057I don't believe itThere's no way Sony cultists will ever be again Sony, if anything they will just deflect to Nintendo and Microsoft againRemember: at the end of the day a Sonyģğēr will always be a Sonyğĝër
>>742370842>>742371870You never complained about this before, and from what I read you're not going to complain about Sony making it so you have to delete one of your two 500gb games when you want to buy a new one (digital only, physical is kill)
I like it when he tries to take the moral high ground when we all know what he actually thinks and says.

>everyone in this thread was saying there was going to be monumentally bad news for snoys due to the schizo power of causing Sony harm>it actually happenedHOLY SHIT
>>742377704>>742379348And from a literal who that had pitiful metrics.
>>742356546That's funny because Furukawa specifically said that starting April 2026 they raised base salaries, he just didn't see by how much. Even 1% is better than being laid off like the other two are doing
>>742379502THIS is the guy all the snoys have been using as their info? THIS GUY!?
>>742379619Yes. He barely got 100 Likes but there's been thousands of posts about it here.
>>742379682lol what the fuck are they doing? this is absolutely embarrassing
>>742379502>only 100 likesHmmmmmmm...
>Whines and cries about data being incorrect but goes balls deep on some random indian guy on twitter >Has to hallucinate an entire famitsu thread when Sony won because he knows the end is coming soon>Hallucinates hanging out with his virtual friends in GTA6 going fishing and hanging out at clubs
>>742379502>snoys here are stalking literal whos jeets on tweeter
>>742379682>>742379564Yes and they're are doing all this shit while that one schizo is trying to do the "both sides are bad" and "tendies are the new snoys"
>>742379502Meanwhile, in reality, stores are saying gta isnt doing too hot
I don't believe in karma, but man....Ever since that guy showed up and started doing his "- karma to ziony" thing, it has been nothing but bad news and public humiliations for sony
>>742379782Is like I said before: they are going through all the first four stages of grief at once except for the fifth one: acceptance
>>742379297They turned it into a point-and-click visual novel game because it was made for the PSP though the tartarus exploration and battle system remained unchanged. The only good thing that P3P has over the other versions is that you can play as the female MC where you'll get different social links
>>742379782>>Has to hallucinate an entire famitsu thread when Sony won because he knows the end is coming soonwant to know a funny thing? even in the final swan song crazy numbers, the best selling pis5 is just 35k sales a week and barely over a million lifetimeeven in terminal lucidity hallucinations, snoys don't buy games
>>742380000>quads of truthwitnessed
>>742379782>Hallucinates hanging out with his virtual friends in GTA6 going fishing and hanging out at clubsThe funny thing is, he literally can't. Rocksaar said it's single player only. GTA Online 2 is where he can do that. Also I'm willing to bet that there are people preordering expecting it to come with online and not be a separate purchase
>>742380248>Also I'm willing to bet that there are people preordering expecting it to come with online and not be a separate purchaseImagine spending 100 dollarinos for a code in a box + an auto renewing subscription and still not getting the Online game.
>>742380248>Also I'm willing to bet that there are people preordering expecting it to come with online and not be a separate purchaseIt doesn't come with GTA6? GTA Online 2 isn't coming out this year?
>>742379782>>Hallucinates hanging out with his virtual friends in GTA6 going fishing and hanging out at clubsSeems to be a common thing with snoys, in the recent CHwank thread a guy went on a full fanfic. >>742367386>>742367830>>742367991
