It doesn't have to get as big as steam. They have multiple avenues. They're selling software and services on iOS and android. They want people in their ecosystem no matter where they like to game.but you gotta have the hardware to buy software and use it's services. Windows 10 gaming isn't Steam, so it's not exactly doing anything right now. When Windows 10 gaming becomes as big as Steam(if), then that "play anywhere" thingy would come in handy but so far it's barely doing anything.
When a game like ROTR sells 98% of it's sales on Steam and 2% on Windows 10, this "the money is in software and services" speech looks shaky because ain't nobody using your service so you're fighting an uphill battle. Quantam Break comes out flopping on Xbox and they're talking about "Play Anywhere!". Well, nobody is playing there though
Scorpio shyt all over Neo, it's fact. PS4 got those damn games though.
I'm not talking about them having multiple streams of revenue. That would've happened regardless of whether they were behind or not. Everyone is doing that nowadays. What i mean is, they're still clearly into making consoles for the long run. Them announcing two consoles yesterday showed that they think they can still catch up in that field. What they need is to effectively "hype" people up. It doesn't matter whether the product is actually innovative or ground breaking, is it selling? Are people talking about it? They seem to always get overshadowed every year. Look at Uncharted 4, whether or not you like the series or not, you heard about it. People heard about it everywhere. It was the game to be talked about. May NPD comes out and it's the number one selling game in America both physically and on PSN.
They don't need to "catch up" in order to be successful, and they only get overshadowed here in Sony Stan land.
but why would sony drop with lower specs knowing what MS just announced...will the sony stans now say it doesnt matter ? makes no sense to me if you tryna 1up ya comp (as far as hardware is concerned)
).
so we dont got new ip's recore and scalebound ? man just stfu if you gonna hate at least hate right dumb ass nikka like sony not droppin another god of war and possibly another last of us and didnt just drop another uncharted boy yall stupid man
Lol, making consoles aren't like it's just a box sitting around and they watching E3 and they like: "Oh shyt they using these parts!? We gotta upgrade fast!"
your opinion i cant argue with you nikkas forever about the same shyt we'll never be on the same page nor do i care to be i got both systems i like the games ps4 has to offer on the SP side of things but when we're talking about MP no MP game is touching it idc if xbox had another exclusive MP shooter that wouldnt touch gears either MP wise i could sit here and tell you all the things that are different about G4 but you and whoever that just doesnt like gears for whatever reason (mostly because yall suck at it MP wise yea i said it) or its just not your cup of tea and i could sit here and talk about how BF1 and COD drop every year and dont really change shyt but then yall would just act like im talking out my ass so it is what it is we'll never agree idc about stan wars cuz i got both systems what im telling yall is MP wise no game anywhere on this planet is touching gears 4 idgaf what system its on
Relax breh
Let's be real, what looks like a newer game all around?
God of War 4 or Gears 4? I know you a Gears stan but keep it 100, Gears 4 looks like the same old shyt. They said themselves they playin it safe and just making something that won't be too different. I know you gonna spaz out and start naming new weapons/characters but you know what I mean breh. Gears 4 is just another Gears while God of War 4 is completely new in design and gameplay.
God of War 4 looks completely new in every aspect.
yeah they dropped UC4 last month but The Last of Us was a new IP from the dev. Where's the new IP from the Gears devs?? Where's the new IP from Halo devs? Killzone devs got Horizon Zero Dawn coming out. Insomniac making Spider-Man. Quantic Dreams(heavy Rain) making Detroit. Meanwhile Microsoft barely got their own devs making new franchises, it's just the same shyt(Halo, Gears, Forza.) We not talking about 3rd party exclusives like Scalebound or Recore which are only exclusive due to deals.
Cerny probably got his notepad ready and started toI wasn't aware the Neo got announced....price, specs, look, etc.
That is generally how most console only gamers should look at this.
