I thought about this before, when Sony sold their streaming rights to NetfliX, that Sony Pictures should put their films/shows in PS+ given that Ps+ has a big amount of active subscribers (more than 100 million). But what they are doing in Poland might be a little different.
Yeah, strange that this has come up just after they sign away rights for a bunch of stuff to Netflix and Disney. It's a very nice bonus for gamers if the cost stays the same, but not sure the games will attract many of the Netflix crowd who don't already play games though.I thought about this before, when Sony sold their streaming rights to NetfliX, that Sony Pictures should put their films/shows in PS+ given that Ps+ has a big amount of active subscribers (more than 100 million).

People should be able to stream Sony TV shows/movies in Ps+ without paying eXtra. That would attract more people to the service .
I think adding extra cost to ps+ for the movies/shows would just shy away potential new customers especially they need a ps5 to access the service. And I don't see most gamers upgrading their ps+ just to watch movies/shows from Sony, especially if they already have netfliX.Yeah, strange that this has come up just after they sign away rights for a bunch of stuff to Netflix and Disney.

PS5 could outsell PS4, I feel like it should, given the record breaking sales. However I wasn't referring to PS5' outselling PS4's all time sales. I was clearly referring if it would outsell PS2.I think ps5 will out sale ps4. Yes ps5 compared to ps4 is only .2 million ahead and yes what you said is true about like demand being up because of covid and such but covid has also slowed down the rate they can make the consoles or it would be a lot higher than just the .2 million difference. Also I dont know if ps4 will catch ps2 in sales but just because ps5 is out dosnt mean that ps4 will not sale any more. Ps2 sold some more even after ps1 and same with ps3 after 2 and 4 after 3. So ps4 should get to at least 130 million. One thing I think did hurt ps4 sales was the pro not having a 4k player in it. I never got a pro but if it would have had a 4k player in it I would have and I am sure some other people fell the same.

I think the PS5 being such an obstacle to get, might possibly be helping the Series X to get an increase in sales, as I know people who wanted a PS5 ended up getting the Series X because they couldn't get the PS5 right away. How many people are really going to buy two new gen consoles? Most people would settle to just one. While Switch is on its way to possibly outsell PS4 and if the rumoured new Switch comes out this year or neXt year, it would probably be a big seller as well. I feel like the PS5 have more competition now with the Series X and the Switch. Whereas PS4's competitors were the X1 and the WiiU. While PS2's competition (Xbox, Dreamcast, Gamecube) didn't even clear 30 million if I'm not mistaken.
I honestly don't see a Xbox console ever outselling any PS console. This won't change this generation. Xbox 360 is the closest with a few millions away from PS3.It's true that switch sales are great and it is outpacing the ps4 and with still having games like botw2, splatoon 3, metroid prime 4, bayoneta 3 its sales will likely not start to fall of threw at least 2022/23. But I think when it comes to ps5 and XSX it will be even more one sided than ps4 and xbox one where. Ps4 has out sold XSX around 2-1. I think ps5 will out sale XSX like 3-1 maybe even 4-1. A lot of people that liked xbox are sick of xbox after last gen and having like no games and microsoft said that XSX will not have any exclusive the first 2 years it will be all cross gen. Now ps5 on the other hand will at minimum will have astro bots, demon souls, GT7, Gow ragnork, returnal, ratchet and clank rift apart, all in the first 2 years and I may be forgetting a few.

However this article:
PS5 vs Xbox Series X Sales: Who Is Winning the 2021 Console War So Far? | Den of Geek
Stated that Series X might have sold more than 5 million copies by now... I don't know if I believe that. But still given everything against Series X (no eXclusives, lack in console eXclusives, less hype, Series X is more eXpensive internationally like in my country), this console just won't go away because they have a loyal amount of customers. And they are using Game Pass and the installment plan for Series X to persuade peoppe to buy Series X. Based on reports, Series X is actually doing much better than X1's 1st year. Though the sales might be frontloaded similar to the Ps5.
Its really going to be interesting what are the over sales 4 to 5 years from now.Yeah I dont see xbox even being close to Sony. Ps3 came out a year after xbox 360 and was 100 more and had a lot of issues with Multiplatform games the first like 2 years or so because of the cell chip and yet ps3 still slightly out sold xbox 360. I see no reason to get a xbox sx has ever thing on xbox worth playing you can play on other consoles. Cuphead and the 2 ori games where like the best games the one had and now those you can play on the switch and outside of halo, gears and Forza I cant remember the last time a xbox exclusive got good reviews. Xbox is more powerful than ps5 yet it some how runs a lot of games worse than ps5. So really xbox has zero going for it. Spiderman 2, Horizon forbidden west, GOW ragnaork etc will all move systems.

I feel like every generation had consoles that flopped or weren't just lighting up the sales. I am curious to see if there will be consoles that will be the "WiiU, PsVita, Dreamcast or even the XboX One" of this gen. And I do think Stadia/Luna might have taken that spot even though they aren't really consoles.
From Wikipedia its 50 million, idk how accurate that is. Last month, i remember it was in the late 40s. But still a noticeable drop from 360's 80+ million.Xbox one has sold like 55 million so not close to the level of Wii U where it only sold like 14 million or something but I expect that XSX will do even less than the xbox one I think it will only do like 30 million.

Though I will say the one thing against Series X is the lack of strong launch titles. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is playable in Ps5. I just don't know any new game other than Medium that is only playable through Series X and PC right now. Ps5 seems to be pumping out new console eXclusive every other month.
Also, I didn't know China is only getting the ps5 in May
PlayStation 5 Launches in China on May 15, Pre-Orders Sell Out Quickly
Ps5 should get a massive sales boost from that.
Series X selling 30 million would be similar to Xbox One's sales drop from 360.Xbox one has sold like 55 million so not close to the level of Wii U where it only sold like 14 million or something but I expect that XSX will do even less than the xbox one I think it will only do like 30 million.
I was so blown away by the latest trailer alone that I vowed not to watch any gameplay clips, I've had a bad habit of spoiling games for myself. Anyway I'm happy to hear that the planets look bigger and the weapons aren't just copy pasted from Future games. My only gripe is the lack of space travel as I felt that it was a cool feature and could've been improved further with the new hardwareThat ratchet and clank state of play sure was something. The planets look a lot bigger and look like there is a lot more going on than before and some of the new weapons look great and some of the features in the game just looks so so good.
It’s a shame how magazines had to end in the era of the internet. I used to love gaming magazines including this one particularly during the SNES and PS1 days.
I didn't even realize there is still one until like last week when I was saw it on Wikipedia. Then this news came today.It’s a shame how magazines had to end in the era of the internet. I used to love gaming magazines including this one particularly during the SNES and PS1 days.
Newspapers like books I think will be around forever. Newspapers cover lots of topics and probably cheaper to produce unlike magazines with glossy/matte paper.In this day and age not just for video games but news in general magazine dont really matter. I keep saying I have like no idea how news papers are even still a thing any more I guess because older people still read them.
That's a shame. The Official US Playstation Magazine was my favorite during the PS2 era. Even though the internet was very much a thing in the early 2000s, that magazine was the best place for in-depth information about games like GTA. I think I still have the specials for Vice City and San Andreas somewhere.
