How will Sony even compete? These prices and performance paired with game pass and ea play. You can't find a better deal anywhere.
Fifa fans are happy, xbots are happy, pc gamers are happy, everyone is happy except for the movie gamer.
How will Sony even compete? These prices and performance paired with game pass and ea play...
They can't they stole FIFA & generic trash AAA blockbuster away. This is where the big bucks are at, unfortunately.
It's basically over. Sony is dead upon arrival. They can cling onto movie experiences until the casuals abandon them for the next MCU trend.
Come out 50 bucks cheaper
Make PSNow comparable to Gamepass
Get exclusive Soulsgames, superhero games, and party games
Make new titles that capitalize on new trends
>How will Sony even compete?
Not a console war fan, and i don't stand on either side anyway cause I'm happy on PC(even though i'd like to play some console exclusives, ngl), but how is this even a question?
What makes you think that if Microsoft can release Series X and S at 499 and 299, Sony can't do the exact same prices for their disc drive and non-disc drive options of PS5?
To me, there's no reason to think they can't especially when people used to say the same about XBOX, that there was no way Microsoft would release Series X at less than 600, and that Series S would be at least 400, yet here we are.
This is a legit question, if there's any reasonable logic on why you think Sony can't do the exact same prices, let me know cause i dont see it.
>What makes you think that if Microsoft can release Series X and S at 499 and 299, Sony can't do the exact same prices for their disc drive and non-disc drive options of PS5?
Sony may very well match $499, but the Series S is not just a digital Series X; it has lower specs. Hence the $299 price. The digital PS5 is just a PS5 without a disc drive. They would have to take a big loss to match these prices. They may not want to.

$499/299 was a common prediction, given the specs of each console. It was never guaranteed, and some people guessed higher, but this outcome wasn't a shock to anyone paying attention.

By having games
What games?
$500 would already be a loss for Sony, they can't do $450 except maybe with their digital only.
Psnow will never compete, souls games are on evert platform now, superhero shit has been done better by WB a third party for the last decade, and party games are just shitty fotm trash nobody buys a console for them
>but the Series S is not just a digital Series X; it has lower specs.
Then both PS5 versions would only need to compete with Serie X and Serie S doesn't pose a real threat because by definition it's not as powerful as both PS5 and Serie X, so even if Sony were to make PS5 disc and no disc at 499 and 399, they'd still be well in competition.
About the prediction, looking around i see more or less the same about PS5, so again I don't see a logic reason to thing "Sony can't even compete"...they can, maybe they won't, maybe they will, but they surely can.
Sony doesn't have money to burn like Microsoft does. Microsoft is running their gaming division at a loss to fuck over Sony and get back market share.
>$200 more just to play physical
The Series S is a threat because it plays next-gen games with the same graphics and performance, just not at 4K, which requires a lot of GPU power. For many people this drawback won't be a problem because they still have 1080p TVs. So the Series S will play a role in people's decision about what console to get. Many may forego God of War and Horizon to jump into next-gen for just $299.
>discs in 2020
okay grandpa
just get game pass and be happy
Building a 3080 PC and I'll still probably buy a $299 Series S for the living room. Spencer won.
Every console releases at a loss initially. Then they streamline the process and make bank on games and license rights
I'm expecting Sony to have inflated prices at this point.
Lol what are you implying?
If the Series S last me 7 years I'm getting it.
>What is backwards compatibility?
That a Spiderman expansion to a ps4 game and a bundle in ASTRO game can push units
a thing you can do on the Xbone S for even cheaper
>3080 PC
>hacked switch
>series S for living room
the new ultimate trio? snoyfags on suicide watch
how is having to rebuy your old xbox games digitally on XS even cheaper than just toss a disc in and play on XX?
>inb4 cause 299
499 + 0 for each game i already own is way less than 299 + 20-30 for each game i already own
not series s
Xbone s
does all the same shit and you can get one for like $100
>just give up your rights
It will most likely be 399 and 499
>does all the same shit and you can get one for like $100
>XBONES(used or new) for less than what people sell used PS3/360
yeah no you can't
And a 3x better gpu and twice as much storage
It will be fine, it’ll sell for 499 and it has brand loyalty by its drones
Sounds based so long as you buy the S on the monthly plan so you get the console, XBL, Gamepass and EA access/play all in one bundle
xbox could launch at $99 and people would still buy a $500 playstation to play walking sims
Sony competes by releasing games people actually like. Crazy I know. It doesn't matter how much Zig Forums shits on Trannies of Us or every other generic 3rd person action game, normalfags eat that shit up and that's why the PS4 sold 100+ million units and Xbone floundered.
All normalfags care about is fucking cheapest price and to play Fortnite, CoD and watch netflix retarded snoyfag
Normalfags would probably buy a PS4 for Fifa, COD and Rockstar games
Now post yours, xbot
>Sony competes by releasing games people actually like
Explain yourself. Third parties in general nowadays are all about multiplat and Sony's exclusives are notably just boring movie games. And keep in mind that from Last Tranny Shit of Us 2 and forward it's going to be Sony California in charge. Their movies will be tranny shit, feminist shit, diversity shit, etc. All the same garbage that is helping Hollywood suffer. So there is no merit in Sony's exclusives. I wouldn't be surprised if the Leftists from Insomniac Games reveal the new lombax girl from Ratchet and Clank is another tranny (and parents won't be happy to see such a thing in a kid's game).
