Mighty News Thread Number 9: No Silksong in Mudville

that was Concord, not Several. You could be forgiven for forgetting that already tho, since it was just 14(?) days on the market :melting_face:

Ugh why is it still shaped so badly!

That’s the only thing that would make me consider the upgrade.

also also, that’s 699$ for naked PS5, plus (x?) for the vertical stand, plus (y??) for the external disc drive
 could that be closer to 900 than 800, one could wonder :kissing:

as a PS5 owner this is annoying to me, but it sure does feel like this is the Sony 32x

Actually I think this is Sony’s Dreamcast (read: last gasp of producing hardware before they just decide to go software only), but it won’t be as fondly remembered

they are in a way worse position to try to stop than Microsoft though (for example, their storefronts etc. do not belong anywhere else), they are really cornered, they can’t try to maintain this fictional version of high end that’s way below a $$$ PC and way above most people’s expectation for a console

would have been smarter to just try to ship the DLSS features in the same performance envelope with a shrink and make that the Slim to try to hold the same price point (non-US and non-EU markets are taking even more of a beating than we are)

like they’re even fucking up the “well if you really want to buy UHD discs there are worse ways into the ecosystem” angle here

a PS5 Slim with DLSS for $500 would’ve actually looked compelling against the Series S and Series X, the dingdongs

I’m telling ya, the PlayStation division of Sony is going to get axed/spun off and acquired by the end of the decade.

MS and Sony are both massive corporations that do many other things and it is not a given that either will see the value in a games division in perpetuity, especially if the way forward they’re choosing is all-in on the highest risk+reward titles.

i have literally never seen a ps5 in the wild in a store nor have i ever seen it in stock online, the only people i know who have one had to really move heaven and earth to get it within the launch window and since then i’ve literally never heard of any place getting one, so the idea that they would release another more expensive one is two vowels and one chris bridges away from being totally ludicrous

i really liked my xbox series x at the time but right now it’s just gathering dust, i don’t have the desire to play any new games anymore that you can’t get on a handheld device

astro bot more like scalper bot
