I hope the best for PlayStation, they are doing many things well. In my taste this is not one of them, and I'm glad Xbox skipped the mid-gen refresh altogether (at least, that's what it seems).

But, PS5 Pro leave a lot of questions on the table:
Is this the price we need to be prepared on the future?

How could these hardware sell if it's that complicated to show their advantages in YouTube, TV ads?

Is this the end of pursuing high-end graphics, that are moving away consoles from a convenient and relatively cheap way to play games, appealing to the mass market?

We will see.

A lot of Candy Crush players in Asia.

@InterceptorAlpha I didn't know there was another version, I'm confused. Could you elaborate?

@deadmaker Yes. 60fps VRR.

A lot of ads of things we already know. Some titles from small developers, including the inevitable GaaS. Pixel Remasters are welcome.

Both Mana are a cool addition for Game Pass, but something stronger was missing.

Lunar is almost a World Heritage Site. It would be a crime not releasing in every possible platform.

Great news.

Good. Every company is called to incorporate social responsibility in the core of their businesses.

I hope streaming could work in the lowest energy consumption option, but I understand it is asking something not possible.

Tempted for another run, but guessing if I better wait for the 1.7, 1.8 or whatever the final update would be. Fantastic game.

I don’t trust Jez Corden as insider. But, if this is the scenario I’ll wait to see the difference in performance to trade my Series X for the new console or just buy the handheld.

Anyway, I’m satisfied with Xbox and I’ll continue with them next gen.

I guess it’s VII Remake and Pixel Remasters coming. That would be cool.

Now, you are playing with power!

TGS is coming with great news for Game Pass! Hold on, guys! I can feel it!

Yeah, sure.

Cool. Bought it. It looks like a simple and relaxing puzzle game. I love these games between some heavy ones.

Yeah, I noticed that. I have been tempted with ROG Ally X, but I'm waiting for the Microsoft Surface handheld to make a decision.

I'm good for now with a Series X. Waiting for the next Xbox step to take decisions.

Crazy price, but I wouldn't be blaming Sony so fast. Just look at the prices of PC components, for example. We are paying more for less, even on services, and it's getting worse.

New Switch would be $499, probably. $700 could be a preview of what to expect with the next Xbox and PlayStation.

I played Broken Sword on Nintendo DS. I understand it's a huge classic. Need to revisit it at some point with this new presentation.

@GADG3Tx87 you could send an email to Microsoft with your global market analysis, maybe they declare you CEO.

@armondo36 sure. They were using a very small team with trainees and external assistances. Now these trainees have been promoted to tasks in SoD3. It’s that.

Look, Concord took 8 years on the making. State of Decay 3 is on the way to be a real game, it takes time.

@armondo36 No, they have been focused on 3, off course. The last SoD2 updates came from an auxiliary studio: Wushu.

They just are moving some last resources to the next installment. We don't know what kind of resources are those, and we don't know in which phase of development they are.

Cheers! they have space for improvement. It's a good game, it just needs more polish.

It should be a pain in the ass to work with those Enotria guys. Now, they are happy because they talked to the manager!

Fantastic. This series is very welcome in Xbox. JRPGs for life!

¡Grande Capcom! So many good moments thanks to these guys.

Slime Rancher 2 never left Game Preview. Weird. Such a shame.

Things like these are common in every industry. Imagine Dick Rowe, the guy who rejected The Beatles.

Cool. SE has released games like Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, Dragon Quest XI S, or Visions of Mana on Xbox.

So, I will believe in their words, expecting to see more FF, and maybe titles like Harvestella on the green.

Fantastic. Order of Ecclesia is my favorite all-time Castlevania. It's always waiting for me in a DSi XL for a new run.

@BHPM I love the DS, and I agree with you. It's the best way to experience these games. But, it's great they are now available to more people.

@DarthAmmii sharing problems and help has always been part of gaming magazines and communities.

It's looking very good. I hope to see more of the third person mode at some point.

“New missions set almost entirely across a single planet”. This sounds good.

Aaron Greenberg needs to reevaluate their marketing strategy, urgently. It’s not possible that after an event like this, your brand is in worse perception than before. What the heck.

Instead of talking about the games, now we are talking about how Xbox is damaging users confidence.

Aaron, please.

It’s just the current strategy. They release “incomplete” games, then when players numbers decline, they drop an update, and everyone is talking about your game again.

That Galaxy Black is so sexy. I love those starry themes, like the purple galaxy 3DS. There's a starry theme in PS Vita I have in my home, as well.

Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon? Cool, the board game is great and I've heard good things about the videogame.

I think it's important this minimum level of transparency and communication. Specially in current times of commotion in Xbox.

Users have been mentally setted to value console units sold and exclusives as the only and successful way to operate in this business. It has been a lot of years and propaganda to accept that culture, and that's rapidly changing.

It looks like the business is running him.

Nice. Great colaboration. And that game is on track to be great.

@Markatron84 Well, that's true. I'm talking for me, to be honest. Not my best fortnight.

@Markatron84 yeah. Less games, and not the best ones.

Geoff Keighley? Hard pass.

@Doomcrow You are always leaving Xbox.

Well, finally I bought them on Switch. Still, a Xbox version would be good.

More e-waste, straight to your eyes. Everywhere. A new form of pollution.

Different businesses models. That’s all.

Nice. Xbox is a great ecosystem I'm confortable with, and I'm happy to continue with that relationship, specially if the portable console is real.

My current Series X is working without problem and I don't see myself upgrading in the next years.

This guy is 100% smoke. Boring!

@Raw_Dawg don’t get me wrong, I love Stardew Valley. What I’m seeing in these two titles is generic mobile art direction, cheap assets, and lack of unique or differentiating elements.

Not the quality I expect. And I'm not talking about AA/AAA, there are high quality indies, these look like mobile games.

Bought FH4 Ultimate, and Samurai Shodown (plus its season passes).
