@NEStalgia hey thanks very intelligent reply. i didnt follow ps4 gen (im more into ps1 rpgs and vita, mirrors edge....) but i REALLY like your point about when to inject the gold or to sit on it to offer something substantial (but confuse your loyalists apparently). yeah it could be again that nintendo that cashes on minor changes and rereleases... nintendo really wants to keep steady offerings for the insatiable gamers yet stay in the blue ocean strategy from iwata and keep the dogbone fighting to ms and sony. im tired of console wars. i think xbox or microsoft just wants peace and unite the four worlds. starting with pc. I have a big glass monolith pillar at home and it displays the entire history of gaming. I have/had also all consoles except ps4 (went to xbox one). in hindsight I love all time periods and games released. this nextgen would be also a memory to cry for. my mood just swings through timeperiod and consoles. and sometimes i just only want to play the latest. luckily its not all different kinds of water from a holy mountain from paradise xp
@BlueOcean yeah confusing indeed. it doesn’t feel right to throw money for a timed-exclusivity. if that will really work. people can wait. or is sony hoping people can’t read and/or are lazy and take the first/quickest option to get the game?? maybe young gamers are very impulsive and impatient so buy to be the first. i’m still like that a bit.
@NEStalgia haha feel your pain, im not in the samen boat (im waiting for tuesday next week XOSX preorder, but can imagine your doubt). monster hunter rise announcement today for the nintendo switch made me more hyped then the graphics shower in the ps5 showcase.. it made me dream about botw2 and metroid4 from retrostudios. im also very curious about nintendo’s move to replace their 3rd of march 2017 switch with a modern 2021 switch. I have the feeling nintendo has some hidden surprises.
@BlueOcean thanks, really wanted to know this. it feels awesome to be able play lots of games for a year knowing a next gen final fantasy releases after that. it gives a nice gap to bridge.
as someone who have ps1 full original rpg collection, a solid ps2 collection and many fun hours on ps3, and still on my psVita, i was left with a playstation burnout. I decided to switch to xbox one instead of a ps4. the green camp felt different and more a rest in the shadows then the playstation sun if that makes sense.
now i stick with xbox series x and the xbox camp the green camp, and stay there see it through the end. no fiber in my body that has doubts about playstation. playstation were great, nintendo were great, but i cannot go back to them. xbox with gamepass has a flow that i can subscribe to and no worries about buying games either. im just dead tired of the other camps, whatever hat-tricks and circusact they will perform.
I have a big enough backlog to use the time during the timedexclusive wisely, beating my backlog. I have no worries. Everwild looks miles more interesting then the cliche’d ff16. ff 7 and 8 already scrapped the bar.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Model Wouldn't Make Financial Sense For PS5, Says CEO Jim Ryan
@S1ayeR74 haha this .
xbox nailed it. future is subscription flow. no physical no counting hairs.
its bold and strong to include first party games from xbox. i rather have a reliable ON then some tiresome shopping of $80 games.
