So retail-wise, DD2 performed 22% of the sales of its predecessor in their initial week.
I'm fucking confused. Doesn't the base PS5 ALREADY have ray tracing? They're *still* not targeting a baseline 60 FPS for all games? They're only upscaling to 4K?
This is pretty funny lol
Gamers: please pay $900 for a barely noticeable difference in how games look

Up to be seen if the new CEOs (both the interim and the definite one later) will turn things around, but it will take a long time before setting things right again regardless.
All three of those were things I thought were just fundamentally a part of the base PS5. A constant 60fps? A decade ago I was getting 1080p60 on just about everything on a midrange GPU, no sweat.
There is absolutely no reason anything short of an insane novelty physics sandbox should be getting less than 60fps on any hardware from the 2020s. I can understand something loco like Beam.NG Drive tanking down to single digits if you spawn 1,000 cars and have them all run into each other, but GTA isn't some magical super-duper game that should be able to make even a PS5 Pro buckle. If that's the case, how's it gonna look on an Xbox Series S? Is that gonna have it running at 720p 15fps?
S5pro. Why even bother buying it? It's a complete waste of money. Just buy a PC.
I think it's been linked here, but the Interim CEO believes in mobile gaming monetization. So... bad times are probably gonna get worse.
I can't wait for them to pour a shitload of money into some stupid gacha game, only to wind up losing it all because gacha whales already have their favorite waifus.
Never mind that China and Korea don't really give two shits about character designs offending people because they know where the money is. Sony is still beholden to the Western Social Credit system, it'd be like coming from a wet t-shirt contest to a pig auction.
Now I’m imaging Sony’s attempt of a waifubait gacha game, but the waifus are SM2 Mary Jane, Abby, and the girl from Horizon. Thanks a lot.
Imagine someone spending hundreds for LR Abby.
Joke's on you, I'm gonna roll Mary Jane (Crimson Chin Variant), sell it and live like a king.
Holy fuck, FF7 Rebirth dropped down to 8th and it still hasn't passed FF16's week 1 sales of 336k.
If it keeps slowing down, FF7 Rebirth might not even break FF16's week 1 sales after 2 months. What an embarrassment.
Square's management definitely saw the writing on the wall with how bad FFXVI flopped on PS5 which explains why they renegotiated their Sony contract and changed Rebirth to a (supposedly) three month timed exclusive, and they were clearly in the right for doing so going by how bad the game is selling right now.
It doesn't help that people are finally catching on to how shit their games have been for the last 20 years.
