I find it interesting how PS4 takes top billing over PS5, but Xbox Series is listed before One. Maybe it’s just a numbers thing?

That particular site isn't old enough to have covered Persona 5 when it was new, but I googled "Persona 5 is now available" "PS3", and it seemed to be a 50/50 mix on articles that gave PS3 top billing, and PS4 top billing. So I figure it's just because we're all used to counting numbers upwards. HLTB lists players of LAD:IW as 53% PC, 36% PS5, but only 3% PS4. https://howlongtobeat.com/game/113583

few people upgraded to the ps5, choosing to stay with the PS4 which has a larger library than the PS5 and can play 90% of PS5 games.

The X1 sold abysmally and Series is selling better. I believe the Series S is the reason.

I believe we are seeing the very early stages of a platform war between console and PC. MS and Sony know they've killed the console market and are teaming up to keep the console market going.
R* launching on current gen only says a great deal and I wonder what was paid for that deal.
 
I'm just surprised that rockstar is still considered a benchmark maker for newer generation hardware, after how GTA5 turned out. I won't deny that several hundreds of streamers made personal fortunes streaming it or GTA online, but as far as a good game worth replaying I do not agree, specially compared to GTAIV or san andreas.

Series is actually lagging One significantly in what week to weeks have been released.

@augment GTAV/O is the most profitable media property of all time, and continues to weasel its way onto best seller lists to this day. That's why.
 
whatever I feel like said:
Those pedobait idolmaster games were (and are) huge among Japanese otaku. The 360 in Japan was a weeb machine since it had Japanese indie titles on XBLA that Playstation didn't allow on. And I think it had less censorship too?

Yes, that was the primary reason why 5pb games were released initially only on the 360. I think the PS3 got a little bit more lax as other games like Gal Gun and Steins;Gate landed years after the fact. But Sony has always been kind of shit to third parties when it comes to censorship

Stop following me around spreading shit around like an institutionalised autistic little weirdo.

five fucking seconds in google:

Sales of Xbox Series X|S consoles have picked up in Japan, with the company reportedly shifting 206,504 units over its lifetime. The data comes from Famitsu (via VGC), which also reported that the current generation has vastly outsold the preceding Xbox One, which sold approximately 114,831 consoles in total

Microsoft’s new director of Japan partnerships is trying to reverse years of failure. Market researcher Famitsu estimates that Xbox has sold just over 500,000 units of its latest consoles in Japan

I'm interested in PSSR, 300 tops is pretty good and the bump in GPU performance is nice, especially the RT perf, but I don't see the PS5 Pro doing 4K/60 much less 8K/anything. Everyone is talking about the less than impressive CPU bump but the issue isn't even the specs it's the dogshit devs and their shitty software. Nothing this gen has justified the hardware cost. The PS5/Xbox X are relatively powerful machines yet they are running games that don't look any better than last gen and at sub 720p 25 to 30fps to boot.

Compare something like Jedi Survivor to it's last gen prequel Fallen Order. How did Respawn get such an awful looking game at such poor framerates? How will a modest jump in GPU performance fix the situation when the devs are this incompetent. I think the best we can hope for is that the new GPU can bring the base resolution (or it's lower limit) to around 1080p and hope that PSSR can do the heavy lifting to get us to something around "4K". Framerate is a lost cause imo, maybe the GPU can get us to a solid 30fps, maybe even close to 60 but I wouldn't bet on it.

Nailed it. Current gen consoles are powerful, capable machines, but where are the games pushing this?
Horizon and GOW on both PS4 + PS5? Why?

The PS5Pro will be a great machine. Sony, for all their failings, make very good hardware. It's just a shame they've outsourced software to Microsoft, who outsourced it to India.

I've had more PlayStations break down than anything from Nintendo or Microsoft.

Their handhelds are better than Nintendo's, though. The actual devices themselves, not the game selections. The PSP-2000 is the perfect size, shape, weight, and feel. I want a modernized one with a second stick and an OLED screen.

YMMV maybe with environment? (Do you live somewhere extremely hot or cold?)

I've had 2 Xbox 360s RRoD, which I fixed with the towel trick, but no Sony consoles have ever died on me. Hell, my OG, Day 1 Vita is still rocking as an emulation machine. I reckon If I blew the dust off my PS1 it would still work.

I did hope that the Portal was going to be a new handheld and Sony were going to be retarded enough to try a Vita 2. I'd buy it, day one.

My fat PS2 had disc drive issues after a couple months of use. Slim PS2 worked like a charm.

My PS4 Slim had always worked as expected. I had a PSP 2000 with UMD read issues that resolved itself after some trickery.

My PSP 1000 worked flawlessly.

There's a parallel world where the PSP shipped with an internet connection (and touch screen?) and became the first smart device.

It had an internet connection in the form of 802.11b wifi.

It was sorta like a smart device, it had the ability to view photos and play mp3s out of the box (and atrac encoded files cause SONY) as well as after a few updates mp4 video files encoded the same as an ipod video. Eventually you could make Skype calls and there was a GPS accessory plus in Japan watch Live TV or recorded DVR content in your house. They integrated some gay comic book shit as well. Plus it had a web browser.

I hacked mine and used it to read ebooks before ebook readers were a thing.

Sony had a good opportunity with it to do more but they really just didn't get the integration quite right. Normies didn't understand how to encode a video file for PSP and it wasn't going to integrate with iTunes like an iPod or early iPhone, plus their SonicStage software and similar offerings were a mess.

I didn't get one until the tail end, 3000 model I think, but I remember their MediaGo software working pretty well. From what I remember, the only thing it lacked from iTunes was retardedly not having integrated storefront, even though you could buy software off of PSN's website.
 
I thought the PSP had the functionality to read digital comics. I forgot the name of the app. Has anybody ever used their PSP as a MP3 player?

Yeah, the first portable web browser I ever had was my PSP's. It did a pretty good job with browsing the internet in the mid 2000s. Most places didn't even have secure wifi yet. You could put TV shows and music on there, but 1GB cards were still $70 when the PSP was new, and UMD games maxed out at 1.5gb. So you couldn't have much variety. This was during a time when iPods were holding about 40gb on their microdrives, and I would have killed for the PSP to support one of those at the time.

I don't think the PSP's wifi hardware even supported WPA. If I recall, it only supports WEP protected networks.
