So which console is going to go out?I got a gut feeling this next gen is going to be the last for either xbox or playstation.I mean like they are the exact same console and not to mention this fucking next gen consoles are going to be very fucking expensive like 600 to 800 sort of expensive and to set up is even more so the ps4 and xbox one still have a long live a head for the time being.I mean this next gen consoles literally have the exact same features and technology.Is all about who has the best exclusives and who has the best membership and online features which there isn't much you can upgrade about that.And if they bring BS that I have to pay more then 60 each year then im actually switching to PC and buying nintendo consoles which surprisingly they never loss focus of whats important video games
Next gen

not enough info on either console yet, but sony has my goodwill after this gen. the benefit of the doubt only goes so far and games i want to play are worth more than tech specs.
it's too early to tell but it's sony's race to lose, i think.
Xbox obviously.When that happens hopefully nintendo buys rare.
>Both Microsoft and Sony go all in on the streaming service meme
>Nintendo has to deal with the awkward situation of suddenly being the only console-maker left in a gaming world which has in spirit fused with the PC gaming collective
microsoft is going with a minecraft model. they are a big enough company to not care about 1 factor not being overwhelmingly popular. since they own PC, have a huge online infrastructure, they can afford to put games anywhere, they have options. sony has the opposite problem, since they only have consoles keeping them afloat. if it werent for the ps4, im not sure sony would still exist. they are relying solely on console exclusives to keep them relevant. that is inherently risky, since games take so long to make, are increasingly expensive to make, and there is no guarantee it will sell well enough to be profitable. if microsoft keeps pushing GamesPass and gets big games to launch there, it going to be hard to keep gamers away from them. nintendo will likely be fine since they make weird shit. might be more accurate to say microsoft might do what amazon does and keep expanding what they provide cheaply, until they become the default option.
Sony because only Americans by Xbox. This will never change. Ever. The PS3 was a failure for 4 years and it still outsold the 360 outside burgerland.
When will you dumb niggers realize that there is no competition within the console market?
Xbox is going to go out and become a streaming service
Imagine thinking Sony will go out before Nintendo.
Where have you been the last 3 out of 4 gens where the Sony console absolutely humiliated the competition?
My question is when are getting a new competitor. I can see it now, all the s o y s like google, ouya, etc. wanting to attack this argument.
>W-we are a real competitor!!!
I honestly want something like sega to make a new console or someone new like apple.
Yeah,man its all happening so fast.I feel like an old man.Then all that membership BS and all that crap.I honestly think both sony and microsoft are having meetings on how to scam us with memberships since both of them make up like 50%of the videogame industry.I might just go the PC route.And of course a nintendo console on the go or at home.
I have a prediction of what's going to happen. Ps5 and xbox scarlett try to heavily focus on the streaming meme. Gaming starts failing hard and fast. A new competitor comes in and saves gaming by making a normal, traditional console.
Nigga the nintendo consoles are perfect and go perfect with the PC master race.
First person games are a meme just like vr. I want someone to come along and 3rd person games be their thing.
>inb4 nintendo already does this!
Cough cough Nintendo saves us cough cough.
I have a feeling that a major percentage of Yea Forums rocks the PC+PS4+switch combo, or any variation of the three. Or hell, even just PC+Sony console+Nintendo Console and/or Nintendo handheld. Maybe last gen when the 360 was great as the PS3 was struggling did the Xbox have a more prominent role in consoles that Yea Forums owns, but yeah.
Personally, I have a PC that I use daily and play vidya on whenever, a PS4 I barely use, and a 3DS which I mostly use. I also bought an Xbox too to play with friends .
I have a feeling that after the massive success that is ps4, sony just gonna sell ps5 at a massive loss and blow the competition the fuck out. Unless they screw up like they did with cell, which wont happen this time. There are actually some rumors that ps4 going to be much more powerful than xbox. They are even cheeky enough to not attend e3.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Im scare of this happening.Isn't much sony can do now that I realise.
>making a normal traditional console
So...Nintendo?
They did that with the ps3 and it was a big loss but i guess they did well.
Either both Microsoft and Sony are going to sell their consoles at a big loss or sell them at the 800 to 1000 mark.Theres no inbetween.Is there a guy in here that can calculate the cost of the next gen?
lol I hope people don't really think this.
bgr.com
May be the last Sony console though.
I mean, you can ignore who saved the industry in the first place all you want.
im not a fan of exclusives on any platform, so i hope what happen is Nintendo and Sony become publishers only. They stop making hardware and become EA's and Blizzards. With the xb1, ps4, and new consoles, they are so much like PCs that it doesnt make sense for them to be exclusive platforms. As Microsoft get more serious with PC development and streaming, they may see that Steam was right about steam machines. barebones hardware from any retailer running a barebones version of 10 just for gaming. And with smart phones already doing what Nintendo is doing.... the switch is also pointless to make. it all comes to pc and smartphones.
Microsoft is already in the process of going 3rd party, the Scarlett will basically be a Steambox except far more closed off.
Serious question, what does Sony have next gen?
Uncharted is dead
TLOU2 took almost 5 years to make, and is likely the last of the series
Kojima will go multiplat
They cut off their own legs against by removing weeb games
Insomniac isn't going to make another good game, they lucked out that the Spider-man tech was already built for them
From Software went multiplat
SE is multiplat
What else is there?
>Microsoft is already in the process of going 3rd party
But they're not.
Nothing, Microsoft will take next gen.
So basically we are really going into the future and anybody who can't catch up is done for.
While PS is one of the few divisions that sony profits from, they also have a fucking insurance division, they aren't going out of business any time soon
Meanwhile in reality, gaming PCs dont sell as well as underpowered tablets, laptops and Apple products
Nintendo makes a profit on every single console and first party software they sell
Microsoft already gets deals on console/computer parts because of their business relationships with the manufacturers
Sony is slowly dying and only the PS4 regular edition sells well for them as a product across their entire company, even their movie studio is losing money
Whats SE?
Square Enix
They're trying to get their services and games on every platform, including Sony
That doesn't mean third party. That means they want to sell consoles and software, like they do on PC already with their computers and software.
i think what they are suggesting is that their first party studio are not producing games exclusively for xbox consoles. they are releasing them to pc as well.
here would be an interesting future. the Switch is basically an Nvidia Shield. what if Xbox allowed you to stream games from pc to the switch. playing halo online from a switch. Buy games through the xbox app on your switch.
They're betting heavily on VR and "Cinematic Experiences" only time will tell if that pays off.
Or maybe Microsoft and Nintendo just implode and they win by default like they did with this gen
Ninteno and microsoft are business partners already.
Sony was quite disappointing this gen. I have a PS3, I waited this entire gen for PS4 to get enough interesting games for me to buy one and it never happened. The gen is now over and I can count like 2-3 PS4 games I'd be interested in, utter disappointment. On top of that Sony has also started going full retard with the censorship thus making me even more wary of paying them any money.
Xbone X legitimately looks like nice hardware for a console, but since I have a PC there was never a point where I even considered buying Xbox at all. Switch despite being the youngest on the market seems to have the most interesting library, though it hasn't quite gotten to the point of convincing me to buy either and the weak hardware plus the portability focus are significant deterrents.
As for next gen, I think MS has a chance if they don't fuck it up. Sony didn't really do anything particularly well this current gen. They just 'won' by default since MS shot themselves in the foot with the Kinect, TV shit and always-online garbage they tried to peddle initially. MS had a horrendous start which threw people straight into Sony's camp due to how bad it was. As long as they don't fuck it up majorly once again, Sony doesn't really seem to have anything which would make them superior, so I can see it going either way.
This
I own both PS4 and XboneX and to be perfectly honest, the Playstation is fucking thrash
Can't believe I listened to Yea Forums and thought the exclusives were worth it. My God that console is bad. B-A-D, bad
The Switch is outselling the PS4 based on how long each has been out.
Sony usually wins by default just because non Mexico and non US dont buy Xboxes
Soulja boy gaming division is about to bloom.
You dont play games with friends? Thats my only reasoning to own a non-Nintendo console.
They're not putting their games on Sony's consoles and no don't bring up the MCC on PS4 thing that's fake.
That could lead to some good things, like Chief in Smash or that Halo X Metroid game I've been asking for for years.
I do, but literally none of them own any consoles. We're all on PC.
I imagine you're scared because of how quickly the market seems poised to transition into the Ready Player One future. I was a big fan of set top boxes but even as early as the original news articles about the cell professor in Wired magazine in 2001 I could see the future was in broadband and off-site computing. I'm still a big fan of relying on the cloud as little as possible with your set top box or your home server being able to handle as much graphics as possible on this side of the isp bottleneck but ...you arent. You like indi games and Travelerrs's Tales games.
One major issue, at least in the US, is data caps and shitty ISPs.
There will always be a market for a local box, even if its just a glorified PC until that ISP and selfish data cap issues are resolved
This.That book predicted the future.and this is just videogames.Everything is changing.
around the end of the ps3 era, there were business new group calling sony junk stocks as they were failing to compete on nearly all fronts. their cameras were being killed by phones, samsung destroying their tv division, their console not doing well because of poor 3rd party support as a result of their cell processor. it was also around the time when their movie division was hacked and leaked. they got very lucky with the ps4.
yeah. there is to much money to be made for companies with critical positions not to set themselves up as gatekeepers going forward. companies that can operate at a loss should to squeeze those that cant out of the fight. which is what amazon did.
>Meanwhile in reality, gaming PCs dont sell as well as underpowered tablets, laptops and Apple products
i dont know about laptops or apple products, but i remember reading that since the 08 crash, people were buying tablets since they couldnt afford pcs. the buying habit was a result of a lack of spending power.
i dont think this will change... we are kinda ready for another crash. but the lack of spending power puts into question the need for people to buy seperate and multiple 500+ dollar gaming machines, when they can just buy a low powered pc that plays all pc and xbox games.
while i dont see a reason for nintendo to be a hardware manufacturer, i dont doubt their ability to make weird shit profitable.
Yeah this new future is for rich people and a custome for rich people.and theres nothing we can do is a question of time before everything starts to fall into chaos and the rich are getting richer.
Xbox, their resume is so impossibly weak it's rediculous. Sony had a rough period from '06-08, Nintendo was bad in '12-14 when your uncles' money dried up.
Xbox has legit been missing for a decade. What could they even be planning besides Rare reboots? Almost all of their IPs have rotted to the point they're basically dead- Gears is a laughing stock. Crackdown went nowhere. Forza never accomplished anything besides being Pepsi to Gran Turismo's Coke (and sells like it).
Xbox just has not cultivated a following, they've spent so long farting around.
"Gears of Wars 2 was a contender for GOTY in 2009". That feels like a fake sentence now
this wouldnt have been an issue if ISP's didnt cheat cable subscribers. years ago they were supposed to upgrade all of america to Fiber. it was already paid for since a portion of cable subscription went towards the effort. ISPs instead pocketed the money and didnt upgrade. we were supposed to be like south korea, but government officials let it go. perhaps if someone like bernie, that truly wants infrastructure spending, gets in office this upgrade will finally happen.
So basically what youre saying is the videogame console industry is going to go instinct and is going to be replace by PCs and Smartphones?
Fuck, when you think about it, Rare reboots are basically Xbox borrowing credibility from Nintendo.
And their few attempts at it (Nuts & Bolts, Battletoads '19) show just how bad they are at building a brand
> Mfw the videogame industry is having an Existantial Crisis.
The Dualshock is fucking shit. I never played a Sony console willingly. It was always "well fuck my ass I cant use the Xbox controller or whatever fuck weird shit Nintendo has cooked up guess I'll have to deal".
With the Playstation 4 they F I N A L L Y got rid of that shit and it works like a decent controller.
Cant wait to see what their new controller is and since they don't deal in hand cramp central anymore I am fine with playing on the console.
I’d say that Xbox is much more likelier to go out first because of the whole Microsoft thing. That on top of their exclusives being too insignificant to really make a difference. Sony doesn’t really have an alternative so they’ll continue to challenge the PC gaming market and staying strong with their exclusive franchises. I just don’t see Sony dying like that.
Nintendo will have a “freer” market so to speak. Their whole schtick is the least likely to get lost as we head into the future especially with the portable aspect of their consoles going forward. Their next gen still won’t exactly reach 4K graphics, but they’ll be living luxuriously off of their own IPs and third party interest will inevitably be higher, it’s only up from there as well
The dualshock I use to have had their arrow D pad connected so sometimes if you went left it will go down.Idk if they fix that with new models since I rarely use my ps4 nowhadays and dont feel like spending money on a mew controller.
The "Steam Machine" concept is great. I dont know what the fuck everyone's problem was. An under the TV PC of decent power has limitless potential. I bought the Alienware one when they were hot shit and I use it all the time. Just played the PC port of Killer 7 last night from my couch. And I just got a fresh batch of anime torrents ready to go.
its a possible future.
though consoles wont go extinct. current consoles are already PCs, with their own unique operating systems.
some steps that might need to be made are Microsoft unifying the operating system between consoles and pc platforms. Making development for xbox the same as developing for pc. this could also create a larger incentive as you would hit two platforms with the same game build. ...something that was a problem for the wii/U and ps3, being hard to develop for since they had unique qualities. Companies developed less for them and it hurt the manufacturers. eventually there may come a point where sony might find it more profitable to simply use Windows as their gaming operating system, conforming to the standard. then they would be faced with the problem of remaining an arbitrary exclusive platform, when everyone else is playing together already. once that is gone, its all pc's and smart phones.
PS5 has got it in the bag after that shithouse Cucklett reveal
>Bu bu bu bu but muh Cuck Pass!!!!
No one cares, Xtranny.
That could happen since is not the first time we see that.The xbox one used the blu ray format from sony.
Doesn't matter, Nintendo will be the future of gaming. Just look at the massive reactions to smash roster additions.
>Microsoft abandoned the 360 halfway through it's life, when they were winning the gen
>Microsoft abandoned the Xbone halfway through it's life when they were losing the gen
>but I'm so sure they won't do it for a third time!
don't expect anything from Microsoft next gen after the launch year
they only want to coast by on subscription services
they will abandon the console,
Lets not take into account ww3 is going to happen in a few years and we are gonna die.
Xbox already threw in the towel this generation. They will 100% port all their games next gen to PS5 if their next system has horrible sales (it will). If Sony would agree to put Game Pass on PS4 they'd put all their games on it tomorrow.
Microsoft already has no issue porting Minecraft, their most valuable gaming IP, to other consoles
this doesn't surprise me that they at least considered the possibilities of other titles
On this gay board. There aren't enough man children to matter that much. Those faggot youtubers that pretend to give a shit are just taking advantage of the easiest demographic of people to ruse. Children. They buy games, play them for a couple of hours. Gush for 10 minutes with their soi boy happy faces to get revenue and put it back on the shelf with the collection they display behind them while they make vids.
People underestimate how much $ Halo and Gears made for Microsoft. Every actual gamer played either CoD, Battlefield, or Halo/Gears, and the first two were multiplats.
Sony has never had a single franchise as globally successful as either of them.
Holy shit Sega is back
what about my post do you feel is bait?
Playing on touchscreen only devices is cancer
Try playing Bully or GTA SA on iPhone
1.Game makes your phone feel like it’s on fire
2. You’re sloppy as hell for the simplest things
3. If literally anything phone happens like getting a text adds lags and frame drops for literal PS2 games
Back when sony did anime games. Ahhh based
Nintendo will never leave. The Switch saved them.
>Wild
>GOW2
>HZD2
>multiplayer game by GG
>new Japan studio game which is probably Siren and something new
>all those chinese games like Lost Soul Aside. Most of them will get a pc port but will remain on ps console only
>new game by the San Diego studio
>new game from their new Manchester studio which is for vr games..
>probably Days gone sequel or new Bend ip
>new Ratchet and Clank
>new sly to go along the cartoon series which looks absolute shit
>Ape escape 4?
>Wipeout sequel?
>maybe the new popolocrois will be made by sony again
Prob Xbox. They bought a bunch of game studios, it is clear they are planning on something.
Still not as good as PC though.
>steam machine
>Alienware
jesus christ the type of retard that post here surprise me sometime
>Sony has never had a single franchise as globally successful as either of them.
you underestimate how much Gran Turismo has sold
if you are considering rumors, you can add Naughty Dog's sci-fi, survival horror game
also Siren won't happen, the director has repeatedly said he wants to work on a new IP after Gravity Rush
if my 10 year old nephews are anything to go by. they have been playing minecraft on phones for as long as its been available. they also love the switch. I might not like playing on mobile devices, but they were raised on it. plus a lot of controllers have blutooth.
in another post i made i suggested that since the switch is a remodeled nvidia shield and streaming content is becoming a thing, your phone will simply be a screen and input device for pc/xbox games.
...just as pokemon games were a problem for teachers when i was 10, fortnite on phones is the problem now. mobile gaming isnt going away.
Sony will win next generation again like they did this generation.
No. Nintendo needs to stay in hardware because they are the only ones that innovate with new ways to play
>“2018 was a troubling year where things I never expected occurred and one thing after the next didn’t go as planned, but I had the opportunity to speak with Siren fans of 15 years at the ‘Siren Exhibition,’ where I was able to get motivation for making games in the future, as well as big hints. While I’m still figuring things out behind the scenes, I want to turn over a new leaf in 2019 and go full power from the very beginning!”
I guess you can think that his new ip isn't fully scraped but I am pretty sure that is the case. There was a lot Siren stuff lately. New manga, new merchandise, tshirt in NMH, etc.
But then again the same has happened for Bloodborne. I honestly prefer if he works on something new with better gameplay. Japan Studio needs a game with good gameplay not only with good ideas.
>There was a lot Siren stuff lately. New manga, new merchandise, tshirt in NMH, etc.
>But then again the same has happened for Bloodborne
same with Ape Escape, a bunch of updated merch came around
Japan Studios is a very creative place, I don't think lingering on the same IP for multiple gens is what they want
