PS5 sales reach 65 million, Astro Bot sells 1.5 million + Sony promises more single player games!

No way Sony’s first party doesn’t have anything in the oven!

@SolidGame_basic: Just because they have stuff in the oven doesn't mean they're not going to burn it.

I would be surprised if their core first party developers released a complete stinker but it could happen.

@SolidGame_basic: The problem Sony has is you cows hype their shit to the moon and back, so a good game scoring an 8 is considered a stinker/flop.

And we know what Sony's core studios are making, third person action adventure games.

65 million shipped is the same number I saw as of Sept 30th this year, so I don't know how it's news if it's the same number 2 and a half months later or if it's just the same number.

Also shipped not sold.

Also this is just momentum from Playstation fans and gamer culture at large wanting big powerful machines when it and basically xbox and PC have no modern software for their platforms.

The video game market would of crashed 5 years ago IMO if I didn't think gamers, or whatever they call themselves, didn't have such a strong emotional attachment to games that it would like affect them in their personal life if franchises all suddenly started dying and stuff just went away like it did in 1983.

And Nintendo is now too weak to save it if that does happen, which I hope it does so gaming can make progress again and isn't just people consuming consuming consuming regardless of quality.

I got a brand new PC for the first time in 15 years because I realized there's an actual decent change the triple AAA PC market could crash, which just IMO would be good because then you might need actual talent and a plan to sell a game and not just imbibe the hype train.

Hope you're right! In an ideal world, all companies would offer great products and compete for our business on honest merits.

When a company does poorly, it lowers the standards for the industry.

Hah! I see what you did there 😋

What's House Marquee working on?

Have little interest in more Sony games if they're going to be similar to the majority of their 8th/9th gen releases.

Never been more uninterested in a Playstation product than I have the PS5, this isn't moving the needle

PlayStation focused even more on going 3rd party.
