Don’t wanna throw shade but, I’m gonna guess, he forgot or is unaware that both Sony and ms have stated that they have plans for next gen consoles…both cerny and spencer have made it public in old interviews.Microsoft's hardware strategy looks more and more traditional | Opinion

Well they’re not hard to come by…. Why to Best Buy the other day, think it was Friday
September NPD and numbers should be quite interesting. Starfield Xbox boost vs PlayStation sale and Spiderman 2 coming out next month.
Devolver Digital passed on PS plus/ GP deals recently , believes the agreements "undervalue" their games.

I feel like those articles have been posted already, dono how old they are….could be ancient
Odd considering they have put their games on Game Pass and are STILL on Game Pass.I feel like those articles have been posted already, dono how old they are….could be ancient
He is not wrong though. The amount of people, time, & money per game has skyrocketed. You have more polygons on a character then entire game just 20 years ago.
There is too much AAA games with too much "contents" but very bland to stretch out game time, with asserts taking years to build that never got use again. Many of big open world game can be made more compact, saving cost & time. They could have save 50% cost & time while charge 40% less which is win/win for studios & gamers.
Like resident evil 3. Its a pretty compact game. At full AAA price, it is too much, but at 30bucks or below, most people will be fine.
If we look again at RE Village, gam,e lengtht is mide range for AAA, but is pretty compact the areas, & for teh price, it is okay.
Game like AC games mybe value for money from "contents" but there are so much dull moments between the cool ones I got bored well before anywhere near the end.
What about movies, don’t they have similar budgets, with maybe the same amount of people for something that sells at maybe 15 to 30 dollars, that’s anywhere from an hour to four, with people dedicated to making something that’s only seen probably once?
Should the console holders consider and devs consider renting games out? Maybe the whole game for a day or two tops or have a set time limit whilst you play?
I think the answer may be quite simple. The return on investing the time to do so is not worth it for them.
Also the XSX is a minority among the current gen consoles. Why do more for less ?
When I do something, I do it at the best of my ability. Developers are artists, and they want to see their work in the best possible light, not controlled by a corporate mandate.
There will probably be close to 30 million Xbox consoles sold soon. You may have a point if there were only like 10,000 Xbox consoles sold.
Unfortunately companies have budgets and timelines, and the fact of the matter is it's not worth it for them to put in the extra resources and time when it's already taking longer to optimize for an extra Xbox spec.
Userbase right now for current gen consoles: PS5 >>> XSS >> XSX.
