SabreFan1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just now, Xbox said: $250 is the heavily rumoured price in the United States, so at least they got that right. My guess is there trying to combine their console and handheld market into one device and have it be the successor to both Wii U and 3DS. I don't want it to fail, but I don't want it to be the next best thing where the competition follows suit. Sony most recently burned themselves with the PS Vita. The PSP wasn't a blockbuster either. I think it's safe to say that they will never go the hybrid route. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Man Sony has a killer lineup this year. Pretty pumped for Crash, Spiderman, Death Stranding, Days Gone and TLoU 2. I hope not too many get delayed to 2018 lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I think the lifespan of consoles being sold alongside gaming PCs is solely dependent on the developers. If big game companies like Naughty Dog, etc, keep holding onto their exclusivity with Playstation, then consoles will be around a long time before they die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a credible source whatsoever and it's comparable to listening to Eklund for hockey trade rumours. This hasn't been talked about by any big gaming YouTuber either and I can assure you if it was real then an actual credible source would have said something. The link you gave me is passing off predictions as fact. "Fake News". Thought I'd move this convo. I don't follow this stuff at all so I just saw a bunch of sites talking about it and thought it was true. If it's fake didn't know, but I don't think you should rule it out though as well, once again stuff I read online, but this Xbox Scorpio console is supposed to release this year, I would think PlayStation will probably want to bring out something as well to compete... PS5..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PS4 Pro doesn't last they'll just make a successor to that but they're probably going to monitor the Scorpio sales before putting a new machine on the market. Sony themselves even said they weren't sure if there will ever be a PS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOgRook Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey all, didn't have a lot of time for gaming over the holidays but have found a gem since things settled down. I'd strongly recommend ARK if you like open world sandbox games.. I had overlooked it as a PC title for a couple years and now I'm wondering why lol very addicting and a great game for groups of friends. Even my little one loves it! check out some vids and if you have any questions just task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Horizon: Zero Dawn actually looks pretty decent. I might end up picking it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm sure it's talked about somewhere here, but i'm not going to look. Has anyone played with the 3rd party controllers yet? Would you recommend them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried the Wii and Wii U and ended up getting rid of both. I can still play Mario Kart the odd time at a friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-orders are soldout everywhere though. People selling theirs on craigslist for +$650 Accessories are going for a premium too. $65 per Joy-con, $90 for pro controller. Rumours are that the graphics will be similar to games in 2013. Eg. Fifa 2017 will be coming to the Switch, but the graphics will be similar to those of Fifa 2013 lol. I really hope the Switch fails so that Nintendo can get their act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those prices are absolutely ridiculous considering the Switch seems like a weak gimmick. Even though the pre-order numbers are good don't look at the pre-orders as a premature sign of success. It could very well just be scalpers just like the last few nintendo products (most recently the NES Mini). I'm more than happy with Xbox and PlayStation. I'll probably get flamed but both companies have better exclusives than Nintendo IMO (unless you're still obsessed with Zelda). I tried all the big ones on the Wii U and the only one I liked was Mario Kart 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo's marketing plan always leads to great short-term success, but it's the long-term that is questioned after the novelty fades. I agree with you on exclusives, but some people will get a console just for one game (and get other games after, but mainly for the one game). If this thing had NHL on it that would be fun to play on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
