Damn I was following the back and forth and enjoying it and then you post this weak response?Quick call your dad. Show him this post he will be so proud.
Do you mean a NPD thread who Nintendo fans wanted to make it a Nintendo thread lolYou're right. I was on a thread about Nintendo Sales sometime ago where too many wanted the thread to be about "NPD" as that was the font, but they kept talking about Sony, as most of them were SonyGAF. The thread kept on about Sony like always. Same happens when it's about Microsoft. Fanboys are just that much obnoxious.
Is the Last of Us Part 2 getting discounted to 17.99£ in less than a year a good or a bad sign now?

Europe: https://geizhals.eu/the-last-of-us-part-ii-ps4-a1547912.htmlThis is UK? I would be all over that if in US.
Damn I might actually get the game.
Unlike Nintendo they have to otherwise the sales figures would collapse. I expect Ratchet at 19,99 - 24,99 before christmas.This is why I'm okay with Sony doing $70 PS5 games.
They discount them pretty quickly. (Unlike Nintendo.)
Ratchet? Not gonna happen. That game is a pure SSD demo, they will use those portals a million times and it would suck on PS4. Souls maybe, but too late. Now that the market is short on PS5s they would have sold many on PS4, but in a year? Not so much.I can see the new ratchet and clank and demon's souls being released for ps4.
Yeah they've claimed a lot. I can still see it happening.Ratchet? Not gonna happen. That game is a pure SSD demo, they will use those portals a million times and it would suck on PS4. Souls maybe, but too late. Now that the market is short on PS5s they would have sold many on PS4, but in a year? Not so much.
Ver few Nintendo titles are evergreen, or do you want to argue that games like Bayonetta and Octopath Traveler are still full price because they sell more than Sony exclusives?Unlike Nintendo they have to otherwise the sales figures would collapse. I expect Ratchet at 19,99 - 24,99 before christmas.
Two "niche games", one a last gen game from 2014 and one a crossplatform game, are your argument?Ver few Nintendo titles are evergreen, or do you want to argue that games like Bayonetta and Octopath Traveler are still full price because they sell more than Sony exclusives?
Cope
Are they not Nintendo games? Point is a lot of Nintendo games don't have long legs yet they retain full price.Two "niche games", one a last gen game from 2014 and one a crossplatform game, are your argument?
Oh so it's Nintendo massmarket exclusives only now? My point proven I guess.All Nintendo massmarket exlcusives are very expensive over years while Sony's drop massively within months. The reason is simple: Nintendo lacks big 3rd party games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and if players have a choice, they go for those games. If Sony could, they would keep the price much higher, but they can't.
I thougth i didn't have to point out that i meant Mario, Zelda, TLOU, GOW, Spiderman etc. and not small niche games. But my fault, comparing Octopath Traveler with TLOU2 made perfectly sense and proves you absolutely right.Are they not Nintendo games?

Ok. "The big Nintendo massmarket exclusive games are usually expensive/stable in price over years, while all Sony exclusive games drop in price very fast and are usually at 20 bucks within a year". Happy now?Soneone: "Sony discounts their games quickly"
You:
Me: "the reason Nintendo games retain full price isn't because they have long legs otherwise you'd see a lot of their games get discounted too"
It's like I'm arguing with a wall.
You are going to wait over a year for a game to fall in price? That’s madness. LolThis is why I'm okay with Sony doing $70 PS5 games.
They discount them pretty quickly. (Unlike Nintendo.)
For example:
Spider-Man launched Sept 2018 for $60, then had 3 DLCs for $25 (or $10 each).
That's $85-90 on day 1.
But I waited and got the game + DLC edition for $20 on Black Friday Nov 2019.
Games like Ratchet & Returnal will be on sale soon enough over the first 12-18 months.
If I'm not desperate to play it, sure. Like in the case of Spider-man in 2018, I had other games to play and was fine waiting.You are going to wait over a year for a game to fall in price? That’s madness. Lol
Why not? It's not like you miss something out like in a multiplayer game where lobbies can be empty after a year or you fall behind content-wise or level/skill-wise. Sony mostly makes singleplayer games and the games don't get bad in 2-3 years.You are going to wait over a year for a game to fall in price? That’s madness. Lol
Do you mean a NPD thread who Nintendo fans wanted to make it a Nintendo thread lol
Or the media create thread where they want to make it about Nintendo!Do you mean a NPD thread who Nintendo fans wanted to make it a Nintendo thread lol
Another celebratory thread about a game selling 40 copies more than previous week in the UK.
I mean there’s not many games I look forward to months in advance. If there is I will buy them days one. Whether it’s single or multiplayer.Why not?

No pile of shame? There are so many games i would like to play. I only buy multiplayer games day1. So i get bugfree singleplayer games, with all addons, without performance issus and for a bargain price.I mean there’s not many games I look forward to months in advance.

I know that and already said so in a later post, but thanks.The reason they do that is because there is more competition on their platform game wise.
What’s madness about that? The game will still be there, what does the poster have to lose? That’s a serious question, waiting to see if you respond.You are going to wait over a year for a game to fall in price? That’s madness. Lol
That would need some serious rework of both games as those have being designed from the start with PS5 SSD speed. That won't happen.I can see the new ratchet and clank and demon's souls being released for ps4.
No one is waiting a year for a game they are hype about. That's what the poster is saying. Of course you can wait a year or more for a game you are not that interested.What’s madness about that? The game will still be there, what does the poster have to lose? That’s a serious question, waiting to see if you respond.
Waiting to enjoy things just because it’s a bit cheaper isn’t for me. Life is too short.What’s madness about that? The game will still be there, what does the poster have to lose? That’s a serious question, waiting to see if you respond.
They said the same thing about resident evil 4 once upon a time.That would need some serious rework of both games as those have being designed from the start with PS5 SSD speed. That won't happen.
Lol imagine being surprised.I'm really surprised by Persona 5 Strikers PS4/NSW split. Over 70% on PS4. LOL
Yeah after Miles I'm good. They really need to switch it up for me to get hyped again.I hope insomniac is not perpetually stuck on this franchise.
There’s really nothing more to give here. Unless there is a completely mind blowing next gen world blowing our minds, I just can’t see playing more of the same.

I suspect we wont see this person for a long time after the PS5 sales and its software starts skyrocketing due to supply meeting the unprecedented demand. The Switch will be on a downward cycle as it has already peaked.
You know they are making Ratchet & Clank, right?I hope insomniac is not perpetually stuck on this franchise.

You said it’s madness lmfao. There are plenty of games to enjoy while the prices crater...Waiting to enjoy things just because it’s a bit cheaper isn’t for me. Life is too short.
What the hell are you talking about?No one is waiting a year for a game they are hype about. That's what the poster is saying. Of course you can wait a year or more for a game you are not that interested.
