PS5: Who’s selling more?

The PS5 and Series X and S pre orders on September 12th and 22nd have everyone wondering – who’s selling more consoles?

The war for what goes under the television is heating up, with the pre order fiasco’s dust settling and now we want to know the numbers. While numbers don’t lie, to tell the truth, we don’t know the exact sales numbers yet. We’re going to use the numbers of Sony’s estimated 11 million units produced, The Series X’s 825 000 units created to date, and some sales projections by an industry expert mixed with data from the last few rounds of the console wars to give you a fun filled three to four minute prediction on who will be the sales champ, and whether or not you can break out the champagne to celebrate your favourite console’s victory, or cry into a bottle of whisky (or if you’re under age – a glass of chocolate milk) to mourn the loss of bragging rights for a New York minute.

Were going to reexamine the Playstation 2 versus the original XBox, which (spoiler alert) Sony crushed it, selling a whopping 155 million units, making it the numero uno selling console of all time. Round two fared the XBox 360 a little better but it still lost the numbers game to the Playstation 3. And the third round, the PS4 sold more than double the units the XBox one did, and is going into round 4 confident, experienced, and with a large core or die hard fans anxious to spend their hard earned cash on the next generation of that.

Why Console Exclusives Are So Dangerous

With the recent launch of the ps5 and xbox series x, comes a hole new generation of exclusive video game titles! With this already being a game changer in terms of which console to buy some of these can literally all the difference!

Another day another big gaming controversy that has lit the internet ON FIRE. This time around it’s not EA or Naughty Dog that’s in the hot seat but rather Square Enix and Sony for their very questionable decision to include Spider-Man in the new Avengers game but not for Xbox players. Needless to say, this has made a lot of people VERY ANGRY. It’s easy to see why.

You see, the gaming industry thrives on competition and console exclusivity has become a big part of that. Sony’s massive success during this generation has largely been built on the back of their exclusive titles. For that matter, would Xbox even be a thing if it weren’t for Halo? This strategy has driven the business of gaming for years…but is it good for the players? No, not really.

Before we get into that too much, we’ll look back on the brutal history of the console wars and how exclusivity has shaped and broken many aspects about gaming we all know and love. This will inform how we got to where we are today.

Then we will look at the possibly terrifying future that awaits us if console exclusive microtransaction playable characters become the new norm of the gaming world to come. Frankly, I think this generation has seen enough controversy to last two more, don’t you?

So let’s dive right into it, shall we? Here are all the reasons why console exclusives are making a dangerous future for the gaming industry.

10 Times Game Developers Took The Easy Way Out

Some game developers are just known for their pure lazy approach to designing video games. Nintendo, Xbox and playstation are all plagued with individual games, that just didn’t add up. They either needed more work, or too the easy way out! These are 10 of them!

Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Sub_to_TheGamer

Super Mario 3D All Star’s launch has inspired us to make a list of the ten laziest remasters in video game history, While it’s nice to pick up a classic on a next gen console as you already know how to play it and just want to see it in higher resolution, sometimes it makes us wonder if game developers let their imaginations take vacations and just resell us the same old thing in a new package without adding any value. Sometimes, it’s like they don’t bother to take advantage of the five or ten or fifteen or twenty years of console hardware innovation.

Some game remasters are of games that defined a genre. Games that were ahead of their time and forced all others to catch up. When they are re released, they deserve more than just an HD face lift. Sometimes, they don’t even preserve what made the originals great and what they changed they changed in bad taste. Considering games are to be enjoyed for anywhere from four to hundreds of hours, if you don’t take your time to make sure it at least looks pretty good, let this be a warning to you – you might end up on a list like this.

There have been some occasions when they clearly didn’t even think about whether or not a certain game is even worth remaking as they weren’t even well received by anyone. And what’s worse, when they remaster the old unpopular game, they preserve all the awful parts of it and don’t improve on any aspects of its gameplay.

Microsoft Just Bought Their Victory For $7.5B!

Microsoft has just virtually guaranteed their victory in the xbox vs ps5 video game exclusives race! With the purchase, of a giant parent company, you know the one who owns Bethesda, they can now capitalize on world famous titles, such as the legendary Doom!

Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Sub_to_TheGamer

XBox may have tilted the console wars in their favour as they made a monopoly level purchase of Bethesda Studios and Zenimax Media Inc. With Halo Infinite pushed to next year, Microsoft Corp. is looking to make that matter as little as possible with its ownership of Zenimax’s biggest titles to its assets ledger. Big time franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, The Evil Within, Wet, Fallout, Dishonored, and Prey amongst others might tide over many gamers waiting to put on Master Chief’s helmet.

What does that mean for the console wars? Although we want to put fuel on that fire as it is the bread and butter of our news real, what Microsoft Corp. has been strategizing to take over is the cloud. A monopoly over one of the fastest growing sectors in the entertainment industry is where it’s planting its seeds for its future money tree. The licence to print money, in theory, will come from subscription to its service. And once you get used to having hundreds of games at your disposal and the ease at which they will load will be the hook, and Bethesda game games will help you stay. They want everyone in the world who can afford it to think of Game Pass first when they think of where to play games the way they think of the Ford when they think of trucks or the way they (used to) think of Windows when they think of an OS. Once their name becomes synonymous with all access, Playstation might be in real trouble, as when those monthly subscription dollars start coming in, XBox may buy all the developers and studios, and become the one stop shop they’ve always wanted to be, like they did for operating systems with Windows 95 in ‘95.
