PLAYSTATION
Ghost of Tsushima has proven to be a massive success for Sony. In just 3 days it sold 2.4 million copies which makes it the fastest-selling new IP for Sony. With the success of the last of us 2 and now Ghost of Tsushima, Sony has ended on a great year.
A new leak suggests the faceplates for the PS5 are removable indicating more customizability options for the system. Furthermore, a new rumour suggests that the PS5 will have a feature which allows you to launch a specific part of the game directly from the home screen.
Microsoft
Microsoft’s latest showcase didn’t go as planned. Many fans were not pleased with the presentation. The graphical fidelity promised from the Xbox series X was not present in their next major exclusive, halo, with flat textures and little details on polygons fans were outraged. This is because of Xbox’s promise of the most powerful console but that does not seem apparent, they still need to show a game which truly stands out from the current-gen, games like Forza motorsport showed amazing graphics with raytracing but there was no actual gameplay which was disappointing. There were few exciting announcements such as a new Fable game and a new IP called medium which is only possible on the new Xbox due to the graphical power it needs.
Game pass does not seem to be making a lot of money for Microsoft at this moment even with its 10 million subscribers, this is because most of the subscribers purchased game pass when it was on discount for $1, they are playing the long term game, where players will see the worth of game pass and purchase it for full price later as of right now their aim is to reach as many players as they can. Gamepass is an amazing offer for players as it gives access to over hundreds of games for s small fee and enables players to play exclusives on day 1.
