@Damo But it is a gaming platform, it doesn't make it less valuable just because you can't hold it. #SoftwareLivesMatter #StopSoftwareCruelty

@AlexSora89 Don't see what this is a reference to. Did I claim the crossplay issue was dead? I honestly don't remember.

@ThanosReXXX Apologies for that.

@ThanosReXXX Turns out Shawn wasn't complimenting the Switch. He opened up about how he thinks we're living in a Post-Console World. Here's the full link:

https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/02/11/shawn-layden-on-playstation-and-the-future

Of course, I wouldn't expect a Nintendo based site to comprehend what Shawn is on about, so this guy just focused on the little bit that mattered to him. Without context, there's no headline. You misunderstood Shawn.

@ThanosReXXX I don't agree. We'll just be arguing from different opinions.

@ThanosReXXX It did happen, didn't it? Then it wasn't just PR, it was factual information.

Again, it's not network. If you work for a company that says you can't walk from the front door, you don't walk from the front door.

@patbacknitro18 Those comments were made by Yoshida, lol. You should read the comments from John Kodera and Shawn Layden, they're the ones who run PlayStation, here it is:
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/09/26/extended-fortnite-cross-play-beta-launches-on-ps4-starting-today/
https://www.usgamer.net/amp/sonys-shawn-layden-on-ps4-cross-play-were-looking-at-a-lot-of-the-possibilities
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/amp/2018-10-01-playstation-boss-shawn-layden-explains-why-ps4-cross-play-took-so-long

They addressed it a few times, it's just overlooked every time because it's not Sony-arrogant (despite making me laugh every time). It's not a networking issue by the way. They had a policy that doesn't allow them to. Change policies in a company is not easy.

@electrolite77 Really? Despite one having CD and the other having a cartridge? I think Nintendo shielded for the most part by saying the Switch would neither replace the 3DS or the Wii U.

Again, if the patents are real that's not even an issue in the slightest.

@patbacknitro18 @AlexSora89 That's not where I have a problem. Where I have a problem is when people say Sony is arguably rejecting Crossplay, despite them already having accepted it. Sure, they're taking a little longer, but they have priorities for 2019—changing policies and having meetings with networking partners regarding crossplay is at the least of their concerns at the moment.

Another thing that grinds my gears is when people keep shoving in PlayStation's face they don't have backwards compatibility. Neither does the Switch and we don't complain, do we? Inb4 "Different storage mediums", Playstation 4 has a different architecture. Different limitations for everyone. PS5 was already confirmed to have the same architecture as PS4—it doesn't take a genius to guess what comes with that.

Another comment said Shawn Layden only said this because he's afraid of the expansion of Xbox Live....

You're not ignorant because you have an opinion, information is out there for everyone to read. In the same sense, you're ignorant when you make preposterous claims that have already been clarified/ proven wrong in the past.
(Sorry for the long paragraph, but you did ask to expand)

@AlexSora89 Like I said, I read every comment before you originally replied to me. Every comment before your reply (including mine) sheds a light on why I claimed so. No point arguing over—like you said, we're all going to die eventually.

@patbacknitro18 This comment section managed to go beyond that. You guys should be glad though, you might make into the Guinness Book as the World Record of Most Ignorant Community.

@AlexSora89 Really? I've read it top to bottom and I can effectively say so.

But I'm better off having a discussion with a wall, it listens better.

@patbacknitro18 Nah.

@manu0 Educated guess.

@KingdomHeartsFan Maybe next time Nintendo will play catch-up and use more than 32GB of system storage. Or not use an expensive storage medium unit that forces developers to charge more for a game because of the price on the cartridges.

Wow, that was longer than it needed to be.

@manu0 Just like Japan. Only Global sales matter in my opinion, but you don't want to look at those.

Ehh, it's an alright game. The way it ends though, meh.

"At this time" they didn't rule out the idea. That's nice of them.

What's this? So he has a console bundle (which is not a bundle at all) with a download code to a game that is not even available on the store? And someone actually bought it for 1 grand? That's an ULTIMATE rip-off, because the only thing he'll get early is a Joy-Con with white tape lines over it, lol.

In all honesty, the game is garbage. I only played it at Insomnia because the booth assistant was cute. Other than that, other platforms have better games to be played.

Accurate rating. A lot of graphical scenes in this game

I can think of 20 different Bowsette plotlines for a Super Mario game and guess what, all of them are Game of the Year material.

No rumble? Garbage.

@beazlen1 You asked if it's possible, whether it's not flexible, or revolutionary, that matter is that you can do it. In the future with the PS5, it will change, streaming games will be on top of the service—but that's not relevant.

@beazlen1 You can play PS4 games on a Sony Xperia (a mobile phone series made by Sony's Electronic subsidairy) and PS Vita (a handheld gaming device manufactured and designed by Sony SIE)

The more you know. Information is the key of life.

@Rika_Yoshitake I'd say the ones that think Nintendo hasn't done worse than just keeping up with the lastest trend, which God forbid a company for trying to be competitive. But you forgive and forget Nintendo for plagiarism. If you don't want to look like a hypocrite, I'd advise you to not speak on the matter.

Ohh fanboy fuel!!
I bet you won't talk about things Nintendo has plagiarized. I won't talk about it either, it's a lot. But just so we're clear, staying up with the competitive market and downright plagiarized are 2 different things.

Have fun.

@beazlen1 1440p @ 60fps, why?

@Razer I would, but I have record of getting vile in arguments here (specifically here). So much so, that my comments get deleted. It's not my fault some people are stupid, you know?

@Razer Because it's a portable system. That is a very unnecessary argument and the other guy should know better. A system that is portable will be used as a portable system.

Hmm nice, what's the US and Europe sales like?

@geheimxy That's not entirely true. Maybe for someone who only has one console, but I can give you examples of console lineups being affected because they were released in the same month of an exclusive lineup on a completely different console (Look at the comment above yours).

Regardless of being a joke, does not defeat the purpose of my argument.

@iLikeUrAttitude You know, putting a one liner really doesn't defeat my entire argument.

Hours that he will never get back.

@onex I mean yeah, if your opinion is final, little I can do to change it, I'll tell you this though, HDZ is like Monster Hunter, but 10 times more deadly when it comes to gameplay.

Rockstar is beast in both, GTA V is by far the best cinematic game experience I had (until God of War). Their gameplay is outstanding, but you can see that it's casual too. It doesn't require you years to master, like how someone would need to master platforming in Super Mario, despite being an excellent game, it's not hardcore. I'm on the same boat there, mate, RDR, LA Noire, I need to finish all of those.

@onex That is fair enough. If in case you still have a slight interest in trying their IPs, they have (way) less story-driven games available, my personal favourite: Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2.

In my own personal perspective, story is the most important aspect of a single player game. Gameplay will always be there and original in it's own right, but a good story is hard to achieve. If I'm going to save a princess, I need to know why. Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, said their aspirations with video games is to move us, makes us laugh, cry, question moral values, overall deliver a widen experience in gaming. And it's not just Sony, Rockstar does it too with the GTA series and Red Dead Redemption series. Look at this: What Remains of Edith Finch is pure story and gameplay is slightly minimal, but it didn't stop it from getting a Best Game award. Critics know the importance of a story and value it just as much as gameplay.

Again, this is all personal taste, but to form a critical judgement, one requires an open mind and actually play the games from start to finish, not midway through with a friend or watching gameplay online. One shouldn't share feedback, positive or negative, if these were the means for you to come to such conclusion.

@onex May I have a go at that?

Your argument is that you're not interested in HZD because it has less environmental physics in comparison with a game that is a complete different genre and has a complete different play style? Is that it? Horizon Zero Dawn was Guerrilla's first ever attempt at blockbuster title, of course they have different priorities and on top of that they have a newly designed engine that we have no idea what is capable of (only 2 games have been developed on it) and you didn't take into account Nintendo is more experienced in that field and they have done it in previous titles (Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Phantom Hourglass/ Spirit Tracks etc.).

Playstation only has 4 Interactive Movie games: Until Dawn (and The Inpatient), Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit Become Human. There's a serious distinctive difference in gameplay between those games and their adventure titles. I don't think you're being biased, but you are being dangerously arrogant towards their format. They don't do it because it's lazy, they do it because it sells.

Also, Smash can't be nominated for game of the year because it comes out when the nominations are already up. Only BAFTA and NAVGTR can give them awards. But BAFTA doesn't nominate Nintendo games for best game of the year, so your best bet is in NAVGTR.

@Blizzia What you described it's not a "story" it's lore.

@Whatdidyousay Isn't that contradictory? Grand Theft Auto is both a 3rd person shooter and a 1st person shooter, as well as a realistic game. Have you actually seen GTA at all?

Am I going crazy or 52+34+15 = 101? Me here thinking percentages of a whole need to add up to 100%. Also, the U.S. figures were not taken into account, because they still registering them.

This is the same as if a Microsoft employee claimed Xbox has a high range of 1st party titles.

It's the same old saying: if it's not available on my region, then I don't need it.

Have you seen the coverage of Eevee's movepool? He's not limited to a high accessibility to Electric type moves. Plus, he has better stats overall in contrast to Pikachu.

@JamesR You're right it wasn't Nintendo, it's most likely The Pokémon Company, who rightfully own Pokémon.

I visited the website and it's on idle. No connection drop, just idling. If The Pokémon Company did register these, keep checking it everyday, content will surely arrive soon.

Hmm, hopefully they released Together within the same as a DLC. That's the version that gets me moist.

It would require a bootload of optimization, not even the PS4 Pro runs the game with ease. You can hear the struggle every time you go into a world. Try it, you'll end up with load screens being an hour long.

People are so desperate for a PUBG port on the Switch, that instead of waiting for a Players Unknown's response, their listening to Digital Foundry. This is why you get sued DF, but one day you will for real.
