@HalBailman It's moved beyond the novelty stage some time back, and specific headsets or units have already reported sales in the millions, I'd say quite a lot of people "care" about VR otherwise companies like Facebook and Sony wouldn't b sinking money in2 it...its here 2 stay...dunno it seems like good fun, tho I'll admit 2 never using it..but I'm intrigued cos traditional gaming can become boring sometimes.
@DartBuzzer How's the content on the Quest right now ?, apparently a lot of the games are "small" or "short", or is it still 2 early 2 make a real comparison vs "normal lengthy experiences" currently found on PS4/PC for example ?.
@carlos82 It probably isn't the "be and end all" of gaming although "moderate success" is a relative way of looking at it, Sony have shifted more than 4 million units of the PSVR and in excess of 15 million games (VR), those numbers r not 2b taken lightly...they'll b ramping things up wen d PS5 is launched and eye tracking gets introduced...VR is "a thing", there's a market to conquer. Let's see what happens...
@BRAINFOX This "partnership" or "team up" is a little bit more serious than the way you have described it, they have clearly stated it's to "work on cloud solutions for game and content services" and that is exactly what Stadia is all about, but yes I agree with you it's very early days...but let's b honest "under normal circumstances" they would not be getting 2gether to work on anything !...that's similar to BMW and Mercedes hooking up to oppose Tesla, it's not a "natural" partnership u wud expect to see.
@BRAINFOX Cmon now nobody is worried about PC gaming, if anything PC gaming should b worried about Google Stadia cos that is a direct threat to traditional computer gaming as it essentially removes the "tower" or "box", but saying that Sony and Microsoft r also "concerned" cos they've just agreed to work together...all of a sudden, out of the blue...mmm...
@gameboy1975 But that's exactly what an opinion is, it's what "you" think about something so you are 100% correct...although unlike "your opinion" I'm supporting "my opinion" with a fact that the PS4 game sales far exceed that of the Xbox 1 hence my conclusion that it's "better"...that person gave his opinion, I commented with my opinion and then you replied with your opinion...so everybody is happy...
@jswhitfield8 All consoles essentially "do the same stuff" but when it boils down to it the PS4 has by far the better software line up, that's borne out by the sales numbers, that's where the war is won and lost.
@hadrian How u finding Graveyard Keeper ?, Is it fairly easy to play ?, sorry, yeah my patience levels are too low to sit for hours trying to work out complicated controls etc.
@JayJ This site was always gonna give it a 10, we all knew that. That's saying it's one of the greatest games of all time and can't b bettered, it's beyond reproach, it's perfect....isn't it ?
@Anti-Matter But you should go to www.pushsquare.com, that's a site primarily focused on PS4 games, www.nintendolife.com on the other hand is a site focused primarily on Nintendo games, can you see the difference ?.
They (game developers) should maybe focus more on releasing a "decent finished product" as this story of releasing any old rubbish and then fixing and updating over time seems lazy to me, there's almost no point then to these reviews. Perhaps other forms of entertainment could learn something here...The movie's ending wasn't well received, oh but it's been changed, u should see it now it's fantastic....
@rdrunner1178 Perhaps they should of just left it in the past hey, just now Pong will b hitting the eshop, but the question is do we really need 2 resurrect every game from 25 years ago, it's starting 2 become tiring about now...its just a lazy way 2 make a few dollars.
For a decent 2 player co-op I can recommend "Super one more jump", it's the kinda game u can play with the girlfriend, people with short attention span types lol....
@Tasuki I hear u loud and clear but unfortunately the public will decide on that, as long as there is an appetite and an audience it's gonna be "pushed" onto us. You say "move on" but the question is "to what?", innovation and originality is thin on the ground just now in the gaming industry...I mean how many more "zombie" themed games or games with "dungeons" do we have 2 endure in our lifetime...The only area where "originality" might exist could be in the VR arena...
@Kody127 Thought it was just me but that "building aspect" is just silly, it's so monotonous, anyway the Fortnite bubble has burst already as Twitch streaming numbers have declined massively, but I don't doubt that there gonna push it still as hard as possible.
Mmm not 2 b overly critical but do we really need 2b seeing games like this on a "current gen" console ?, We've seen games this 25yrs ago on pc, it's not exactly "pushing" the limits of the processor.
@Moistnado Yeah there not exactly grondbreaking graphical powerhouses of this generation, not that every game is just about "graphics" but it's 2019, do we really need 2b settling for this kind of thing...8 bit ??????????
And don't 4get the feature where u can now "drop furniture outside", no way dude !, let's b brutally honest...that's not a standout "thing" or a "talking point", it's not like that would have "stretched" the developers nor will it have more people standing in line 2 buy it...let's keep things in perspective...
@tonyt3rry Lego is definitely a quality product and I respect the way they operate their business, I suppose it's sort of the "modern way" with many forms of entertainment these days (and we should probably blame the Yanks for this), these so called "franchises" (not that Lego is a franchise) start out as one thing and the next time you look they're everywhere, for example Star Wars, how many movies across our lifetime will be pushed out before the bubble bursts ?, nobody knows but in the meantime Disney will "milk" the cash cow, and good luck 2 them.
@NotTelevision lol yeah I know what u mean, if we could only recuperate all the money spent on games we didn't enjoy, crikey big bucks...but we'll get suckered again...and again...
@electrolite77 Couldn't agree more, the other thing here with Sony is that with an install base of almost 100 million units they can basically do what they want, that's the number which allows them 2 sleep sound at night.

Re: UK Charts: Sony's Days Of Play Sale Wipes Nintendo Out Of The Top Ten
@electrolite77 Couldn't agree more, the other thing here with Sony is that with an install base of almost 100 million units they can basically do what they want, that's the number which allows them 2 sleep sound at night.
