@RedMageLanakyn Sony thanks you for your service. Do send us your account so we can chip in.
On a serious note, cross-play is the future. If Sony wants to remain in the stone age that's their prerogative. The market will leave them behind anyway
The bigger issue is how mismanaged internal SE studios are. Between this, KH 3, FF VII remake and the still in development expansions for FF XIV and XV, one has to wonder how they consistently mess up timeframes and development times
@Hughesy I know it's on a custom engine and I gave you an example of a game that runs on different engines (with one version running on the cloud) and featuring cross-play. But of course that doesn't suit your argument so you haven't addressed it
@Sanangelo89 I mean he can repeat it a thousand times, that still wouldn't be what EA said. So unless he's working on the game's netcode and knows exactly what's happening with FIFA 19, I'll take EA's word over some random on the internet.
@Hughesy not even close. There's been games (like DQ 10) with cross-play between the original Wii, the 3DS and the PS4. FIFA 19 would be a piece of cake compared to that
@mobor I didn't say they're still produced, just that you can still find them out in the wild. I also didn't realize you didn't include the 2DS under the same category as they're part of the same family of systems
@KingdomHeartsFan the team that made it has always been focused on casual games, some of the same people made 1-2 Switch. There's always teams within Nintendo making these type of games, it's nothing new
@KingdomHeartsFan I'm a lover, not a hater and the hate towards it is irrational. I'm not interested either,that doesn't mean I'm gonna moan about it every single time it's mentioned
Company announces product met their expectations. Anonymous armchair internet analysts respond: no, you're lying. Even though we have no idea about actual numbers or even if these numbers are satisfactory to you, it's clear you're lying! Labo Hate Squad is so predictable these days
@mobor what are you even talking about? The regular n3DS is not produced anymore but all other versions are. Plenty here in the UK and many other European countries
@Ludovsky great input, thanks. I do believe that Microsoft will try one more time since Phil said that the next Xbox is already in development but yeah they might ditch the concept sometime in the future. What corporate apologists don't understand is that openness across platforms is the future. There was a time when Ms office wasn't available for Macs, just to use one example. Now it's available on everything, Windows, Mac, Android, you name it. Exclusives will always have a place for sure, as the case of Netflix Vs Amazon shows, but there's not a single reason something like FIFA (or Fortnite or Minecraft and so on) is not available for everyone to cross-play if they so wish. Closed platforms are a thing of the past, and Sony better get on with the times
Love how corporate apologists are all like "but 80 million consoles sold" "killer exclusive lineup" blah blah blah as if they will see any of that money or gain anything by defending Sony. Every era has its useful idiots. This is one where they don't even get paid for it
@Sanquine that's your opinion. In my opinion PS is toxic from top to bottom, starting with their editors and their snarky comments in the comments section.
@Sanquine go see an ophthalmologist because you clearly have sight issues. And yeah it's the fanboys from other sites that make this place toxic on occasion but overall it hasn't been overrun by bootlickers and SDFers
@frogopus yeah alongside some of the others like that new game from GungHo and Arena of Valor. That was too fast and I don't really understand the rush, nobody is making them have the direct just for 45 minutes, half of which will be spent on Smash. Make it an hour and spend some time talking about all these games
Looks amazing, I just wish it wasn't included in a highlight reel with another 15 games that were given around 10 seconds each. Terrible format, hope they never do this again
@Sanquine it's fine to be a Sony bootlicker. But don't go and talk s@@t on another website as if nobody will find out, be a man and tell us what you really think
Edit: and no, I am not pissed, unless we're talking about corporate apologists. But you'd know more about that than I do.
Oh boy the corporate apologists are in full force tonight. Thanks for reminding us of who the market leader is, too bad you don't see any of that money and you're just corporate stooges cheerleading for a company that doesn't give a damn about you
@RichardZ don't question sages like @N64SNESU, his uncle works at Nintendo and he already knows everything. He's so wise he thinks Nintendo would make a port the centerpiece of their showcase
@Agramonte MHW is a phenomenal success, no doubt about that. Unfortunately I can't get into these games whether they're portable or not, just not my thing even though I've tried many times
That's the install base now, not when MH3 or 4 or the other variations came out. And nobody even mentioned MHW before the troll brought it up, how is this relevant to this week's charts?
@MsJubilee I respond to some of his most obvious bo@@@s just to set the record straight, although it's the site's job to ban trolls, not mine. Are you inclined to take a person who uses words like NDF seriously?
@Menchi187 thanks for your input. Your understanding of sales, as well as pretty much everything, is nonexistent. Congrats to MHW for selling about half of MH 3DS games in Japan and vanishing from the charts in no time. See? NDF can troll too
Edit: please keep your 94wpm to yourself, I'm not interested in discussing with 10 year olds
@Ooyah they've ported it about a thousand times so I'm guessing they will keep porting it until they manage to recuperate their costs, can't think of another explanation
@SmaggTheSmug minus the fact that some of these have never been on PC, consoles are by default closed ecosystems and obviously PC will always be better for performance. However, many of us don't play on PC and this is not about PC Vs console anyway so I don't see the relevance of your point.
@Menchi187 find a new hobby, your point is irrelevant and dumb
@WiltonRoots what you said but add "Gator" after 94wpm to make it complete. Unfortunately I'll be job hunting all weekend so no time for gaming. Enjoy and let me know your impressions!
@WiltonRoots no frostbite no buy Nintendo, get your stuff together. I enjoyed the 3DS Mario Tennis quite a bit, but Ultra Smash was trash. Thankfully this one seems like there's been actual effort behind it

Re: Shots Are Fired In This New Minecraft Cross-Play Trailer
@Fight_Teza_Fight Not attacking anyone but corporate bootlickers. The future is open platforms, you're just a sad relic of the past

Re: Cross-Platform Play For FIFA Is A Possibility, Lots Of First-Party "Issues" To Work Through
@Hughesy nothing is impossible. I'm sorry but I'm not buying it when I've seen more demanding games have the feature
