@Rayquaza2510 The cost difference will be very small. People who buy digital only would rather own a much cheaper console. With a massive price difference. Not a small $25 savings.
No, the digital only PS5 is one of the stupidest consoles ever made. It'll be like $25 bucks cheaper than the regular PS5. Sony has no clue what it's doing.
@StevenH Opps, I read it wrong. It's a trillion yen in the bank. I added a 2 billion times 50 years. That's how much I'd sell Nintendo for. 100 billion dollars.
@StevenH Operating income is 2.2billion, but comes after operating expenses have been deducted. So we don't know what those developmentsame expenses are. So Nintendo would cost them 100billion to buy.
@StevenH It's not a good indicator. We have no clue how much debt or stuff they have planned that they're spending money on. You also can't really put a price tag on Nintendo cause it's IPs are worth an insane amount of money.
@graysoncharles But not in this case. This would be like Microsoft trying to buy Disney. They’d get laughed at. Not only that, but they couldn’t afford them.
@Elvie Yet it's only sold if I remember 250k copies in Japan. I know it's rumor, everything I've stated is rumor. We don't really know why Konami fired him.
It's just good guess. When a company like Sony doesn't brag about numbers, it usual means it's failed to meet expectations.
@OscarHTX Which was my point. Nintendo has done the same. Microsoft hasn't gave Nintendo anything special. Nintendo releases paid exclusives to other platforms also.
Wake us up when Microsoft gives Nintendo something special, until then, they don't get nothing special.
@OscarHTX What has Microsoft gave? They didn't develop Ori or Cuphead. Those where developed by independent developers. Wake me up when Forza is on Switch. Then we'll talk.
Nintendo let companies have Wonderful 101 among others.
@Giygas_95 Nintendo won't discount XC cause it needs all the money it can get. Nintendo only discounts games that hits pass it's sell requirments. This is why Nintendo employees are some of the happiest, well payed, and don't complain much.
If people didn't want your game at your asking price, then you have a much bigger problem that a price cut will never fix. Fire Emblem should be getting one soon. I'd expect during the holidays.
@Elvie Death Stranding was a massive failure. It's been reported Sony was left with over 3 million copies sitting in warehouses. Sony has to use big discounts and even then couldn't game going.
The reasons Sony are pissed at Kojami is the exact same Konami was. Konami was right, Kojami was bleeding them dry. People hate on Konami, but now that Sony is fed up with Kojami, since being Sony, fans will turn on him quick.
His days are numbered, would even be a safe bet that he's done and will most likely quit video game development and do movies like he always wanted to do.
@ACNHislit Sony gave Kojami a bunch of money to help him start his own company after he was fired. Kojami is notorious for going way over budget. He's crazy about making his games look the best ever and even makes his own expensive engines to achieve it. He spends crazy money on actors too.
He also takes a very long time to create gsmes. He's a perfectionist. One probelm is his games never sell good. Konami had to cut MG5 cause he was taking too long and going way over budget.
Sony spent all that money on him. He made his own engine, hired a bunch of expensive people and released one game for PS4. Now hell need money to develop another engine for PS5. Which will have to come from Sony again cause his game didn't get him enough profits.
He's use to spending others money. But unless he hits big profits, he'll continue to bleed people dry. Big budget games have to sell in the 7-10 million range to make a OK profit.
@technotreegrass I was gonna upgrade to PS5, but I'm going to go with a Switch/PC/Xbox combo. I'll miss some of Sonys games, but I like PC gaming the best.
@graysoncharles Good thing for Microsoft is Nintendo has kicked Sony out of Japan. So Microsoft don't have much to worry about since Japan don't care for Sony much.
@glaemay Kojami wasted so much of Sony’s money. His games don’t sell enough considering how much money he wastes. Sony will soon find out why Konami easily let him go.
They should be focusing on standing apart. It’s in Nintendo’s and Microsoft’s best interest to focus on exclusives. It’s smart of Microsoft to focus on taking over PC since Windows. But Nintendo doesn’t make PC operating systems, so stay far away from Microsoft.
She is truly a genius in video game developing. We need more female directors behind games like her. This is one of the best videogames ever made. A true masterpiece. Thank you Aya.
Pokémon has survived companies copying them for over 20 years. Nothing will change, Pokémon will always be the best because Nintendo is amazing at regulation.

@StevenH They still couldn't afford them.
Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For Microsoft And Nintendo To Get Comfier With One Another
@Areus That would be laughed at. Nintendo makes like 20 billion a year.
Would be like Amazon buying Walmart. The price they’d have to pay wouldn’t be worth it.

Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For Microsoft And Nintendo To Get Comfier With One Another
@Areus That’s not how things work. Nintendo has way too much money and is worth way too much.
Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For Microsoft And Nintendo To Get Comfier With One Another
@MichaelHarvey They actually don’t. Nintendo is worth so much you can’t even put a price on them. They are like Disney.
Apple has WAY more money than Microsoft and even they couldn’t afford Nintendo.
Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For Microsoft And Nintendo To Get Comfier With One Another
@Trajan Its a given now. Sony has lost whatever hold they might’ve had.
