Truly a sad day here. Here’s hoping 2017 treats us a little better.

I specifically requested sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

Yeah, I will have wasted all that money on SiriusXM.

And people in rural areas won’t have premium channels.

A collection would be nice. Maybe on Switch. It’s the first one that’s hard to get a hold of. It’s only on 3DS right now. (Unless you have the original cart. It’s pretty rare.)

I know, but the point of this particular Shantae is that it’s a modern, HD Shantae designed for high end consoles with HD sprites and so on.

There is at least one more hardware update planned for the PS line this generation.

The pro will drop to Classic price and the Pro’s upgrade will replace the pro.

Sooner, it won’t be PS5.

Your right, the things you mention are ridiculous for a digital storefront, but the fact is that Sony doesn’t care. It doesn’t seem to be affecting their sales in any way. It’s not going to made a priority in the future either.

Expect at least a mention of the next playstation before the middle of the year.

Sony will likely one up the Scorpio a month or so before or after release. They have too much time before it comes out to react to it’s release. And then it will begin again. I honestly don;t think we will see Playstation 5. I thinkwe will just get “Playstations” of differing power from now on, based on the same…

If the mobile market wasn’t a player, you would still be correct. Microsoft, Sony nor Nintendo really fear anything from one another. It’s Google and Apple that are the real threat on the horizon.

That’s correct, to a certain point anyway, but Microsoft’s strategy of late is to wait and see what they have to do to keep up. It’s a bit strange.

Some, though far less people will pay for the newer, faster hardware. Even if it’s more expensive on the yearly update cycle. Sony and Microsoft will likely settle on High, Midrange and entry level consoles. It’s not that hard to add detail settings in the games, even if it does remove one of the major strengths of…

That’s exactly the plan, even if it wasn’t when the whole thing started.

I think we are nearer to that than what you might think. Consoles are going to have to start matching the reproductive cycle of the mobile market to stay relative.

Speaking of the “state” of PS4/Pro. The last update brought really bad HDMI incompatibility issues. PS4 Pros, in particular, are experiencing HDMI handshaking blackouts. Before the last firmware, that apparently added full HDMI 2.0 support, it never happened. (To me anyway).

The sad truth is it will cost far more than $45 just for one character. These games make money off gouging the casual user of hundreds of dollars. They do it by the “gacha” type of in-game lottery. Sadly, mobile players pay hundreds or thousands on these games.

I would kill to have the dash and XBox live from ten years ago on XBox One, it was SO much better. I miss the four screen color coded snappy quick interface and intuitive marketplace.
