Agreed.

I don't play it, but I wish digital titles on console were closer to their PC counterpart in price (Given that there is no physical production costs and the games can't be resold)

Thus I pretty much buy everything on disc so I can sell and get my 20-30% back later.


i buy physical since I like to collect xD (i rarely sell or trade games)
specially since some of the games I enjoy could become kind of rare down the road (which is why I buy Limited Editions for them if I can)

A study was done showing the carbon footprint of a digital game is larger then just buying a hard copy.
Not saying anything, just thought it was interesting.

No idea what you guys are even talking about. Microsoft plans to support Minecraft on multiplatforms. Why are you talking like they bought it now gg PC and PS4? Lol.

I fucking Lol'd. They already mysteriously cut Sucker Punch employees. Before some Sony Pony replies that all devs get cut after a game releases, 1st party studious do not.

Sony has announced a drastic revision to its fiscal forecast for the year ending March 31, 2015. The company now projects a ¥230 billion ($2.15 billion) loss. In July, Sony expected only a ¥50 billion ($466.8 million) shortfall.

Sony cites a one-time “impairment charge” of ¥180 billion ($1.68 billion) related to its mobile communications division. Sony says the fair market value of this business has decreased.

The company also says it has revised its expectations for growth in the mid-range phone market. The new strategy will focus on specific geographies and premium handsets, with a reduction of model offerings in the mid-range.

Our Take
This kind of financial hardship puts pressure on all divisions of the company’s operation, even those that are successful right now. Despite Sony touting 10 million PlayStation 4 consoles sold and the gaming division running in the black, this kind of change to shortfall projections could impact wholly owned studios as costs are cut from everywhere possible.
