I've seen a recent video from Moore's Law Is Dead where he analyzed the situation, and personally I find his interpretation more probable. The 4 PRO sold around 10% of what the 4 sold. So Playstation isn't expecting too many 5 PRO to be sold anyway... So why would they price it so high? The same reason NVidia prices its cards higher every year, gradual price anchoring across product generations. Playstation 6 will probably be $800-$900, and the new price point will be easier to swallow, if there is the 5PRO precedent.

Ratchet and Clank please

Hello Gog,

I would like the following games to be available in your store:

-Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
-Horizon Forbidden West complete Edition
-God of War Ragnarök
-Sackboy: a big adventure
-Returnal
-Until Dawn
-LEGO Horizon Adventures
-Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
-Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Thank you.

I just noticed that the sale will end when Ragnarok will be released on Steam, so maybe we will get a surprise release? I rather doubt it, because Sony would need to make a PSN Account-Free version for GOG.

The first video on the Tubes - at least I've ever come across - where somebody explicitly points out and highlights the benefits of the offline installers, in this case for the 4 Sony-published titles currently on sale:

PlayStation 5 Pro Seeks To Eliminate Game Preservation

I wasn't logged into my GOG account on the work laptop when I took this screenshot, back when the link pointed to the THQ sale:

And honestly, yes. The THQ sale is much more competent than this joke of a sale. An entire publisher taking visibility for FOUR games. Meh.

Well with Moore's Law (double the transistors every 18 months) is probably dead yes, speed-wise we got bottlenecked into 3-5Ghz for a while, mostly due to heat production; So they added more cores and more parallel processing. Now they have issues putting more transistors on the dies, at 3nm how transistors work are getting fuzzy with physics where it can't reliably work if they get any smaller.

Though i say that and then i saw a video from LTT where the $5000 machine with 512Gb RAM and 150+ cores and 100TB Storage... Means things could just go towards selling server hardware. Or maybe we don't need anything that powerful...

The next step they've been looking at for a while is Graphene, if they can mass-produce it cheaply...

Hmmm i'm not convinced. Remember tons of scalpers, so only in the last year or so have people actually been getting the PS5, so the 'units sold' is a terrible metric. I can only hope Scalpers buy up all the Pros, and then the demand is so low they have to sell at a loss and then scalpers will decide it isn't worth it anymore. Also games on option aren't that many, mostly i see remake/remasters or running PS4 games, so the PS5/pro... i don't know. I really don't know.

I'm pretty sure CDP would absolutely love to make it happen ('cuz any new entry in their store means more sales means more money, right?), but it's the publisher who has to make it happen, not the dealer ;-)

Not desperate enough to release a game on GoG if on another place it could safely be 80% of the PC income and probably even with Denuvo attached everywhere. I guess... Sony is less worse than a bunch of other companies who are strongly focused on pretty self centered interests. Sure, Sony as a company is profit oriented, but i guess they do understand that competition is important... they are as well part of the competition.

Besides: Alloy may have eaten a bit to much cakes somewhere at the "time off", yet she is still beautiful. There are actually way to many girls which got "to much"... lets be honest, but it still does not automatically remove their attraction.
