Put a price on it and that'll seal the pact.

On the other hand, you could easily be correct in following the official statements. With the state of the world, maybe it makes sense to get these things out the door and in hands this nov/dec before the economic shitshow reaches more dire stages and belts tighten to maximum.
Nice! By the same devs as Reusseems like we missed another one, that launched today :-D

Nine games that are leaving or have left early access this month!
Is there any way to search for early access games and find if they are going to leave early access?
That was an interesting watch, thanks.
I am impressed that Spencer had the balls to decide something like this because it will definitely hurt the console's launch. I would also bet money that 343 Industries will be placed on the chopping block as soon as the game is released.

In my opinion, releasing the consoles this year is a big mistake.Put a price on it and that'll seal the pact.

Not only is the economical situation dire for many potential buyers, the psychological impact is the bigger reason to postpone it.
2020 is a year that is anxiety-inducing and depressing for many people. The black humor memes are over the top with "lol, 2020 am I right? What happens next month?"
And you want to release a product that only releases every 5 to 8 years and doesn't NEED to release?
Psychologically, it would be better to release it in 2021, the year we've beaten Covid! (hopefully with a vaccine ready) A new beginning! A fresh start! Lets celebrate with a new console generation!
Even if the economical situation hasn't much improved, the good vibes could guide the consoles through a rocky start.
While it could be a disaster in the making if they are released in 2020, underperform, and become just another notch in the "Just 2020 being 2020."
ESPECIALLY! If you don't have many games ready for your stupid train crash in the making because no-one wants to blink.
Halo delay is disappointing. At the same time I still have 3, ODST, 4 and 5 to play b4 hand anyways. Hopefully MS is able to port 5 into the collection asap after 4 now with Infinite delay.
Also this is probably first of several big delays. I expect Cyberpunk, AssCreed and COD to most likely get delayed too. This holiday shopping season and release schedule was cursed anyways with Covid plus the flu season is about to start up which will make everything 10x worse. The industry is still not quite there to be full on 100% digital for console games so a delay here for some games makes sense.

Counterpoint (devils advocate and all that): from a marketing perspective this is a golden opportunity given that everyone will be on their houses with nothing to do. And now that online deliveries are a thing, there’s little reason not to release them now, even if sales projections will be down given that not everyone will be willing to shell 500+ bucks on a new platform.
Forza Horizon 5 hopefully Steamed.
For hardware, that is negligible.
The reason people are at home is because the situation is so dire. Either they lost their job, are doing fewer hours or have to quarantine. I am not talking about the logistical issue, but the psychological impact.
Sure, there is nothing stopping them releasing the consoles in November. But there is a BIG, a HUGE chance that they become a part of the "Fuck 2020, it was awful" Zeitgeist. Especially if they release with barebones software support.
2020 has been a personal shitshow for me and would have been even without the state of the world. Add in the state of the world and I'm in full shell mode. Try not to lose too much ground first, strive for things next year. I'm not alone in this mindset. Would a game console in 2021 be the boost to peoples moods? I'm now sure any one consumer product could be. It would be if they were cancelled this year and the PS5 and XBX released at the same time the world was getting better... But just another 'return to normalcy'
The lack of games is really a problem. I don't intend to be a debbie downer on this but if you believe that Cyberpunk 2077 releases this year, I'm seeking investors for a tower to heaven I'm building. There is not one compelling software reason to own these machines in 2020. Zero. Nada. Zippity zippo. Halo delayed to 2021, BC questions, can anyone name a single PS5 exclusive worth owning in 2020? Anyone????
I'd release them if I believed that I had to strike while some people still had SOME discretionary income left. The way things look now, it looks like a very dark winter is coming up. Get some new consoles in people's hands and hope positive press sticks in people's minds for when they actually have money in a few years could be their thinking.
Poor baby Halo I actually didn't care about the below average graphics, I just wanted to see if it was as fun as it seemed. Plus, semi open world in coop with grappling hooks! [UWSL][/UWSL]

Not to jump down your throat but I understand UWP encrypted packages are how every GamePass game is shipped to customers. I hope I'm wrong but this was my understanding.
In unrelated news, Risk of Rain 2 going 1.0 is wonderful
.
Didn't X1X get discontinued recently? If so you are probably better off taking care of it for a couple years and then sell it to some crazy collector on ebay. You will probably get like 5-10x more for it if you wait.
i didn't know that, interesting.i still have my zelda edition wii u, should check what that sells for these days.
edit: not much
Yea I would wait. It was only available for sale for a couple years. It was pricey so it probably didn't sell a lot. But its still a 6TF console and the BC approach from Xbox will make it more valuable long term imo. It should still be more powerful than the rumored Lockhart too.
Plus places like Gamestop are likely gonna die soon so your ebays of the world will be the only place to buy X1X. I think there could be a lot of demand for it from collectors and crazy Xbox fans.

it might not be a bad idea. my plan was just to sell it to my ex since she was saying she wanted a console with kinect for just dance and xsx will have bc but not kinect bc.
we don't even know the price or release of the xsx so i'm in no rush to make a decision but that is certainly is something to consider.
As far as Fall Guys goes. I do find it funny (even though it is just a PR thing from others and all that) that they are all asking for collaboration type of stuff and yet the only one that had gotten it so far is Valve.
Just finished Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise. I didn’t expect it to click so much with me given that I know nothing about FOTNS.
Yakuza ranking (that I’ve played so far)
0 > Kiwami 2 > FOTNS LP > Kiwami 1 > 3

In Risk of Rain 2 when I start a game for the first time I have like 120fps but then it just goes down and down and sometimes single digits.XD
There are some other Devolver collabs coming (plus some more Valve ones too) if leaks are to be believed. Remains to be seen what the timing of those is.
I hate the convoluted DLC mess for FH3. I own the Standard Edition and both Expansions, but I need to rebuy the game kinda with the Ultimate Edition, because the single DLCs the ultimate edition contains aren't discounted at all. And after that I would still have to buy other DLCs not included in the Ultimate Editon to really own all the DLC. They had a package that contained all DLC but that one got delisted quite some time ago... Sometimes you really have to hate Microsoft. On Steam you would probably get a "complete your collection bundle" and get a much better deal in the end...
The devolver one makes sense but what I meant was how you are seeing third parties (those that have nothing at all to do with the game) asking to have some of their stuff be featured in Fall Guys. It's a little different compared to say Animal Crossing because in Animal Crossing you could use anyways design and stuff like that but that is not the case with Fall Guys.........ohh what if Devolver ends up introducing the market place for Fall Guys.... I better be saving up them skins then.
Also what other skins were the leaks mentioning?
I don't see a 2B collaboration skin anywhere
Hard to say. If you have someone willing to buy it now, I’d sell it in a heart beat tho, but I’m very ‘risk averse’ with this stuff. I’d rather make the money now than play my chances some years down the line.
So AI: The Somnium Files is already half the price (not discounted) on Switch and eShop, when can we expect the same price cut on Steam?
I got AI on day 1 and still haven't played it
