Not on xbox not on switch what is their counter?

It is available on three platforms. Why is a "counter" needed?

When you don't have a game on your system like xbox or nintendo you need to compete. PC and Playstation are competing cause they both have this its up to nintendo and microsoft to make something equal to this on their platforms to counter it.

Nobody will buy it on PS5. Why does that need to be countered?

Another day another f*ing fighter exclusive on playstation and on PC only. Its not on the switch and its not on xbox.

It got 9 at IGN they called the best looking 2d fighting game ever made. Its from Arc Systems the DBZ Fighterz guys.

Is this an issue or not street fighter 5 still not on switch and still not on xbox now this? What is going on here?

Pedro was saying everything is coming everywhere when is coming everywhere? 20 years from now when were all dead. Dude get this game or get out.

This isn't your grandma's fighter its a hardcore fighting game that people talk about at card shops and niche hardcore places filled with video game players.

I had a group guys at my local card shop and all the played was guilty gear and only guilty gear!

This thing is huge in the niche fighter community xbox needs this and switch needs it. People are talking about it period. People want this game. Its the king of fighters.

I remember they had a 2 arcade sticks and case with a ps4 in it and a tv screen like a briefcase japanese people rock man.

Oh someone release the May charts so we can get rid of him. Please. For the love of God.

@ProtossRushX: “ and were in June right now wait for the official chart”

@sealionact: "Is a bigger user base a reason for buying a ps5?"

Yes, you find more people to play COD and FIFA with on PS4/5 than on Xbox. Plus your friends are on PS4/5, not on Xbox.

"Guaranteed Japanese support?"

Yes, Atlus, Falcon, atelier like, tales of, jrpgs and everything else are guaranteed to appear on PS4/5 and on PC, but they'll skip Xbox as usual.

"Better controller?"

Haptics, adaptative triggered and design improvements plus dual shock design is reference to gaming in general for people, not Xbox controllers.

"The only reason to buy a ps5 is its exclusives…"

Wrong as stated above. Give up, you won't convince anyone beyond fanboys that Xbox is worth something, it isn't. Gamepass is not really appealing and if it was full price (it isn't, it costs $1 for a few years) it would be failing.

Series S are always on stock everywhere because people don't care about Xbox. At this point, MS should give up on its console and invest on the cloud and in the PC, where it actually has space to grow. As the market is right now, Xbox is a distant 3rd place and clearly is only sought after when PS consoles are unavailable and the series s is a turd nobody really cares about, a misfire by MS.

There is another aggravating factor that it's on MS's way: most people already have large libraries on PS4 and they won't be trading that for Xbox and gamepass. Xbox losing last gen was a very strong blow in its business and gamepass is not moving any numbers. It's a lost war. MS had a last chance last gen and it blew it. It's over.

1. Even if you ignore crossplay with other platforms - which has more support on Xbox - you are more likely to have MP players on Xbox, because Sony doesn’t do MP games. Sony gamers play the usual SP 3rd person action adventures.

2. Sony have abandoned Japan. The PS platform is largely run by Europeans, and it’s HQ has moved to the States. They continued to cut Japan Studio’s budget quoting “Less need for games that only sell well in Japan”….then they closed the whole studio down. Meanwhile MS are interested in buying “several” Japanese studios. Even ignoring that, why would Japanese support - which is aimed at and mostly supported by a smaller number in the Asian market - be a reason to buy any console in Europe or the US? Sales of those games have shown us we largely don’t care about Japanese oriented games. After all, as you keep insisting - it’s all about sales numbers.….which is why Sony closed SIE Japan.

3. No, Dual shock is not a ”reference” to gaming. PC gamers continually prefer Xbox controllers over Sony controllers, and gimmicks such as the useless microphone and trackpad don’t make it a better controller - as always, it’s down to preference. There is no objectively better controller.

4. If Gamepass isn’t appealing, then why are over 24 million gamers subscribing to it which compares to 3.2 million PSNow subscribers on a console that sold twice as many?

5. You’re basing your belief that people don’t care about Xbox on the partial availability of Series S consoles?

MS have fixed all the issues that their last console faced at launch. They’ve launched a stronger, cooler, quieter, smaller more minimalistic design console with peripherals that work between last and current gen. They’ve been clear about how BC works, and crossbuy too. They stated that last gen consoles will be supported for some time to come, and added features such as Dolby Vision since launch. They’ve made the biggest purchase in gaming history which takes some of the biggest names in gaming and puts them available day 1 on Gamepass.

Sony stated that you needed to buy a ps5 to experience next gen games because they “Believe in generations”. Countless PS4 owners pre-ordered and bought PS5’s knowing the next GOW, GT, HZD etc were only coming out on PS5…..then they flip flopped. The games that apparently would “never work” on PS4 are coming out on PS4.
Sony assured their fans that ps4 and 5 controllers couldn’t swap between systems, meaning you’d have to buy another ps5 controller if you wanted to split screen….then they allowed PS5 games to be controlled by the DualShock when streaming on a PS4. BC has been totally ignored beyond PS4, and multiplat last gen games run consistantly better on XSX.
Crossbuy has been a nightmare for some, a downright cash grab for others. You own Spider-Man on PS4 and want To play the ps5 version on your new console? That will set you back 70 bucks.
Features and updates have been painfully slow….it’s June, and Sony still haven’t certified a single SSD for expanding it’s already smaller storage. No Dolby Vision despite Sony proclaiming how much of a difference DV makes to their Sony TVs.

Sony have one goal and one strategy - produce as many big name exclusives as possible. If it underperforms - like Days Gone - then sequels will be cancelled and efforts are put back into the usual formula which is why seeing the 3rd remaster or remake of The Last of us.

As much as you would like it, Xbox isn’t going anywhere.

Well, looks like Returnal is #51 on the PSN best sellers for PS5 games.

Holy flop Batman… I saw reports that sales died quickly, but this is terrible news for poor old Protuss. Still, won’t take him long to make yet another alt….he couldn’t survive without this place.

Used to be a time Cows would moo about their games. Nowadays, the herd are just a-mooing about Phil Spencer and Gamepass.

Another insecurity thread from someone who doesn’t own a ps5 (But said he did), has none of the games on PS4 that make the PS4 great (According to him) and is just desperately trying to spam these forums before his account gets deactivated based on yet another silly claim.

@sealionact: "then that is the only possible reason I can give for getting a ps5 over an Xbox."

Bigger userbase, guaranteed japanese support, better controller, brand power. Just a few reasons why ps easily dominates Xbox. Also, once the price of GPUs and CPUs finally normalize, there'll be no reason at all to go Xbox over PC. Nintendo and Sony have real reasons to justify its existence whereas Xbox hasn't.

Is a bigger user base a reason for buying a ps5? Anybody who bought a product based on how many people bought it instead of whether or not it was something they actually wanted will tell you that’s not a good justification for spending money.
Guaranteed Japanese support? After Sony basically abandoning the Japanese market?
Better controller? Extremely subjective. Especially when the dual sense was hyped around the haptics and microphone…..the first of which makes the second practically useless?
The only reason to buy a ps5 is its exclusives….and seeing as Sony lied about how they believed in generations and as so many of those games are available elsewhere….yeah, there’s like 3 or 4 genuine exclusive reasons to buy a bigger, weaker, arguably uglier console with less features, less support and less interchanging with last gen.
