The US is a big market for them, to be fair. But they shoudn't protect it to the detriment of everyone else. People won't forget and might not be so quick to pick up a PS6 next gen ; I've read lots of posts on reddit from people from Australia & NZ cancelling their PS Plus subs where the price hikes have already taken effect.
Sold mine at the start of the year too. Hardly used it throughout 2024, and with a PC I don't feel I'm missing out on anything Microsoft/Xbox wise. As for the PS6, I'm sure millions will buy it ... but there are so many factors that could decimate sales eg. global economy crash, Sony being greedy and bumping prices in UK/Europe/Asia to offset the US market, expensive launch price eg £999. Who knows how it's going to play out ? The video game industry is in a bad place and none of the major players are showing themselves in a good light at the moment.
That may be true regards FOMO, but I do feel that the video gaming industry is beginning to shift into uncharted waters where the price of entry is beyond the average person ( due to cost of living crisis, wages lagging behind inflation etc ). When people, en masse, legitimately can't afford games/hardware the consequences for the likes of Sony, Nintendo etc could be catastrophic. There's always someone who says " ah, but console games back in the early 90's, adjusted for inflation, were just as expensive" - which is true to an extent, but the cost of living and purchasing power of wages were better then , plus gaming is much more mainstream now which should, in theory, help keep the cost to the consumer down. Steam is an exception, and has been for a decade or more, with regular deep sales ... but even the PC space is being hamstrung by rapidly escalating costs for components, especially GPUs. Something is going to give in the next few years ... we're going to see at least one major company crash hard.
Sony Interactive Entertainment are based in the US however.
That's a shame. Can't say I experienced any motion sickness when I played it on Game Pass. How close are you to the screen ?
Used to get it from Doom on the Atari Jaguar - just kept pushing myself, and it went away. Only time I've ever had that issue in gaming - mind you, being an old fart now, it's probably a different story
Not me mate, downloading in rest mode always works well for me. Not being facetious but have you restarted the console after making the settings changes?
Nothing to do with being disc based - all my games are disc based and still update in rest mode.
