But without an out-of-10 score at the end I'm not sure how you feel about it! :/

darthv722762d ago

there was a time when the Neo Geo was the most powerful console, same with the 3DO and eventually the PS2 and so on. Rather than speak in absolutes... it prob would be wiser to express how the PS4 Pro is the most powerful console today, or currently on the market. As "ever" implies there could be nothing better which we know is not the case. There will be a PS5 and possibly a PS6.

unless PSLS knows something the rest of us don't........?

It's the most powerful console in the time that is still viable in this generation. When Scorpio comes there's only about 20% left of the generation before PC devs start to widen the specs gap between consoles and PC.

freshslicepizza2762d ago

sony has a hit on their hands because they know console gamers enjoy having more power, which is why so many are going to be trading in their regular ps4 systems. console gamers are willing to pay extra, the more expensive $600 ps3 outsold the cheaper $500 ps3, the $400 xbox 360 also ouutsold the cheaper $300 xbox 360.

sure power doesn't mean everything but it does have an impact in sales.

XanderZane2762d ago

PS4 Pro is a great console upgrade. Yes. Greatest and most powerful console ever? Hhhmm.. no.Take it for what it's worth. It's an upgrade over the original PS4. Anyone who doesn't have an PS4, should be buying the PS4 Pro on 11/10. It's that simple.

gamingpro2762d ago

Ps4 pro Greatest console ever made. Lmao! maybe most powerful at the moment but far from great. Power doesnt equal greatness.

Maybe if Sony had some games that wasn't really movies. Lol d;o)

zaherdab2762d ago

"Achievement unlocked" ... Troll of the day

gamingpro2762d ago

lol most unoriginal comment of the day. Anyone who thinks ps4 is crap is a troll. Welcome to N4g

S2Killinit2762d ago (Edited 2762d ago )

maybe it wasnt original to you because you keep trolling? Food for thought.

OP: I cant wait to play on this thing.

IamTylerDurden12762d ago

Bloodborne, Driveclub, MLB, Killzone, Gran Turismo, LBP, Dreams, Alienation, Resogun, Fat Princess...are these movies?

S2Killinit2762d ago (Edited 2762d ago )

@gamingpro
That just sounds like an admition of defeat.

zaherdab2762d ago (Edited 2762d ago )

@gamingpro u can think what u want dude ... but trolling is trolling no matter how you spin it.
Using "Lmao" and "Lol"s to laugh at ur own joke is beyond endearing though

Its the most powerful console right now yes and is the best place to play games right now yes.. The hate needs to chill.. Big ups to m.s making their console stronger.. Their starting a new gen, its not a mid gen refresh they trying to get away from that aroma.. Lol Sony bathing in theirs.. Hope both consoles do well!!

IamTylerDurden12762d ago

They haven't made Scorpion yet.

classic192762d ago (Edited 2762d ago )

That's exactly why its a new console and not a gen refresh.. m.s. has word of mouth so the console is made, but it won't stop nothing Sony is doing.. Hope both do well though.

This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.

darthv721d 21h ago

I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.

As long as it is durable; it's a deal.

Sony Says The PS5 Is Its “Most Profitable Generation To-Date"

During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”

It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.

Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.

Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I want RPGs for PSVR2! Good ones of course

shinoff21832d ago

If it had some rpgs I would buy right fking now. It looks dope and alot of fun, but it's biggest game resident evil 4(maybe) I've got no interest in. I'm not a fan of racing games, even with that metro game coming i was never much into that series. Rpgs would be fantastic.

MrNinosan2d ago

Lemme know if ya wanna play some Zenith 🙌
Bought it at release, but haven't played it more than 1-2 hours but for sure on my "todo list".

Cacabunga2d ago

Normal when they released mostly cross gen games so far. That’s a lot of money saved..
We haven’t seen what PS5 can do yet. 4years in and PS4 games still look great to me. The gen leap isn’t quite there yet.

--Onilink--2d ago

The interesting metric for me is the $106billion in operating income/profit (not sales as mentioned in the article) reaching the same as the PS4 did with only half the consoles sold.

In particular because they all are supposed to be making the most per hardware sold after a few years when manufacturing costs are down.

So even putting inflation aside(and the higher console price), it is interesting that they could reach PS4 $ with just half the consoles sold.

Maybe there is more to the metric thats whats seen at face value, but they have clearly been making a lot more money than before on the software side (with also less games released I suppose, given its only been half the generation so far)

VersusDMC2d ago

The bulk of the money has to be coming from the 30% cut on all games and microtransactions. Especially on all the free to play juggernauts like genshin, apex, fortnight, etc.

--Onilink--2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Versus

They are definitely making a lot on that for sure (which the $70 price increase factors into as well), but its not like many of those games werent around for the PS4 too.

They might be counting the gen as a whole and not just PS5 itself (so extra profit from PC sales, whatever that may be)

PS+ price increase and different tiers probably amount to part of that too.

But in general, its still quite a surprising metric. Half the time, half the consoles sold, less first party games released so far and still already making more of a profit than last gen is quite something, and as mentioned, there is probably more to it that we dont know, after all, since we are talking about operating income, all the expenses they have also factor into it, so it is also possible that they have found ways to significantly reduce that + all the means of increased revenue that appear to be factoring into the equation

All in all, just an interesting situation from a business perspective

porkChop2d ago

It's for the whole generation, so it would likely be including PC. They also make much more profit on digital sales vs retail, and digital is far more prominent these days. The generation also started at the height of COVID when everyone was home, spending far more money on gaming/hobbies. It makes a lot of sense for this gen to be more profitable.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Obscurely, those trolls or troll will not show in these articles as the truth is contradictory to his or their orchard-sized daily dose of copium and hopium.

Tacoboto2d ago

Or... They're intentionally trolling you guys specifically. Because they know it upsets you so easily.

Name-dropping Orchard, after this many months? How long has it been and he's still in your thoughts?

Elda2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'm quite sure the individual is reading these positive comments downvoting & seething at the same time. Edit: It just downvoted my comment...lol!!

Hofstaderman2d ago

No I'm entertained by this individual. I love unhinged people, they are so interesting lol.

repsahj2d ago

Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.

JackBNimble1d 14h ago

That happens when half of your games are cross platform. I'm still waiting to see what the ps5 is capable of, because they sure haven't pushed any limits.

And where are all these ps5 exclusive games?

sagapo2d ago

Not really surprised as Sony barely has any competition at the moment.
