RUMOR: PlayStation Showcase Next Month. | Dev Requirements For PS5 Pro Enhancements. - [LTPS

Let's Talk Plus Weekly Giveaway: linktr.ee/mysticryan
This week we finally get the rumor we were all expecting, a PlayStation showcase coming next month. That, and we have another report about PS5 Pro. Apparently we know have a list of conditions that developers may have to meet in order to receiver a 'PS5 Pro Enhanced' label on their games. Also, we have various rumors from another leaker account that is instead getting called out for being a fraud. Who coulda saw that coming?? We also learned about some day 1 PS Plus Extra games, and news regarding a Stellar Blade sequel. Jim Ryan also said they actually sold 160 million PS2's, which some people seem to have a problem with. Shocker that people would gasp disagree with Jimothy Ryan. Even from the grave?? So disrespectful.

    firstly - OG Xbox literally had a DVD player and was the same or cheaper price than PS2 and it sold terribly like GameCube. Therefore your PS2 DVD argument is insidious and not based on reality and falters right here vs OG xbox. But lets go in-depth. The whole PS2 was cheaper than a DVD player was a myth that has been dissproved long ago, in case that is what you still believe.

“ There is one myth and a few mysteries around PlayStation 2’s DVD player. Many retellings of the PlayStation story state that the PS2 was cheaper than standalone players at launch. This otherwise perfect, in-depth article about PS2 says the console was ‘significantly’ so. This is simply not the case.

Accurate numbers are hard to find, only fueling the misconception. Wikipedia states (almost certainly incorrectly) that DVD players could be found for under $100 by the end of 2000. The excellent America on Record: A History of Recorded Sound by Andre Miller puts DVD players breaking the $100 barrier in 2003, seven years after DVD launched.

Fortune magazine claimed ‘solid’ players could be found in retailers for $200-$400 in their November 1999 issue. Chicago Tribune reported in October 2001 that the average selling price for DVD player in July of that year was $192 - not the lowest, the average.”

Source: techstomper.com/pivotal-decisions-in-gaming-history-playstation-2-and-dvd-playback/

DVD players were as cheap as $200 one year before the PS2 launched(PS2 launch price $299). During the first year of the PS2 the average sales price of a consumer DVD player was $192(the bottom end of that is probably very close to $100).

By 2003 the cheapest DVD players were easily found and readily available at sub $100 prices(the PS4 was $199 then).

The whole “My uncle had a PS2 as a DVD player lol” is basically an urban myth. People didn’t even claim during the lifetime of the PS2 that there was people buying it only as a DVD player, it was something that was invented later. It was cheaper to buy an actual DVD player. Also PS2 still holds the record for the highest games sold for a single platform at 1.5 billion games sold. vs 1.2 billion games of Switch. PS2 also has higher software attach ratio than Switch 9.68 vs 8.67 PS4 has 1.4 billion games sold its the 2nd highest software games sales of all time behind ps2 PS2 > PS4 > Switch

    I also hate the "PS2 only sold well because it was a DVD player" hand wave. PS2's software sales figure is massive and lines up with the console sales numbers. That is the true indication of a platform's success. If loads and loads of people were buying PS2s without the intention to play games, then the software sales would reflect that. For an example of a similar argument where it actually is backed up by evidence, look at the Wii. It has the highest hardware sales numbers that generation, but the software sales number is less than the PS3 and 360 which each sold ~20 million less units. Many people bought a Wii just to play the pack-in game and the low software sales back that up.

    That claim also ignores the fact that the PS1 sold over 100 million units and wasn’t a DVD player. The bigger and better successor was always going to be doing amazingly well. If DVD Playback was all that mattered, the OG Xbox (also a DVD Player) would have sold massive numbers as well.

    I've never heard anyone say it's the "only" reason it sold so well, but I think it was a major factor in it being the best-selling console ever. It put it over the top of its main competitors at the time, because parents were easily swayed by the fact it doubled as a DVD player. At the same time, if it wasn't a top class gaming console then it wouldn't have come close to setting that record.

    ​@@SteMcGovern Many people have claimed that a massive portion of its sales were just for the DVD player. Its software sales is the clear refutation to that argument. People also claim the people only bought the PSP to hack it, but its software sales figures are a little less than the GBA which has almost the same hardware sales numbers. The point is people try to throw all these excuses out to handwave away success when they have no evidence to support those excuses. Software sales are a clear and inarguable indicator of a platform's success.

    it's still a plausible argument. Remember when PS3 first launched, they packed in movies with it. Partly to accelerate blu-ray adoption as the cheapest blu rayy player at the time, but also because last generation, tons of people used their PS2 as a DVD player. in fact, PS2 had a very common disc drive failure issue because of people who utilized it as a games and media device, the eye that read the discs read at a different position depeding on whether it was a game or a CD/DVD, the eye would get stuck in either or position. If you look at the leaked sales data from last year, Sony first party games on PS2 for the most part didn't sell beyond 5 million copies, outside of Gran Turismo, which had double-digit million copies and the only games that came close I believe, was the Grand Theft Auto games, with GTA: San Andreas being the best selling PS2 game of all time. God of War, which was the second highest selling first party franchise on PS2, sold 4.4 million, and GoW2 sold 4.6 million, which are really good numbers for the time. Comparatively, and just to put it out there, Im not console warring. I never played a Xbox game until I got an Xbox 360, but Halo: Combat Evolved sold over 5 million copies and Halo 2 sold over 8 million, despite far less people buying the Xbox console. Xbox back then was being outsold 6:1 globally by the PS2 and it also had a DVD drive. Only about 24 million people bought an original Xbox and I was not one of them. I had a PS2 and my beloved GameCube. Using Ryan's attach rate argument, which in good faith favors PS2 to a general sense, saying there were about 10 games to one PS2 console. If talking about any one game, it does not favor. With Xbox, about 33.333% of everyone that had an original Xbox bought Halo 2 new, which was really good as even in the 8th gen, Xbox One and PS4 first partyattach rates were comparaatively lower. PS4 was actually the first console where more first party games started seeing 10% attach rates. And I say "new" bc the secondhand market blew up during this gen, so there could have been more people that bought these games, but the data is unverifiable. Accounting for a minimum 160 million PS2 sold, as per Jim Ryan's statements, and God of War 2's 4.6 million copies as the second highest first party franchise at the time, only 2.75 - 3.05% of everyone that owned a PS2 bought God of War 2 new. And again, the actual number of copies sold is still good, especially when development costs were cheaper and the dollar was stronger so even in the first few million, games have long since earned profit, not debating that at all. But comapred to PS1 first party which regularly sold about a million or so, that increase doesn't seem that much larger despite more people having bought PS2 compared to PS1 at every comparative point of the gen.

    As most pro consoles do lmao, but then again you have to consider GTA6. Sony wants PS5 Pro to be the best console when that game releases, especially since it won't be on PC at first, and XBox will likely be at least on par with whatever pro consoles they release, but their abandoning physical games with their pro console. So when thousands of people will buy a PS5 Pro or XBox Pro just for GTA6, and only one still offers a disc drive and hopefully better specs, PS5 Pro will do well.

    Have to say while I dont think people bought the PS2 just to be a DVD player, I do think it was a lot of peoples first DVD player. In the UK it was certainly cheaper than buying an actual DVD player and the fact it played games as well was a no brainer for most people to buy one. I used to have a disc you had to put in before playing a movie from other regions and a switcher cable to switch to NTSC as otherwise it would be black and white. I only bought a separate DVD player when they became more affordable, and you could buy either a region free player or buy one that you could enter a code to unlock it. Also, I got a bit tired of the sound and video going out of sync part way through a film, necessitating pausing to get it back in sync. So yeah it certainly was a big selling point at least in the UK.

    Does console need a patch revision feature where you can choose what version of the game to install. But only the most uptodate can play online. Although it's probably still overkill and unnecessary complications, that could confuse more users. So maybe it's not worth it but would be cool for singleplayers games.

Fortune magazine claimed ‘solid’ players could be found in retailers for $200-$400 in their November 1999 issue. Chicago Tribune reported in October 2001 that the average selling price for DVD player in July of that year was $192 - not the lowest, the average.”

Source: techstomper.com/pivotal-decisions-in-gaming-history-playstation-2-and-dvd-playback/

DVD players were as cheap as $200 one year before the PS2 launched(PS2 launch price $299). During the first year of the PS2 the average sales price of a consumer DVD player was $192(the bottom end of that is probably very close to $100).

By 2003 the cheapest DVD players were easily found and readily available at sub $100 prices(the PS4 was $199 then).

The whole “My uncle had a PS2 as a DVD player lol” is basically an urban myth. People didn’t even claim during the lifetime of the PS2 that there was people buying it only as a DVD player, it was something that was invented later. It was cheaper to buy an actual DVD player. Also PS2 still holds the record for the highest games sold for a single platform at 1.5 billion games sold. vs 1.2 billion games of Switch. PS2 also has higher software attach ratio than Switch 9.68 vs 8.67 PS4 has 1.4 billion games sold its the 2nd highest software games sales of all time behind ps2 PS2 > PS4 > Switch

Also real DVD players were cheap, DVD were costing $100 by 2002 itself. Meanwhile PS2 kept selling till 2013 well past DVD high days and already when dvd players were dirt cheap by 2003.

And when you connect to the internet the Portal makes you update it... Spawn Wave went over this. So even if you held onto a brand new one... You aren't going to be able to use it without an update automatically being applied.

    Stuff we need in future PlayStation updates 1. Being able to separate party chat audio from recordings when sharing them 2. Being able to use voice keyboard inside of games 3. Fix an annoying bug that suspends your game when trying to save a clip with a full storage, thus deleting your clip 4. Being able to record System UI 5. Explore tab in all regions 6. This is more of a visual thing but it would be cool to make the default selection in the quick menu to be on the home button rather than being on the far left 7. I'm not a storage expert but if it's possible to make video clips and screenshots to save on your m.2 SSD that would be helpful! 8. Letting more 3rd party services the ability to create media apps for the PlayStation 9. PlayStation Stars being in all regions 10. Being able to check for updates in the library tab, this is currently limited to games that are on the homescreen 11. Backing up save files using a usb on PS5 and not being limited to cloud storage only 12. PS4 players should be able to see your share screen These were some of the most important things that the current state for the PS5 software need after owning the console since launch day. Let me know if there are more options you'd like to see added in the replies and I'll add them to the list ⚠️⚠️ Re-share this comment in every PlayStation related video! ⚠️⚠️
