When I got the XSX recently, it was so I can play Starfield when it comes out. That was basically the only reason. I did not realize the extensive backwards compatibility that this thing has. But since getting it, I’ve been playing FF13 trilogy, Fable games, Dragon Age series, Lost Odyssey, etc. Basically all games of note...
The simplest and most likely reason is just because they don't have to. Playstation is leading Xbox by a lot this generation (so far, things can change) and PlayStation just has no incentive to add value to something they're already selling record numbers of. Xbox is trying to attract customers, customer playstation has left on the cutting room floor, and backwards compatibility is a way to do that.
The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...
President Biden’s reelection campaign has dubbed former President Trump “Broke Don,” taking a strategy out of Trump’s playbook that his political rivals know all too well....
I know I'm in the minority on this but I've always felt like Trump truly won when we started adopting his shithead name-calling habits.
Its doesn't accomplish anything and reduces every argument to finger pointing and smirking.
He's so much better at it than anyone else cause his supporters don't care what he does and the rest of us aren't that beholden to a single politician to proselytize their every word
Start with 1 (remastered or not, changes are cosmetic and negligible). If you like it, miles morales is short and necessary story wise to play 2. They all play and feel pretty similar so if you don't like 1 don't bother with the next 2
The xbox pic is the Xbox One announcement where they basically said you wouldn't be able to buy used games. On top of that they focused mostly on other media instead of games. Then sony came out on stage, undercut their price and talked only about games.
Not entirely sure about the top right but someone else said it was ps3 which was a famously bad start for Sony because of the price point and focus on other media over games (less so than xbox one but still). Then xbox 360 undercut their price and focused on games.
Xbox One had similar problems. I remember people arguing about what was more powerful back in the day and iirc it was xbox one by a hair, but because of the extra functions they put in it xbox had walled off some of its power from devs using it

Yea I wasn't surprised that people on reddit were ready to forgive and forget in pretty much every sub after a few days, the people that were fed up had already left.
When I was younger my friend group got in a heated debate about something semantic for fun. The opposite side from me tried to prove their point by editing Wikipedia and showing it to me. They had to show a screen shot because it had changed back in the time they ran from the computer lab to the lunch room, I used this in my arguments every time we argued about it after that.
Movies are fine and I'll absolutely watch the third but more than anything I hope Jim Carrey has fun with this role. I feel like I have more fun watching Jim Carrey when he's having more fun. Pretty much the sole reason the sonic movies work is because he steals every scene
I'm pretty sure they're talking about the subtle ad disguised as an email in the promotions tab, its not even from someone I wouldn't expect to send me an email, that's why it's so sneaky. It's literally a promotion from a company whose emails I'm subscribed to.

Backwards compatibility is the best feature of Xbox, and I don't understand why Sony is so far behind on this

One of the get great things about Lemmy is that you no longer get any of those stupid "He Gets Us Ads" that you get over at Reddit. Anyway here is a meme making fun of these Ads. (lemmy.world)
