>So, Nintendo will start charging for online play?
they need something you can actually play online first.
>>340181639
Oh fuck.
>>340181639
The same could be said of all next gen systems.
>>340181639
MK8 says hi.
I think they'll have free online play as a selling point but have a premium payed service like what PS+ used to be.
>>340182546
So does Splatoon.
>>340180963
I sincerely doubt 2016 PSN is making more money than 2015 PSN.
2016's Golden Week sale was so pathetic that I didn't buy anything.
>>340182667
That's going to be pushed hard.
Every 4th time you quick boot your games.
>>340180963
So, you are saying that if Nintendo makes you pay for online is bad but if Sony does the same is good?
>>340182546
>>340182669
Two whole games? Sign me the fuck up!
>>340182546
MK8 gets boring for a while.
>>340182926
Smash
>>340182926
Xcx
>>340183157
Online smash is the worst example. They don't even try
>>340183157
There's also Pokken, Mario Maker, and MH3U.
>>340182926
Also smash
Now name 3 decent online games for your console of choice that can't be played on pc :^)
>>340182926
Monster hunter, Pokemon, Fire emblem have online battles.
You should look better shitposter kun.
>>340180963
Can't I instead just wish for a world where so many people don't fall for the scam of paying to play games online?
Nintendo can't charge for online play until their systems have party chats, voice chat on most if not all games, system wide messaging and offer some incentive like better discounts and *free* games on the PS and Xbox side.
>>340180963
Is Kaz still on top at sony
>>340180963
Iwata would never allow for this
but he's dead
Long live Iwata, Wii U was the last good console for gamers. just not the greatest console for everyone.
not gonna be hyped in the future, this E3 is already looking like shit from Nintendo's end anyway.
Nintendo doesn't have departments in films and other electronics so of course they make far less money.
It's going to happen. I blame Microsoft for starting this paid online meme. It hurts to be a Nintenfag, but after the Wii U, it was obvious paid online will be coming to the NX.
>>340180963
>So, Nintendo will start charging for online play?
PSN isn't PS+, you fucking idiot
PSN represents all of their digital sales. It's like saying Sony's eShop is selling more than all of Nintendo.
>>340185010
But a huge chunk of money comes from PS+
>>340184897
Microsoft and Bethesda did so much harm in general to gaming, it's fucking repulsive.
>>340185316
ps+ costs less than one (1) new game. I wouldn't say it's a huge chunk.
>>340180963
>hey guys I got it
>lets charge for free online
>5 dollars they won't think twice about paying for otherwise free services
>>340185494
If you consider the fact that millions own PS+, i think it's a good chunk of money regardless.
>>340181639
>MK8
>Splatoon
>Smash
>Pokken
>Monster Hunter
>Mario Maker
Just a few I can come up with within seconds
>>340185316
It's not nothing, but PS+ is just a fraction of PSN revenue. Even if *every* PS4 owner had a PS+ subscription the annual revenue would only be 2 billion. PSN's 2015 revenue was 5 billion.
>>340185494
thats 5 dollars a month from every online customer every month for a year
that money isn't going to a publisher, developer or who ever, its going straight into sony's pocket and they're banking on the price of a new game every single year
>>340185627

2 billion is 40% thats a huge chunk, an insignificant chunk would be sub 5%
>>340182759
Check Sony's financial statements. FY2015 Sony PSN made over 800M in revenue if I remember right, I think PSN made in FY2014 500M or something along those lines.
>>340185618
ofcourse the anon will ignore this and continue to shitpost
>>340182957
you're more than likely boring
>>340185742
>2 billion is 40% thats a huge chunk
Uh, I was talking best possible scenario. Obviously not every PS4 owner has a PS+ sub, not even fucking close.
>an insignificant chunk would be sub 5%
It's probably fairly close to 5%.
>>340185385
Maybe if you're a poorfag.
>>340185618
Wow 6 whole games I can subscribe for.
>you're a poor fag if you don't want to pay for free shit
>>340186882
As opposed to which PS4 exclusives?
>>340185010
Sony has started to put more games on sale latelly
>>340185896
That's delusional at least half of PS4 owners have it to play online sports games, Call of Duty, Uncharted etc.
>>340185765
Its on /totally fluffy/ shitposting guide by ruggarell.
NEVER EVER argue against facts, JUST ignore it an continue your shitposting.
>>340187080
They do
>>340186958
No one ever said anything about Exclusives dude.

Speculation at best
The point is, PSN isn't outselling all of Nintendo because of subscriptions, as OP is implying, PSN is outselling all of Nintendo because there are a lot of Playstation owners buying things digitally instead of physically, as well as Nintendo obviously doing very poorly in the 8th gen marketplace
>>340187080
No they just play fifa offline
>>340187259
>>340187227
>Speculation at best
>>340187227
This list indicates at least 15-20 million subscribers which would be like 2 billion.
>>340187227
I guess Japs don't like Online games.
>>340187627
Oh wait I thought that was PS plus never mind.
>>340187910
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/01/05/ps4-sales-reach-18-5-million-worldwide/
Last numbers I can find says 11 million subscribers, and that's across all playstation platforms. PS4 owners have doubled since then so it's reasonable to conclude there are probably 20 million now, but my 2 billion estimate assumed 40 million subscribers... and that's only half that.
Sony is obviously making money off of PS+ subscriptions, there's no doubt about that. I just think it's annoying that most people see "PSN" and they think it's synonymous with "PS+". It's not. PSN represents Sony's digital store across all their consoles, and PS+ subs is but just a small part of that picture. Saying Nintendo should start charging for subscriptions because Sony's digital store made 5 billion last year makes no sense. It doesn't follow.
>>340187757
they're too busy playing splatoon to play shitty westerner shit.
>>340187757
They didn't fall for the PS4 #4theplayers meme marketing
>>340187910
Please replace your image with this one.
Let's avoid clickbait.
>>340183426
Idk if you have tried to play Smash online but it is definitely not playable.
>>340180963
Not really sure if they're in a position to. NX will need all the good PR it can get.
>>340189189
Wonder if by the same logic we can expect region-free next genNope, please understand

Nintendo had a good run, but they're a bit of a relic. Unless the NX is the exact opposite of the Wii U it doesn't have a chance, and even then it might be too late. Nintendo cannot survive two failures in a row.
