Yeah I think they're just being more explicit about something they do anyway. It's partly because they're transitioning to being a continuous service instead of a box you buy. And probably publishers can't or won't spend big money on releasing games on one of either the shrinking install base of a last-gen console or the small install base of a brand new one.LivDiv wrote:It is the exact same thing that has happened the past 2 generations.

Yeah, I think so. It sounds a bit shit at first, but probably won't make much difference if games are cross-gen or not for a while. An odd thing to advertise at this stage, perhaps, if you're looking to attract early adopters.RedDave2 wrote:It is a bit of an over inflated issue (I think most of us are maybe just disappointed that despite promises of this being a bigger tech jump than the last gen we aren't really going to see anything groundbreaking for a while on the new machines).

This is the first time AAA games are going to be released over 3 different iterations of hardware though. PS4, Pro and PS5, et al. It's unprecedented and it's got me worried. Games hamstrung by having to squeeze into lower specs or hobbled versions for the older consoles. Take yer pick.
