PlayStation Studios and our partners have used these opportunities to expand their creative toolkit and deliver a true generational leap for players.”
It's nice that there are still so many consumer zombies; actually, there's no reason to buy a PS5 since most of these games are also available for PC.
Ah yes, please, Sony. Without my purchase, it would only be 39 million.
The console must be really awful and offer pretty bad games if it sold so well 😀 I enjoy it every day 😀
It won't be long before the two meat salesmen come around the corner again and badmouth everything.
At least meat consumption doesn't shrink your biceps.
As a salad consumer, does one feel good because a tech company praises one for spending money on a plastic box?
