This confused me at first two but it makes sense if you consider that the eligibility period probably isn't a twelve month period, as this would greatly penalize games released right toward end of period. Most likely 15-month rolling period.
And most likely April of last year to July of current year period, as Japanese fiscal year for most companies is April-March. Thus a game released April, May, or June of a given year isn't eligible for current year award, but is for next year, thus they can better gauge how many sales its made.
What you said about the graphics is exactly why Sony is foolish to make a PS5 Pro. Cerny apparently believes that developers want to tap as much power as possible, which is only a half-truth. What they really want to do is sell games, which means the PS5 Pro is a red herring. Now developers have to do exactly what Cerny doesn't want them to do, and develop the game in such a way to do a fidelity thing for PS5 Pro players and a performance thing for PS5 players. So not only does PS5 Pro not solve the problem, it makes it worse. (As did PS4 Pro before it.) And to make matters worse, if developers are STILL going to be making PS4 games into 2026, then now you have at least three layers of graphics modes for some games (and maybe four if they do PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, and PS5 Pro), and that's not even considering 2026 is probably when we'll hear about the PS6. Potentially five concurrent platforms?? This is why Sony's messed it all up.
Astro Bot and Ghost of Yotei certainly add to a weak lineup of games that improve a lukewarm reaction to the PS5 and maybe finally get people to move off PS4 and only PS5 like Sony wants, but Sony's got to their part too and not jump overboard on PS5 Pro and not continue to tinker or support the PS4 platform with new operating system updates every month or two and new software still two years away.
Between the Concord abandonment (and apparently nearly half billion dollar loss), PS5 Pro PR flop, and bizarre commitment to support PS4 for a few more years, Sony gaming has unquestionably had the worst month they've ever had - even worse when they shot for the moon with that $599 PS3 launch price.

2023 games for a 2024 award? I can understand if the games were released in December, but TotK came out in the first half.
Very pleased to see Lunar getting remasters. Seems like they'll be using the Working Designs translations, which are love it or hate it for so many. I don't mind them for the most part, although a lot of that NPC dialogue is really out there, but i heard they'll be going over the old translations and making some adjustments, so i'm pleased.
We really have reached the point where graphics aren't the be-all-end-all of selling game consoles. Seeing those side by side comparison shots of vanilla PS5 and PS5 Pro games, yeah, they're not gonna convince the vast majority of gamers. Sony is clearly in desperate need of more games. Not indie games, but games that will demonstrate the system's power.

More email changes have been applied today, using a radically different method.
Microsoft decided to follow Google into requiring OAuth2 authentication for all email interaction, which is very problematic as PHP does not natively support this technology and can only make it work with a lot of additional work, and Simple Machines Forum doesn't support it without its own load of extra work and new code. Micronsoft's deadline for this is coming up Saturday and I've been scrambling to find how I can keep the forum running with email support. Fortunately, I discovered an OAuth2 proxy that can run as a service on my server and translate on-the-fly any basic authentication emails generated by the forum into OAuth2 secured emails.
This is working in my tests, and also has allowed me to switch the forum email system back to sognadigitalmuseum@gmail.com, from outlook.com. However, its new and may present problems.
If you notice any emails not being received, let me know.

Well, with that outta the way, i get more confused with each passing month at the direction Sony is taking its console business. These half-step consoles aren't what the majority of gamers want.
Especially when said half step is to do the things the console touted it would do in 2020 and failed to deliver on. For example, in the upper right corner of all PS5 boxes until recently, there are labels for "8K" and "4K 120". I think a handful of games do 4K 120, but most running 4K only get 30 or 60fps and those running 120fps are usually 1080p or 1440p. Even the brand new Astro Bot, touted as the most advanced game for PS5 yet doesn't do 4K 120: its dynamic resolution jumps between between 1440p and 4K at 60fps. And video I saw earlier said not a single 8K game exists yet though the boxes said 8K on the front until recently. A lot of people are calling out Sony as frauds for misrepresenting original PS5 capabilities, then asking an additional $780 (USD) to get the performance promised four years ago.

Ok to ask, but its not really the forte of this forum to reach too far outside the M.I.N/Silence/Sogna group, or the artists who worked on Sogna titles.
This stuff looks familiar, but I've never seen any kind of disc like that. Kind of looks like a fan information CD, similar to VIPER Digital Museum.
I discovered this forum when I stumbled across a thread asking about a La Blue Girl PC game, so I figured it was not inappropriate to ask about it here. Yes, I think a digital museum of sorts would be what this is. It has content on it never released any where else hence I'm trying to track it down.

Comparison of PS5 Pro prices, including disc drive add-on, at today's exchange rates. In Europe, its over twice the cost of regular American disc model.
