even buying a game discounted for $10-$20 does infinitely more than playing it on a service....
David Jaffe says Sony needs to change its strategy if it wants to remain sustainable
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Yes. It's going bankrupt in slow motion. One could argue it went bankrupt five years ago, propped up by MTX and Lockdowns.
Look at the trends for tech industry hiring, they're the canary down the mine for gaming. The crash is nigh, catalysed by normies migrating to tiktok to get a super quick dopamine hit.
Crazy that people ever thought for a second that gamepass was profitable or sustainable....
I genuinely hope by the appointment of a Japanese CEO that Sony will relocate back to Japan as HQ to PS. I am so tired of the woke American culture. The day Sony returns PlayStation to Japan is when we will all win.
F@ck westernisation.

Now I see opinions about "sony should also bring their games to xbox".
Why?! Fucking why?! That's why console ps5 exists. Nobody is stopping xbox players to buy ps5 and enjoy those games. Same with pc and GP players.
I would get an xbox if it had something that's only there and I want.
People act like if console choice is one and forever.
And back to the topic - gaas is only good to put old games that are not selling anymore on there. A service for failed games or old games.
But these games won't get a sequel lol. Only way we get more games and better sequel is if a game sales on release and microsoft or sony probably cannot match that revenue for the company... and if they can it is not sstainable
But then wouldn’t these same people start complaining and yapping that PlayStation is only doing remakes and remasters again?
Well in GAF in 2018 I said it could only be profitable if Gamepass entered in all platforms including PlayStation and Nintendo.
It is a nice post to find to somebody necro it in GAF
@JAHGamer you made me found some pearls from the past.

Rumour: Microsoft preparing Xbox App and GamePass for Nintendo Switch
I bet you will need Nintendo Online to stream gamepass. Anyways it will be a trip to sign in to gamepass. I wonder if Microsoft sees opportunity in the Switch as it being the Xbox Handheld in a spiritual manor. Maybe it would be the perfect time to resurrect that Halo DS game! I wonder if this...
|OT| - Next-Gen PS5 & XSX |OT| Console tEch threaD
That is fake. PlayStation 5 will NOT have BC for all previous PlayStations. Mark Cerny already suggested it's only PS4. The PS4 has emulators for the PS1 and PS2 built in, so it's not unreasonable to expect the same of the PS5. You can see evidence of this on YouTube (also note that the...
Opinion - Drama - The Jimquisition - It's Microsoft's Fault That Videogames Are Bad
It feels like not many people here watched it.... He starts out highlighting how Microsoft presided over the generation that really brought in micro-transactions, paid online and other heinous business practices. He then goes on to highlight how they have continued to try and smuggle these...
Windows Central: Is the console war over for Xbox?
https://www.windowscentral.com/console-war-over-xbox In a lot of ways, it often looks like the console war is over for Microsoft, particularly when you look at contemporary metrics. Microsoft doesn't share Xbox console sales figures anymore, instead opting to focus on sharing engagement figures...
Microsoft is finally clarifying the situation regarding future Bethesda games
they have no say in that lol They have no say in a game that will be developed by people who are paid by them for the next 3-5 years? lol
Jim Ryan: PlayStation about big blockbuster games that cost a lot to make, Game Pass model would not make financial sense
That’s funny because I see what , at least seem to be , two very ambitious first party rpgs announced by MS (Fable, Avowed) and zero announced by Sony. I don't know about that amigo so far all I'm seeing and hearing is a big pile of Fraaaaaaap.
But Phil once said that Gamepass "work for them" and since they were able to afford Bethesda and ABK it must be making more money than PlayStation.
I love that complaint after getting reports like 80% of The Last of Us Remastered players being new to PlayStation. The biggest thing people need to realize is that nobody is forced to buy every game released, and that not every game is meant for everybody.
A lot of people are really, really, REALLY fucking stupid.
Hell, there are Xbot tards who think that shutting down a division that has literally NEVER turned a profit on hardware would be damaging to Microsoft!
They probably would and it would not have even the tiniest impact on my enjoyment playing the games.
In his podcast the game directors said that Sony were ok with DG. It was the internal Bend studio manager who didn't want the sequel. Sony made a PC port, is making a movie and included it in the PS+ colletion, some sort of 'best of PS4'.
Never heard about them, but I see the second had good sales and both are well reviewed by users. Looking at their trailer they look like random indies.
I think in any case Shuhei Yoshida's indie division should scout more Steam to look for great indies and paid them the PS5 port.
I agree that ND should do more Uncharted sized games and not all TLOU2 sized games, and that SSM, Bend, Guerrilla should go Insomniac and make more shorter AAA titles like Ratchet, Morales or Venom. Unlike the indies, these smaller AAA games give them a scale of sales and profit that is worth it for Sony.
An indie sized one probably not. It's better for both sides that indies remain indies.
Sony has a shit ton of games, the 3P indies. Don't need to make their own ones and don't need to chang their strategy 'to survive', they are better than ever regading profitability and revenue.
And both are growing a lot in different areas, meaning in a few years they'll be making way more revenue and profit than now.
