I mean, he's not wrong tho. Feels like almost every thread here turns into a Sony is doomed discussion.
Reading shills, idiotic takes and ChatGPT accounts is also tiresome, yet here we are. Nobody is being forced to stay here.

Seeing the PlayStation Studios logo at the beginning of the Death Stranding 2 trailer, I doubt an Xbox release will follow just a year later.

Arrowhead want the game on Xbox. If Kojima got a deal, I would be pushing for the same if I was arrowhead CEO.
Sony owns the Helldivers IP. I'm pretty sure Kojima had a deal in place to where the Death Standing IP goes to him after 5 years. It always seemed weird to me that he would go independent, have his own studio but not own the IP he creates. Now I see he wasn't that dumb.

Imagine going up to a Best Buy employee and asking him/her "Now which movies are exclusive to this Sony Blu Ray player?"

You guys are the Black Knight from Monty Python.

Why is it that amidst all your comparisons you are forgetting that Netflix, Amazon, Max, Apple + do have exclusive content.

The point you’re trying to make actually is that hardware should be open, but obviously there’s the problem of… no standard specs that allow for content to reach all types of hw like with other media.

Sony’s current strategy only works if PlayStation remains the default console, because if hw sales tank, their revenue/profit is going to be decimated. What will Sony do then? Make a PlayStation branded PC? Open a PC store? And your PlayStation digital library won’t even work there.

They are going to lose money hand over fist with this live service push, meanwhile the opportunity cost is a smaller first party of premium single player games which are all multiplatform to an extent at least, driving people to opt for other alternatives.

It’s their funeral.

Because that model doesn't benefit from views. TV shows and movies make money based on the highest bidder.

Game as the platform need as many players spending money in their echo system as possible.

Very big and obvious difference.

Nintendo will Eat Sony alive in next console generation.


Nintendo is a generation behind Sony. It ain’t eating shit.

The Switch was released during the PS4 generation.

The Switch 2 will release during the PS5 generation.

Both a generation behind in consoles power.

Funnily enough Nintendo console sales are compared a generation ahead with the PS5 compared to the Switch.

While the Switch 2 will be compared to the PS6.
