No wonder it's actually a useless console that serves no purpose but to pad the pockets of a corporation.
You wont be saying this when GTA6 drop and u got the game on series x or base ps5 running on sub 30 fps with texture loading problem or sub 1080p resolution

To the people looking on the bright side, All playstation and sony does is lie and take its customers for a ride. I wont believe anything they say even if its something as ubiquitous as earth revolving around the sun.

And Please stop comparing to xbox and feel good, Scoring a little better than the class dunce should not be the bar for success

What is so hard to believe? Thats its selling like PS4 Pro? Did your hopes of doom and gloom and failure not happen

Ill compare it to what I like

Will be very interesting to see the sales compared to this poll.


People who are interesting:

Less than 500K: John Elden Ring aka Dragouth
500k - 1 million: arvfab, etfilio, ToTTenTranz
1-1.5 million - Thicc
Why no mentions for your ChatGPT buddy or the other 15 voters in the same range as @thicc_girls_are_teh_best ?

What about @Bryank75 having the same prediction as me and the other "interesting" ones?

I don't think there was malice behind their predictions. But you guys are the chorus and represent the doom squad and you're in a tough spot right now. Sony is continuously proving you wrong and you can't stand it. It doesn't mesh with your worldview. I closed the poll early because I knew people like you would try to go back and change your tune.

How exactly is Sony proving me wrong?

Did they start improving their gaming output and quality? Have they done some pro-consumer things I'm not aware of?

And what malice is behind my prediction?

And most importantly: how much will your asshole burn if one of us oh so bad boys is right with our prediction?

Yeah, they actually have. This year they produced what could possibly be GOTY in Astro Bot and they produced one of their best selling games of all time in Helldivers 2. That's a successful year by any definition.

For next year they have

Ghost of Yotei
Death Stranding 2
Marathon
Probably Venom

And who knows what else will come out

You're a doomer, that represents malice.

Your predictions won't be right because they were laughably low.

2 good games and... Concord. Still some work to do regarding both quantity and quality.

You can scratch DS2 from that list, not a 1st party game anymore.

And "probably" Venom. So ok, we don't know if they actually are improving anything. One can hope, right?

I'm a gamer, not a ChatGPT clone infected by a virus. Sony is doing a lot of things which - for me, a gamer, not a beanscounter - are wrong and I have good arguments to make for those decisions to possibly have negative impact in the long run. I know you like the taste of the sweat beneath their scrotum so you will say yadda yadda they are doing fine, so their is no point in continuing this kind of discussion with you.

If having concerns makes me a doomer, then you and your likes are the Sony balllickers and should have an own thread where you can circlejerk together.

Your predictions won't be right because they were laughably low.

So the answer to my question is: mexican food butt-hurt. Got it.

And what will you say if Lego Horizon turns out to be a quality game?

Find me every year where you think Sony put out 3 or 4 bangers in their entire time in the industry.

You can scratch DS2 from that list, not a 1st party game anymore.

So it being 1st party matters to you? Do you care if sony owns the IP or if sony produced the game. You're entirely inconsistent on this. Make sure you're careful here in your definition of what counts before you make your list above.

Venom leaked, we know its slated to come out next year and we also know that Sony has more than that coming out too.

This sounds like you ran it through a dumber incel version of chatgpt.

You're very butthurt, clearly. As Sony keeps having success and growing despite your unbridled anger towards them.

They don't even have to be all bangers. I already made you such a list in the past, go and look for it if you care. I don't.

So it being 1st party matters to you? Do you care if sony owns the IP or if sony produced the game. You're entirely inconsistent on this.

I'm talking about Sony, so yes, I care and I've always been consistent with this.


Make sure you're careful here in your definition of what counts before you make your list above.

Why? Will the police come at my house if I incorrectly count a non-1st party game?


Venom leaked, we know its slated to come out next year and we also know that Sony has more than that coming out too.

We also had a Spider-Man 2 DLC leaked, yet here we are with Insomniac announcing a PC version instead.


This sounds like you ran it through a dumber incel version of chatgpt.

There is even a dumber version of your kind?

You're very butthurt, clearly.

I'm not the one bending at 90° to take it without vaseline from Hulst.

As Sony keeps having success and growing despite your unbridled anger towards them.

Oh I'm so so angry at them, that a Pro is awaiting me at home once I'm back from the vacation I've taken out of desperation of Sony doing good.

I'll admit that I underestimated the sales of the Pro. I definitely thought the high price would dampen demand, and now that the hardcore have bought in they have plenty of room to have promotions to bring in people on the fence.

It's really not malice, I love PlayStation so much.

You really want this thing to fail. Lol
It's here nor there to me? I supported the PS4 Pro. I don't care to support this cash grab currently. However my comment is eluding to the fact sales were always gonna be strong for the Pro initially.. let's see how it sells out of the holiday season.

The marketing was stronger this time around. The showcase of example games sold a lot of people when they otherwise would’ve been on the fence.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is night and day against the base PS5.
