Indeed, we need Nintendo to kick Sony in the ass. I actually hope that will happen as a PS fan.Don't worry, Sony will learn the hard way once the Switch 2 comes out next yearWhen they see the Switch 2 selling gangbusters, getting all the 3rd party exclusives, and having their 1st party games sell like hotcakes at full price. While Sony watches their PC ports sell terribly, all of their live service games flop, and will find themselves not getting the 3rd party Japanese exclusive games that they used to be. They'll become depressed and confused, that's their punishment for going against their own hardware and the undefeated traditional model. They should've saw what it did to Xbox.
Dumb people never learn from their mistakes = Xbox
Good people learn from their mistakes = Sony
Great people learn from others mistakes = Nintendo
And guess what, now Xbox consoles are worthless. Using Microsoft as an example is hilarious because Xbox is retarded and a laughing stock.
That was the past, current Nintendo is a different beast
It's the only way these idiots at Sony will learn
I don't think "they" will learn. The current leadership caste needs to be fully replaced. Not that Jimbo/Herman combo have many more years in the rotating chair (3, or 4 max). Sony's CEO on the other hand, way too suspect. I'll def get him out for someone that understands fully how the golden goose works, cause clearly the man does not understand the intricacies of the market, and its competitive environment. All those grand company plans are fine until the goose doesn't produce as many eggs as it used to, eggs to which you were counting on to be produced to feed every other leech in the company.
Weird, if Sony thought Horizon 1 didn't sell, why are they porting Horizon 2?
Pretty much. They have ZERO media presence.
Baldur's Gate 3 is not a PC exclusive, by definition LOL.
Nintendo now is a different Nintendo back in the day. What is so hard for some people to understand. Zelda franchise has never been this big, same with other Nintendo franchises. This means that as long as there is a nice performance uplift, the console will sell like hot cakes. Brand loyalty has never been stronger, people who use past examples need to take into account how many fans Nintendo was able to gather because of the Switch.
That’s what the Wii U was, more of the same, and they completely overplayed their hand.
Did you not get the memo.??? Console owners are moving to PC... it is the end.
Man you really just pointed out something I never thought about but makes a lot of sense. The biggest problem with this PC strategy is that it is half-baked. Sony commits to Playstation console, but they also want to grow their PC presence, but it is impossible to have a strong PC presence if they do not put more effort into it, which means porting 2-3 years old games will not cut it. Moreover, this PC push dilutes the main focus of the company, every expense is an expense, you may say those pc ports might not cause that much but they still require manpower and money, these resources could have been spent on growing their own studios instead. Strengthening Playstation’s portfolio should be done by developing games with various genres to cover every target segment.
Nah, theaters are still valuable, even after movie rentals and streaming services have existed.... and the theater experience in and of itself has degraded constantly over the years.
Sounds like Xbox ceded market share to PC, which clearly solidifies it as a competitor, while Sony expanded their foothold. The PC and Console markets aren't actually that different except for the fact that PC is drastically less profitable and more segmented (and full of shitlords)
The head of Playstation already said they need PC given the economics of AAA game development. Do you want AAA Playstation games or not?
