Did you increase your trolling level or something, you can not be serious right?
Jason Schreier/Bloomberg: PlayStation boss Jim Ryan is stepping down
- Thread starter Abdizur

I don't think the overlap is as perfect as you think. I have PC and PS5, some games I prefer to buy on specific platforms. E.g. BG3 on PC. BG3 also released on PS5, so there is competition there and Sony needs to make PS as competitive in comparison to alternative versions as possible. But I would never wait several years to buy GoW on PC, and I assume a lot are the same. They should cancel PC ports simply because of low sales and makes the exclusives look weaker, not any other factor.
he is right. (more or less)
Why do you think PS was able to make Horizon Zero Down?
1. Halo irrelevancy
2. Being able to partner with Activision to get CoD marketing and time-exclusive shit.
Man tried so hard to be this good guy persona
You are next on the spank list Philly boi.
It is not true. Jimbo has been with SME/SCE/SIE for 31 years, and 1991 to be exact. He also has a master degree. So the dude must be at least in his 60s.
Thats dumb
Playstation first party studios are different than third party publishers
He's just the interim leader. He likely won't be over it long enough to make any real decisions.
consumers' time and money are the same.
if sony flood its portfolio with a GasS is going to inevitably cannibalize other ones.
look at genshi impact and the other one.
Sony as is (Single-player narrarive driven centric games) are not really competing with the CoD's, Apex, and Fortnites. and the few and far between third party single player games (the wizard game) can benefit from sony's marketing. if sony suddenly has its own wizard game....someone is going to lose.
Well, yeah, because that was mainly Mark Cerny (and his engineering team), not Jim Ryan.
Playstation could lose Reeee customers though, like three of them.
Playstation could win the heart of casual consumers, but Reee customers would boycott them.
In general you're correct but the demographics on Playstation wildly differ. E.g. the 1 million people who only play CoD on Playstation, and however million that primarily play it or other games (Fifa) on the platform without much connection to 1st party games. GAAS targeting consumers like that is simply trying to replace 3rd party games in that genre with 1st party games in the same vein. I do not play CoD, I will likely not play the GAAS releases, so as long as Sony isn't stripping funding from Insomniac to make them what is the issue?
Shawn deserved to be canned.
He the one who greenlit PC ports.
Jimbo has been with PS for 30 years, I hate him as the guy who owns the forum but, well he deserved some credits.
