Wow their own PC launcher! How's the PSN account requirement going rn?
PlayStation co-CEO Hideaki Nishino says consoles will remain the core of their business
- Thread starter Puff
- Start date
Pretty damn good, as it's required for all their games going forward. Back to your hole.
How many single player studios have shutdown? What billions have been burned?
Firesprite is going to end up shutting down. Media Molecule and Bend are probably going to end up shutting down.
Sony has shut down SEVERAL studios in the past, that doesn't stop them from buying new studios.
What box is this?
The biggest PC games aren't on steam. Is this accurate or no?
PlayStation is going to have more dominance in the console market than valve in the PC market after Microsoft's exit. Geforce now has the best cloud tech, but Nvidia doesn't make its own content. That's always going to be a problem (hence the likelihood that nvidia buys a publisher that you'll ignore). In the meantime Sony will have exclusive content and players for cloud gaming.
One has nothing to do with the other. New PC gamers are playing PC games every day. Not everyone is evangelic (not angelical).
No boycott of GTA6 would work for example, just as no one is boycotting Minecraft, Roblox, or Fortnite, nor did anyone boycott CoD.
A lot of companies don't use DRM like Denuvo
- It's expensive
- They look at data on games with DRM and games without
- spoiler, these people who pirate games aren't buying games anyways
- Many of the people who will buy your game won't because of the DRM and the impact it has on performance
I love that people think that Sony doesn't have data on this stuff.
Sony is in a different position compared to other publishers. A lot of PCMR still sees them as an enemy. So it's more justified for them to pirate Sony's games instead of giving them money
watch out all the fanboys are going to come attack you for speaking the truth. I also saw the writing in the wall and switched primarily to PC gaming consoles are going the way of the VCR
Look at this 4070 rig it’s a $100 more than a PS5 Pro but please tell me how a Pro would cost half the price of a 4070 rig

I'm seeing this configuration at costco going for 1399... and that's with 200 dollars off until 9/15. Not sure what you're doing to get it down to 1199 initially.
If you're a CEO of a company and you don't prepare your company for very possible if not probable changes to your industry, you're not doing your job.
That's the reality that you and other Sony doomers don't realize.
If/when you're wrong, there's no penalty for it. You just go on to the next post, likely wrong about that as well.
Sony has to live with it.
Blackberry stuck with the status quo and they got their shit handed to them by Apple and Google.
Blockbuster also stuck with the status quo and they also get their shit handed to them by Netflix.
Sony has stuck with the status quo for decades and has had it blow up in their faces time after time.
iPod, iPhone, Mac, VAIO, Marvel, TVs, Motion controls, Hybrid consoles...
Correct. Doing it the wrong way, by making decisions which will hurt you in the long term though, is equally bad if not worse.
Let's play your "what if" game:
Someone buys 3rd party publishers with the intention of foreclosure. Which platforms do you think will maintain relevance? The ones with exclusive content or the ones without?
If we are doomers, then you and your likes are either blinded by fanboyism (I mean, it's pretty dark when your head is stuck in an ass) and are therefore not different than Xbox fans who didn't get in which direction the wind was blowing, or are not fan at all and actually hope Sony fails to follow Xbox in the grave.
Chat Gpt ookami and online karen rational skeptic back with their shenanigans, The online karen is seriously advertising a 14th gen intel cpu PC lmfao. He still hasn't given an answer to why he cares where others spend their money, pocket watching others is certainly a hobby
oye chat gpt think before you post examples, the apple products you listed are the prime examples of a closed ecosystem, apple doesn't go around selling software or hardware for windows or any other competitor.
Look at this 4070 rig it’s a $100 more than a PS5 Pro but please tell me how a Pro would cost half the price of a 4070 rig
Well, you wouldn't get those prices in Europe. I guess that's why it's 800 euro for the pro here...and 700 over in the US.
To offer the distinct value proposition, Sony should have aimed for 600.
But then you have people that will never buy a PC...
You don't even need to play - what if.
That's what actually happened with netflix, when Disney and other took out those great IPs out of it.
Usually, these deals very very limited stock, most of it is just Marketing, attract attention, nothing more.
It is impossible supply and sell 100 of thousands of these PC.
It is so disangenious.
Yeah well, we could have a "closer" example with Xbox, which tried to buy 3rd parties with the intent of foreclosure but because of Nintendo and Sony being successful with their "stagnant" strategies, they are now becoming 3rd party themselves.
I guess their revenue/profits will now be better than ever and their fans are making jumps of joy for being shat on.
This whole convo is rediculous.
PC's aren't hard to get running. Once you're into Windows its usually a Steam login and install game/play time.
No one largely pays attention to EGS/GOG etc. The noise comes later when a game actually does release on Steam.
And finally, with many pre-built little handheld pc's there's no building a pc, no exorbitant cost of building (what's an Ally? Approximately £400?), but they have also portability, fan mods/fixes, cheaper game prices, no online paywall, access to competing game stores on one device, and emulation ffs.
Sony NEED a PS PORTABLE with native game downloads to keep up with their competitors, and retain their marketshare.

Valve did mostly solve the integration and UI/UX problem on the Deck, though Microsoft is still to this day just burning possible income for each hour they don't release a TV/controller-friendly front-end for gaming in Win11.
They’re selling a $700 home console, of course it’s the core of their business.
No educated person, who’s into gaming as a whole, is choosing a handheld over a console. That’s a very specific person, or they’re Japanese.
I got a mini pc to act as a media server with my tv and just getting Windows updated with the correct drivers took hours. This lack of immediate functionality is what console buyers seek to avoid.
