Can’t blame em. Sony put PS in the same position as Xbox, Sega or Atari.
And if you really look at PS is heading the same direction as Xbox in the other hand when you look at Nintendo, Steam or even Meta there double downing is n there platform to make its storefront defacto in gaming.
Valve has that new Deadlock game which will be exclusive to Steam. Valve will likely make more games that are exclusive to Steam as if it already didn’t get default exclusive PC games.
Nintendo is double downing bolstering its ability to make more Nintendo games by partnering w Bandai Namco creating 2 new studios that will solely work on Nintendo games. Nintendo bought a port studio to port 3rd party games to Nintendo platform resulting in less 3rd party skipping Nintendo platform or even possibly exclusive Nintendo games that aren’t on PS if there PC or mobile exclusive like the TMNT roguelike game (Sony needs to take notes)
Meta slaughtering PS VR double downing exclusive first party that don’t go to any other platform EVER. It’s a pretty simple strategy you make quality exclusive & your platform & storefront gets more 3rd party support further making your platform & storefront defacto. PSVR has no chance with Sony now focusing on PC they can’t support PS, PC, Mobile & VR 1-2 of those platforms will have to be diminished & what are the platforms Sony is deciding to diminish in gaming PS console & PS VR.
It will be funny if PS5 doesn’t surpass PS4 & that will be mainly because PS4 players aren’t switching to PS5 because Sony is making there games cross gen & releasing there games to PC so instead of a PS4 player migrating to PS5 there migrating to PC
. In the other hand you will have to migrate to Nintendo Switch 2 if you wana play new Nintendo games. Nintendo makes there player migrate to Nintendo hardware 100% there’s no question w Nintendo. You don’t buy a Switch 2 you don’t get new Nintendo games.
It will be interesting to see how far is the drop off year after year. Overall PS5 gen has not made people feel comfortable on the PS brand or the new PS console (PS6). Likely I’ll wait a few years after PS6 releases & see whether they drop there port time from 1-2 years to 6 month-1 year if they haven’t fasten the port before PS6
