Can't complain about the Series S holding back games anymore when they are being made to run on the Switch.

I can't wait for the Switch 2. :cool:

it literally looks like it was designed for Switch which is wild LOL

Following the same logic of the excellent Sony PC port strategy, that according to many users here has not had any negative effect on their console sales, the Switch 2 will be one of the greatest opportunities for Sony to expand their market as a publisher in their entire history, making their games available on the go to a potentially 150m+ users.

TLoU, Uncharted, Spider-man, God of War, Horizon, Bloodborne, GoT, SoTC, Gran Tursimo, Death Stranding, there is no excuse left not to port all these games to the Switch 2. One could even argue that not doing so would be illegal due to their fiduciary duties as well as anti-consumer and discriminatory for specifically depriving Nintendo owners from their rights to play these games.

Since the Switch 2 will have an SSD they could probably manage to squeeze many ports of PS5 games as well like Helldivers 2, Returnal, Demon's Souls and R&C Rift Apart.

Phil Spencer and MS were ahead of the curve.
Switch can’t run most ps games without huge compromises. Lego horizon works because of the art style. They would have to wait for switch 2 to launch

If they are already porting PS5 games to the Switch they sure will be porting even more to the Switch 2. The entire premise of this thread is that they'll will not resist the temptation of supporting the Switch 2 with their games.

Horizon Lego is obviously just the beginning.

Nah, I don't think any more are coming to any Nintendo console unless they're using licensed stuff like LEGO. It's just shit Sony's management that can't negotiate good terms or are shortsighted and don't look ahead.

Remember when they didn't include a clause not to include any of their IPs on GP and DS ended up on PC gamepass?

This is the same situation they have with MBL. They gave away their negotiating power for the sake of using the LEGO IP. Shit decision making but they won't be bringing their IPs unless they;re tied to another major franchise like this.

If they did, Astrobot would have been announced for Switch.

But this level of incompetence will never not be funny. Only Sony's this dumb.

All the games that have been ported so far from PS4 and many PS5 games will be released on the Switch 2 assuming it has a comparable power to that of the base PS4.

You might want to keep making excuses but this is not a coincidence, Sony is clearly opening to releasing all their games on PC and even other consoles. They think this is great for their business.

So I have read comments, many say it was Lego who pushed to be on Switch. Horizon Lego are technically two IPs collaborating. Lego pressure md Sony to release it in Switch and PC. It's weird that Sony did agree to those conditions. It was apparently a Jim Ryan backed decision (yes before anyone defending Jimmy, it's been in development for 4 years, ergo Jim Ryan era). So glad that old geezer is gone. If he was allowed to continue he would have transformed PlayStation in Xbox 2.0

True but why is Sony acting they have no bargaining power? They look weak.

Look at this, Shinobi

So Sony making deals for Lego where they pay money for Lego license & they can’t dictate if it’s exclusive to there platform even thoe it’s using a PS ip so Lego got paid, dictated platforms & Legofied Horizon ip promoting more Lego not just the Lego toys but also Lego game.

Not only that but Guerilla games working on that Lego game instead of Horizon 3, new Killzone or new ip that would be exclusive to PS & push & sell PS consoles, games sells & game subscription deepening PS dominance in gaming platform & storfronts.

This Lego game should’ve been made solely by a 3rd party especially if it was not exclusive.

Guerilla isn't working on the game. Some 3rd party developer is. Very true on the first part.
