this is a dumb post, Nintendo has had more square enix exclusives than Sony for a long time.
It's just that no one cares about Nintendo, they can do whatever they want and never get hit with non stop FUD campaigns like PS does.

This sounds a bit like the Xbots not wanting to read the warnings.... PC releases, GP day 1, consolidation will hurt Xbox? "I will care and think about it once it happens". Now they are all crying, asking to buy games.
I'd rather be heard now, than when it's too late.
It's telling that many of the people cheering on Sony's moves and constantly defending them don't even own a PlayStation, like @Systemshock2023 and @ExicideA reflection of Sony. Everyone here wants to see PlayStation succeed except the PC

Then when the current direction proves to be completely misguided, people will claim that they saw it coming just like people act now like they were not the ones praising Phil Spencer all along, saying he was pro-consumer, that Gamepass was profitable, that the Series S was a genius move, etc.
I call it right now, Sony is taking the PlayStation audience for granted and completely losing focus and getting involved in very stupid shit like ports of their single players games to PC without even bothering with proper DRM. They are willingly exposing themselves to huge new risks without having much to gain from it.
Every big company would kill to own PlayStation and be in the same position Sony is right now (Epic, MS, Google, Amazon, etc), but Sony doesn't seem to see the value in that at all.
I hate the gaming media fueled now by PC fanatics
They want Sony to be multi platform
They do not have your best interests at heart but they are more concerned with easy revenue then long term brand health
PC karens have been soooooooo loud this generation.
It’s just the Xbox losers have now migrated over there and are trying to dominate that space now
The annoying part to me is that they hate Sony essentially because they have exclusives, but then for some reason they turn a blind eye to Nintendo. For some reason it's totally fine when they get third party exclusives. But Sony does it, the outrage is crazy.
This is why I can’t stand this PC initiative it’s fuelled by a media campaign to destroy exclusives on PlayStation but for Nintendo and Xbox it’s perfectly acceptable
The showcase can't come soon enough because the news around Sony lately have been pretty rotten.

- Top Gun is owned by Tom Cruise.
- Mission Impossible makes no sense if Tom Cruise retires
-TMNT is a cool IP but nothing that would move anyone
- Transformers is a Hasbro property
- Star Trek is dead
Let's hope Sony understands how important this showcase will be going forward. Last year showcase in May was when everything fell apart for them and sales started slowing too after that disastrous showcase.
There’s nothing to be excited about, literally nothing on the horizon.
And the blame falls on incompetent, out of touch leadership on Sony's end. But I still think that CEO who almost threw PlayStation to the wolves by attempting to make that deal with Microsoft for Azure is behind everything going wrong this generation.
Looking down the road on future releases/later-ports, weather they go to Nintendo Switch 2, Rog Ally 2, or Steam Deck 2, these devices have "portability, plus". Nintendo will have portability, plus their own exclusives, plus more 3P. Steam is portability plus the entire Steam store, Rog/Win-based handhelds is portability plus XB, PC storefronts, emulation, mods and fixes.
Other than making it portable and opening up more of the PS history with a revamped BC push/anime&media topup-sub/digital purchased content library account setup, I'm not sure how Sony are supposed to offer a more attractive product than offering XB/PS/PC games, emu/fan-made games and fixes. The genie is out of the bottle a little now, isn't it?

I do agree that this is all cause of the out of touch leadership. Jim Ryan really dragged Sony down. I assure you if the next CEO is again a western salesman like Eric Empel, then it’s over with PlayStation for sure. Someone like Shuhei Yoshida or Kiichiro Urata is needed to turn around things.
Sony Pictures already has IP which could do that, yet SIE have done nothing with them.
Also, none of these would make for a good JRPG. Well, maybe Transformers, but that's it.
