The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.
- Thread starter Neversummer
- Start date
There's nothing to be sad about. Japan has been dead for consoles since PS2. Why is this a surprise to anyone? Sony will max out at around 10m PS5 consoles sold in Japan and move on with PS6 and their Portable which will do far better than PS3/PS4/PS5 combined because Japan is all about mobile/handhelds. Outside of two thirds of the PS3 generation, Sony has always done great and will continue to do great.
So thoughts on the ridiculous Untill Dawn remake? Downgraded artistic intent, poor performance etc.
But there is more, Silent Hill Remake, cracker of a game. But performance is lacking. Why? No longer focusing on optimising for console, squeezing everything out of it? It’s just another PC SKU where we don’t get 50 sliders to adjust to get it working smooth. It is backed by Sony - why isn’t there more polish?
2 back to back release without care factor.

Yes, Sony at the moment shouldn't worry much, but as China is growing with its semiconductor and the US forcing Sony to cut high end chips and sensors from reaching China that forced China to make their own. I expect Sony to go bankrupt by 2040-2045 when the Chinese start making much better imaging sensors at a much cheaper price. Not sure if they're using Sony's LiDars on their new self-driving EV's.
Unfair blockage, sanctions, and tariffs can't really control the whole world, especially developed countries that need the best tech at the lowest price.

The Last Guardian, Days Gone and Driveclub launched unoptimized with performance issues.
Those games were made by Sony first party studios and years before the PC push.
Shit happens.

Good point, sadly each one of those studios is dead or had the IP canned. You'd expect lessons learnt.
ON the flipside tho, each of those were super ambitious, new IP pushing boundaries. Something lacking with the new lot.
This is a clear human rights violation!Just buy a ps5 pro and stop fucking complaining ffs.
Just saying it's nothing new.
And i wouldn't call any of those ambitious or boundary pushing.
Driveclub was just an arcade racer with great rain effects (which weren't even in the game at launch)
Days Gone was an open world zombie game with a bike
TLG was interesting but it wasn't pushing anything, besides tanking the fps on the base PS4.
LMAO no one in Japan will give a fuck about Sony's handheld.
The PlayStation Portal is making waves across the world, from selling out in Japan to even outselling the Xbox in some regions. Now, it appears “demand has exceeded supply.”

That's with a goofy portable device, not even a standalone portable gaming device.
Oh wow an accessory sold out in Japan, PlayStation is saved! No it's not, it's dead and buried. Have you ever looked at the games sales charts? It's a disaster, completely dominated by Nintendo. By the time Sony will be ready to release a handheld they will be irrelevant already in Japan.

Xbox sells hundreds and "selling out" means diddly squat when the inventory could be hundreds. Both metrics hit and both pathetic.
Memba when people on this forum said PS5 sales were poor and we were hit with "muh launch aligned pee ess four!!!"
Well, pepperidge farm remembers.
Remember this, PS5PRO will flop. GTA6 will be a disaster and not be able to sell PRO consoles like many believe.
Sony is the new Microsoft. It's Joever.
plan is to support and make Mac and iPhones more competitive in the gaming space, Apple is in talks for partnership
- parnership includes FUNDING and MARKETING coming from Apple
- the same chip used on PlayStation's next handheld might be used for PSVR3, gonna be its own standalone device
- several Xbox games already have builds for PlayStation
- Sony doesn't want to bolster Xbox's business since next Xbox might use Windows as a base
- talks is to drop support for tentpole games and only port/develop Live Service titles like Helldivers 2 for Windows PC

They should done this before ever going PC. Apple is less competition then Steam/PC
the PC strategy was rushed, they were promoting Only On PlayStation with Ghost Of Tsushima and TLOU2 in 2020 while porting games like Horizon Zero Dawn, it was made without much thinking
RedGamingTech, has some insights on hardware for both PC and Consoles, just like Moore's Law Is Dead (leaked PS5 Pro specs), RedGamingTech also had the specs for PS5 Pro prior to release
