Yeah honestly most people are not gonna build a PC or put up with the configuring/modding/troubleshooting that comes with the territory. Plus its more covenient to have a console for living room/regular tv use.
There'll always be a need and appeal for a console of some sort regardless of what happens.

People are trying too hard to paint a narrative. It’s honestly tiresome.

Sony was suppose to adopt the gamepass strategy because the industry was going that way too. Something they have already been doing with PS now and PS plus for over 10 years before the media started to over exaggerate MS amazing new creation.

We see now how that turned out.

The only change that happened is that model failing and Sony being correct staying on course of what they’ve been doing.

Now the new narrative is the industry is dying and everybody has to adapt. No it isn’t, and the only company adapting right now is MS by going 3rd party.

As soon as MS started going back on all their wonderful plans and consoles sales continued to drop rapidly, that’s when everybody started to make it an industry thing and drag Sony into a MS only problem. Matt from NPD is one such individual.

You people couldn’t be more obvious.

Trust me, bro is the source. Factually incorrect as none of the data suggests that.
Yeah it sounds kinda absurd, maybe I'm wrong but I was under the impression that PC was a secondary consideration and that Sony's main concern in the gaming world is supporting Playstation. To say that they're putting the majority of their resources into another platform just seems extremely unlikely bs. If he comes back with a link where Sony claims that or something fine but otherwise:

Unfortunately he is right and so far Sony is following him into that shit hole.

He said this gen will be mostly cross gen for a while and Sony never disappointed him.
He said gamepass, Sony gave him PS+.
He said PC and Sony handed to Steam the best PC library of AAA games in all of PCMR history.

And don't forget that before all of that, there was paid online gaming.

Fail Spencer will introduce the next shit and Sony will spread its smell for him.

The fact is that Spencer always lies when he claims good, but he is right when he promises shit.

5 years ago you couldn't convince anyone on the internet that PlayStation would release their exclusives on PC.

A lot can happen in 5 years.

Im not doubting greedy businessmen. Im just saying they and Nintendo dont need it

If PlayStation putting 60% of their resources day and date on PC with their tentpole single player games coming to PC soon after launch isn't "crumbling" then I don't know what to tell you.

The market is radically changing and some of y'all want to keep your head in the sand.
Why are ya’ll fanboys coping by saying “tImEs aRe cHaNgiNg”. This was never Xbox’s plan. Their plan was to buy major publishers and consolidate around GP. Phil’s goal was to have over 100M subs. When the Activision buyout concluded and GP’s subs stalled. They made the decision to pivot. Now Satya and the higher ups are calling the shots. Remember this was Phil’s quote during the Activision trial. https://images.app.goo.gl/cXoeh6qv5DyMK9jH7

So what are the other 3 games if its a wave of 4 each time? Im going with Forza 5, Flight Sim, and Avowed. The reason its delayed is to do day and date ps5 imo.

Because they are. The only constant in nature is change itself.

You can't witness what has transpired over the last 5 to 10 years in the industry and not see this unless your head is in the sand.

Nintendo doesn't need to do it right now.

But as their costs continue to climb, they'll feel the same pressure that XBox and PlayStation felt.

the only thing that has changed is Xbox not selling enough hardware to sustain the budgets of the games in development post acquisition. It's honestly not hard to understand this, Sony sells 3 consoles for every 1 Microsoft sells, making their market position more flexible.

When Sony's hardware numbers decrease YoY for SEVERAL years like Xbox, I'd be hearing your point. You can't just take Xbox's problem and apply them to Sony and Nintendo like that. All of those companies are structured very differently and have unique positions in the market.

Stop. Just stop. We're moving away from plastic boxes.

Business doesn't work this way.

PlayStation used to compete with hardware manufactureres like Nintenod and XBox. Now they're competition with game makers like Roblox, MoJang, Epic Games, EA etc...

Absolutely crazy...

He has a job to do here. There is no amount of data or logic that will make him say anything other than SonyToo. You’re wasting your time. Your argument is based on reality which aome people are allergic to.

100 percent facts. The industry has grown so big that it has been sliced up into segments where each companies has established their own lane and taken different paths.
