It's like clockwork. EVERY TIME there's good PS news OR bad MS news, hit pieces like this emerge.

Best part? It doesn't help. However, we need an industry wide system to regulate misinformation. Outright lies harm consumers and a lot of these "journalists" need to be looked at.

The gaming media is so fucking out of touch with what consumers want

The tweet should be instead "A fanboy VG247 contributor is butthurted because Sony gets many GOTY awards and nominations and their games sell better than ever, while acting as if games like Death Stranding, Dreams, Astrobot or Returnal wouldn't be creative, or as if SIE wouldn't have over a dozen new IPs under development and as if they wouldn't have initiatives to support small indie games like PlayStation Indies or China/India Hero Project"

It's actually very simple. Microsoft cannot produce AAA games: Redfall, Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, Crackdown 3, etc.

Microsoft can make very good AA games: Grounded, Ori 1, Ori 2, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, etc.

But it is the blockbuster AAA games that set PlayStation apart from Xbox, e.g., GOW, GoT, TLOU, HFW, SM2, etc.. The paid shills and media want Sony to stop making as many AAA games and waste their resources on making AA games.

If it happens, PlayStation will lose its competitive advantage against Xbox, and Xbox will have more of a level-playing field to compete.

PlayStation fans need to be aware of their tactics and not pressure Sony into doing something stupid. They did the same thing with "PlayStation needs a Game Pass; Sony needs to launch games on PS+ day one; PS needs to stop making TLOU" etc.

Yeah they been complaining about it for awhile.
Because Playstation does it so well.

But I think PS should also release there smaller A-AA games from in house like they use. Japan Studios, House Marque ( smaller games like Resogun ) and games like Sly Cooper, Loco Roco etc etc

Xbots:

Sony should give up AAA Games
Sony should give up Marvel games like Spider-Man & Wolverine
Sony should give up Las of us
Sony should give up Horizon
Sony should give up God of War
Sony should give up Uncharted
Sony should give up Death Stranding

Exactly. They are so easy to see through.

It's the very same as the PC ports push. They simply want to undermine PlayStation at any cost, even if it means less games and worse games for everyone.

They criticize and review bomb and create endless videos on how PlayStation is somehow doing "everything wrong". They use terms like "walking sim" but then celebrate Alan Wake 2 and Hellblade 2.

They absolutely shat on Death Stranding but then suddenly the game was underrated when it hit PC and they created the biggest deal when Kojima decided to make some mobile game for Xbox...

OP is right that it is scary and what is scarier still to me is that PlayStation fall for some of it... they often listen to the wrong people. Sending free stuff to people like Parris, who has been nothing but an Xbox fanboy... he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

There is no Xbox tax.

All platforms have insane fanatics. Of course they both exist in paid and shill form in media. I feel like it’s inflated scores for undeserving games many times. Okay, big whoop.

Because of this you should be suspect of most launch reviews for huge tentpole “exclusive” releases. A good part is advertising. It’s every form of entertainment.

But you can see Xbox content getting even more softball bs from critics due to gamepass. “Good enough for gamepass” is a free pass that will inflate scores further.

Microsoft didn’t earn shit and their dwindling console marketshare is proof of that.

Theres plenty of AA and indy releases each month on PSN, dont fall for propaganda from Xbox fanboy media. That is the sad part in all of this.
