You think PS is gonna block Steam games when there releasing it on Steam & Nintendo 2 direct competitor who owns platforms & has exclusive permanent exclusive that goes to no other platform. Steam & Nintendo don’t do that multiplat diminishes to its platform. Bet that new Valve hero shooter is exclusive to Steam & that’s a hero shooter live service.
why PlayStation won't fail even without true exclusive games

TLOU part 1 ran like shit on PC. Ratchet and Sackboy had shader compilation issues at launch and i bet there's a few more ports with performance issues at launch.
The steam deck costs as much as a PS5 and is niche as hell. A decent mid range GPU costs as much as an entire console
What's with this place and its what if scenarios?
Steam Deck 3?
How about we just stick to current market realities for once? lol.
What a shame... this brand is really screwed
Seeing this on a direct was actually funny.
If Sony was going to invest in PS it would’ve been before PS5 gen 2019-2020 hell even when MS bought there first publisher Sony should’ve double down on gaming a division that brings nearly 70% of there income & is at threat with other competitors double downing. MS double down, Meta double down, Nintendo double down, Steam double down & with the rumors of Apple buying Disney in the future they’ll gain some of the strongest ip in both media & gaming which they will likely use exclusively to bolster Apple Arcade & its gaming efforts.
It will be felt during the PS6 gen for sure PS5 is safe but they might even see long term & get stuck at 100 million idk if they’ll push 120 million which should be a easy target considering the wave the ride w the end of the PS4 & Xbox being dead & Nintendo switch 1 not being as 1 to 1 & really only PC being the direct competitor. PS5 should easily hit 130+ million & if they where like Nintendo they could even hit 150+ million.
also as a pc gamer y'all are delusional if you think the steam deck will ever act as a replacement for any console or handheld
The Steam Deck is a solid handheld PC gaming device but its relatively niche compared to consoles. You walk into a Walmart you can find a Playstation on the shelf. Not so much a Steam Deck. The casual market is not going to move to PC let alone buy a steam deck

Valves major success the Steamdeck can’t even compete with Sonys biggest failure.
Steamdeck - 3 million sold.
PS Vita - 14 million sold.
Stay in your place.
The OP is correct in saying probably 80% of PlayStation owners buy the console for FIFA, COD and GTA.
Us forum dwellers are insignificant to the console market. We think we are the main guys.
It's always been like this in regards to the masses. Fifa, Madden, GTA, COD and once upon a time, Singstar.
The mass market never cared for Ico. SoTC, The Getaway, GoW etc.
I love my OLED steam deck, but ill be damned if my right hand doesnt go numb after 20 minutes on the thing. SD is a great novelty and convenience, but the ideal place to play it is not.
Buy a steam console but you gotta wait over a year to play GTA 6 unlike a PS5 (hypothetically) speaking if both consoles were to exist at the same time. Where do you think people gonna flock to?
Wanna play the Sony games? Okay let's wait 1 - 2 years.
As if most causals are going to abandon their digital library to move to a new ecosystem just to stick it to PlayStation.
Steam works the way it is currently but as console it's just not gonna take off, not matter how many here wants to convince themselves Valve is the Thanos of gaming.

PS Portal is the most comfortable "handheld" on the market right now. The thing looks silly but cutting a regular Dual Sense in half and slapping it on a tablet was actually a genius move.
they just are just assuming that Sony will lose 80 million customers because sony made a lego game on switch.
It's always been strange to me that someone would buy a console and just play one game endlessly...
Steam deck isnt even a retail release and It's not promoted anywhere besides Steam.
Valve must release a proper console and release It globally. Maybe the first steam console wont kill PlayStation, but they will slowly take away a good chunk of Sonys userbase. Valve can just offer a better deal for consumers.
