>>712831268 (OP)
well yeah, they are in different markets. no one in the market for gta, cod, or most of the big game of the year contenders is going to buy a switch. you buy it for the bing bing wahoo and you buy a playstation(or pc if you're smart) for everything else. it's not a competition despite how much fanboys want to pretend it is. sony completely dominated the home console market. it's a dying market but sony pushed out both nintendo and microsoft.

the handheld aspect holds it back and that's why it doesn't get the same games. it's why it's not competition. if you want to argue that handhelds are destroying home consoles right now that's a separate and very valid argument. but pretending it's a home console is not true, nintendo got pushed out from making home consoles after the wii u.

>>712833930
>posts a screenshot of a question
Don't let Olímpio know what's the answer, his life depends on Nintendo's imaginary wins over PS!

>>712831721
I think the argument is this:
1. Businesses have different domains.
2. PlayStation's domain is not the same as the Switch/Wii, etc.
3. PlayStation is performing far greater in it's domain than Nintendo's platform, while Nintendo's platform is performing far greater in it's own domain.

Kind of like how Windows can never really be challenged in the corporate office domain, but it can be challenged in the home and mobile, which are different domains.

I'm not a snoy, but the argument does make sense. Sony really can't compete in the nostalgia, low-power handheld, children's market. While Nintendo can't compete in the hardware/software market. Those who are interested in performance and aren't poor go PC anyways.

They literally do not compete with nintendo ever since dropping vita

Implying otherwise is retarded, every single decision and change they've made were focussed on countering microsoft

>>712834174
They don't but tendies are mentally ill, you know the rest.

>>712835193

nope, doesnt look like it

>>712835609
Sony treats them as competition when they are in direct competition. Asking the ps4 to compete with the switch is like asking HBO to compete for disney adults attention, they aren't even remotely the same audience. Their handhelds were competing for the same children as the DS so they had to be treated as such.

I think its a mistake for Sony to completely abandon children and it will fuck them in the near future, the ps2 and ps1 were still objects of desire for 9 year old kids, nobody under 16 wants a ps5 and once youre over 18 you realise that console gaming is for retards and you should just buy a PC.

>>712836372
>I think its a mistake for Sony to completely abandon children and it will fuck them in the near future

Not even that, just entertainment for everyone. They could bring back Ape Escape, they could create a new Toro & Kuro game and release it internationally, they could revive Fat Princess, they could revive Sackboy, hell if you want to increase the age, they even have several FPS series they completely abandoned like Killzone, Resistance or SOCOM, and they could do all of this with AA budgets, but they have dug themselves so deep into the high-end graphics scheme that the only things they have left are either movie games, from which God of War of all games suffered, or live service MTX-heavy games that die in a matter of months, like Foamstars.

Even saying that Sony wasn't competing with Nintendo is a blatant lie when the PS Portal is an obvious Switch knock off that even fails at that and instead is compared with the Wii U, while Foamstars was designed as a response to Splatoon, but they managed it in the worst way possible. I actually feel bad for Gurihiru because their designs were overall pretty cool.

This isn't news. Nintendo has been marching to the beat of their own drum since the Wii to the point where they really aren't competition to MS and Sony. It's pretty much always somebody owns an MS or Sony system AND a Nintendo system. Aside from hardcore tendies who were never going to buy another system in their lives, there really isn't anyone who makes the choice of getting Nintendo OR something else, it's always Nintendo AND something else.

To be honest, if SIE where to just ask Aniplex to make games based on Aniplex IPs and actually give Aniplex some creative control they'd probably be able to reclaim some of the Jap market. Especially since Aniplex is supposedly going to go hard on Madoka content after the movie comes out this year and I don't think Type-Moon or Aniplex would be opposed to a AAA Fate game made by BluePoint or something, so long as Nasu writes the story.

Well they can't just find new sales data for the PS2 again and no amount of COVID cope will change the fact that the Switch 2 sold a lot better on launch than anything else, so all they have left is pretend that it's not competition

outstanding job, anon

How Sony can save themselves:
>Put every first party title on their emulation services for PS1-2-P
>Hire RPCS3 developers to collaborate with their own emulation devs to make a PS3 emulator for this service
>Utilize smaller talent or dictate studios to focus on smaller scale projects using legacy IPs- do not put restrictions on them short of approval from original staff still at Sony (i.e., Naughty Dog develops a new Resistance game, gets approved by Insomniac leads)
>Heavier push into PC, announce your emulation services on PC as available on Steam with complete service integration including netplay support where possible
>Hire independent developers to make new IPs for you or work on legacy IPs
And most importantly of all
>During this heavy rebrand effort, have one State of Play every month from July to May, each one having various nostalgia stingers to reel people in (i.e., in July they have Resistance 4, in August they announce PS3-on-PS5, in September they etc etc etc)
>End this year of big events with a MAJOR PlayStation Showcase in June
>Announce the PS6 alongside new IPs they've been saving all year, and the big announcement is a complete retooling of PlayStation All Stars
>it is now a pure platform fighter with a roster encompassing PlayStation's entire history
>If you have already played a game in the roster, you automatically unlock them without doing any Arcade Mode, with bonus costumes and minions for further trophy completion
>It will be available on PS6 as a free title celebrating the history of PlayStation and the fact that the PS6 will be the place where all of PS' history and future is available

But instead of any of this, they'll announce four more live service flops and we'll get dripfed the fifth port of Jak 2.

>>712839441
>and fought tooth and nail to make people buy 2 copies of games
Their first parties always came with a digital code for the Vita version. PS All Stars and Sly 4 in particular came with Vita codes for me.
Most of the Vita-PS3 titles were released on Vita way later, very few released on both at the same time.
Vita also wasn't good enough to be a portable PS4.

Honestly, you basically have a branch in the same company that makes and owns some of THE most profitable anime IP's in Japan and owns not only the studio by the rights to, except for the main story, one of the most profitable gacha games in history and yet you never have the idea to make a game out of any of them??? I mean think about it, the PS6 handheld is going to be a thing, Sony owns a lot of the rights to Bocchi the Rock, one of the most popular IP's in Japan and SMEJ essentially owns some of the most popular Japanese artists, not only for anime openings but in general in Japan. Sony managed to get BTR fans to re-buy a Sony XPeria solely because it had BTR branding and a BTR OS, you can't tell me that a BTR rhythm game on the handheld wouldn't move some units in the Japanese market, especially since at that point S2 would have already released and S3 would have already been announced. This would be an overall net benefit to Sony since it promotes their IP, promotes their own artists and promotes the BTR idol group they formed with the VA's recently. Just have the VA's slap in a couple extra exclusive songs in the game and make it decent, instant cash grab.

He's right, in the west they're different audiences.

>PlayStation's domain is not the same as the Switch/Wii, etc.
The problem is that you can't really separate gaming out like that. Whether they like it or not they're competing in the same space since the majority of third party titles are on both systems and given the choice people pick the switch over the PS5 unless of course they can't get it on switch.
>PlayStation is performing far greater in it's domain
Well of course they're the only ones in their domain. That's the point of that viewpoint, it's basically the same as that nonsense "high end" gaming market they made up for the Actiblizz trial because if they don't then Nintendo completely dominates in every regard selling far more units of software while also being of considerably higher quality and having a higher output.

>>712839927
That's all you can say! That's all you can say!

>>712839783
during the ps3 and even early ps4 gen, sony was working with companies like bandai namco for big ips like idolm@ster and sword art online. they were using their animation studios to make anime to advertise the games that were playstation exclusives and they did the same thing with atlus and persona. sony was at their best when they were actually make full use of their separate parts to work together instead of whatever the fuck they're doing now.

i swear sony saw the money fgo was making and assumed they could just make mobile games forever for infinite fgo levels of profit and then it backfired horrendously on them. there was a world where instead of dropping the vita, sony would release new fate games on it instead during the height of fgo and potentially become the most popular handheld in japan.

Aniplex and SIE might have unironically had a falling out when Jim Ryan took power, that's around the same time they stopped actually working together as much as they did before, and after he left they started to work together again as seen with the announcement of the Ghosts of Tsushima anime that Aniplex are making for SIE. Wouldn't even blame them if that's the case. Hopefully they start working a lot more closely in the future, since Aniplex is going to start pushing more Madoka content after the movie releases the PS6 and handheld might potentially be able to ride that wave seeing as Madoka fans have been starved of content for the past couple of years now.

I really don't agree. Porsche and Toyota don't really compete, yet they are both car manufacturers. They both run on the same roads and transport people around.

People buying a PS5 are buying it for reasons that are different from those buying a Switch.

> Well of course they're the only ones in their domain.
They're not though, they're competing w/MSFT. And it hasn't always been just Xbox, since Sony used to compete w/Nintendo right up until the Wii back in 2006, when Nintendo was pushed out of the primary gaming market.

> Nintendo completely dominates in every regard selling far more units of software
okay, I now realize I'm talking to a teenager. I don't care to defend the PlayStation brand, but I wouldn't use the word "dominate" to describe Nintendo's position outside of Japanland. Nintendo's performance is as volatile as the weather, while the PlayStation platform (unfortunately) has been highly stable for 30 years. This is because they are the leader in the primary gaming market, a market Nintendo left years ago.

Anon, that's because you can separate vehicles given they're made for different purposes. A van, car, jeep, sports car whatever, they're made for different things.
A video game is made for entertainment and no matter how many cutscenes you put into a game an action adventure game like Horizon Zero Dawn is still going to be an action adventure game competing in the same space as Zelda and Elden Ring.
>People buying a PS5 are buying it for reasons that are different from those buying a Switch.
Technically yes, after all, the software isn't selling so it's mostly just brand loyalty selling it.

Anon, they've been selling more software worldwide, this isn't something you can argue not to mention the switch outsold the PS5 in most regions until very recently due to the sunsetting of the switch and that was completely obliterated by Switch 2.

>jesus christ anon
Are you trying to say that Sony's games have been good when they're not only shorter than most games made 20 years ago but have less mechanical depth?
I'm willing to bet you saw that statement as praise for Nintendo rather than a slight against Sony right? We could be talking about just about anyone else and there would still be a considerable quality gap between them and Sony with Sony being below. I mean, I don't particularly like say Monster Hunter Wilds but as a game it's longer and more complex than anything Sony has ever shat out despite being the worst MH game to date.

It's so hilariously out of touch since they're not even making games targeting adults. They're specifically targeting kids since they're the only ones with the free time to sit and bear their condescending and overly intrusive storytelling for such a small amount of gameplay.

No, it's portable but not a handheld system. It's very much a home console and treated as such with companies just making the same games for it as they would any other home console.
The gameboy, DS, 3ds and so on had their own style of games and when games were "ported" to it they required whole new versions. Technology has reached the point where handhelds and games designed for them aren't necessary.

helps that those games come first on the console and are ported later

Sounds inefficient; you could buy the controller and then get the PC version. The PS5 is redundant when it has no exclusives of weight... or good amount

>>712853938
i already said that a nintendo flop hits nintendo harder than a playstation flop because sony can subsidize its entertainment franchises with other franchises money

>>712854208
i could say the same about the switch games since you can emulate them on a PC

it's just a lazy approach at videogames

This makes sense to me. Like who ONLY has a Switch and no other gaming machine or PC? A Nintendo machine is typically something someone gets as a secondary machine to play Nintendo exclusives while they play other games on their PS5 or Xbox or PC.

>>712854343
>i could say the same about the switch games since you can emulate them on a PC
Emulation =/= official releases. So no, you couldn't say that.

>>712853161
The reason Nintendo took so long to release the Switch 2 was cost-cutting.
Not sarcastic here: they genuinely wanted to keep the system cheap for kids.
If they cared about power or an early launch, they’d have paid hundreds of millions to jump the TSMC fab queue. But instead, they waited until they could squeeze a deal out of Samsung — a company with a streak of failures in contract manufacturing.
With the original Switch, they capitalized on Nvidia’s Shield flop. Now with Switch 2, it’s Samsung’s falling out with U.S. chip clients.
Nintendo thrives off other companies’ misfortunes.

>>712831552
ROFL MOVIE GAMES

The competitor to sony is largely fortnite and gacha because when people play eternal games they aren't available to buy and play single player games that sony outputs.

Congrats, you're now looking at Nintendo systems in the same way everyone saw Sony consoles. It's the whore system to the primary where you buy all of the multiplats.

>>712854450
Anon, you haven't explained your stance here.

Cope mindset; the main system is the one driving with its games, multiplat machines the secondary one.

>while they play other games on their PS5 or Xbox or PC.
This here is the key thing. If you want to play every game on the market, you need to go Nintendo plus any other platform. In other words, Switch 2 is the only one mandatory gaming machine. It may seem secondary because it doesn't have full multiplat support, but it's growing fast. Look at Wii U's nonexistent support, then Switch 1's middling support, then Switch 2's "oh fuck get as much shit on it at launch as possible" support.

Sony have their head in the clouds, assuming that everyone who buys a Switch 2 is eventually gonna drop it in favor of Playstation, but each year there's less and less reasons for Nintendo-only fags to "graduate". They still have games like GTA6 to rely on, but even that won't last forever.

>>712846813
c'mon now, apple has good products
they're just overpriced

>>712854773
Well I mean it doesn't really matter which is primary or secondary. The point is I doubt anyone only has a Switch and nothing else. If someone has a Switch they more than likely have a PS5 or Xbox or PC as well unless they are a super normie who only play animal crossing and mario kart but even those people are likely to have a ps5 to play fifa or call of duty.

>>712853889
The irony here in my opinion is how reliant Sony is on titles like Fortnite and the fact Nintendo always made titles that appealed to everyone, not just kids. There's people in their 50s still playing 3D Mario/3D Zelda.

>>712849612
Huge cope, it's a console. The fact Sony fanboys still tries to pull this shit is hilarious.

>>712845416
>ps4 dominates
In the beginning. Sales completely stalled later when Switch came out. The entire reason why Sony has been increasing prices so much is to milk the consumers they got left.

>>712855895
TSMC is fucking full of electronic brands wanting their shit which made them jack up the price big time. Samsung has alot more fabrications for nintendo to use to minimize conflicts and maximize hardware production as well as being cheaper. Do you want to pay PS5 pro prices for a switch 2?

>>712855703
Really? Most games are multiplats these days. Sony and Microsoft barely even put out any exclusives anymore. I can't even remember the last PS5 exclusive game. I think it was Spider-Man 2 but that was like 2 or 3 years ago I think.

>The point is I doubt anyone only has a Switch and nothing else.
For gaming they do. I, personally have a shitty smartphone and several consoles but the main ones always boils down to Nintendo or the one that has the exclusives like PS1 and PS2. This is the case for most; their mobile platform they play on, it's not their main one despite having more time spent on; their commitment might not be there (this is why phones never took off as gaming platforms beside gacha).


also, you're counting PC as game system instead the appliance it is.

>>712856317
I cared about multiplats when they were still good. I remember when Mass Effect came out and it felt like everyone played them, oven dragon quest. Now they come out and the only people playing them are youtubers making "haha look how pathetic this game is xD"

>>712856286
To be fair, Samsung’s falling out with major Western companies like Apple is largely due to their notoriously low production yields — so bad that some have seriously considered shifting production to India.
Given Nintendo’s emphasis on quality, it’ll be interesting to see how they plan to address this issue.
Honestly, I’m looking forward to hearing their side of the story a few years down the line.

Speaks volume of why their brands are weaker, seeing less selling units and need to move on to different markets to get their profits. As if being enough reason to not buying one was big and bad enough.

>>712850585
the fact the switch masquerades as a home console and is able to dock with "current" gen ports doesnt mean its not a handheld.

you could dock the gameboy and gba games with addons, you could dock the PSP, its no different.

the fact is they make dedicated hardware that is portable, sony or xbox does not do this. The only closest competitor is the PC market which began repackaging laptops into gaming tablets now that integrated graphics are usable.

>>712855896
Most games have been cross gen ps4/ps5 games and they will work fine on Switch 2 but big current gen only games coming out in 2026 onwards probably wont get switch 2 versions or if they do i expect them to be pretty jank.

>>712856589
>I cared about multiplats when they were still good. I remember when Mass Effect came out and it felt like everyone played them
Anon, I'm afraid to inform you that multiplat stopped being good in the generation when you though they were good. The last time of good multiplats was early-mid gen 6.

I wasn't trying to make a big deal about it or anything. You can call the PS5/Xbox/PC the secondary one if you want. The point was just that if someone has a Nintendo machine they probably have another gaming machine as well.

>>712856840
>the fact is they make dedicated hardware that is portable, sony or xbox does not do this
The xbox 360 board can be turned into portable; it's not about making it "dedicated".

>>712856589
Its funny because Mass Effect 1 was xbox 360 exclusive lol

Remember that PlayStation are the only ones to raise the price of their console (multiple times in fact) after it's release

>>712857063
I think Xbox did it recently as well but nobody cares about xbox this gen so nobody really noticed.

>>712854394
why would I get anything else when I have Switch? Docked Switch 1 is just as powerful as a ps4, and Docked Switch 2 is just as powerful as ps5. Actually faster with some games.

So yeah, no thanks. All I need is a Switch. It's pure snoy, microbaby, and steam cuck COPE in this post.
>ohh, uhhh... I have ps5 already, but.. It couldn't satiate my needs so I also got a switch 2.

Face it, loser, the switch is the only console you need. If they made it into a phone as well, it would be the only device you need. Full stop.

>>712857276
They raised everything. And even have another GP increase in the works, imagine there's people using GP lmao

>>712857432
>why would I get anything else when I have Switch?
This but for me; it's Switch 2.

>>712857432
I don't think you need to have this hostile attitude desu. If you only want to get Nintendo machines that's perfectly fine.

Sony has been selling consoles at a profit since the PS5 launched retardbro, they had announced this back in 2021 and virtually everyone on the board knows this, aside from tendies that is

No, they always sell at loss. PS5 stopped being sold at loss midway through.

>>712858305
They used to always sell at a loss, they don't anymore. This has been known from since forever ago.
https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/4/22609150/sony-playstation-5-ps5-loss-profit

>>712858305
its still at a loss, the price hikes are the concord tax

>>712857006
it is, thats what makes it a console, specialized hardware....

>>712857778
idk what you are talking about, i dont own any consoles

>>712858297
I dunno. I have every current gen machine and a PC. I dont really use much of them though as I hardly ever play games in general.

>>712858305
>PS5 stopped being sold at loss midway through.
NTA but 2021 isn't midway through, that was about 8 months after it launched

>>712831268 (OP)
Ah yes, the ostrich strategy of simply pretending it’s not there

>>712858459
>Article states "not being sold at loss anymore"
They were clearly selling it at loss.

>>712858509
>thats what makes it a console, specialized hardware
Then explain the Xbox 360's board being made portable by ytubers of all things.

>>712836372
>I think its a mistake for Sony to completely abandon children and it will fuck them in the near future
Is this not the case for Nintendo as well? I don't see kids playing Switch on social media. It's all millennials. Actual kids are mostly playing fornite/minecraft/etc. The teenagers I know either play freemium slop or gamepass. My niece loves pokemon dolls and has every eevee variant, but got bored instantly with the game when I bought her the Eevee version.

>>712858836
thats just a mod, you can mod anything you can get your hands on from phones to laptops to consoles to software.

explains why they're just letting steam and nintendo gobble up their market share, as long as theyre beating microsoft their metrics are met :^)

>>712843652
THIS is why I want them to fail. All jeetified corpos have to go.

>>712858916
Sony lost by thinking they were "mature" so forgot about younger audiences, even if Nintendo doesn't do this they still have the edge of being part of the pop culture of the medium; so they always may have the young audience hook to them + the diversity of their IPs in their trunk which has quite the range. Sony outright neglected it just like they did with Ape Escape

>but got bored instantly with the game when I bought her the Eevee version
Maybe because it was shit.

>>712858991
>thats just a mod
That's not a mod. There's no invasive change to the board; it's effectively the 360 board as portable.

such a bad time to be a kid ngl

I wanna address the fucking "different markets" cope for a sec

Just last gen, if you wanted to play, say, Tokyo Gargleblaster 1, PS4 was the only way to go, maybe a western Xbox port if you were lucky

The Wii U was dead, the wii couldn't run anything demanding and the 3ds was a fucking toy performance wise

Whether that sold 10 million or merely 300k, 90% of that was literal free money for Sony, in addition to the ududal DLC or MTX or whatever

Now?
Tokyo Gargleblaster 2: Switch edition, may look uglier but sinec it caters to a different demo than Sony's cinematic sad dad output, it means the Switch 1 gets to keep a piece of that very same pie, which was previously entirely for PS

Next year? Tokyo Gargleblaster 3: dick punch edition doesn't look as ugly as 2, releases day and date on a console with a better form factor and to an audience that already had it on switch 1 and is ready to support their fave franchise on switch 2, and then, sony's pie gets inevitably even smaller until it becomes a "maybe if you're lucky" port

Worst thing you can do is let the opponent have the full lane, or market in this case, every shot you don't take is a missed one and Sony ahsn't hit a target in years by now

>>712858916
Reninder that most social media is carered to your algo, but i can assure you, there's fucktons of kids playing nintendo stuff, either by themselves, or because their parents got them the machine

>>712859326
unless that guy sells it and provides a platform with specific revisions on the new hardware i dont see this as a competitor to the normal xbox

>>712859949
There no new hardware; it's literally opening a 360 and taking away it's board making it fit with a portable device's margins. The controller requires heavy modding, the board just cornercutting like disposing the disc reader and such. Same thing can be done with GC... for the ones that didn't think 3DS was portable GC somehow.

>>712859949
>There no new hardware
i know thats why its modding

>>712860520
There's no change of parts or components iirc; it's not modding. It's the very same home system's board fit into portable size disproving anon´s claim of being dedicated the key of the matter.

>>712831268 (OP)

>>712844029
He does this every single day.

>>712860918
>no change in components

id how you can make an xbox portable without changing how its built, strap a monitor to the back of the console? still needs to be plugged in to work tho so hardly usable

>>712861592
Yt has videos where it's the size of those shitty new "handheld" PCs like the Xbox thing they announced this week.

>>712836948
this reminds me of Sega making games for mature audiences.
Sony feels they might going SEGA in a few failed console gens

>>712857969
the slow shift in narrative as the years go by is amazing

>>712861753

>>712831552
>>712832210
yeah this is a joke but it's also true. besides games there are bunch of other shit fighting for our time and attention, youtube, netflix and other streaming services, spotify, facebook, twitter, reddit, tiktok, twitch, influencers, journos, news sites, even this shithole. geoff recently said something about 1600 new games released on Steam every year, there's also goypass undervaluing your full priced games and nintendo raping your ass on home turf. it's not easy to be a triple A snoy game in 2025 trying to expand market share when everyone's attention is elsewhere and most ppl are fatigued with uninspired western slop. profit margins are lower than ever and slipups like concord hurt a lot. cod still makes billions but black ops 6 cost between $600m and $1bln to make. gta 6 estimated cost is higher than $2bln and it's impossible to say if it will surpass gta 5 in sales.

>>712831268 (OP)
Sony doesn't feel Nintendo is competition because Nintendo is in the business of making games. Sony doesn't have games.

Sony doesn't view Nintendo as competition because Nintendo makes baby games for babies. It'd be like viewing Fisher Price as serious competition. It's just silly.

>>712865038
>It's OK when Sony does it

>>712865038
>Fisher Price

>>712865038
What's your guys' obsession with Fisher Price? Why that brand specifically? Why are they brought up so often on /v/?

>"but outside Japan PlayStation people clearly see Xbox as a primary competition.”
what? How? Xbox has been near nonexistent this gen while switch has been a runaway success.

>>712865785
Literally the only reason I got an Xbox is because it was the cheapest and most easily accessible alternative to a PC for games during covid and I basically haven't touched it since I got my PC, unlike my switch and soon to be switch 2

*cough*

>>712835236
>Sony really can't compete in the nostalgia, low-power handheld, children's market. While Nintendo can't compete in the hardware/software market
What a worthless fucking cope answer.
What nostalgia was ARMS using to sell 3mil copies?
Ring Fit Adventure is at like 15mil. Splatoon did 5mil on the WiiU.
Astral Chain crossed 1mil as a fully new IP in like 2-3 months.
Never mind that BotW is very different than prior Zeldas.
Nintendo has ROUTINELY sold more software than sony has even has their consoles struggle, especially first party software.
Stupid faggot belly end twat.

>>712866448
Where can I access this survey? I'd like to say to Sony to make some fucking games and exclusives myself

>>712866835
These niggas spout retarded talking points because they truly believe what Sony's saying, not necessarily out of fnaboyism, but Snoy's shitty propaganda is what they seriously believe to be true

Half the people here in /v/ have a critical lack of self awareness, that goes double for graphic fags, snoys and "mature" gamers
