Why does this thing have no exclusives?

>>714959885 (OP)
Death Stranding 2 just came out

>>714959885 (OP)
Fornite PS5 is the exclusive.

>>714959927
And in a year or two, it will come out for other platforms. Real gamers will wait.
Where are the TRUE exclusives?
You guys got what, Astrobot?

>>714959885 (OP)
>>714960000
This, where the fuck are the system sellers? Explain why I should buy one.

>>714959885 (OP)
Because the industry can't afford to have true exclusives anymore. Production has become so expensive that restricting your potential customerbase to a single platform is financially unsound.
unless you're Nintendo have legions of manchildren who will buy your slop no questions asked

>>714960129
Whatever happened to all your in house game dev studios Sony?

it's over...

Retards went all in on live service only to backfire on them. Reminder that they had originally 14 live service games in production only to cut them by more than half because they were all shit. And the one's that came out bombed. Marathon already flopped before even being released.

>>714959927
*also on PC.

>>714960373
>originally 14 live service games in production
too lazy to google them but is the number accurate?
I recall Concord being one of them and rumours about a God of War live service game in Egypt and Assassins Creed: China but there are more?

>>714959885 (OP)
AAA investors shun the risk, was discussed here yesterday. Checks out with the info that Snoy will skip exclusives, too.

>>714959885 (OP)
enjoy waiting 2 years, possibly even more, to play gta6

bro your bluray collection?

>>714960770
I've heard 12, but yeah, Sony had a lot of GaaS in development at the same time. One of them was a Spider-man game. Another is Fairgames.

>>714961210
>Spider-man game
oh god I forgot that one even though I recently saw a thread about it on this board
>Fairgames
i didn't know it was Sony's. makes sense
thanks

>>714960129
But if snoy had games and fans that actually bought games you’d say it’s based and post goldface vore all day, just admit it you’re a tranny snoy fanboy

>People want to play video games not interactive movies
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>714960231
They're all based in California, the woke central of the world

>>714961475
B-but (You) play an important role in the videogames (You) call interactive movies. (You) play the role of the paypig

>>714959885 (OP)
it doesnt matter when millions buy it as a fifa/cod/gta machine

>>714959885 (OP)
The only people who cry about exclusives are on /v/. The rest of the world just buys a console because it's easier.

Sony missed their shot at establishing forever games like Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox. They kept investing in expensive AAA experiences like it was still the PS4 days. The games are turning into games platforms themselves.

probably because of how high graphical fidelity has gotten it takes way too fucking long to make a game. it took 6 years to make the last of us part 2. That's almost an entire console generation

>>714960770
yes it's accurate

>>714959885 (OP)
Sony accidentally all their good devs so now they sell their kusoge on PC to make up for it

ps5 have everygame that matters on pc, the pc "exclusives" are 90% garbage shovelware or games that can run in any toaster. I stand by my point ps5 + mid/low end pc is the ideal setup if you're not brown

>>714961076
You know GTAO is pretty big and Rockstar bought FiveM few years ago. It certainly is not just about the single player. They want to encourage and monetize custom content like Roblox.

>>714962029
if they do then I bet they'll make a success as long as the game is playable and not a steaming pile of buggy/glitchy mess.
I never played Roblox but the idea does sounds good enough to lure gorilion players

>>714959885 (OP)
no need

>>714962186
gta was always good optimized and mostly bug free, the only people who complained about loading times of GTAO were brown subhumans also know as latinx who have yet to discover what an ssd is

>>714960129
Do you ever think through your posts? Nintendo games are sustainable because they're cheap. Barely anyone was buying their crap before the switch.

>>714960373
Really makes no sense they axed them. Even if fhey didn't make a profit they could have served as exclusives.

>>714961818
Can't they just have seperate teams for the game itself and the art assets?

>>714959885 (OP)
Because not even the Sony's propagandists can justify limiting your studio's potential income to the 1/5th.

>>714962390
Bro what? GTAO the game that had massive loading times no matter the hardware until some random dude fixed it? The game that was absolutely rampant with hackers, even on console, for years? To this very day GTAO has desync issues. Did you actually play the online mode? I am confused as to how you had a bug free experience here buddy.

>>714963124
There's 80 million PS5 users, it's not limiting at all
And we know steam users don't buy games at full price, it's always until it's 5 bucks so there's no profits to be had with them

>>714959885 (OP)
Sony's profit margin is actually quite low because they don't get 100% being a third party machine and PC is taking over that role and Nintendo is now market leader on the console market. Sony's bet on few but big games gamble didn't pay off. Sony was forced to port their games to PC because they needed the money
>Nintendo typically maintains higher profit margins than PlayStation. Nintendo's operating margins often exceed 30%, sometimes reaching 40% during the Switch's lifecycle, while PlayStation's margins have generally remained below 20%. For example, in the last fiscal year, Nintendo's operating margin was 40.71%. Sony's (which includes PlayStation) net profit margin as of March 31, 2025, was 8.83%
The reason why this happens is because generally Nintendo owns their franchises 100% so they make 100% of the money, there's some exceptions to this like Pokemon

>>714963596
>There's 80 million PS5 users,
And there's 5 billion PC users.

>>714963596
There's literally billions of PC users. Most of Europe for example is heavily PC-only, and Asia has been mobile + PC for decades now.

Also, like the articles posted above show, PC generates so much cash, even with the insane sales the devs instantly multiply their console-only income within the first few months. Or faster.
People really seem to think that releasing a digital copy of a game would cost something in 2025...

>>714963747
>those numbers
T-then how did Assassins Creed: BLM reached 6 gorilion players in 3 days? Numbers don't add up...

>>714963124
Honestly now when they've ported Helldivers 2 to Xbox I don't think anything is off the table. We're gonna see more ports to other platforms

>>714963596
PS5 users ONLY play GTA, EA FC, and Call of Duty.

>>714960082
>Explain why I should buy one
Why? I don't work for Sony you fucking ape. Either you want to buy it or you don't, fucking subhuman retard.

>>714963870
>5 billion pc users
>only sells 700k
just proves pc users are poor fucks who only waits for games to be 1 dollar to "buy" them

>>714965024
Then why did those 80 million Piss5 owners NOT buy it at all? Why is even FF7 demake flopping?

>>714965509
it's just different ok

>>714965024
>Capcom has revealed that revenue generated through Steam grew by 61.1% in the past fiscal year (April 2024 to March 2025), reaching roughly $366 million USD. This accounts for 31.1% of Capcom's total revenue. Moreover, these figures are based on Capcom's companywide revenue (meaning revenue from other businesses like amusement facilities is included), but when looking at Capcom's digital entertainment business separately, Steam accounted for 42.1% of revenue.
>On the other hand, it seems that sales generated through PlayStation have decreased. In the previous fiscal year, PlayStation accounted for 10.5% of total (companywide) revenue, while this year, the figure has been omitted from Capcom's reports due to it slipping below 10%.

>>714965509
3 million sold at full price on the PS5 is better than 10 million sold at 5 dollar on steam

>>714965813
Exp33 is 45 euros, and sold 3.3 million copies on Steam within its first 12 days.

>>714966013
those 3.3 million sold is on all systems, PS5 included

>>714966013
that's because steamies hoard games and they not playing them. Basically they are good goycattle

>>714959885 (OP)

Those are basically no longer a thing since the era of the PS4. Which are great news for PC gamers that can keep their libraries forever rather than keep wasting money on remasters every time a new console comes around because they won´t even give retro compatibility. You can literally play more playstation games through emulation on a PC than you can on an actual playstation console. It´s ridiculous.

Some would argue consoles are way cheaper than a gaming PC but that´s not necessarily true once you account for steam discounts and not having to pay online subscriptions. And lets not even address the elephants in the room that are piracy or the fact that there is a lot of other things a gaming PC can do.

There is absolutely no reason to support SONY and his anti consumer practices. None.

>>714966189
>that's because steamies hoard games and they not playing them
Compared to console peasants that are lucky to get even one (1) new exclusive a year, which they ditch after beating it once, only to return back to Minecraft / Fortnite / Valorant for the 700th time?

And let's not even get to the subject matter of games like PUBG already clocking 1 billion registered players a day on Steam alone, 10 years ago.
