>>716449275 (OP)Consoles as a concept are dead, really. They had merit when computers were clunky, operating systems were awkward, and powerful GPUs were unheard of.
Now, there's just no reason for their existence. They're just specifically programmed computers with slightly higher specs than market average.
>>716449675If the movie actually ever comes out expect ports, if not don't hold your breath. Nobody would want to do it except Bokeh and it's doubtful they could afford the licensing fee
Will nintendo return the favor to us after we all go multiplatform?
>>716449614Doing so well they've had to lay off tens of thousands of people and shutter like half the studios they've purchased, brilliant.
Nintendo won. Sony and Microsoft caved in like bitches.
>mfw judeocorp makes 2.45% more profit than zogtech this quarter (I don't own stocks in either company but I did consume the products of one of them)
>>716449746no, their entire business model is like apple, as closed source as possible. just look every single weird gay cartridge and disk they've invented in hopes you can't pirate their shit
>>716449275 (OP)Weren't exclusives only good early on when cheap PCs weren't great alternatives? Everybody went "hey instead of spending 10x the cash, buy this dedicated gaming machine!" and it worked fine. Exclusives then pushed those dedicated machines then creating the big names we know today.
But nowadays it's far easier to buy a reasonable rig that can play everything without breaking the bank. Why remain "exclusive"?
>>716449784THE COPIUM HAS ARRIVED
>>716449694
>>716449724Retarded cope, Xbox and Sony will inevitably flame out if they continue down the paths that they are while Nintendo will still be doing just fine.
>>716449436If microsoft had never come back to pc their game division would be dead.
>>716449694>>716449873The only copium is here, Xbox is doing nothing but burning money
>>716449857>Why remain "exclusive"?If your game is a real system seller, or the console maker pays your team a ton of cash to keep exclusivity (or own you outright).
>>716449746Only when the higher ups start droppin dead and the new fuckups ruin everything. Enshitification is inevitable.
>>716449951The only thing keeping Xbox alive at this point is Microsoft hiding the expenses for GamePass behind five different sub-divisions, in some vain hope that they can fake it long enough to force it at higher prices.
>>716449959>xbox is shitting the bed in hardware sales and brand recognition>it's also shitting the bed by closing studios and killing games while bloat still festers>their ONLY GOOD FINANCIAL MOVE that is called going multiplat is actually not shitting the bed and proved itself so that now snoyggers will follow suitkeep crying bitch nigger
>>716449746Revenue and profit from their games selling on the Switch 2. So, yes? Just put Forza 5, Diablo IV, Oblivion, Sea of Thieves and it will sell. Tony Hawk 3+4 is already doing well on the Switch 2.
>>716449857Why would you willingly give up 30% of your profits to some third party competitor when you can keep it all to you AND get a cut yourself?
Sony has to do that because their game costs bloated up until it wasn't sustainable to only release on their own console.
Nintendo doesn't need to do that because they kept their dev costs reasonable.
The box office /biz/ wannabe faggots on this site are seriously fucking mentally ill. They don't even react when you make fun of them. They just keep going on their endless pointless faggot LARP. It's seriously fucking insane.
After the disaster of the Xbone's first year, a good chunk of Microsoft shareholders were calling for the Xbox division to either be sold off or outright closed - it was only Xbox Live subscriptions that saved them. Question is, now they've spent so much in the last decade, what are the chances of them facing this again? I know a lot of MS shareholders thought the Activision buyout was an extremely questionable decision.
>>716449784That's because they replaced the dei hires with AI
>>716449275 (OP)>ps1 comes out>people who only play sports and driving slop say Nintendo is dead>ps2 comes out>people who only play gta say Nintendo is dead>ps3 comes out>people who only watch movies say Nintendo is dead>Ps4 comes out>people who only play cod say Nintendo is dead>Ps5 comes out>people who only pretend to play games to support lgbtqia bipoc causes say Nintendo is dead>ps6 comes out (?)>Playstation is dead.

So the winner of the console war is officially Nintendo.
>>716449887Nintendo will be doing fine due to excellent marketing, not because the Switch 2 is anything the world benefits from.

>>716450161>when you can keep it all to you AND get a cut yourselfGreater reach.
The only ones I can see preferring exclusivity are smaller titles.
>>716449746They'd put Master Chief in the next Smash game they make.

https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/sonyinteractiveentertainmentglobal/jobs/5587289004
So it's true. When you think about it though, consoles haven't really had exclusives worth a damn in the first place for generations. You buy a PlayStation for the PlayStation experience, the UI, the controller, etc. Likewise for Xbox if you pick the way they do things over PlayStation
>>716450462>KEK send [a bunch of dead franchises they didn't touch in decades]you're absolutely fucking delusional if you're waiting for those specifically

Oh what a fall
>>716450462This. Their better games are being put out by third party publishers already.
>>716450401Who needs greater reach when your offerings are interesting enough for people to flock to your own ecosystem anyway? They sold 155m switches and 1st party games did most of the work. I can understand why they'd rather keep their games exclusive to their own platform. It's what helps them sell it. Games sell, not being a status symbol for insecure teenagers and thirdies.

>>716450272Back on the WiiU days there was doubt but at the end they won and HARD, they have an output that put to shame any other publisher.
>>716449857Consoles used to be very different too. A game on the Sega Genesis was completely different than the "same" game on SNES so exclusives made more since. The last time exclusivity made any since was when the Sony was hyping up the power of the cellโข for the PS3. Now most 3rd party exclusives go multiplat after a year anyway.
>>716449275 (OP)>Sony looking to release exclusives to Xbox and Nintendowhat exclusives? they've already been whoring themselves out for years now
>>716449275 (OP)Turns out competing with PC was a bad idea. Nintendo had the right idea with going for hardware gimmicks

>>716449275 (OP)Software is the only thing that matters. Nintendo has had a monopoly over consoles for over a decade, everybody else has given up. This is a good decision.
>>716450840This is why console war faggotry is stupid. Fuck exclusives, let everyone play what they want on whatever they want.
>>716450845And it's probably gonna go up even more when their $150 million 12-story office is up and running in 2028 or 2029 or whatever.
>>716450872What if the PS6 copies the switch and becomes a handheld? Will it save Sony?
Wonder what's the next game to come out. Maybe Gravity Rush since both games already have an HD version to port from.
>>716450772>the only first party on the left side is already dead and buried.Sony shat the bed HARD with PS4, the hubris got the best of them.

Fighting against more sales is just fighting against your own desire for more of the games.

>>716449436I see people are conveniently forgotten those 9,000+ layoffs not too long ago. And there is going to be more of that in the future. People will get angry and then move on to the next drama like claiming victory they are paying for $70 games instead of $80 games. Just forget about the $20 extra charge to play 5-days early or the $150 collector's edition that doesn't include a game in it. The trillion dollar company listened to us to lower the price by $10 for the base price because they really care about the customers...
>>716451058it's a good action RPG with a fully playable party and fightan-style chainlinks.
2 and 3 were already performing way worse than 1. and DoD came out when the next gen was already available

>>716449275 (OP)>Gravity Rush re-release on my Nintendo (tee-em) productWould be cool.
>>716451078Given it was the main reason they started porting to PC in the face of rising budgets, has Sony's push on Steam actually had much success in China?
>>716450729T-T-THOSE DON'T COUNT
>>716451113Probably because the console wars isn't really over. A ps6 and a new xbox are guaranteed. The console war will not end until only one company is releasing a console, and I honestly doubt that'll ever happen
>>716451113Largely because nintendo left the "war" after the gamecube and went and did their own thing. aside from the wii u it's paid off well.
>sony releases everything (except Bloodborne RIP) on PC
>xbox has no games
>nintendo games are all easily emulated
who cares?
>>716450729who even gives a fuck about those? Ape Escape and Gravity Rush would have been much more hype. And in GR's case it's much easier to port. yet they didn't bother. i would love to see them again but don't get your feelies up just because they rehashed a PSP and PS Vita game
>>716451034If they went all in on ARM for really good performance/watt I could see it working since PC handhelds are stuck on power hungry x86. But still they'd need good exclusives.

>>716449275 (OP)Expanding to other platforms just means day 1 releases of live service games, because those benefit from a high player count and FOMO at launch. Sony is not going to suddenly release their single player exclusives on other consoles, at least not day 1.

>>716451695I'd have to think Playstation wasn't dumb or lazy enough to think the Chinese would go crazy for Western AAA games. There has been a longstanding and established video game market in China for decades. They could've just looked at that history to see what games Chinese gamers have liked. But if you're going to start courting a new market, you may as well start with the games you already have. The China Hero Project was years away from fruition. The very first games from the project are only releasing in 2025 and the first PC ports were five years ago.
>>716451352>Gravity Rush>hypeYou're just setting yourself up for disappointment again lad, don't to it to yourself.

I like where this is going
With the release of Hotshots Sony will have more games on Nintendo than Microsoft
So when will Sony sell the PlayStation brand? Iโll give them 10 years. Anyone else?
>>716451034Nah its too late. Unless they give everyone a free digital copy of every game bought then its dead on arrival. The switch 2 despite its flaws has improved switch 1 games to give it an impact. The real fault of that whole ps4 generation was the introduction of the "pro" console. It made generational uplifts meaningless
NOO..IT CANT BE
NOT ON XBOX, ANYTHING BUT THAT
>>716451078Gamalytic has it at about 500k sales. You need to learn how that data works
>>716452364Nobody knows how much patapon sold on the PS5, it was digital only. We can assume it was the highest though because of the playstation heritage
>>716452424Never. Europeans and Arabs are brand loyal to Sony and can keep them alive even if they die in american and japan

Remember when Nintendo was going to go 3rd party after the Gamecube failed? And after Wii "abandoned the hardcore"? And after Wii U failed? Remember all these?
>>716451842Because if it was just "2k to 20k sales" then they wouldn't keep doing it. In reality these games got to expensive and the main audience only buys sports games and call of duty now
In the end, this is all you ever needed.
>>716452424m8, they didn't even sell pic-related in the early 2010s when they were hemorrhaging money and Sony Corp desperately needed hits, this is despite us knowing from the email hack that Kaz Hirai wanted to but was terrified of a shareholder revolt, the PS division will be fine.

>>716452581Fucking subhumans EUcucks
Imagine the meltdown when nintendo eventually announces Playstation 1 coming to NSO and they show off a nintendo brand PS controller
>>716449275 (OP)How does this compare with Sega forced to be a 3rd party developer when they made the wrong gamble in releasing the Dreamcast very early with incredibly slashed prices when their financial situation was in a very precarious place.
>>716452656It depends. Did Sony Pictures put their entire decade's plans on a single game that died in 10 days and offered refunds to everyone that bought said game? Were they scammed out of billions of dollars by buying a studio that released a game that is far worse than the previous one as well as a game so unappealing the only way it got any traction online was when they were accused of stealing art? Not to mention the game that I mentioned before is also in the middle of a legal battle too?
>>716452581>>716452656Thereโs been a lot of shareholder butthurt and theyโve wanted Sony to sell their semiconductor business among other things. Considering games are a net negative like xbone I wouldnโt doubt it happening. I think tencent or netease would buy it. Then total Chinese century
>>716452424Sell the brand? Why?
>>716452370there ain't no blame
sometimes the picture just don't fit the frame
>>716452770This and Dreamcast for NSO would actually push me to consider getting a Switch 2.
>>716452832Shareholders arenโt seeing returns they want. Look up Third Point
>>716449275 (OP)Good.
Exclusives only existed due to consoles having a great difference in system architecture and capability.
They're all the same technologically (minus Nintendo being a gen behind) So there's no reason not to put your games on everything you can. It just gives you a wider market.
>>716452790Chances are they're going to still make and release consoles for the foreseeable future so not as bad as that. At worst this means that playstation will have 0 exclusives, but it basically already does
>>716452882What PS1 games do you want? Square Enix doesn't put their games on NSO
>>716452803>Did Sony Pictures put their entire decade's plans on a single gameYeah actually. People seem to forget that Spider Man was Sonyโs get out of jail free card in the late 2010s. Now Sony Pictures went from a liability to an asset even without Spider Man
>>716452925Don't think that means they're going to sell the Playstation Brand.
>Look up Third point. If you cannot care enough to make an argument, I don't care to do it for you.
>>716452803I think you need to remember just how badly they were doing in the early-mid 2010s, also Sony Corp was in REALLY bad financial shape back then.
Did you not read the leaked emails with all those retarded ideas that ended up being cancelled? Remember shit like the "Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe" or how badly they bungled the Amazing Spider-Man movies that were meant to be their answer to the MCU? It was only that Jumanji movie freakishly overperforming and the Disney deal that saved them in the end. If you ever think the PlayStation division is being run badly, just remember that it could be Amy Pascal or Tom Rothman in charge.
so will people be mad at nintendo for "holding back" games with their weaker hardware if this turns out to be true?
Oh yeah, this is happening!
>>716449432With Switch emulation it would be easier to finally play BB rather than using the janky PS4 emulator
>>716452990Square Enix are ultra jewish and would rather you buy their pixel remasters
>>716449275 (OP)It's over, Microsoft and Sony blew their load on massive teams, DEI, replacing the native workers with jeets and chinks, putting too much budget on games that will never release, hit a wall in tech with 8th gen, and now both PlayStation and Xbox are dying. This is why both Sony and Microsoft have heavily been looking at the Switch and Steam Deck, this is why their future is being third parties optimizing their games for the Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2. Nintendo and Valve won completely buy reading the room and doing nothing because they knew, they knew that this was going to happen, lmao.
Soon the king will make a comeback
>>716451842literally all snoy games on ps5 are flopping. its all sequels that are worse than the originals and also sell worse, new ips like astro bot and returnal are immediately forgotten (stellar blade is not playstation studios), a bunch of remasters of games that just came out that nobody asked for
if they did this when they were pumping out uncharted/killzone/infamous they would be insane to do it, but now? its literally a last resort type of deal. it's either this or they have to stop making games inhouse because they are not making money from them and they aren't the main attraction anymore.
>>716449746No, you Xbots and the Snoys will kneel to Nintendo's and Valve's fat cocks. Both companies waited years for this. America and Japan won, India and China lost.
>>716453119I don't think they care, just like people stopped caring about Playstation exclusives. They have plenty of slop to enjoy.
>>716452990I wouldn't mind the Oddworld games, Gran Turismo 1 and 2, Ridge Racer (R4 being one of them), Heart of Darkness, the Test Drive games, GTA 1 and 2, Parappa, Tekken 1-3, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Mortal Kombat Trilogy (a surprise game), Theme Park and some shmups.
>>716453024>>716453118>Should Eddie vape to show his darker side?
If stellar blade releases on shitch and xchot I'm legitimately kms
>>716450623Why even get a PlayStation or Xbox anymore, lmao?
>>716453119Games that release only on PS5 are sent to die. Only the turbo autist console warriors will be mad.
>>716449746No, I'm not sharing
>>716453230I wouldn't say nintendo has been doing nothing. They've been growing hard too but it seemed to have paid off unlike microsoft and sony
>>716453375Did you not see?
>>716453375Well I mean Stellar Blade was originally a PS4/Xbone/PC multiplat that Sony only got involved with when Shift Up ran into funding issues.
The reason Shu Yoshida shills Stellar Blade all the time is that it was basically the last relevant game he was involved with before he got demoted by Jim Ryan.
>>716451034It doesn't matter anymore, they lost to Nintendo and Valve, what's even the point if I'll be able to get their games on a Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2, plus Nintendo and PC exclusives with better backwards compatibility at cheaper prices.
>>716453561Nice inspect element, fag
>>716453728https://www.thegamer.com/stellar-blade-could-be-making-its-way-to-switch-2/
>>716453512Yeah, you're right, Nintendo and Valve been building this up since the early 2000s. Nintendo saw the direction Sony was going and didn't want to follow it, Valve saw what Microsoft was trying to do with PC along with abandoning it and made their move. What we see today is a culmination of everything Nintendo and Valve built up because they predicted this future would happen. Nintendo and Valve saved gaming because neither had survived back then, Sony and Microsoft would have collapsed the entire industry.
>>716453281Sega is the all-time greatest there ever was at dropping the ball. They can't stop failing, and they never will. Just absolute dogshit.
>>716450047>>716451170It's amazing there are people truly believe they fire 9000 people across whole Microsoft was because gamepass
>>716453194I get porting this game and all, but why were they tryna push it so much on switch of all things? Was first announced in that march direct before anything and is the only one with co-op. Besides, rhythm shit is one of sonyโs shticks, I donโt even think any nintendo fan bothers with rhythm games, let alone heard of them
>>716452824The fact they didn't sell off Sony Mobile back then was genuinely very surprising.
I know they're not sold in all regions anymore, but they are in mine apparently, which is shocking because I haven't seen anyone with an Xperia since like 2012. Who the fuck is buying Sony phones?
>>716449275 (OP)Everything makes sense now.
>>716453787I highly doubt that since Sony is the publisher for even the PC version, but whatever
never ever lol
>>716453787>some guy on some Korean forum claims it's happeningCome on, now.
>>716453826And both are smaller than Roblox.
Hope you're looking forward to more Solo Leveling garbage
>>716451038i hope its a ape escape collection. then, they'll do ape escape 4
>>716454148Said Korean forum guy was the one who posted the pic of the Shift Up CEO gifting his employees a fuckload of Switch 2, let's not play obtuse. Stellar Blade will release on the platform
>>716453826>Sony and MS would have collapsed the entire industryNigger, they dont even represent 30% of the video game pie right now, you're delusional. Not even Valve or Nintendo represent any big chunk of gaming today.
>>716454183Solo Masturbating when?
>>716449432Sony hates that game, so probably not
>>716450279At this point just doing the bare minimum by releasing a console that plays video games means they have a monopoly.
>>716454183>Hope you're looking forward to more Solo Leveling garbageQrd? Whatโs that?
>>716454150and how profitable is that for them
>>716449275 (OP)What exclusives?
>>716454565The unfortunate thing about Nintendo winning the war in the generation is that it comes at a time when Nintendo is their most uninspired and shitty. Congratulations to Nintendo all the same, but I really wish it wouldn't have been now of all times.
>>716449275 (OP)i just want astrobot for pc, thank you
SONYBROS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!
>>716449275 (OP)I only care about Ape Escape and Gravity rush, like they did with Patapon for switch. Grandpa of war is shit, snoys can have it.
>>716454714That's the wonderful thing. They haven't earned a dime in profit. Yet they're still worth 70% of what Nintendo is worth. They're losing money every day but the market still thinks they're almost as valuable as Nintendo.
>>716454747>winning the war in the generationmeant "in this generation"
>"Ha, Ha ha! Steam wins!"
"Oh no! You sent me a unoptimized piece of shit port like Wuchang while the console versons can actually play the game! REEEEEE!!!"
>>716449275 (OP)NOOOOOOOOO NOOO NOOO NOOOOOOOO
>>716452656I remember thats CBS fomer CEO wanted to buy it and Sony music
>>716454043Game is doing well in Japan and was made with being portable in mind. Seems to be doing better than the PS5/PC release.
>>716451164what causes people to act like this
attention whoring?
>>716454309Spats are kinda hot
>>716455158being a manchild
>>716449724>Now, there's just no reason for their existence.Their existence is because each system has their own set of niches that can flourish on their own systems due to years of building up specific brands and genres paired with the fact that smaller selections means less competition allowing smaller games to flourish and games to find a hold leading to more niches forming.
Sony and Microsoft porting to other systems is the most retarded thing they could ever do to kill their brands. For Sony it's long term brand damage that lessens a reason for people to jump into their ecosystem, less reasons for devs to even remotely gamble on exclusives for their systems, and in the long term less people will care because most of what they have will be accessible on other systems like Switch 2 or PC. Microsoft was dying so they had to hit an emergency button, but you can see how they're functionally becoming a modern day "Sega after Dreamcast" and becoming a random third-party brand now. They've lost their privileged status as a console leader due to multiple blunders and now porting everything off what they do have.
I do not even remotely understand anyone who is anti-exclusive or anti-console, it is literally a net positive for gaming in every single way and the more we move to multiplat being the sole option the worse the landscape as a whole gets. Everyone has to compete with everyone instead of small companies finding a foothold on things like the Switch or the PS5 and building their brand from there. We literally saw the benefit the Switch 1's empty eShop brought to so many indie devs and small time devs. Everyone has to deal with thousands of games being released on Steam instead of maybe 50-100 on consoles. The worst part is that exclusives aren't as necessary meaning you don't have these new niches and genres forming out of thin air as much since the competition is far greater due to how many platforms you compete with instead of in your own ecosystem.
>>716454058>Who the fuck is buying Sony phones?Nips
>>716451164I will never understand this. He could just sell the console.
>>716449275 (OP)wouldn't this make tendiesnoy a real insult?
>>716449275 (OP)I understand why some games could fare well on Switch or Switch 2. But Xbox? Those yanks don't even buy second hand games.
>>716452824Chink fingers writed this
>>716455314Nips buy iPhones, not Xperias
>>716450739Why wasn't the third game included? Why?
>another era of Nintendo being the only console maker
Yay, monopoly! Yay, unfair consumer practices!
>>716455268Nothing in your post addresses the rise of live service games which are becoming their own digital platforms.
>>716455445Because it was oriented entirely around multiplayer and much of the mid, late, and postgame is built around having three other real people with endgame great pairing up with you. It was also not well liked at all.
>>716455268>I do not even remotely understand anyone who is anti-exclusive or anti-console, it is literally a net positive for gaming in every single way and the more we move to multiplat being the sole option the worse the landscape as a whole gets.Retards here and on leddit plus X canโt understand because theyโre retarded consumers
>>716455378Patapon and other PSP style games can have a second life on switch but yes I don't see anything selling on Xbox.
>>716455480Nintendo Switch 2 is the fastest selling console of all time. Please shut the fuck up now.
>>716449275 (OP)Maybe Sony can finally do something with Qbert and Lemmings instead of letting them rot now that they're going multiplatform
>>716451376Arm would fuck with bwc
>>716455480I mean steam still exists anon. Future is most likely only Nintendo and Valve.
>>716449275 (OP)I see sony is going full retard. Their pc ports are mostly flops, porting shit to xbox makes no sense as xbox players don't buy games, porting shit to switch makes no sense either as tendies rarely buy multiplats. They are destroying the brand for basically peanuts
Silver lining? Kratos can be in Smash now.
>>716455565um isn't that helping his point? Or are you just mindbroken by higher number = better?
>>71645081780% of it happened
I'm glad Demons Soulless never got ported though the original is way better.
>>716449275 (OP)it will probably be their live service slop and shit like mlb the show. if it's not and it's actual games, that'd be hilarious. put astro bot on switch 2 and it'd sell great.
>>716455694>I see sony is going full retard. Their pc ports are mostly flops, porting shit to xbox makes no sense as xbox players don't buy games, porting shit to switch makes no sense either as tendies rarely buy multiplats. They are destroying the brand for basically peanutsI want to know how the retards there get these jobs? Itโs crazy how a few /v/irgins from here can turn that company around but they canโt
>>716449275 (OP)But not Bloodborne.
>>716455727I find it ironic they remade Demon's Souls in the first place
Yamauchi's laughing in his grave.
>>716451034PS6 will be a console but they're making a handheld PS5. they just added an option for PS5 games to use "power saver mode" which massively underclocks the hardware, so you can save on your electric bill right? (it's going to be the handheld power profile)
>>716455705The point is really weird because when Nintendo was the near monopoly (NES-SNES), it just lead to a total general improvement over Western console.
>>716452469>Unless they give everyone a free digital copy of every game bought then its dead on arrivalThey didn't in ps4 , They will not do this
>>716450462And Wipeout. Can we have Wipeout?
>>716451715probably low four figures
>>716452510bloodborne in the switch
>>716455687What about GOG?
I haven't turned my PS5 on in 3 weeks
>>716451297Go back to your containment thread
I predicted this, there is no longer a reason to buy a PlayStation or Xbox.
>>716452364Also
>That switch 2 survey that sony made
>>716454747>it comes at a time when Nintendo is their most uninspired and shittyBut they haven't made a NSMB game in years.
>>716449436Xbox is doing gangbusters revenue they just suck at pandering to their own fans.
>>716452803Kinda, a bit later though. They canned half-finished Popeye movie and made the fucking Emoji Movie instead of it. It somehow made money tho, unlike Concord.
>>716449746Depends on how well the Switch 2 holds up. The investors have been demanding phone ports since forever now.
>>716456189They made Odyssey, Pikmin 4, Metroid 2 Remake and Dredd.
Also DK Bonanza
All sanitized, safe, easy and insipid.
>>716455480Valve exists, it's not Nintendo's or Valve's fault Sony and Microsoft were stupid.
>>716449746Why would they? Their systems are fine and worth the price
HOW COULD THIS BE?! I DEFENDED SONY FOR 8 YEARS AND NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING TENDIES AND THEIR PAID ACTORS, PEDO RINGS AND ERWOIRGOWIUSWEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>716456210>Xbox is doing gangbusters revenueCitation needed
>>716456108You also havenโt turned on a woman, ever
>>716452581>euros loyal to SonyFrance is a Nintendo country, though
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO
>>716454138Sony also published their games on Switch.
>>716449436perfectly fine considering they're owned by Microsoft and will quite literally always be fine
told you faggots these companies would be moving towards going full digital platform and selling everything on every store possible, console warriors are living in the past
>>716456147If you are someone who cares about video games enough to come to forums and imageboards to talk about them, you're on PC or have a Nintendo + PC combination. If you're not on your 30s or older and you want to play games, you're playing on mobile (iPhone, Android, iPads, etc), browser games or you're wanting a PC to play games like the streamers and e-celebs they watch. This has been the case for many years now.
>>716456504>nintendoNice try
>>716456307Heh. Wonder how the schizo's taking this
>>716449275 (OP)Seems like Sony and MS are competing to see who can kill their console business the fastest.
>>716452581>>716452750Europeans are mostly on PC
Only FIFA retards get the shitboxes
Microsoft is making bank but Xbox is dying
Look at Clair Obscur physical copies, PS5 copies are gone, Xbox copies are available. Game pass, going third party, it all worked out for Microsoft but Xbox players are coming to PlayStation. Switch 2 cant run any new PS5 games so who cares, let them have the few PS4 games, think of it as charity they donโt have much going on and they jump for joy for 10 year old games โfinallyโ coming to their console
>>716456271This, Valve and Nintendo were doing their own thing while Sony and Microsoft basically killed themselves.
>>716449275 (OP)Itโs because the console war is over. Nintendo is in its own lane and Microsoft have effectively thrown in the towel. No need to hold exclusives now, people will just decide between console and PC at this stage.
>>716456581Europe is pretty much Sonyland
>>716456504Yup, when the OLED Switch 2 model releases in 2027, I'm getting that and a Steam Deck 2, no reason to get anything else. Gaming is finally healing.
Shit, does this mean we getting this on the Switch 2 and/ornPC? Either way I'm not fucking buying a PS5 for the only exclusive they have.
>>716449275 (OP)what exclusives? Deathshit 2? This generation has nothing worth playing.
>>716456605Good, Microsoft was a festering cancer that still looms over the industry, the landscape of gaming became 10 times better the moment they started to have the upper hand.
Actual games that aren't just third person, first person and car games now.
Shame about Sony, but they followed Microshit to hell so now they can die, slow but steady.
>>716456645Why is the Playstation brand so huge in Europe? I know that Sony spend a lot on advertising at big soccer games but I'm sure that's not the whole story
>>716456645That's because UK, France and Germany, those Amerimuttoid owned shitholes, keep importing browns.
>>716456749>Why is the Playstation brand so huge in Europe? They successfully marketed their consoles in Europe and made a strong effort in localization. Nintendo did not have the resources for that but Sega did have a presence in Europe but they were eventually replaced by Playstation
>>716456504>PC brownoids trying to ride Nintendo's coattailsNice try, but you still have no games.
>>716456680would be kinda weird since it's a game about sucking sony's cock but maybe
>>716456749Anti-American sentiment, mainly.
>>716456765Jeetsoft loves AI
>>716456749Nintendo barely advertised here, Sega did since we had a gap.
Sega got replaced by Sony and FIFA shit made sure all the niggerball retards were stuck to it.
PC gaming was always a thing and never really went away.
Nintendo lost the European market essentially, way more niche here with some exceptions.
>>716456657Steam Deck 2 just needs to nail the price relative to actual perceived value. Since Nintendo is finished trying to be different and innovative now, if Valve can get the value of Steam Deck 2 right, there will be no need for Switch 2 outside of giving one to your kids if they even ask for one.
>>716456749They're basically the face of Fifer in terms of consoles and people in Yurop love their futbol, they had free online which got a lot of people on board in Eastern Europe specifically, Xbox in general was more expensive so the poorer Eastern European countries had less of a reason to opt over to it compared to PS3, and Call of Duty had exclusive content which got a lot of people during that gen.
They also did a solid job in the early years pivoting into the major European countries with the PS1 and PS2, especially with the PS2.
>>716456735Sony fell for the GaaS and PC ports and Microsoft was stupid enough to buy a ton of studios and not do anything with them and replace them with indians and machine indians.
>>716456996>80s>90s>Europe>Anti American sentimentMy boomer dad was jerking off to Arnold and drinking Cola by the jug.
Fucking retard
>>716456918Might as well since Sony's attachment rate is godawful.

PCbros... We've won.
Guys weโre getting gravity rush 3 only on switch 2
So Valve Sony and Microsoft bent the knee to Nintendo
Good
>>716449275 (OP)It's a repeat of what happened in the late 90s. First they start putting their games on PC, then they start publishing them to other consoles. I fully expect PlayStation to go fully third party in a few years. PS6 might unironically be the last one.
>>716451034People were already calling the switch 2 overpriced, you really think an even more expensive one with no games would do well?

>>716457043Microsoft expected to make all those studios exclusive to their platform, especially the dearly yearly dead horse milking money making COD.
Then Sony lawyered up and lobbied up, these companies have a ton of dirt on politicians, and they pay them out the ass too.
Why the industry is barely regulated compared to Movies, TV and even Casinos.
>>716449275 (OP)hell yeah, we will finally get to play all Sony exclusives such as...
>>716451892>How the snoys will react about they precious game being ported to the Fischer toys Tablet?anon that game is older than some people here.
They should just make a one size fits all console already.
>>716457369Bloodborne?
Stellar Blade?
The only good Mario game, Astro Bot?
>>716457354Yeah, they lost hard and had no choice but to put Portal 1/2 on Switch
They couldnโt even outsell the Wonderswan
It's for their GaaS slop games not for their moviegames
they long for their own fortnite, they will never get it
>>716449354making the product I purchased worthless to chase profit is bad
>>716452591>>716457464>Stellar BladeAlready confirmed the game and the upcoming sequel are coming to Switch 2
>>716457498Nintendo lost so hard you are now paying for 80 dollar games
lmao
>>716456565Maybe that's why he has been on a spergout this week.
>>716457672Sounds to me like no competition, Deck flopped, Sony and Microsoft has no choice but to put games on their system.
Everyone gave up.
Why are these fucking bozos so retarded, how can you look at what happened to xbox and say "hey lets do that too"
Goddamn western retards

>>716457269I've been saying it for years: if you want to know Playstation's future then look at the shit the Xbox brand does that people hate.
With this, Sony is going to start gutting more of their studios and killing off any IP they deem to not make enough money. Sony's currently in full short-term gain long-term pain mode, so anything not making enough profit will be getting axed. We'll probably see less games from both them and Microsoft going forward that will be the same franchises for a while. We're currently seeing the AAA crash right before our eyes. The future of gaming will be indies and AAs on Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2.
>>716457705PC still has exclusives and we get all the Ninpedo games/
You will seethe about it and you will dilate about it!.
>>716457369The JP developed games. The western developed ones can go eat shit.
>>716456735Creativity and innovation are about to make a huge return in a big way.
>>716457808>exclusivesMaybe on ich.io
Hell Valve had to cave and pull emulators from Steam because they know theyโd have to give Nintendo Steam when they lose in court
Donโt worry though Gabe will die soon and Blackrock will fix Valve for good.
>Americans take over Sony
>It goes to shit
IMAGINE MY SHOCK!
>>716457808>He drops Sony the instant they have troubleThis snoy ho ain't loyal.
>>716457732Sony doesn't even remember 95% of that
Plus they would make them all shit just like all their new exclusives lol.
The latest SOCOM was a PS Move game ffs
>>716457798Yep. The era of AAA single-player is over.
>>716457808Is that balding fuckwit still posting here? What the hell
>>716452529>playstation heritage
>>716457869cope
>>716457879Sony lost me at the PS2, nothing they ever make will ever beat that.
>>716457883*AAA is over
FTFY. you'll get GTA, COD and FIFA at best.
>>716457879Corporations don't care about you. All of them don't
>>716457035Pretty much, it'll be the culmination of what they learned from the Steam Deck now released fully out in the open. Switch 2 will be for kids to teens, Steam Deck 2 will be for teens to adults.
>>716457808I dont know man. Im not calling any one console or platform "based" but I've seen more faggots with fag flags upset at the pricing. Some even claiming its "capitalistic" and phobic for pricing out hrt using fags"
>>716449436>How did that work out for Xbox?Half the top 10 on PSN are Xbox ports, so I'd say pretty good for the gaming division, but not so much for the hardware division.
>>716449275 (OP)Theyโve done this with MLB The Show since 2021. Nobodyโs head exploded.
>>716457829>>716457732>All those dead franchises If Sony actually made sequels to these games instead of movies and stopped being gay they wouldn't have gone third party
>>716457206>ValveYou smoking?
>>716452529At launch week it had barely like 20 reviews and didn't chart well. It sold well on switch and pc though
>>716452529I think most of the PSP players are now tendies. But I could be wrong. I don't think it sold well at all on PS5.
will leafs and south americans ever accept console wars are over??
>>716449275 (OP)>XboxWhy put games on a dead platform?
>>716449275 (OP)Exclusivity is dying unless your the holdouts like Nintendo and PC.
>>716458038The cope then was "mlb forced them to!"
>>716449275 (OP)This makes sense considering that Xbox is no longer competition in the slightest. It's basically a watered down PC at this point. Nintendo is doing their own thing and being able to play PlayStation titles in handheld form is enticing.
Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft should colab on making one console that plays everything.
>>716449275 (OP)They are going to do something retarded like exclusively releasing gravity rush 1+2 on switch 2.
>>716457498>Portal 1/2Those were already on Xbox and PlayStation though. Steam Deck can play games that can never come to consoles and is made for those games because it's a PC.
>>716449354Nintendo Won, It means that their products were not premium enough to sustain them because how badly mismanaged they've become. Nintendo literally had a fisherprice tablet for sale and they still won out because how incompetent sony is.
>>716458003They're the most vocal, also the poorest, that HRT and that vasectomy ain't gonna pay for themselves.
Plus they have a wifes son to take care of!
>>716458125It's not dead. We buy games, Square Enix has been making bank porting all their games to xbox
>>716457732>Ape Escape>Dark Cloud>Team Ico games>MedievilThis list is depressing. Sony died with the PS2
>>716449275 (OP)So the future of console will be just playstation or xbox flavored prebuilt PC.
So....multi-plat LittleBigPlanet?
>>716458240>It's not dead. We buy gamessaar, please do not redeem the game, do the needful and redeem the gamepass in alternation!
>>716458074m8 half the reason why they dropped a lot of those IPs is that they didn't sell. Genji? Sequel was a mediocre flop that's only remembered for GIANT ENEMY CRAB and poisoned the well for samurai action games for years. Folklore? Pseudo-sequel on the PSP sold literally 3000 copies. Oreshika? Allan Becker literally had to fight tooth and nail for it to get an international release only for it to flop and wind up as PS+ fodder only a few months later.
I miss a lot of them too and there were genuinely dumb decisions made there (like Gravity Rush 2's marketing) on the publishing side but there was no financial incentive to keep most of them alive.
>>716458201Nintendo doesn't need Sony or Microsoft the same way Valve doesn't need them. Sony and Microsoft just need to shove their games on Switch and Steam and call it a day, it's over.
>>716458426All of them with few exceptions were awfully marketed by Sony, the American and European divisions were more busy selling their western slop like Killzone and God of War.
Even Twisted Metal marketing was embarrassing.
>>716458247It's sad, PS2 was the last time I liked Sony, OG Xbox was the last time I liked Microsoft because even Windows Gaming was great then before Vista.
>>716458617Xbox dying after paying journos and developers out the ass to state PC gaming was dead for like a decade feels so fucking great man.
Fuck Microsoft and fuck it's retarded fans, fuckers are half the reason the modern industry is so fucked.
So what Sony games are actually worth buying? I tried Spider-Man when they were giving free PS+ streaming trials during covid and it was pretty mid.
>>716458725>All the games on this image are on PCIt's over...
>>716458617The first few years of the 360 under Peter Moore were good to be fair, Lost Odyssey is a better FFXII than the real FFXII

>>716458845True, also, if PS3 didn't fail, Tokyo would have kept the PlayStation.

Shit started in around 2006 and reached it's peak in 2010
>>716457625>Stellar Blade>coming to SwitchNo it won't. The Switch can't run PS5 games
>>716459168>360 DVDs caused piracyIt took almost 20 years to find a softmod (temporary) for the 360 and like 5 for full on PS3 CFW. Sonyfags are so fucking retarded
I get the feeling all this lets go multiplat kombaya bullshit is just because we are nearing the point where everything is going to be cloudbased and not hardware based and the companies want to be ready
>>716459168Yup, first it was Peter Moore leaving Microsoft, it led to Microsoft Corp getting involved with Xbox and gaming and shitting up both PC and console gaming, then Sony gave PlayStation to California after the PS3 and they destroyed Sony's first party and killed the Vita. Both got rid of the custom tech and shifted to AMD PC chips and this was only the beginning of the end.
>>716458971I'm suggesting that the reason Xbox didn't do well in European markets due to anti-American, allowing Sony to capitalize on it, retard. But good job on proving that America lives rent-free in your head.
>>716459168You're absolutely right, but to be fair none of this shit would have happened if Sony didn't do the PS3 move and Nintendo re-released the Gamecube with fucking motion controls.
>>716459112Isn't this exactly what happened with Media Molecule and Dreams? Yoshida said that they had these big plans to make it into a sort of recruitment tool for talent but they all pretty much fell apart when the game underperformed out of the gate. All the people at Sony on the publishing side who greenlit it and were involved with it in the early stages had either left or been demoted by the time it came out and their replacements didn't care about it so plans for a native PS5 release and then a PC port were killed.
Actually Yoshida going scorched earth on the podcast circuit. and revealing all this shit about the inner working of the PlayStation division is pretty fascinating. You can tell he's really pissed off about how he was treated in his final years.
>>716459178Sony HQ moved the PlayStation division to California in 2016. The reasoning was that Japan had screwed the pooch on the PS3 and then Vita, and most of their revenue was coming from the States, so the division should be headquartered where the majority of the action was happening.
>>716459264I fucking knew it. You can almost always tell when the change started.

Feels great!
>>716459351Fuckall to do with that and the 360 actually did very well here because Sony completely fucked itself with the PS3.
You don't know shit about Europe you EOP Amerimuttoid zoomer faggot, shut the fuck up.
>>716449275 (OP)Nintendo fucking won
>>716459479Yeah as crappy as modern consoles have become, the shift away from custom hardware was a definite improvement

The reasoning was that Japan had screwed the pooch on the PS3 and then Vita, and most of their revenue was coming from the States, so the division should be headquartered where the majority of the action was happening.Well, this explains why the first few years of the PS4 were great, 2013-2015. Why would Sony screw themselves over after making a comeback?

Honest question: What can a PS6 and an Xbox 5 offer outside of graphics? What can be done graphically that isn't already being done right now? That's really why new consoles come out, for the graphics. It sure as hell ain't for the games or utilizing the hardware.
>>716458217>Nintendo WonIt was inevitable. Sony and Microsoft have basically killed each other in the race to be the dominant platform in the cutting edge visuals market, which is now unsustainable without multiplat releases. Nintendo stayed within the confines of strictly profitable budgets and hardware and are now doubly reaping the rewards.
>>716453119They're since 6 gen
>>716461214Rothschild control of the UK
Well they have to cover their 1billion USD loss.
>>716461468>What can be done graphically that isn't already being done right now?Plenty of new stuff that can be done graphically, but modern AAA games sure as hell aren't doing any of it!
>>716461687I'm honestly not impressed. FMV's were a mistake.
HD was a mistake.
>>716458145they literally did thoughbeit
>>716461468They'd run games better, and a stronger console would lessen the difference between performance mode and graphics mode. Plus consoles aren't really at a point yet where an upgrade in graphics is completely unnoticeable. You'd have to compare them side by side, but it's still there and that's how it'll be advertised.
>>716461581Funny how they bought Bungie, made a new studio for Concord, all to chase the live service meme, and they all fail and the only success is by the Magicka studio you bought years ago.

>>716461921>BoughtArrowhead is private anon, Sony never bought them out!
>>716461921I legitimately don't understand what the hell they were thinking with how they handled Concord. Like actually funding the game, yeah fine you make some misfires by misjudging market trends sometimes, but then actually opting to spend a fortune buying the studio as well before the game was even out?
What the fuck? You can't tell me someone wasn't getting their palm greased during that whole thing.

>>716461214The Jews have been in control of Europe since before America even existed.
>>716462029>>716462204No, it's called embezzlement
Thanks for the golden parachute Sony!
>>716449436Two of the top ten best-selling PS5 games of all time are from Xbox. Keep in mind this is without any of those console/controller/headset bundle deals that Sony has typically done for its own games, yet Xbox was able to push out better sales numbers than God of War and Horizon anyways.
>>716449275 (OP)>Make hugely big budget titles>The price it costs to make games begins to skyrocket from needing 1 million sales of a game to 6 million due to expanding the budget 2X every console generation>Microsoft and Sony realize there is not of the userbase that will buy the exclusives and make up the costs to make their money back because they spent 320 million total>Both of them decide to go multiplatform to make their money back including Steam>Meanwhile Nintendo does not need to do this as they reasonably increase budget by 2-3% per console generation >Only need to sit at a comfy 1.4 million sales total, only spends about 60 million to 30 million per game.Nintendo is definitely a real Video Game company including Valve. Sadly Microsoft and Sony did not realize the long term consequences of spending too much and expanding the budget too quick.
>>716461986Oh thanks for clarifying
>>716462029>>716462204How could they ever think it would be a hit? Also there's simply a very low change a new live service game will actually grab enough people to make it profitable, I find the whole situation baffling desu, what the first guy said about somebody pocketing a lot of money with the deals seems so likely.
>>716449275 (OP)keep those retarded dei games off of my PC
>>716462320Huh, Ratchet and Clank actually did pretty well
>>716462323They've been growing too quickly since the 7th Gen days.
Now they can't maintain anything at all and investors are pulling out in droves.
>>716462320ps5 is such a shit console. Astro bot is it's only good game
>>716462474Mostly because there was nothing else on the PS5
>>716462551Every Sony console since the PS2 has been shit, don't know why that would be any different now.
>>716452523500k * 60 = 30mil
Jesus no wonder multiplat works, imagine making a casual 30mil just by porting an already made game over which would cost nothing comparatively. Even if the game sold a quarter of this it would still be easily profitable and worthwhile to do
>>716462071you can keep spider-man gay boy. there hasn't been a good one since psx
>>716462657I completely agree
>>716462323>including Valvelol no.
>>716449275 (OP)It doesnโt get much more obvious that the console war is over

>>716462927collecting the comics in the game and being able to change costumes was the best part
>>716462885Not him but Valve started off as a video game company and they have remained a video game company for PC gaming, their SteamOS is specifically made for gaming, and their hardware is made specifically for gaming.
>>716463058when's the last time valve made a good game though? half life 2?

>>716463058Remember when they tried selling movies and TV?
>>716462323Nintendo is not exempt from the increase in the costs of producing video games, they are just delayed by one generation. Mario kart world, Donkey kong took over 6 years to make. Zelda ToTK used over 1000 people to make. Nintendo is scaling up their development by hiring more people and increasing prices because they need to make more money off the rising costs of development.
>>716450401I assure you snoymoviegame#235 doesn't need a greater reach than it already does
exclusives are the only incentive to buy consoles
>>716462396>How could they ever think it would be a hit?Truth is no one can really know whatโll be a hit and whatโll be a flop. To the consumer it may seem obvious but when youโre in the driver seat you can easily have that skewed perspective where you canโt accurately judge it. Hell just look at the music industry, if you were you take all the greatest hits in music, 85% of the time the artist didnโt expect the song to even be popular
>Also there's simply a very low change a new live service game will actually grab enough people to make it profitableItโs high-risk but the potential reward mitigates that for most. It cost millions, but the payoff is billions upon billions. Undoubtedly that potential clouded their judgement
>>716459289Not according to Sony themselves, thanks for beta testing

Also there's simply a very low change a new live service game will actually grab enough people to make it profitable, I find the whole situation baffling desu, what the first guy said about somebody pocketing a lot of money with the deals seems so likely.Reminder that concord was greenlit like 5 years ago when the video game market is totally different. The idea of video games flopping was unthinkable, there was always gonna be an audience buying the games no matter what. Concord was the first time a game made $0 instead of recouping costs at base minimum. The simple answer is that the gaming market today is overwhelmed with an oversupply of good games and people do not want to spend money on new games anymore not when fortnite, roblox, minecraft and the other infinite games exist.
>>716463360vr games don't count
>>716463261>Exposing my ROMsite to a clearnet siteFuckoff glownigger!
>>716463387Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop
>>716462396>>716463231>>716463345You can 100% tell that Concord was greenlit back when Overwatch was still really popular and the MCU was still king of the box office. Then add a bunch of "actually teenagers love gays and pronouns" shit from retarded focus groups and a 6-7 year development cycle to the mix and voila.
Amusingly, the game was doomed from the first reveal trailer because it never really escaped the "Woke Guardians of the Galaxy" critique and then Marvel Rivals came out not long after and pretty much ran off with the "Overwatch but capeshit" concept.
>>716463360>AlyxWow, one whole game! Meanwhile, Nintendo put out dozens of games in the time it took Valve to finish making it kek.
>>716463387>vr games don't countYeah they do. Since it's practically the most revolutionary game in the medium that hasn't be surpassed. Valve still deserve credit until other devs can pick up the slack and propel the medium like they should have after Valve set the example. It's also a very TECHNOLOGY game.
>>716463218I mean, Nintendo had their moments too with Youtube and internet
>>716463467they already know all your information
>>716463039nobody would complain if they never made games with miles morales in it, not a single soul
>>716463539vr only has one good game and it's called blade and sorcery
>>716463225Switch 2 will be Nintendo's last console, they have no reason to make a Switch 3 same with Valve with the Steam Deck 2, no need for a Steam Deck 3. Nintendo will just stick with the Switch 2 going forward and not push beyond, no point, Switch 2 is a future proof 8th gen console as the Steam Deck 2 will be future proof as well.
>>716459868Bro let's be completely real here, who gives a single fuck about bing bing wahoo games like these? This shit is for toddlers and manchildren.... I fell for the "BOTW is the greatest game ever" bait once and installed it on my PC waiting for the greatest gaming experience in my life and it turns out the game is just a glorified collect-a-ton with the most annoying mechanic I have ever seen in a videogame.

>>716463039>imagine believing in the ghost of.kiev
>>716463683I'd say the next best game after Alyx is Boneworks. That is another game that does certain ideas that would have probably expanded the premise of Alyx's own gameplay with it's very physics driven systems, and something more VR developers need to study and learn off. It's also quite impressive in it's own way, despite lacking the same kind of funding.

Ps4 sony is peak scummy
Push money to dev for them to prevent them to release game on Nintendo.
Dealing with Activision to lock DLC/Game mode from Xbox to over take them as THE FPS machine.

>>716462885Ask yourself why Valve has never needed to do multiplatform ports and just does so for fun.
>>716463225Yes and no. Yes they are scaling up development costs, but it's not 2X every generation it's basically reasonably scaling upward as the Handheld hardware moves upward. It also makes sense that Handheld gamers are not GRAPHICS focused all the time and just care about Gameplay. So Nintendo gets a pass by users and even Valve for Steamdeck.
