Disgaea is fucking dead. And the labyrinth games with it. Galleria could have been such a good game, but they fucking rushed it out the door like Capcom.
What the fuck is wrong with Japanese companies now? Why are they so fucking weak and pathetic?

I bet Sony won't release a single game that will outsell Donkey Kong on PS6 and for that reason they will continue to try to sell their games to everybody, this too will lead to their tragic downfall as their consoles sells less. Also how are they even supposed to count MAU shit on PC or Nintendo or whatever? They can't force PSN shit on other platforms afaik

I was already trying to keep it conservative by only asking for things that are on PS4 already instead of the real asks, like a Ratchet & Clank complete series.

>>717529253
It'll probably just lead to a huge market loss for T2/Rockstar/Sony. Nintendo wouldn't be affected because pretty sure it'll only come out on Switch 3 anyways.

>>717529253
It'd be nice but I'm not sure if we're so lucky to see a game like GTA6 fail to make money. Even if it only comes out on consoles, it's up there with FIFA, Call of Duty, and Fortnite as the game that everyone with a PS5 or Xbox owns.

>>717519640 (OP)
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and The Last of Us II: Remastered Remake HD Edition, will save PS.

>>717529482
I expect them to either port major games like spider-man etc first than more smaller stuff, smaller stuff will ironically take more time maybe never because Sony is so stupid they don't care.

You're getting absolutely fucked by Nintendo, so no, not really. You, yourself, aren't winning shit. Nintendo is just screwing you while you try to claim their sales and 'wins' as your own. And at this point 'wins' don't even mean games, but shit like the palworld lawsuit.

>>717529912
I was talking about Xbox and N. Even so same thing, Sony haven't prioritized older PS4 games so no reason anything will change. Biggest games first

>>717529926
The argument is that it wont reach their expectations since they are so fucking high, not that it wont make money, no one is saying GTA 6 will be a flop

next they will sell their small exclusives ips to bandai
and release all exclusives day 1 on pc

It already has. It's just PC.

I'm a ride-or-die Nintendo guy and Sony leaving the vidya market would be one of the worst things to happen for video games as a hobby.

Microsoft was ahead of the curve, they have a massive advantage because of Windows and Xcloud for mobile. Consoles can’t turn a profit unless they’re $800+ if they want to deliver better performance and PlayStation has no software ecosystem, they have to move fast and don’t be surprised if a PlayStation app/store gets announced for PC

Why don’t the japs bring back PlayStation? Why are they forced to do this? Does Sony of Japan secretly hate PlayStation from the jump and wants to dump it elsewhere? Hence why it went to Cali? This seems so forced, guy in the pic seems even exhausted by the brand

It’s a matter of time until Sony sells the PlayStation brand and assets to someone else. Hopefully Sega, Bamco, or Tencent. Either of those can easily take it over and make good games

>>717531707
Nintendo's entire business model is consoles. They are not a conglomerate like Sony or Microsoft, they cannot reorganize and reallocate like those two cans, it's either consoles or nothing for them.

>>717529253
My barometer for this is if COD isn’t dying, GTA won’t flop

>>717522979
3% of Japan's population is not ethnically Japanese, and that is only going to increase as the years go by. The concept of Japan as a nation has effectively ended.

How does this make any sense? Sony makes the majority of its money from third party game sales and micro transactions. If they have no hardware, where are they going to go? Become a storefront on PC?

I love Sega, but that ship has sailed. They've lived too long being used to collecting sales from multiple platforms. You shut off that intake of Persona sales on PC and Sonic sales on Nintendo to try and put yourself in a position that may not even exist in the current market climate, and you realize pretty quick that you've made a mistake.

Sony first party games suck ass.
What's their grand plan here?

>>717531964

Copy Xbox and make it so libraries carry over to their PC storefront perhaps

But Xbox and Steam are partially integrated at this point and I don’t know if Sony is anywhere near capable of pulling that off like Microsoft. For now it largely means going multiplatform to extract more money, like how Microsoft is making more money by porting to PS5.

>>717519640 (OP)

>Nintendo will never make mobile games

>Nintendo will never make microtransactions
>Nintendo will never charge for online

>Nintendo will never put their games on PC

Nintendo is also late but they will always follow industry changes and porting to PC is just the future otherwise we're gonna see Nintendo being forced to release $100 games because they dont sell enough games to make money.

>>717532168
They got lucky the 3DS pulled through, and portability has always been their saving grace, but they are down to one hardware line. It's worth remembering they had to kill one, the games didn't save it, and it was following a trend of failures. If their only remaining hardware line flounders, that's the moment they start experimenting with PC. They're a public company, their investors are not going to sit around for years to watch their main pillar start to crumble and pray that it won't happen again for the next decade long device. Consoles are inherently an extremely risky endeavor, a risk PC does not have to contend with.

>>717532198
>You shut off that intake of Persona sales on PC and Sonic sales on Nintendo to try and put yourself in a position that may not even exist in the current market climate, and you realize pretty quick that you've made a mistake.
You’re wrong, people buy consoles for exclusives and unique experiences. Why do you think people buy Nintendo? Because of the logo?

>>717532251
Xbox gave up the console war so the Microsoft gaming division could thrive, is the better way to put it. They view a total consolidation between consoles/PCs/mobile as being inevitable

>>717527271
They're spending AAA money on making modern day classics like Crazy Taxi. They are going to lose so much money man, the games they want to make new games of would be or even are minigames in newer games. Crazy Taxi as a game does not work in today's day and age unless it's like $10-15 at best. It was literally a free DLC mode in Days Gone.

>>717532332
>Dreamcast 2
Any news on that?

>>717528137
Always has been. Video games dropped in quality once Sony entered the market and they got worse when Xbox entered. This is just fact.

>>717532573
Young gamers have no platform loyalty, they play the games on whatever devices they own and if the game is not on there they arent gonna be bothering to get the game. The future reality of game publishers is that they have to go to where the gamers are now.

>>717532482
Nintendo owns the majority of their own stock despite being publicly traded, Nintendo can tell everyone else to fuck off and do whatever they want.

When pc hardware is locked down and everything is behind a paywall (it's coming very soon), what will be the next cope for you guys?

>>717528868
Because they're retards who want short term profits and line going up. Literally anyone can tell you that this is how a brand loses its identity in the long run. What reason do people have to stick with a PS6 if every platform will be getting the game now since you want to focus on the "Community" rather than your own brand? It's so short-sighted the CEO and Jim Ryan had to be intentionally sabotaging it.

It's insane how they don't even ask why Nintendo aren't porting their exclusives.

>>717532305
Putting their games straight away onto Steam? Haha, fuck no. But creating their own launcher? You bet your ass they will. Their current model is not sustainable. They've essentially already admitted with their pricing that the S2 is not going to do as well as the Switch 1 and so in order to keep their current profits, they're charging more. And line must always go up for investors. If they start to struggle, that's it.
Now they'd only actually go onto Steam when they're real desperate and their own launcher doesn't work out. But they'd definitely create their own launcher. The only thing Nintendo loves more than money is control.

>>717532726
>Nintendo owns the majority of their own stock despite being publicly traded, Nintendo can tell everyone else to fuck off and do whatever they want.
That’s not how it works and I urge you to educate yourself on the stock market
>t. IB analyst shit posting from my office

>>717532726
No they can't. Not how it works. Nearly all companies own the majority of their stock otherwise they open themselves up to takeovers. Blackrock only owns something like 7% of Nintendo and you could easily see its influence when the Switch2 asked what style of Mii you wanted.

>>717528137
Based. Nintendo will always be the last ones standing making actual games. It's comfy to just sit back, play some good games and watch from a safe distance as everything else burns down. This has been true even during Nintendo's weakest years. I loved the Wii U the games were phenomenal, I just did other stuff with my extra time during slow years.

>>717532054
Who this cute faggot

>>717531390
>Nintendo has already been showing their hand with the Switch 2
LOL
It was with Wii U with the disc-locked physical DLC funkopops and paid online with Shitch 1

>>717522979
All the good Japanese video game companies like Toaplan, Compile, Data East, Irem, Hudson Soft etc. died 30 years ago. The only ones left are the few large corpos who sold their souls to stay afloat.

>>717532772
How will you lock down PC hardware?
Pretty much anything can be PC hardware, it's basically impossible to "lock" it.

>>717532498
People still buy Nintendo consoles for exclusives because they have monumental pillars of gaming like Mario Kart and Zelda. Normies buy Playstations to play GTA and Madden. Non Nintendo consoles haven't been driven by exclusives for over a decade.
Sonic, Yakuza, SMT/Persona, they're all franchises with diehard fans, but most other people will realize they can live without them when they suddenly need to buy a $500 box just to play them.

So, the only way to make money in the current market is to make dirt-cheap shovelware for children, as Nintendo does? Grim.

>>717528953

Is Sony retarded? Sony doesn't have the infinite money glitch of Microsoft, if they kill their walled garden ecosystem line will plummet because sure as more people aren't gonna buy their games. Their audience is the Playstation gamer, not the tendie or the Xbro. Anything to not admit that bloated budgets were a mistake and that they need to scale back. They don't even have CoD like Microsoft to fuck around and play 3rd party publisher.

Persona/Sonic/Yakuza as exclusives would legit be a bigger deal than what Sony has nowadays. Make it an ARM portable with a docker, allow dualboot with Android/Linux to compete with the Steam Deck, give the menus a frutiger aero look to bring that whole soul vs soulless conversation everywhere, call it "Dreamcast 2", and watch as people go insane over it

>>717532419
>Nintendo will never make mobile games
Pressured by investors after 3DS underperformed and Wii U flopped.

>Nintendo will never sell DLC
>Nintendo will never make microtransactions
>Nintendo will never charge for online
Who said any of these?
Anyways, it's literally just greed, no reason not to do this when the competition is doing it and gaymers will eat it up.

>Nintendo will never put their games on PC
They have zero incentive to do this because it would damage their brand.
That's why they went after emulators in the first place. Nintendo wants you playing their games on their ecosystem.
The most I can see them doing is ports of their more hardcore franchises that don't sell as much like Metroid or Xenoblade, but even that is a stretch.
Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and Smash will never touch PC unless they have like 3 Wii U-tier console flops in a row.

>>717533142
>as Nintendo does?
Not really.

>>717519640 (OP)

>>717531964
They have nothing to sell a console on though, most games would be new IPs if they had to.

Sonic is a major hitter but even Sonic Frontiers only got up to 3.5 million by 2023 and that's one of the best selling games in the series.
Purse Owner can move units but the secondary games don't draw as many people in at all so mainlines are all you really got. It's not niche anymore but it's also not a heavy hitter either.
Yakuza is a budget series and even now it's only gotten a slightly larger budget as far as can be seen. Theoretically it can work as a main brand game but I don't know man, 8G is "selling well" but they've given us no numbers whereas 8 hit a million very quickly. In general the series is lucky if it hits even 1 million sales which it has only done twice (JE and 8), or arguably four times (5 and 6) if you take into account Japanese interviews for 5 and western sales equaling eastern sales for 6.
Total War is mainly just popular on PC so that doesn't work.
Puyo Puyo is mainly popular in arcades but it is popular.

All their old games would have to essentially become brand new IPs outside of, what, Ecco? A modern day Altered Beast or Golden Axe would look like the 3D Castlevania games, not what they were. You simply cannot sell what they were just with a new coat of paint for $70, no one would buy it but nostalgiafags.

Billy Hatcher, Ecco, and Virtua Fighter could work as fully priced new games.
Super Monkey Ball can barely even sell out of the clearance bin and is regularly at $5 discounts everywhere.
Jet Set Radio's success in modern times can be seen in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk which is constantly on deep sales.
Space Channel 5 only works as a $20 game. You know it and I know it.
Samba de Amigo works if you have a Taiko no Tatsujin level of a tracklist and even then $50 is the highest you can sell that and even Taiko goes on heavy sales. Rhythm Festival hit $20 so quickly.
Rub Rabbits/Feel the Magic would be a $20 game.

Wrong; the worst thing was losing Sega as competitor and subsequently having Sony entering to gaming (thanks to their "cinematic" games cancer). That said the monopoly happened because Nintendo did the hard work needed AND the others simply went full retard and sudoku themselves

Sakura Wars flopped to an insane degree when they tried a reboot.
Phantasy Star is still coasting along with PSO2 but I don't see why they couldn't do something with it.
Panzer Dragoon, House of the Dead, and Ocean Hunter are $20-40 games at best. You could maybe pivot House of the Dead to a REmake series though.

>>717533765
Think for five seconds about the IPs they could use to push a console. An enormous chunk of them are arcade games that would have to be turned into something unrecognizable to the original. No one is paying $70 for Altered Beast but now it's in 2.5D, or Sega Bass Fishing but the controls are better. That doesn't mean that you can't have God of Altered Beast or something, but the point is most of their IPs would essentially be new IPs.

I gave you tons of examples of what they realistically have in their pocket if they ever pursued such an avenue. So many of the series they have couldn't even be justified for anything more than $40 nowadays, they've had tons of flops, and you'd primarily be seeing a permanent loop of Yakuza, Sonic, Persona, and Puyo Puyo as they occasionally throw a side game in there. The fact they're pursuing a AAA Crazy Taxi is beyond me.

>>717533394
It doesn't matter if people go insane over it. If those games sell less than they otherwise would by not being on PC, they're going on PC.
The ONLY reason Nintendo does not do this yet is because they believe it will devalue their brand when their games lose that shiny exclusivity factor and have to compete directly, and they're right. Whether they're so right that they'd end up selling less games if they were to also sell on PC? Ehh... Unlikely. But Nintendo wants to retain full control. That's the other half keeping them tied to their hardware.

>>717533889
>the worst thing was losing Sega as competitor
Ain't that the truth

>>717534182
Cant wait for $100 games and for Nintendo to sue companies for copying their gameplay. They deserve to do this for winning.

>>717528868
When will you retarded tendies get it through your skull that the game market Sony (and Microsoft) occupy does not buy glorified Wii games like the Switch market does. Their games have expectations that are too expensive to develop and keep one one console, it's financial suicide.

They really don't. It would be a huge blunder for them to try and get back into hardware and tie games to it.

>>717534428
>That’s the publisher’s job, not yours to worry about.
Right, but the success of the system relies on the IPs and what they can do with them. Sega in general does not do big numbers when it comes to sales figures for their games, so they'd have to make fairly budget games consistently over and over which I can't see winning people over either. Like I said, Yakuza is considered one of their highest tier brands nowadays and that's a series where 1 million is a pipe dream most of the time.

>>717534245

Not him, but I legitimately forget Bananza even exists unless it's brought up here.

>>717534249
Nintendo is also facing the industry problem of game development becoming more expensive and taking more time, which is why they started pushing for $80 games because they do not sell enough games to sustain their current expense of development. If the $80 games fail in bringing Nintendo into higher profitability, they would be forced to put their games on PC like in China first because they are the most PC centric country that has completely ignored Nintendo's games because it's not on PC.

They've had very successful partnerships with the actual console manufacturers in the business let alone releasing games on PC

>>717534428
We have the Sega sales leak and their best performing games is Sonic Frontier and Persona 5 Royal which sold like 5 million each. Xbox alone outsells everything Sega has combined and they are struggling. Sega will not be able to make a console work in this day and age.

>>717534586
>Iwata.
I think he said something along the lines of not doing predatory DLC like EA or Activision do. He didn't outright say they will never sell DLC.

How did Xbox win so hard? They saw the future of gaming and got there first while Sony and Nintendo are scrambling for scraps.
Xbox won.

>>717531038
Nintendo's making those kinds of shitty decisions because they know they're basically the de facto handheld. They're the ones who dump all the money into marketing and presence, so they're the only ones the average person knows exists. They already essentially have a monopoly in that space.
But yes, any Nintendo fanboy who unironically thinks this is a good thing for them just to own the snoys is an idiot. Nintendo doesn't give a shit about their little slapfights, it's just going to fuck them as hard as it can get away.

>>717533620
>>717534246
Regarding IPs, that's under the mindset that SEGA has enough manpower and investment to make new installments period
A lot of their upcoming and recent revival games were handed off to or licensed by small indie studios and not made internally at SEGA

Not as important as ehat the tariffs are doing. Sprry but you're just gonna have to cope for a few years.

>>717534838
> realistically, it also probably doesn't need to exist

Sales pretty much refute this, Nintendo has zero reason at this point in time to change their business model. Also they have no pipeline for publishing on other platforms(because they don't need to). Xbox, PC, and Playstation are all clawing for the same market segment

>>717534639
$80 wont save them as its been a negative for every company that tried it. Same for $70. Games are selling worse, albeit faster. Compare the best selling PS5 games to the best selling Gamecube games and you'd be shocked. The industry really needs to move towards shortening the development time. The industry has been in a 4 year contraction and Nintendo is going to start feeling the bite this generation.

>>717534730
They're probably laughing their asses off now that the Switch 2 has allowed them to piecemeal release the Yakuza games for like the fourth time in the last 10 years.

>>717535146
pcfags pretend they aren't the first to beg for switch dumps

>>717535273
Nintendo has some of the most talented devs and management in the industry and as mentioned by them

>Mario kart world took 8 years to make
>DK Bonanza took 6 years to make
>Zelda ToTK took 5 years to make and over 1000 devs

and we still know they're spending time cooking their other games too. There's currently no real way of speeding up game development and Nintendo is only late to the issues the rest of the industry by a console generation and they are already feeling the pressure of requiring more people, more time and more money to make the same games they used to.

Wait.....Sony can't be dumb enough to try their own Game Pass equivalent right?
RIGHT!?

>>717535043
I'm at least happy that they're directly publishing Lizardcube's games now rather than licensing like they did with Wonder Boy and SOR4.
This is a great partnership that they shouldn't let slip through their fingers like they did with the Mania team.

I can’t believe they just let Nintendo win… like this… this is disappointing

>>717535273
f2p games won, games are selling worse now because there's so many free alternatives. why pay $80 for a game you'll beat in a week or 2 when zoomers having been playing fortnite for free for 8 years? it's only going to get worse as the gen alpha kids growing up on roblox and fortnite get older and still don't want to buy games.

mainstream gaming is running into the issue pc had in the late 2000's and early 2010's. everyone was playing multiplayer blizzard or valve games, no one wanted to play anything else. pc gaming companies like epic started making xbox 360 games instead because the market was dead, gamers played dota,wow or cs 1.6 instead of buying new games.

>>717535518

So Nintendo is the first to push for $80 for nothing? For them to raise the prices of all the accessories, controllers and amiibo because they're making too much money? For them to keep nickle and diming everything on the switch 2?

They need more money to keep their pace up, if they were fine with the amount of money they made they would have kept everything the old price for the switch 2.

>>717535352
Sony and Playstation has been dead to this place and more dedicated circles for ages. It's unironically just the Nintendo fanboys who try to still pretend they're around because they need to feel justified in their shitposting, that they aren't the little man, and it's a hell of a lot harder for them to go after PC.

>>717535463
EPD is genuinely one of the most well organized studios in the history of video games when you get down to it and Nintendo has other first party studios and second party partners guaranteeing a healthy slew of games.
Sony and Microsoft don't have an EPD equivalent

>>717535729
Dont forget that roblox alone is responsible for many innovative games made by new people, when they experiment and try new things they can pump out a new game to hit a trend within a week. At this point why pay $80 for a new switch 2 game when a roblox game can just copy the gameplay and you'll be able to play it for free? That's why all the kids are all on these F2P games nowadays.

Atlus isn't "buck broken", they skip out on Nintendo as they please for no rhyme or reason, so why should Vanillaware be held to higher standards if Atlus can permit themselves to skip out on the undisputed market leader in their domestic market?

>>717535679
Yup. Funny how retards twist themselves into a pretzel to push "N-N-Nintendo is next!" narrative in a Sony going 3rd party thread.
Nintendo is investing in themselves building a 3rd development building and hiring hundreds of people every year.
Stark contrast to Sony buying 10 studios, putting them all on GAAS then shutting down all of them.

He's going to buy PlayStation, isn't he?

>>717535352
Everything has been slowly normalized to where you go “I’m not surprised”

It's time for Nintendo to poach some more snoy devs now that you mention it. Is Team Asobi the only JP studio they have left?

>>717535994
Nintendo took the slow and steady growth path. Xbox and Sony overhire and have to fire them, which looks bad. In the end Nintendo isnt doing any better than the other two, they just took a slower more measured cautious path of growing.

yeah, i think companies can see the writing on the wall. the growth potential isn't there for future generations and software sales(which are needed to offset cheaper console prices for sony and microsoft) are drying up. you can have someone buy a ps5 and use it as a genshin impact and apex legend machine and spend a grand total of $0 in sony's ecosystem since f2p games don't require ps+ to play online. for consoles in particular, that's probably a big part of why boxed games don't sell. you have to pay an extra fee to play them online.

It is unironically just old jap stupidity for vanillasoft to not port to pc. They don't have the reasoning like nintendo does, it's just clueless stubbornness that's costing them sales.

This reads to me as they’re focusing more on porting exclusives to other platforms even though they’re still making hardware

>>717531913
Top kek!

>>717536527
but who wants to buy their hardware when there are no exclusives?

>>717536267

Fanboys will try to argue, but they're arguing against Nintendo themselves. They've already admitted as much and are now looking to try and make smaller games. Which isn't great since MKW looks like a Wii U game and DKB looks like a butt fucking ugly Wii U game.

>>717522979
This is the opposite of weak. Japanese companies and East Asian companies in general have focused on hardware which allowed the USA to dominate high margin digital services. Choosing to compete in this arena is ultra based because they are going head to head against the most powerful American tech monopolies. They are obviously not going to stop making consoles.

>>717535994
If Nintendo wanted to, they could easily buy all sorts of studios and publishers with the fuck you money they've accrued but they'd rather just focus on bolstering themselves directly rather than buy more satellite studios under their surveillance.

If you need a console you just buy whichever one your friends have or have some other benefit you want (timed exclusives for PS5, game pass for Xbox), if you don’t need a console you don’t buy one. That’s where we’re at with the industry. Buy a Switch 2 if you want to play Nintendo games, so on

Two things can be true at the same time. Nintendo is hitting new headwinds. This is not the Switch era. They have all new problems to contend with. And they know this, they've tacitly already admitted they don't expect to sell as well, which is why they're raising prices to compensate.

>>717532054

Reminder to you jeets they thought ps was going to be the main platform only to sell mainly on switch

That's not really all that out of the norm for those franchises, they only make 1 Mario Kart per console and 1-2 3D Zeldas.

>>717531038
You're right, but Playstation dug its own grave after abandoning Japanese devs and chasing GaaSlop money. It was a matter of time.
I can't believe how short-sighted and stupid the western video game industry is and Nintendo getting cocky is bad news.

Playstation just admitted defeat. Thhere's no other way to interpret that as a shareholder. This is like when Bernie Stolar told everyone in E3 that the Saturn isn't our future. It's time to put our investment into a console and an economy that we know will be around in 2030, and that only one is Microsoft. Yes, the Xbox.

>>717535994
All this means is they needed to hire more people because, like they said, they need more people because game development needs more manpower. The issue is the industry isn't growing anymore but cost of development goes up. Publishers and analyst pushed for $70-80 games but all the sales data shows is they make less money. Even ToTK made less than BoTW was ToTK sold 66% of what the original game did (it needed to be within 84% to match). There is no solution other than to make smaller games but no one wants to do that, Nintendo included. It's either open world or they pick a design feature that take an eternity to implement (breaking shit in DK, the building shit in ToTK). We'll see if Nintendo can avoid the awful AAA sales, but looking at DK Bananza's Japanese sales, they may run into a similar problem that Sony and Microsoft did.

>>717535463
Nintendo has the exact same problem as the other AAA devs. It's just rather than the games taking longer because of graphics, they are taking longer because they are open world or the game play gimmick takes forever. ToTk didn't need to be 5 years when they just reused BoTW's map. Nintendo would be better served either making iterative sequels or making smaller novel ideas with new IPs.

>>717539095

I could swear it was much earlier. That means they were still japanese during the PS4 era and everything made until like 2018 (as in, almost everything pre PS5) still had their hand in it somewhat
The moment commiefornians truly took over they just started telling the devs that made games that sold well on PS4 to just repack them with added wokeslop as sequels and told everyone else to go head first into GAAS slop or close down. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

ceos found a lil' hack where they import workers, pay them pennies, and force them to work extra hours lest they get shipped back to their third world shithole. many employers straight up hold onto their passports so they're forced to work for them for their visa duration. it happens in the everywhere including japan and the usa. tthat's what the town with meme about people eating cats and dogs was really about, a local corporation was importing haitans to work for cheap and dumping them into a small nearby town and the immigrants were ruining it.

So I guess this means first party game companies like namco, capcom, epic studios, naughty dog, tempo and even nintendo are gonna become the new Sony in terms of billion dollar revenue once steam and pay gaming expands their gaming development to only game makers not console makers. A billion dollar Suda 51 company wealthy enough to produce a no more heroes movie. Sounds based

>>717533170
suselords forgotten yet again...

Here's the full context for everyone:
"Thank you very much for the question. So the investment in Bandai, and of course, we have been shifting to creation. So for example, the entertainment 3 businesses basically account for 60% of our consolidated revenue. So basically, our business portfolio is shifting more to the creation. And then as for the Electronics business and TV, compared to output devices, we are now shifting to creation devices that include digital camera. So as a result, we are seeing more stability in profitability and in revenue, and also the productivity of our performance is increasing. And against such backdrop, and for example, in the Music business, Music Streaming and EMI Music Publishing has been acquired, and then we increased the music catalog. And as I mentioned in the speech, in gaming business and moving away from a hardware-centric business to more to the community- based engagement business, and then that has been increasing. So now as we make more transition to entertainment creation, the stability and the productivity, our performance is increasing. So this upward revision might not have been a direct result of these. However, the Music Publishing and also acquisition of a music catalog and also the acquisition of Crunchyroll, these are the areas where we are seeing growth. And as a portfolio, we have been expanding our businesses and also improving our profitability.

TL;DR: Sony always had this idea in their business. Playstation is still going to be around but more of a key to their world. It's likely we'll be playing the same game for a while longer.

I joined in 2007 buddy. Started on /b/ doing combo/get/duckroll threads. Remember Jessi Slaughter and Project Chanology? Good old days x

I'm gonna miss consoles but if it's really over, I guess I'll get over it and just play on PC.

what does any of that mean?

>the parents didnt love you starter pack

Whats even worst about this is that they killed off all their respectable and well loved IPs before deciding this. Jim Ryan left, but the company is still Jim Ryan in spirit.

Then you know pepe isn't classic 4chan

>>717543323

>Japanese company
Choose One. They have been US American ever since the PS4 era.
And it's been showing. They haven't had a fucking clue and sunk the ship with no survivors.

not surprising, xbox is actually beating sony when it comes to active users. Hardware was never where console makers made their money.

>Is Team Asobi the only JP studio they have left?
they poached the asobi talent ages ago anon, the only ones left in actual asobi are literal gooks, race traitors, and literal indians

Well, you were wrong ayway. This site peaked today. And then tomorrow. And the the next day. And this just repeats. If you feel otherwise then you're just a used up faggot who needs to leave this website

pepe is 4chan culture

so who's going to challenge nintendo in the console space now?
are we going to live another nintendo dominated era for a few years now?

>>717543874
Probably means Unicorn Overlord did so well on the Switch the devs had to apologize for running out of physical copies and make more where is the PS version was almost non existent.

Sega really is a tragedy. The Saturn was a pretty cool console with my favorite controller of all time. In an alternate universe, Sega wasn't manned by retards and it got awesome games that led to the Dreamcast living longer

I told you guys they were going to shift to a platform model like steam. Playstation+ will just be like a subscription model that tv shows have. Here's your curated library of select Playstation games and you get a discount on buying newer releases similar to what humble bundle does. Those newer games will eventually get into the subscription but not for a while.

>Sega
come on anon, I like to believe too but unless sega was playing the longest game and waiting for the perfect opportinity to jump back into the console race like some anime mastermind, I really doubt they would care or try at this point

>>717529953
They make good games worth their price.
Enjoy playing emasculating shit like God of Onions or The last of Queers 2.

>>717531038
Funny how these situations are only a problem when it's Nintendo on top, I didn't see anyone say this when Microsoft announced that Xbox was effectively dead

>>717528801
Not my problem.

>>717544574
Not anymore they don't.

Tendie victim complex is a hell of a drug.
