Hiroshi Yamauchi, 24 years ago, predicted Sony's uncerimonious demise

Sony's mistake was believing that the Fifa, Madden and Call of Duty players would also play Sony's first party games.

why did sony and xbox give up on making first party games that are more gameplay-driven ?

They want the normalfag non-gamer audience because the MBA brained executives always prioritize untapped demographics over tapped demographics.

>Sony's uncerimonious demise

did i miss something or do people live in their own bubble made up of lies they tell themselves

I never get the dicksucking of this dude
>n64 failed
>gamecube failed
>3ds initially failed
>wiiu failed

Nintendos modern success comes from the switch, a device he had nothing to do with

half of sony profit comes from microtransactrions in online slop games, the other half from the entire catalog of games both exclusive and third party
in the grand scheme of things exclusives are irrelevant

>>717527292 (OP)
he must have been seething hard at sony coming into the market and selling 3x nintendo with their first ever console, and 6x nintendo with their second

nintendo........................................ won

That's because you have no idea what he actually did and I don't blame you, because a lot of the stuff he did are scattered across hundreds of articles and interviews, many of which are untranslated.

>>717528412
Add to this that they almost certainly think those untapped audiences will spend more (almost certainly wrong), and their preexisting core audience is locked in and won't ever jump ship, even if they're no longer catered to properly.

zoomers don't even know about the game boy
sad

>>717528268
Avowed, SoM, Doom and Grounded 2 all released this year. We still got GoW and Indiana Johnes DLC coming but Hellblade 2 also just got a super hard mode that also makes the lie of the game ending rot from the first an actual real mechanic.
>b-but n-n-n-not gameplay

>>717527292 (OP)
Playstation's numbers are that good, huh? This explains why Olímpio and his pedo cult are acting like this.

>>717529167
The person resposible for game boy got killed by the yakuza

The best selling console to date is still the Playstation 2. Undefeated.

>>717529407
Literally only "won" because it was a cheap DVD player

>>717527526
Some of them do. Ultra normalfags who play GTA, Madden, FIFA, COD, Destiny etc. do dabble in Sony's AAA games. Both are normalfag core, just to different levels.

The problem is Sony's movie games aren't expanding the PlayStation's audience aymore. The PS install base has been stuck at 115m~ for the last 3 generations. So their audience isn't expanding, and game budgets continue to skyrocket since ultra-realistic AAA games are a inflationary moneysink. That's one of the reasons they're trying to launch service games; MTX print money for successful ones. But the market is oversaturated, like 19/20 service games are absolute failures that waste hundreds of millions

The Western AAA industry is in a dire fucking state. Squeezed by greedy companies that turned the industry into corporate Hollywood since the 7th gen. And modern developers are creatively bankrupt and focus way too much on story shit rather than actual GAME DESIGN fundamentals.

>cope
the ps4 sold 120 million units. no one was buying it to play blu-ray movies.

He's not even predicting. He's literally just commenting at how the onset of the 3d and cd era, there were people getting all hyped up about fmv cutscenes, and prerendered 3d backgrounds that costed a fuckton. For every game like FF7 that went all-in on the high production costs of these kinds of game, there was another that led to massive deficits and bankruptcies. Even Square's Hironobu got drunk off of this success and helped lead his company into the massive loss that was the FF movie Spirits Within.

Those are not Yamauchi systems, that was all Iwata. He left Nintendo in 2005.

world's smartest snoy

>>717527292 (OP)
SNOY was always just a piece of shit middle man nothing more
never famous for any games they produced.
Never forget how they tried to gobble up Nintendo with the shittiest deal in history with the SuperFamicom CD.
Yeah bro we get all the software sales profits and control the software approval process while you get to live off hardware unit sales.
We really should have kept SEGA around instead of this stupid fraud mega corp...

>>717528580
Gameboy in 1989
NES in like 1986 or something

And he was president since the 40s, can you imagine? That's enough for legendary status.

Sony basically announcing their intent to port away more exclusives.

>>717528712
You'd think so, but exclusives have a very psychological effect. Part of the reason Xbox never recovered from the Xbone reveal no matter how attractive the platform became with Game Pass was because it didn't have any exclusives to speak of after a certain point. All of them got ported to PC, with some even going to PS and Switch. There's literally no reason to buy an Xbox in 2025 because you can get all of its games on other platforms.

And in time, people will say the exact same thing about Playstation. Then all that MTX will dry up as people stay on PCs for their live service slop.

>>717527292 (OP)
So when will Sony sell their PlayStation division? And who will buy it?

>>717529227
Every single "game" you mentioned isnt actually a game at all.

>>717531425
>You'd think so
anon it's literally in their business segment reports
>but exclusives have a very psychological effect.
but they didn't start to port them yesterday, we made almost an antire way through a generation already and everyone is fine with it
sony has a monopoly on the home consoles since xbox is pulling out and people already built their physical/digital libraries in their ecosystem

>>717531143
Game & Watch is even crazier when you realize the company was heavily in debt at that the time, and he still funded Yokoi's weird idea even though Yokoi had neither experience nor expertise at designing electronics, much less electronic handhelds.

>>717529558
Snpys audience is actually retracting

>but they didn't start to port them yesterday, we made almost an antire way through a generation already and everyone is fine with it
PS5 already had lots of momentum by the time the ports started. Furthermore, they've been late ports so far, with select games still not making it to PC(yet.)

PC is growing more than PS. People discovering it's an all around better deal, and you're gonna see that more and more without strong exclusives to entice people over to PS.

>>717527526
But the general public does consider Sony's moviegames to be really good

>>717527526
What fucking first party games? We know what they were banking on, and it was live service slop.
