Why is Sony always able to get away with their anti-consumer practices?

No competition from Xbox.

>>719782141 (OP)
because their consoles is the default choice and they can do whatever they want

>>719782141 (OP)
The newest console I own is a fat PS3, and that's not going to change any time soon.

>>719782141 (OP)
They already hiked the price before tariffs and no one made a fuss about it either

>>719782141 (OP)
If you're not leaving Playstation behind after this gen then you're retarded.

>>719782214
>>719782285
Why aren't Sonyfags saying anything?

Sony should double the price next year to milk GTAfags. That would be funny.

>>719782365
Holy based

>>719783538
Do it
Vi is going to be meh anyways

>>719782141 (OP)
As long as consumers keep buying PS5's, Sony will continue to get away with shitty business practices like this. If people stop buying their consoles, then maybe Sony will change their behavior. It's not that complicated.

>>719783480
because when normies protest about something they just make a youtube video or a 4chan post bitching about it and then still purchase that shit
it's not really just sonyfags, it's literally all consumer cattle, that's how businesses actually profit

>>719782141 (OP)
arre tariffs even active? Because everyone seem to be increasing prices and blaming tariffs even though there are none. We are just getting milked hard... Well harder.

>>719782141 (OP)
Not my problem.

>>719783480
I have a ps5 and I fucking hate it, I'm not a sonyfag and I've already chewed out sony and specifically the piss5 for years now but it doesn't fucking matter because cattle will consooooom anyways.
If you consider this cattle to be "sonyfags" then yes they won't say shit.

I highly doubt people that were actually remotely passionate about sony back in the old days still are in the current year.

>>719783328
Don't underestimate the power of shitskins

Simple: it's ok when Sony does it

Since I don't "have" to buy the console or the games, a part of me really wishes that they just push it to insanity, I mean right now the converted price for Mario Kart in my country is 93 $, the Xbox SX has gone to 697,97 $.

Let it all rise to insanity, while they think that like the whales the big spenders will remain and as they realize too late that things will come crashing down because they are left alone........maybe things will finally start to improve.

>>719782141 (OP)
Because their top played games are fifa, madden, fortnite, and cod.

By being more pro consumer than MS and Jewtendo.

>>719783480
Caise they already have a PS5 you retard, why would they care the price went up if they already got one

>>719787713

This GIF was made in the mid 2000s and it's still as relevant as ever.

>Nobody cares
Well yes, the people who care and buy PS5 bought them 5 year ago (and even multiple to make a profit from retard buying from scalper)

You voted for this

>>719787658
You forgot the fan bullshit.

>set the fan to 50% speed during review and first month
>get all the reviewers to say "wow this thing is so quiet. Especially compared to the ps4"
>once the first impression window is over
>release system patch that doubles the fan speed.

Shit like drives me mad. They already have the market cornered. Anyone who wants a ps5 isnt gonna not buy one because the fan is a little louder.

>>719783480
Because the only ones that care have no sway and will buy it anyway.
The ones that don't will buy it anyway.
The only ones that won't buy it weren't that committed to vidaya anyway.
It just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
It's averaging 16 million units sold a year and barely has any games, anon. It's not like Snoys are gonna suddenly acquire standards this late in the game.

>>719789582
they should just make it a setting in the menu, no one care about quadruple A in the year 2025

>>719789713
See Nintendo fags apply their consoles logic to Playstation but it doesnt work that way. Nintendo cant survive a game drought like Playstation can because Nintendo can only run Unity level games and has no appeal outside of them.

everyday i grow more smug knowing i made 100% the correct choice in completely disavowing consoles ever since the PS4.

PS5 is better than Switch 2, Xbox, and PC. Cope.

>>719789272
Sony's unchecked greed is still hitting them when they price hike PS Plus to $160 a year

>>719782141 (OP)
>>Nobody cares
I don't care because I don't plan on buying one.

>>719782141 (OP)
Niggers will buy them on credit cards/installment plans and sell them for weed. Rinse and repeat for each annual Madden release.

>but now they're more expensive
>and has less storage space
pretty sure sony just want people to buy a pc at this point

>>719792118
who are you quoting

>>719793732
PS5 and Xbox both can do 120fps in multiplayer games

>>719793732
>>but now they're more expensive
Not $2000 expensive PC loser

>>719793732
They know Snoys will just bend over harder

>>719783480
>Why aren't Sonyfags saying anything?
Sonyfag here. I pretty much unplugged my PS5 and stored it in the attic. There is no games on it. Brought my Xbox 360 down instead and enjoying old games.

>>719796678
same, haven't turned my PS5 on in months. I've been playing shit on my modded PS2 and Wii. This gen is complete ass

>>719796857
>This gen is complete ass
fr fr. I think I've bought maybe 10 games total on my PS5 since release. Last game I played was KCD2 and before that Elden Ring. There was a huge gap between those two games as well. It's probably the worst console I've ever had in terms of actual vidya

>>719796678
>>719796857
>>719797037
You're just a jaded contrarian and return to playing your childhood consoles like an autist who rewatches the same show daily for years

>>719797326
Old games are better. They arent filled with microtransactions or gacha

>>719797606
Yeah bro
*inserts coin for extra life*

>Why is Sony always able to get away with their anti-consumer practices?
Because Snoytrannies are objectively and statistically the most braindead consoomers. Snoy could raise the price to $1k and those third worlders would still happily buy it.

>>719790980
I am happy you are able to at least share an opinion.

>>719796678
You can sell it for more than you bought it for

>>719797741
>plays an entire game for a handful of change

Good times indeed

>>719790494
I mean it IS thursday after all, it's honest;y excpected at this point.

>>719790048
Playstation is only currently profitable because of leeching third party microtransactions like from Fortnite, Genshin, etc. Nintendo meanwhile has no debt and like 10 billion saved for whatever they might need in the future.

>>719798683
So sony spends money on buying studios and securing third party deals while Nintendo hoards money and thats good for you because.......

>>719799976
No, Sony makes shit margin because they can't make any games people wanna buy.

>>719800237
Yeah forget spiderman 2 and ragnorak sold 11 million in a month

>>719799976
>sony spends money on buying studios
Yeah like studios which made Concord Fairgames and Marathon lmao

>>719799976
Nintendo used their money to build an entirely new building for a new in house dev team.

>>719800332
And they weren’t even profitable despite selling that much.

>>719801452
Wow one new dev team! Meanwhile sony and Microsoft collected dozens

>>719802012
And fired two dozens more after the GAAS they put them on flopped

>>719802012
Yes one new in house Nintendo dev team. Not wasted money on a third party studio that makes a flopped game.

>>719783480
it's like 85 percent of the way to the end of ps5's life, everyone already bought in at 60 percernt

>>719797326
most fun i had with my ps5 is trophy hunting ps1 and ps2 games lol
