last week, some anon asked "what will it be next week, what's all the bad karma gonna build up to" or something like that
is GTA6 being delayed, and Switch 2 selling 10 million in 4 months it? i can't help wondering if there's going to be something worse for Sony

>>725194859
> i can't help wondering if there's going to be something worse for Sony
The worst scenario I can imagine is if Sony releasing Astro Bot on PC and nobody playing it. It would be a big humiliation considering it's their most recent GOTY and also their current mascot.

Okay guys.
No throars for the next hour and 40 minutes.

>push out ps5 pro because of gta 6
>probably would have worked too
>it doesn't release

Please get delayed again into 2027, it would be so fucking funny

Splatoon 3 sales appear to have finally dried up, the time for Raiders (and Splatoon 4) is now Nintendo.

>>725195474
Also doesn't help Sony had to nerf the PS pros capabilities to keep the console from melting the ideal way to play GTA6 will be PC and Rockstar was stupid enough to delay it.

>>725195474
i can imagine Sony already having GTA6 bundles of the PS5 Pro ready to go, only to read that it keeps getting delay. i wonder if they hiked the price, thinking it wouldn't matter since they got GTA6 bundles

>>725196552
PS5 will still continue to sell bucketloads even without GTA VI.

>>725196971
>PS5 will still continue to sell

>>725196971
>PS5 will still continue to sell

>>725196971
It's down 40-60% YoY in every country we have data for

>>725197304
down 46% year on year in july, BEFORE the price hike

>>725196971
Sony REALLY needed GTA6 early to try and curb Switch 2 sales. Now, if GTA6 comes to Switch 2, Sony might as well say 'fuck it' and release their PS6 and handheld console early because they aren't going to satisfy PS5 owners anyway.

>>725197304

There's no way the PS5 catches up to the PS4 now, right?

>>725197401
anyone know how they did in september after the price hike?

>>725198006
The funny thing is, the amount of ps5s actually IN japan is probably half that

>>725198006
>Woliverine
>Kingdom Hearts IV
>Dragon Quest 12
>GTA VI
>Resident Evil Requiem

PS5 definitely has another 5-7 million sales in Japan at the very minimum

If my prediction is right, we should get the next 3D Mario and 3D Zelda games the same year their movies drop. Though Mario 2 seems to leaning so hard into Galaxy nostalgia, they might not actually line up but I'm 100% sure Zelda will. If Nintendo plays their cards right, their movie division could seriously boost both hardware and game sales. I just don't see how Sony's supposed to compete with that.

>>725198006
its so funny that MH Wilds didn't move the needle for the PS5
a fucking monster hunter game didn't boost it's sales, if anything, the PS5 prevented MH Wilds from selling a million copies over there

KEK

>>725198752
If you buy a ps5 from another asian region (such as japan) in a grey market like hong kong, you can buy other imported grey market games and play them on that ps5, which you wouldn't be able to on a chinese mainland ps5. Additionally, the yen conversion rate meant that scalpers could sell them WAY under the standard price of a ps5 in china and still make massive profit margins.

>>725198752
it comes with a hundred copy of spider-man 2

>>725199068
>The game is so shit no one wants to buy it

This only happens to Sony's games.

>>725198291
Im just sayin'
If they developed with the Switch 2 as the leading platform the game might have been perfectly playable, would have been huge Switch 2 launch title and maybe they wouldn't have put so much focus on the fucking story.

Rise 2 can't come soon enough.

Imagine being itchy nose, called in to the ceo office after wilds did so embarrassingly bad in Japan, and especially after its legs were astrobot levels of bad, being told you have infinite budget and resources to make sure portable 6th recaptures the Japanese audience.

>>725199171
Them buying into the modern dev pitfall of extreme render bloat that makes it run poorly on their target platform and unplayable on the average PC was baffling. Whoever thought that was the right move should be thrown off a building.

>>725199068
reminder that each bundled copy of spider-man 2 cost sony 50% of the profits of their bundle sales

>>725199314
>First MH to fall below 1 mil since 3U all the way back in 2011
Jesus Christ

>>725199345
Even if you go by 35%, that's $122.50 each. For a game they're making $0 of revenue on because they're giving it away. They would need more than 2 copies sold digitally at full price (after disney's cut) per bundle sold just to dig themselves out of the hole and reach a break even point. Not even beginning to carve themselves out of the $300 million development budget, NOT INCLUDING MARKETING.

>>725200116

>>725200116
>>725200458
Notice how their marketing never includes any of the actual gameplay.

>>725199925
Meanwhile Pokemon Legends ZA cost $13,000,000 and is on its way to 15,000,000 sales.

>>725200414
>probably
The first one was already drastically overrated, horrendous, barely interactive gameplay held together by being fun to dick around in, when it would let you, and a pretty good story as far as capeshit is concerned. The second was even more on rails and handholdy with a story full of everything people hate about modern capeshit.

>>725200530
I'm starting to think the marketing team is ashamed of being a video game company

>>725200532
And is better than anyone believed it would be.

>>725200458
That is pretty cool to be fair

Some notable points for this week
>Switch 2 sells 10 million units to customers, remains the fastest selling console of all time
>GoY's legs fall off and it joins the rest of the sub-1 mill sony games
>GTA6 CUKED and FUCKED so hard by strikes that it gets delayed an entire year
>Dong expands 175%
>PS5 back down to 4 digit sales

>>725200772

>>725200703
Eh, I still think it's a shit game, but not for the reason retarded npcs bitch about. I never had any delusions about it not selling like fucking hotcakes though.

Anyone else feels that Nintendo is playing it too safe?

Yes, we will get a new Zelda, a new Mario Golf game,a new Kirby game, a new Splatoon etc

But I want new IP's, I want more innuvashion, I want better and more fun games, I don't want more rehashes, don't give a fuck if Nintendo Shitch 2 is selling like hotcakes if they release hot garbage like Pokémon Legends Z-A, I want Nintendo to struggle, I want them to face difficulties and hardships because that's when they release better games

An comfortable and arrogant Nintendo is bad for the industry

Just look at Sony

Nintendo needs to do pretty bad so we can have better games

Nintendo needs to almost die for the greater good.

>>725200772
it's cool but it ain't selling games

people trying to make it sound "strange" but then you hear Sakurai actually doing that when reading manga

>>725201180
Nah. Sony needs to correct course and remember what made their gaming division successful in the first place. Western AAA might as well be dead at this point. A Nintendo vs. chinkshit industry would be worse than Nintendo vs. a mixed Japanese/Western Sony vs. chinkshit.

>>725202464

>>725202779
They'll keep riding on the cope that Nintendo is sending tens of millions of systems that won't sell to stores to inflate their numbers despite that not being how retail logistics works.

>>725200532
And Scarlet/Violet cost about as much. Imagine being able to transmute copper into gold with multiple different titles.

You call a overturned truck as an ad for a game cool? I call it a bad omen

>"Hey, remember when the ps2 was selling less than 2 million a year and then it randomly jumped up to 5 million that one year the ds was getting close and despite that massive jump, never sold more than 100k again? Actually, we miscounted this whole time. It was 10 million all along. This has nothing to do with the switch passing 150 million. We just waited to correct this 'mistake' until now by sheer coincidence."

>"Hey, remember how we said that? Actually, in the span of a single year, we sold every single ps2 ever manufactured. There were zero ps2s damaged, lost, or stolen during shipment from our factories to our distributors. There were zero ps2s damaged, lost, or stolen during shipment from our distributors to retailers. Every single demo unit that was ever shipped out to be used as a demo kiosk in some middle of nowhere walmart? Eventually repackaged and sold. Not a single ps2 unit on earth remained in storage or unsold during that single year. Not one fell off a pallet jack behind some shelf somewhere. Ever. In the entire history of the console's existence. Additionally, we never replaced a single defective unit that was under warranty with a new system. Despite the ps2's failure rate approaching red rings of death level if you include the laser, the slim model's was still rather high even without it. Every single ps2 manufactured ever was sold. This sounds like a perfectly reasonable and not logistically and statistically impossible claim to us, so we hope you'll believe it too."

There are people who not only believe this, but stake a huge portion of their identity on this. Let that really sink in for a moment.

it won't matter

>>725202432
Sony fanboys in general are in shambles. They now fear the possibility of GTA 6 coming to NS2 day 1 and honestly I think that's gonna completely kill Playstation. PS4 completely stopped selling when PS5 came out and NS1 helped with that too but NS2 with third party support? It'll really hamper PS6 big time in my opinion

>>725204338
Can't wait for the "just find me 11,780 more PS2s"

>>725193502
>Majogami didn't chart at all
welp, here goes any chance of real physical releases from third parties on Switch 2, especially after they stop making Switch 1 games so the Switch 2 Edition cope won't even be possible anymore.

>>725204338
Don't forget how many PS2s were gutted and resold as Sony DVD players, but still counted as new PS2 sales.

>>725204338
I've seen an estimate that 1.5% of any consoles manufactured don't make it to retail. Could be manufacturing defects, could be damage caused during transportation from the factory to the distributor or from the distributor to retailers, could be lost, could be stolen. All causes combined, 1.5% on average.

If that statistic is at all accurate, the odds of them manufacturing, distributing, and shipping 1 million ps2s without a single one being damaged, lost, stolen, etc would be zero point [six thousand, five hundred and sixty-four zeroes] one seven percent.

>>725203396
Still wild that Nintendo stomped out the scalper problem and increased sales by just making more consoles

>>725205263
It wouldn't just break this board, it'd break the gaming internet in general. NS1 basically killed PS4 and the sales completely stopped when PS5 came out, I can't imagine what NS2 with third party support, exclusives and GTA 6 day 1 would do to PS6.

Lol in his latest video nintendeen is begging his cult to like and hype the video

>>725202851
Nintendo haters want to hear what they want to hear. If their favorite grifter tells them the switch 2 is selling worse than any other console they'll blindly believe it even though it's obviously not true

Someone should edit this gif to include Yamauchi. Maybe even Gunpei Yokoi too.

>>725206707
Brand new Smash, Pikmin, and Splatoon. Would also be cool if F-Zero got a full new entry, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

>>725206707
Air Riders. I'm not really interested in AoI (I thought AoC was a downgrade to HW), and I never played a Metroid Prime game.

>>725198218
this is definitely going to happen, their entire strategy is to use other forms of entertainment to incite people to buy their console and games

it'll never cease to amaze me that journos have now unanimously decided exclusives were a thing of the past when nintendo's strategy is entirely focused on it and far healthier than the alternative, it's almost as if game journalism was just a branch of sony's marketing division

>>725207302
>Would also be cool if F-Zero got a full new entry, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
Nintendo Software Technology might get another crack at it since they did such a good job
maybe a F-zero X99

>>725207176
Seriously though. Using gyro aim and the hardware improvements to allow going on. Hopefully they do a test case by putting the original on the online library and it gets enough interest to push for something new.

>>725206963
but

>>725206707
Other than the ones that are guaranteed to get another entry like Zelda and Animal Crossing? F-Zero for sure, especially now that Air Riders debunked the whole "Nintendo only cares about Mario Kart".

If you asked me a few months ago I'd said DK tho. I'm so happy we got Bananza, man.

>>725207843
crossing my fingers, don't let this shit die nintendo. you need a real time strategy game, this is it

>>725207173

Boy, if it gets delayed Nintendo will sweep the whole year.

I genuinely thought Advance Wars and Battalion Wars were the same series. Having seen footage of the latter, a new Battalion Wars would be a sleeper hit.
>>725207302
>>725207743
The Fast seems to be the successor to the F-Zero, though obviously without the charm of Captain Falcon. Still worth checking out.

Cool with the conspiracies there, bud. Just a coincidence.

>>725207173

I

>>725205767
It's crazy in retrospect. It was almost hard to notice in the moment how relatively smoothly availability went for the launch and following months, because being able to find a console to buy SHOULD just be a totally normal thing. I remember scalpers at every single system launch, to the point that THAT was what had become normal, and it just didn't happen here.

>>725206707
Not a Nintendo IP but I always prefer the portable MH games.

With all the money they're pouring into it, a Switch 2 version might be inevitable just to justify its costs.

Do we actually know how much the game cost to make?

>>725208667
The losing competition

>>725208631
suck

>>725208856
According to insiders, GTAVI's budget has well passed the billion dollar mark and may even reach $2 billion, though this is likely including marketing. Still insane.

>>725208963
me

>>725208856
1-2 billion. 1 billion is confirmed but the rest is still up in the air. Though I wonder what in the world they're doing for the game to cost that much beyond producers and directors buying expensive sports cars and having useless expensive business lunches written off as important for game development

>>725209046
dry

>>725209080
it's a massive staffed game, and it already restarted development at least once if i remember from the leaks

>>725208856
At least one (1) billion (B) (Billion) (1x10^9) (1,000,000,000) dollars ($)

>>725209196
so

>>725209294
hard

>>725209343
I

>>725209263
What would the reaction be if they had to restart it again in the future.

>>725208985
I don't think that's including marketing

>>725207743
F-Zero 99 was great.
Fuck all those faggots who trashed it before they even played it.

>>725208985
yeah but the game is also going to be a giant hit, gta5 sold 150 million copies

>>725209429
i mean, the same as the delays i would guess. rumor is, they're already changing some of the parts of the game's story due to current political climate.

>>725209463
*at $5 each
**because each $5 copy came with a shark card that would cost $20 on their cash shop

>>725209562
>>725209571

>>725208985
Why would a game like GTA even need marketing? Everyone and their dad and their granddad has already played the series.

>>725198050
"double-digit year-on-year percentage decline"

>>725209837
>it's so bad, he just won't even say it outright
DAMN

>>725209434
For the first billion, you're right. It's the second billion that makes me believe that's where the marketing costs come in.
>>725209463
The game's going to be big, but they could've secured a higher profit margin if the budget were more under control. Even at a $500M budget, GTAVI would be profitable, release within a reasonable time, and likely not suffer from development bloat. Something we're clearly seeing with its current development.
>>725209630

Wild.

>>725199068
My favourite part was that even though fags on retardera vehemently denied Japanese PS5 being scalped to China, they made a thread about those unwanted Japanese Spider-Man 2 codes from the bundles and were buying them because they were cheap

>>725209835
But is everyone and their dad and their grandad willing to spend $100 on a new GTA? This is what marketing is suppose to do: convince the consumer to buy something at full price and create enough buzz to sell it to someone else. Also, gaming has gone international. Foreign markets are now the new draw.

>>725209998
I'm saying I don't think it includes marketing because they haven't started the marketing push yet and because the game has been in development for a while with a shit ton of devs

>>725209837
>Every other console (including Switch 1) down double-digits
>Switch 2 alone makes up the difference with an additional 24% on top

>>725194421
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll unearth 500 million more as-of-yet uncounted PS2 sales from some third world shithole to prevent that from happening.

>>725194421
>if the Switch manages to beat the PS2?
It already did multiple times, I will remind you the original final numbers for the PS2 were 140m.

Will we go back to calling every console a Nintendo and it being true this time?

>>725209835
>Why would a game like GTA even need marketing?
Because a new one hasn't come out in 15 years

>>725210404
>I'm saying I don't think it includes marketing because they haven't started the marketing push yet
That doesn't mean they haven't been spending money on marketing "consultants" and other people whose job it is to work out what the marketing push is going to be and how it's going to happen
This is a game that was supposed to be out already, every time they delay it more marketing work has to be done on current trends and shifting audiences and other bullshit. It's a constant drain the longer the game takes to come out like every other part of development.

>>725209619
I wonder if one of the things they had would skirt dangerously close to some of the recent happenings this year.

>>725210102
my

>>725202897
>They'll keep riding on the cope that Nintendo is sending tens of millions of systems that won't sell to stores to inflate their numbers despite that not being how retail logistics works.

Yeah I remember in Europe the WiiU had a negative (-10k) quarter before it reached 5million worldwide. There's literally no way Nintendo could ship Switch 2s at the volume they have unless they were selling incredibly quick because retailers won't order more if they aren't selling what they have.

Nintendo's in their own market. The CONSOLE market.
>>725210404
Technically, marketing started a while ago. Fully-rendered trailers, press junkets, interviews. All of these, though seemingly small, require professionals and professionals expect to be paid well. You're right that the full force of marketing hasn't started yet, but it has started. Heck, the message declaring the delay is a part of marketing in the form of damage control.
>>725210565
Hopefully not. Nintendo doesn't want an monopoly despite being the worst company of all humanity (Source: Nintendeen viewers)

There's no way Sony could just manipulate the sales numbers by 20 million and get away with it. What's stopping them from just changing it to 200 million? That would be an unbreakable record for sure.

>>725199816
These things are pretty great for Switch and reading on my phone in bed.

>>725211047
It's possible someone from rockstar is giving info to journos. We knew months before that rockstar was going to delay GTA6 again in november

>>725211047
But they haven't denied it either. Course, they may be using the $100 price tag rumor as marketing, so that way, when they announce an $80 or even $90 price tag, buyers will go
>"Hey! At least, it's not $100! I'll buy it! May even grab the Super Mega Deluxe version so I can get the game three days early and a FREE Shark Card™"

>>725211412
NANI?!?

>>725202897
It's especially stupid when it's the retailers who are ordering more units. Why would they actively choose (in this retarded scenario) to lose money on that doesn't sell? They have no stake in propping Nintendo up.
>>725203103
Not 20 million, but Nintendo did overship Wii U in Europe to the point one quarter had negative shipments because retailers were sending them back.

>>725211456
>We knew months before that rockstar was going to delay GTA6 again in november
‘Member when the usual suspect claimed this was just desperate Nintendo fans coping and spreading lies? And now he’s doing it again after Rockstar employees that were dismissed said there will likely be delays to 2027 and beyond.

Somebody post the tweet comparing Nintendo's space at retailers with the other guys.

>>725211047
This is called manufacturing consent, journos and other industry shills wouldn't be pushing the idea if it wasn't something Rockstar wanted to happen and needed pre-justification.

>>725211894

Yeah, thats mine pretty much.

>>725212493
That's the one

>>725212493
that's a fat boo plushie, i might buy one

>>725212493
Switch 1 alone probably gives retail stores as much business as PS5 since most PS5 owners just play live service shit.

>>725211225
He's undercranking it a bit. Really it probably ended around 148 million, it was still selling a couple hundred thousand a year, when the PS3(and 360) had launched and PS2 sales dropped significantly and then when the DS started getting close that's when it suddenly started jumping by millions late in the 00s/10s.
And then all of a sudden a decade after they stopped making PS2s it jumped again to 160 when the Switch got too close.
So is the 155/156/160M number suspect? Yes. But not by something as obscene as 20 million.

Really it's probably more they just did it because nobody would care otherwise, it's not going to affect the perceived value of Sony as far as stock goes in 2024, 2025, etc. The only thing them having that alleged record does is to feed the egos of the usual suspects. Otherwise the real state of things is that PS5 has hit its ceiling, and its best performing games send 70% of their revenue to Epic or Microsoft, and that their "exclusive" buying audience is so anemic they're now pretty much building a PC storefront if that crossbuy thing is anything to go off of.

>>725213071
The PS5 is expected to hit 125m sold by 2027 though

>>725212493
And of course snoys are coping under this tweet

>>725213234
The last one is probably right though

>>725213327
no, the shelf space is based on the store's inventory and what sells
target bought a load of switch 2, and they make space for it.

>>725213327

What, space is purchased? No, its at the whim of a store manager.

>>725213531
Now read the rest of his comment

>>725213598
and? thats not how stores work. nintendo could pay for ads in a catalogue sure, but the shelf space is per store, base on what sells. each store has different clearance items for this reason

>>725213752
You just ignored the rest of the comment where he talks about the different audience demands and fulfillment methods

>>725213234
The hysterical amounts of cope almost make me feel bad for snoys.
Almost, because then I remember all the bullshit they did over the years and realize they deserve every second of it.

>>725213830

Yes but depending on how most of a specific console are purchased, they will accommodate accordingly.

this fucking game has been in development since the ps3, how the shit is it not done yet?

>>725218959
Which leaves the possibility they could launch the game in a less-than-ideal state... or force another delay. Rockstar isndefinitely running low on good will if the always-whining fans online are any indication (they'll likely just say oh well when the game finally does launch). But they're definitely walking a tightrope, one that rhe whole industry is subject to the consequences of.

>Nintendo's in their own market. The CONSOLE market.
At risk of sounding like a huge fanboy: Nintendo is the console market, period. Now that they have a machine strong enough to be getting AAA games released at the same date as the other platforms, it's only a matter of time for other third party companies to follow suit. It wouldn't surprise me to see a Pragmata port less than a year after its release.

They were still coming off of one of their worst years ever (2016) and the Metroid fanbase, in particular, was burned to the ground with zero good will remaining due to the disastrously timed launch of Metroid Prime: Federation Force, the only thing that they had for sure was the announcement of Metroid Dread, which, while a big deal, is still a 2D entry and thus "automatically" smaller for some fans, they kind of had their hands tied there, and the Metroid Prime 4 logo was enough to "win" them that E3, as well as restart some good will from that fanbase.

It being completely restarted from scratch and changing developers was also not on their plans.

Goddamn.
>>725220358
Yup.

>>725220406
i don't know how long ago that was anon.
It wasn't up yet when I woke up at 11am though.

>>725220482
it's so fucking bullshit

>>725220683
>i don't know how long ago that was anon.
About 2 hours and a half ago.

>>725207135
The Switch 2 derangement syndrome is wearing off. By next year the last of them will have joined the "bought it anyway" camp.

>>725220352
SA fixed ton of issues with 3/VC gameplay, what you talking about?

It's jank for modern standards but still perfectly playable.

>>725220139
50 percent of Nintendo's annual revenue is December.
It will be a bloodbath

>the wheelie scooter is still disgustingly strong
FUCK

>>725220445
>they had for sure was the announcement of Metroid Dread,
No anon.
This was 2017.
Dread would not be for years.
It was Samus Returns. The 3ds remake of Metroid2.
Which had its own issues with AM2R being targeted post release.
But yuh they kinda had to reveal Prime4 and Bayo3 super early to drive early sales.

>>725202897
I remember when that was an active cope in these threads for how the Switch 1 was doing well. Right up there with Nintendo falsifying numbers by owning Famitsu (Sony owns a larger stake) or using their yakuza connections to control the Japanese government.

>>725220352
I still think all the GTA games on PS2 were overrated junk, and I'm not saying that because I'm a zoomer. That's honestly how I felt playing them as a kid. Midnight Club was Rockstar's real gem on the PS2 and I never got why they killed the series.

>>725204207
Alright which one of you bought enough stock to ask this question?

>his OC is literally just Temu Wario
How do people get away with this shit

So, what is the plan now?

GTA got delayed and is uncomfortably close to PS6 release, and if R* announces port then shit going tip towards nintendo platforms hard.

>>725219778
if you're going to make fun of India then don't play GTA 6

>>725222963
Sony should delay the PS6 a full year.

>>725221465
Rude.
So rude

>>725222524
>>725222697
lmao.
Great.
TYVM.

How will AoI sell compared to the other two Zelda musou?

>>725222524
Sometimes, /v/ makes good content.
>>725222697
And good job on this one. It looks like he's gone laughing mad.

>>725222963
Plan for Nintendo? Winning the console wars and killing Playstation
Plan for Sony? Make more woke flops

>>725194421
It's a bit dishonest to compare a DVD player with a real gaming console

>>725223563
It being Switch2 only will have it be a bit lower atm, but in the longer term it'll match or surpass AoC I think. It's pretty solid so far.

>>725218710
This is nothing but imaginary money talk and none of this will matter until the final product is finally released and the actual hard numbers of how much development and marketing costed are revealed. The only solid fact we know so far is that the game development has gone past the 1 billion mark and there's no way the game will be profitable enough to cover such gigantic cost.

All for a game that's being developed to run on an Xbox Series S.

>>725223241
If rumors about about portable are true then they are uber fucked because they can't fudge data with PS4/5 games. I mean, completely different architecture and devs aren't going bother with that shit.

>>725222697
Lol I like to see you do an edit of him doing the "D'OH I missed!" face from mario party 1

>>725223702
Age of calamity is the highest selling musou of all time, so I think it hitting that metric is unrealistic, especially with it eating up some good will, and the fact that it's now the 4th game set in botw era.

>>725223634
>Make more antiwhite flops
you fags know better by now.

>>725221103
>Can just do near instant 180-degree turns when braking
Holy shit I don't remember it turning this sharply in the OG

>>725223895
What good will did it eat up exactly?
And I'm aware that AoC is the best selling musou, but AoI has the early Switch2 bonus to sell tons of units.
Plus it's still solid gameplay wise. Even if it doesn't pass it'll get damned close.

>>725224250
Because we didnt need a fucking fourth BOTW game. Make Hydule Warriors 2 instead you fucks.

>>725224250
The terminally online seem to think being a Wilds game is toxic instead of literally the selling point for most people.

>>725223848
T2s biggest mistake was supporting Xbox honestly, no way they would have known that shit would died but they should have made smarter choices still. Nintendo beat the shit out of Playstation with exclusives alone so it's still bizarre behavior from these companies. It's like they make the dumbest choices every time

>>725222963
>GTA 6 is delayed to 2026 and will probably get delayed to 2027
>The big GaaS push they had with the likes of Concord and Marathon is dead
>The F2P game they rely on like Genshin have reclined hard or are "Roblox lmao" with their controversies
>The big Japanese 3rd parties like Capcom and Square are done with Sony
What's next?

>>725224357
I asked for a 4th BotW game.
So you can just stay mad about it.
I quite like this Link and Zelda.
Both are good characters. Plus the champions and sages are great as well.
I am perfectly fine with the next mainline moving on though.
You whiny losers need to accept you are an extreme minority.

>>725224602
They probably thought the Series X would do better, but in their defense, it is cheap to port between Series X and PS5

>>725224602
PSbox would make sense if still had original release date, I mean, OG switch can't handle it and both consoles were doing okay.

>>725219986
I remember seeing the comparisons as well, I'm not if they're deluding themselves or if a lot of them are just zoomers who don't actually know why the Xbone was such a shitshow. As if being overpriced or a EULA change that was largely in line with what the rest of the industry already had is at all comparable with forcing Kinect and making physical game licenses non-transferable.

Funny enough I think that particular Xbone shitshow was recoverable, but then they went into E3 with just TV TV TV KINECT KINECT KINECT and put out a nogaems machine. Same with the Series consoles, Xbone didn't have to be the death of Xbox, but MS gave up and let it happen.

>>725224848
Capcom situation is ridiculous funny, it's quite obvious that RE stuff was done at last moment possible to recover from Monhun fiasco.

You don't hear any buzz about pragmata either.

>>725224602
T2s biggest mistake was taking over an entire console generation to release one single fucking sandbox game just because they needed to make us notice a woman's hyper detailed pubes in the middle of photogenic environments. During that whole time, Nintendo released several 10 million sellers, including two open world Zelda games. T2 has no fucking excuse whatsoever and people need to stop defending that pathetic excuse of a company only because they were a good consistent developer 2 decades ago.

>>725221310
Only SA was "decent" and even then it was hard carried by being a glorified dating+crime simulator with a fuckton of minigames and not the actual story or main questline.

>>725224848
>What's next?
Without GTA 6 PS5 loses momentum even harder which leads to increased NS2 HW sales which leads to more record breaking sales so all the third parties have to kneel to the new king

>>725224848
It's still so funny how we could enter an era where the Big 3 console war ends in Nintendo's favor with Sony and Microsoft going back to being third party developers. Where do we go from there?

>>725224250
Age of calamity was pretty bad, especially the dlc

>>725208689
I'm not a particularly big fan of Mother but if it looked like your pic I'd play the shit out of it, whether RPG or open world action
I'm a giant slut for anything with a tilt shift lens/aesthetic

>>725219986
It's funny how much shit people flipped at $450 in 2025. They were acting like it was the PS3's $600 in 2006. It's no wonder the jews get away with devaluing our currency when people can't see the value plummeting every day.

>>725225756
The switch 2 can’t even play borderlands 4 or Elden ring though.

>>725225756
The ps5 will be doing just fine if not better for the time being. Ram and storage prices are skyrocketing on top of the already astronomical gpu price surge which hasn’t dwindled at all.

>he woke up once again
hello nigger spic
10 million sold btw.

>>725212493
ONE SHELF
I DON'T KNOW WHY

>>725219767
>Historical data reveals that PlayStation 2 console shipments are actually between 158.6 - 161.8 million
>therefore they will treat them as 161.8 million PS2 consoles SOLD

They're so fucking shameless it's unbelievable.

>>725226242
Yeah and 80 some percent of the buyers were from the switch 1. That means it’s super front loaded from the established manchild user base. That means it might not maintain momentum

>>725226036
>delaying the game so they can have more time to optimize =/= switch 2 can't run the game

>>725226437
No they just say over 160.0m

>>725226541
Nice, glad we are getting some OC out of this

>>725226457
>super front loaded
>YOU ONLY HAVE A POSSIBLE POOL OF 150 MILLION BUYERS, IT'S FRONT LOADED CHUD!
>might
Always with the hypotheticals.

>>725226487
Excuses excuses, your port of er got delayed just like gta 6 got delayed. Waiting is waiting

>>725226437
you just know that without that one museum piece to commemorate the very last PS2 manufactured, they would have already raised it to 165m and beyond

>>725226591
So you're saying the PS5 can't run GTA6? Yeesh, that's a pretty bad look. Can't run the only game that's relevant.

>>725226579
That doesn’t mean 150m switch 2s will sell. Nintendo sells on novelty for a lot of people. There is always going to be a not insignificant amount of adopters regardless, this time obviously being substantially more than the Wii U, but maybe more in the realm of the 3ds or so.

>>725226036
bold words for someone that had GTA 6 delayed yesterday once again

>>725226649
It can run Elden Ring though. What does that say about the console that can’t run either, the Shitch poo?

>>725226683
So... Does it sell on novelty and tries blue ocean or is it front loaded and converting old buyers? Pick one, you can't have both.

>>725226754
>What does that say about the console that can’t run either, the Switch 2?
That it's got games that aren't multiplat for one. Imagine having to rely on third party bailouts!

>>725226695
Yeah, not very different from Nintendos delayed games

>>725226683
>Nintendo sells on novelty for a lot of people
We're 8 years into the Switch 1's release, the console left novelty status a long time ago and people are buying the Switch 2 because they know that the console will have guaranteed exclusives from their wide array of first party franchises.

>>725226683
16% of the 10 million switch 2 sales are from people that didn't own a switch 1

>>725226773
It sells on novelty, which most people have already felt with the 1, the frontloaded sales are from the fanboys from the 1, normies aren’t buying it

>>725226835
It’s got exclusives that other platform players don’t care about maybe. But it doesn’t have what they want ultimately so they don’t matter.

>>725226884
Tiny percentage.

>>725226941
>self-contradictory statement
can't sell on novelty if it's an iterative platform catering to old customers.
try again lad

>>725226793
It's funny that he's clinging onto this. Like no shit most Switch 2 earlier adopters also bought the best selling console of all time. Most PS360 owners probably had a PS2 also. If anything, he should be worried that a double digit percentage of buyers at this early stage are people who skipped Switch 1.

>>725226591
No one said the PS5 couldnt run GTA6, we laughed because you desperately want that game to release soon so it can "save" the barrierstation. There's a difference

>>725227025
It doesn’t need it. Skyrocketing ram and storage prices are going to help the ps5 do just fine. It has plenty of multiplats too that the shitch poo can’t run

>>725226941
If normies had Switch 1s and most sales are going to Switch 1 owners that kind of negates your point. You don't get all time high record sales without normie appeal.

>>725227005
>other platform players don’t care about maybe

>>725226850

>>725227103
I don’t care why they get delayed. You can’t play Elden Ring or borderlands 4. Period.

The seething will be nuclear

>>725227618
Aw poor little snoy has to rely on knock offs because nintendo is never going to give them real games on their barrierstation

>>725227653
b-b-b-but there's realistic finger gunk physics on the stripper poles!

>>725227531
More and more people will be priced out of PCs that can play games the much more affordable Ps5 can. Right before the holiday season

>>725227653
Some leaker said it's costing them 10 million per month, so 60 million total for the delay. But it could lead to a softer launch now because gen 10 Pokemon is next year and not many people wants to buy a console that's just about to die instead of just getting the hot new console that's getting all the exclusives.

>completed the air riders tutorial
LET ME RACE
LET

RACEEEEEEE
AAAAAGHGHHHHHH
I NEED INNNNN

>>725227830
If they want something affordable why not buy a Switch 1/2 or a Series S?

>>725227830
>More and more people will be priced out of PCs that can play games the much more affordable Ps5 can. Right before the holiday season

Anyone who buys a Playstation now is a retard desu. Imagine paying more just because Sony does dynamic pricing

>>725227830
>they will buy a dead system with no games over the obvious industry trend with all the exclusives

>>725227951
Because the ps5 is the best console in the world. It has the best platformer of all time, and can actually play every major multiplat on the market. Only 99 more than a series s too

>>725228091
It sold over 80m without games supposedly. That’s not a problem

>>725228143
so why is it selling less than the PS4?

>>725228143
It doesn't have Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, so how can it have the best platformer?

>>725228143
It doesn't have super mario world 2, yoshi's island, the best platformer in the world. It has a faggy troon funkobot game made for toddlers though.

>>725228213
Astro bot mogs the shit out of those games so hard.

>>725228212
It’s expected to sell 125m lifetime.

>>725227976
the fuck is this pic from?

>>725228020
no idea wtfh playstation stars are...but the idea isn't abhorrent as an idea.
If you have loyal customers who buy a lot of games AND play them to completion then gifting them modest discounts on your online shop is an...intriguing...though debatable practice.
Selling 5 games at 20% off will net you more more than one game at 100%. plus them playing 5 games means WoM recommendations/spreading to get other to buy.
Obviously it sucks if you don't get included...but there's a solid idea in there.

>>725228274
Nobody even remembers it

>>725228143
It's not even the best platformer released on a Sony console haha

>>725228198

That's a good point, it sold four times as much as the Wii U but Nintendo didn't give up.

>>725229385
You can only grift so far if all you're saying is blatant cope and/or lies. If you can't give actual criticism; the normies will catch on to your other bullshit as well.

Compared to the toddler toys they've been selling, I wouldn't mind having that pillow.

Unironically no, any game people would want to play on a PS2 is third party, thus cannot be licensed to put on the bloody thing.
>Bro just put the roms yourself.
That's the thing, that's beyond the average current snoy user.
It doesn't help running PS2 games is basically the great filter of chink handhelds, PS1 is piss easy, even N64 is doable even by extremely cheapo handhelds less than 60 bucks, but PS2? Have fun spending like 500 bucks minimum for a chinkheld that can run PS2 games comfortably.

>>725231117
I play PS2 games on my Lenovo Legion Go.

you now realize people bought a ps3 to play gta 5 and 6
and a ps4 for gta 6
and likely a ps4 pro
and a ps5 after the price hike to avoid further tariff price hikes
and they still can't play gta 6
imagine being that guy

>>725231117
>thus cannot be licensed to put on the bloody thing.
I mean they could.
It'd just cost them a good amount and make the whole project moot.
So no a ps2 mini/micro won't turn the company around.
They devs aren't even capable of smaller modest titles after 15 years of hyper realistic garbage.
Sony is fucked.

>>725231392
which is funny because a ps6 being a handheld means they run headfirst crashing into this problem either way
except this time they have no AA and single A JP devs making games like dungeon travelers to get the niche otaku audience so then those people tell their normalfag acquaintances to buy it

What do you think about Nintendo being the only Big 3 developer who's capable of developing both modest and large scale titles?

>>725228276
>the fuck is this pic from?
Pokémon Channel probably.

>>725231620
The other 2 can develop modest games (if they're good or not is another issue) but their audience doesn't want them

I would love some kind of alternate reality where sony was able to make another psp, or a vita that didn't suck, they obviously don't have the means to but that would be pretty cool

>>725231620
Nintendo makes the best games period. Under the surface Sony is currently suffering from a lot of the same problems that started the Xbox death spiral

>>725231620
Skill issue. Microsoft and Sony could have done the same but they teached their fans to only expect AAAA shit from them.

Games like Gravity Rush or Hi-Fi Rush could've been successful on the Switch.

>>725232207
As someone who bought a PSP in like 2018 it's one of the best pieces of tech I've ever seen relative to its time and price point. Sony truly fucked up by not giving the Vita a proper chance to carry on its legacy.
