You are transported back in time to 1999 and are placed in a position of highest authority within Sony. How do you make the PS2 actually successful?

Add more video RAM so it can do 480p for every game. That's all.

Oh my fucking God we need to kill the people who make these threads

>>11894960 (OP)
Use Blu-ray instead of DVD, also buy rare and sega

>the highest authority bot thread
They're not even trying to hide it anymore. 4chan actually makes bot threads constantly

>>11894981
I'm not a bot I'm just an asshole

I'll tell them to copy whatever Nintendo did with the GameCube, surefire pathway to success!

>>11894960 (OP)
Give it a RTX 5090, a threadripper and 256 gb of ram, nobody will be able to compete

>>11894981
Anon calm down, it's just an average bait.

I change the design as follows

>CPU: Hitachi SH-4
>Graphics: NEC‑VideoLogic PowerVR CLX2
>System RAM: 26.125 MB
>VGA output
>propietary discs to combat piracy
>MIL-CD support
>PocketStation memory cards which slot into the controller

The PSX2 is now completely fixed.
And to commemorate this new design, I announce that this will be Sony's last console and it will switch to being a software publisher from now on.

OP is just seething over the Gamecube thread.

>>11894960 (OP)
480p is obviously more important than games, despite the fact most people played over composite. Hence we must double or even triple the PS2's VRAM. Next, we need to ship all our games on mini-DVDs. Crucially, we have to make the controller either big & retarded, or simply retarded & retarded with fewer buttons than its predecessor. The most important part is the games: we need to make sure none of the launch titles are appealing, in fact at our conference we need the guy on stage to hype the audience up by telling them "this will be your first look at the next instalment in the Metal Gear series", only for the game to just be Mei Ling's Mansion.

You are transported back in time to some days ago and are placed in a position of highest authority within 4chan. How do you make sure Op never posts here?

Greatest thread in the history of this board.

you fucking brainlet zoomer. bluray wasn't around in 1999, and sony were already involved in its creation. sony buying rare and sega wouldn't have done anything to save either of the companies. rare would have been better as an independent studio and sega had already fucked up their company by releasing the 32x and sega cd, only to then make their janky ass saturn that had no wide appeal.

Improve build quality, particularly with the laser and controller. Improve the composite output. Apart from those the PS2 was fine.

You monster.
You're hired. Welcome to Nintendo.

Call Sega, tell them to save the R&D money and stop the bullshit and to partner with us.
Shaders and further aspect ratio options to deal with both old tvs and new tvs and make PS1 games look better.
Call Microsoft and tell them they can do our internet service from the techical side, Sega will do the service side, and port games to PC and have cross-play online plus shared saves via a USB adapter for memory cards.
Also tell them they can work with us on our handheld which will eventually be like a Steam Deck.
Introduce a new controller after 2 years with motion support to circumvent the Wii.
Video streaming service to circumvent Youtube and Netflix, etc. with rudimentary game streaming.

Give the controller non shit triggers that actually feel like triggers

>>11894960 (OP)
Go with a lid design instead of a tray. Cheaper to make and also solves all the loading tray issues.

That actually loses money for Sony, as they made billions from people buying multiple units of the console after the first one failed on them.

Why this is never brought up as a predatory industry practice by Sony they've been doing for years is puzzling.
