Wtf happened to sony?
they used to be one of the pioneers of of console gaming. Both software and hardware capabilities.

They used to have so many original gaming titles under their belts and were on par with Valve for pushing a good amount of game progress (for consoles obviously)

Nowadays it boiils down to:
-mass censorship
-overpriced underproduced PS5
oh and uh
>ONE GAME!!!! as in ps5 having no original or exclusives enough to justfiy buying it vs an xbox a nintendo console or a PC flat out.

..

They got desperate, that's what happened.

The "console wars" pressured them heavily, but Sony is/was much more than a console gaming company. And, that was/is the problem. As it stands, Sony has tried to heavily leverage its entertainment offerings by repeatedly dumping large sums of cash in expectation that a miracle will occur...

They tried, and failed, to create a captive marketplace with their console. That's where that has broken them in that market. They pushed for exclusivity, but didn't realize that was an old strategy that doesn't play well anymore when gamers have access to a huge assortment of games at their finger-tips. What gains the largest audience, a huge assortment of games that attract a large audience segment, or appealing to Spider-Man fans? (Heck, with record SM2 sales, PS5 customers showed their desperation. The important number is actually new console unit sales, since Sony desperately leverages its exclusive titles for marketing consoles.)


They just suck at competing in the Western marketplace. That's it. All of their failings in producing games and gaining offerings for their console are directly tied to that failure to understand the significance of even the tiniest competitive challenges.

Now, they don't have the capital to leverage their console to create a "competitor product." They didn't know how to create a "home entertainment" system, didn't try to bridge the gap between PC and Console, and got hammered by a company that arguably has a monopoly on PC environments, a gigantic cloud services arm, and a big phat wallet, resources Sony just doesn't have.

It was never a fair fight.

PS: I know this goes one-step-above game offerings and console talk, but those are the results of bigger problems.

I don't think you're right about it being overpriced, for the hardware at least. It's good for the power it has but it has a chance of reliability issues.

Wtf are you talking about, you can't build a PC that performs the same for the price of the PS5. Plus all PS5 exclusives that came on Steam are well recieved.

Didn't they move their console development to the US or something?
I remember people being upset about that years ago for some reason.

Yup,all those years ago I was upset. But that was then, this is now. Pure indifference to Sony now that those games found a home to pc

They got BTFO'd by Micro$oft when Micro$oft realized "console exclusives" weren't making as much money as releasing on EVERYTHING.

But SONY, being a typical Asian boomer-run company, doubled down on stupid and "the old ways" and keeps trying to push people to their "sold at a loss" consoles for some reason thinking it is still the 1990s or early 2000s.

It wasn't until recently that Sony started slowly releasing certain mainline games on PC markets.

Sony is a big company that does many things. Microsoft only does a few things, and they're only in the gaming market to show they can compete. Sony isn't trying to hit breakout with their investments; these are throwaway investments to them, to show they can compete with someone who is only playing catch-up.

Since that's all they're doing exclusives are a benefit.

Sony is Californian now

Sony is releasing more games on PC as a cooperative effort with Microsoft, as their goals for marketing have become mutual. They are after all in the same business of appearing to compete.

Sony pushed people away first making multiplayer games paywalled behind Playstation Plus like Overwatch while still having sold it without that requirement in place long ago. The original Uncharted game had good multiplayer iirc.

God of War was their Mario but only Mario is Mario cause those quicktime cryptic button presses could spoil the game if you werent expecting it or were distracted. Mario always plays the same.

They did well with Horizon Zero Dawn if you managed to read the story tidbits.

But even their Final Fantasy XIV just went a bit too far in presentation and special moves using combo presses for the characters when you knew it would be a long slog.

Also size of the hard drive once you maxed it less inclined to buy more games at least for me.
Could be when their service closes down for PS4 wont be able to download anything that didnt fit.

PS5 was its own debacle and didnt move me one way or the other. As too many consoles competing for space and time, cartridge/disc fed relics that simply need to be unplugged. :cryptocry:

that's a good thing though ...

I've never bought a playstation from retail store.
But I have bought a few sony products. I imagine most people can't justify the cost. They make nice machines though, just too top of the line ends up being very expensive to buy retail.

Can't remember what year Bayonetta won game of the year on PC. But it was many years after it was already on consoles and a sequel was made.

Sony you went wrong, with your PS3
I'll just keep playing my 360
Hoped this song has helped, you understand
Now you know, how you killed your brand
Marcy 2024 年 1 月 14 日 下午 3:10 
Remember Gravity Rush? Patapon? Locoroco? Jak and Daxter? Sly Cooper?

I do.

The only Sony franchise worth it's salt nowadays is God of War.
Enigmatic 2024 年 1 月 14 日 下午 3:11 
anything from naughty dog. There is also kill zone if they still making that.
I remember unraveled being exclusive but now it's on everything.
Grand Tarrismo is also less of a Simcade game and closer to Sim than forza is.

Should have on disk my friend. The Space is for retro games. Sony has been a lot better than nintendo at keeping their online store running.. Nintendo shuts them down, than you can't load up on retro games after the fact. I'd get a refurbished ps4 if i ever felt inclined finally play the last of us, uncharted, maybe try final fantasy. If I can find a guy selling most of that used for cheap. If ps5 gets a MGS exclusive it would really help it. Maybe I'd try God of War if I was ever bored enough. I know it's good, but never was compelled to play it.

Unless you really like final fantasy I can't see someone buying a playstation every generation. Just like I wouldn't buy an xbox just to play halo.

But again Sony keeps their online services running on Ps3 even. So for something like fighting games playstation would beat the PC everytime. It's also easier to setup on a TV when friends are over.
