Sony is focusing on Hard-Core Gamers for PS5

I just posted my concern based on what others are saying on the internet, I am not just making this up. Maybe you are right will wait and see. People are saying the opposite and saying its more than just Visual Story games etc.

Also Don doesn't live with me, he has no idea what I own and not owned. I shrug it off and laugh as I find it funny how some people think they know you more then you know yourself. He probably thinks all I have is an Xbox. 

I'm not saying you are making this up. I am saying that your understanding is misinformed. Just because a lot of youtubers are saying the same thing doesn't mean they are right. There are thousands of ppl telling you not to get vaccinations because it will kill you, or give you autism or something. That doesn't make them right. 

Yes, the censorship policy did indeed hit DOA and Senran Kagura in some ways, but these are the outliers to what we know is mainly being censored, VNs. And that would make sense since that is the genre that pushes sexualisation of characters (especially female) are lot more than any other. 

That said, I did indeed take the time to watch the 2 vids you linked.

The 1st covers all the info better than the previous vid you linked. Granted, they still think DMC5 was a censorship issue, when it was most likely not. Their point seems to be that censorship sucks, which is fine. 

the 2nd vid is outdated, considering we now know better what the censorship covers (his vid was well before I believe).

Look, if you want to believe these guys and use them as your source for info, then fine. But we know why Sony is censoring games. We know what the subject matter concerned is. We know that it affects ALL regions. We know that the guidelines have not been pushed onto any AAA with a high selling projection, as of yet. 

And I, like many other ppl on this board, are confident it will have little to no impact on the PS5. why would it? the games that are actually moving consoles and selling well are not trying to sexualise underage looking girls. 

and yes, fair point, Don doesn't know you. 

Unless he was lying in other threads he already confessed to not own a PS4 (can't be sure about PS3 though) and that he played a lot of PS games on friends and relatives house. But have failed to ever show his tag so anyone can check his trophies on the several games he claim to have played a lot to give bad mouth. And you can see that he said I don't know him, not that he have a PS4.

He have claimed to have Xboxes and some Nintendo consoles in the past, but no PS4 and perhaps no PS3. I could also make a bet that he haven't bought a game that haven't released on PS4 due to Sony censorship as that is recent and will affect a few number of VNs as you pointed and from what I remember he isn't a big upholder of japanese games.

So I may not know him, but I know his arguments. Like the one of Halo 5 being the biggest there is because MS gave a very spinned PR including the price of the 500 boxes with the game (hint they never released the total sold games) and claim that it have at least 50% digital attach ratio to inflate the sales of tracked on NPD and others. He will also claim that there is more Xbox Gold subs than PSN+ due to also bad PR from MS spining their total XBL subs (silver included) being marginally higher than PS+ subs (but of course less than half of total PS subs, with also PS+ being about twice as big as Gold). Plus the odd belief that if X1 2.5x more Halo 5 would have sold 2.5x more, which is very easy to see how wrong is (like using the example of Mario Kart 8 on WiiU that sold about 50% attach ratio so if launched on Wii should have sold about 50M), attach ratios aren't constantly kept with increasing userbase, Zelda BotW was outselling Switch total during the first few months and no one would expect BotW2 to have over 100% attach ratio.
