Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS4 failed in Japan. PS4 become maybe last place in hardware selling. But whats the reason?

I do hope Sony is out of business. Not because of themselves, although I feel their product does not add anything good to the market, and I do not like any of ther exclusive franchises, but because I feel their fans care more about winning console wars than actual gaming.

Luckily I dont think Sony will last too much longer. Even though Ps4 sells well (although it's sales are likely plummeting downward everywhere right now), it already kind of feels like a dead product, with little software sales. The hardware is awesome thanks to the American design, but Sony will slowly but surely screw up the rest of it.

Well, even IF Sony did go out business, the PlayStation brand would just be bought by someone else. And I really really doubt that whoever byes it, would change the modus operandi that has been working for Sony so far. So..

Congragulations, you are entitled to your opinion regardless of how utterely disgusting it is.

The blantant hypocrisy of this paragraph, I don't even care if its trolling or not, someone who actually cared about gaming wouldn't be so bigoted and inflammatory.

At least those who share your twisted sentiments have the fucking decency to mask it behind numbers and facts.

Pathetic.

This is the kind of attitude that is destroying the community.

If you want to flamebait, do it somewhere else.

I dont appreciate the obvious inference.  How about you calm down?

I dont want any company to go bust, I dont want any company to leave gaming.  I want more companies to come into gaming, to shake it up.

If you could actually read my threads and posts without your angry and defensive head on you would see that I have been pretty much right the last 5 years on this forum.  Sony simnply needed to jetison some consumer electronics and they would be fine.  Now they have stopped being in denial and are doing this and they may well be fine. 

Playstation can sit nicely along side the other profitable divisions and it will be to the betterment of the Game division.  Its a very strange thing to do, to look to look at my view of Sony Corp and assume thats me hating on Playstation.  If what I have said for years came true then Playstation would be stronger!!  I'm some hater then arent I... so "twised".

You might want to try looking elsewhere... never seen a rant like this from you when the numerous and frequent posts (even threads) about "m$ must leave gaming" are put up here.

What was that about hypocrisy?

Peace, my child.

You claim the implication is obvious and yet you say you don't want the any company to leave gaming, therefore you yourself don't share in those sentiments, and it does not apply to you. The solution is simple, don't identify with it.

My response was not toward whether or not Sony should leave gaming, something I've never been concerned with on any platform. My issue was that his response was designed to be flamebait completly downplaying Sony and Playstation's contributions and hoping that the company fails. Any poster who would do the same has gotten it in equal spades from me. Ask Stage, Ask Zero. I might be many things, but I'm not a hypocrite. I've at the very least been implied to be a fanboy of each of the big 3, suprisingly not a PC elitist, yet because I haven't been on PC recently, but I'm sure someone will eventually.

I understand the mentality, but I think its simply insecurity to focus on the weakness of competition rather than the team you support.

Besides, I prefaced with " you are entitled to your opinion", aren't I allowed to make my own opiniated judgement about his claim?

EDIT: If you look above me you can already see another instance to those I was referring to on this very page.

The Japanese know something that we don't and therefor do not buy a product that will be discontinued in the near future due to bankruptcy.

Would have gotten some bites if on first page.

There is no reason because they will come in second. PS4 will take the back seat to the Wii U.


Wishful Thinking.


I see it more as a fact.

No, this is a ridiculous post not based on anything in reality, divisions will get spun off before bankruptcy ever happens.

I see the Wii-U being a distant second in Japan. And I see that as a fact.

Your opinion is as good as mine.  There's nothing left but we will see who's first & last.

Uh huh.



This thread needs to be burnt to the ground. Why has it not been locked already?
