They might get complacent and it will bite them in the arse. The more successful companies get, the more of an arsehole they become.

Only if they continue to dominate like they were. If Xbox starts catching up, even in the US, you'll see humble Sony faster than you can say "get a second job".

Do you think Sony will get cocky next generation with the PS5 and start implementing user retrictions and forced funtions like only digital formats (no disks) etc. Are we starting to see it already with no 4K drive in PS4 Pro? Will Sony drop the ball to second/third place. History is against them Sony, MS, nintendo, Sega have all done it. What's your take?

I think this is the oppersite.

Sony paid alot for its hardware design choices,... with the PS3.

Now instead of assumeing everyone will just pay extra for their hardware, their very causious about what they put in.

 

 

 

You're right...

PS4 pro price is so sweet why skyrocketing just to include a 4k drive, they wouldn't be able to sell it at 399$ with a 4k optical drive without losing money and they're not in a position of losing money and that from their currently most profitable business...

Is 4k drive needed, does it have any effect in games visuals? Someone enlighten me.



Maybe, maybe not.

All three of the major console manufacturers have been through this at least once. All three hath partaken of their own kool-aid. They thought they were on top for good--or, in Microsoft's case, believed they were trending upward to the point that the top was a foregone conclusion.

This is what happens when businesses take the market for granted. Most people are loyal to themselves first and foremost and will switch if it seems like they're going to get a better product or a better deal.

Especially in the gaming business, it should be obvious by now that you cannot predict a generation based on the previous generation. Everyone knows that now. It's quite possible that those in charge have learned their lesson.

Every 15-20$ counts.... and no a UHD blu-ray drive doesnt effect any games visual.

Because of the mandatory cross-compatibility between both PS4s, 4K drive using 100GB discs would have being totally useless for gaming.

But because PS5 will be a clear new gen (Cerny already said this), I see no reason why PS5 wouldn't have a UHD 4K drive for both games and also movies.

But the could get 'cocky' on others points



They wont be as arrogant. I hope they're not arrogant at all but it's hard not to be.. confident after such a generation like this is turning out to be.

What? it's not so low mr jrpgfan, wii u optical drive costs 25$...



God I hope they don't. That's why the PS3 launch was so embarrassing.



I hope not they ain't in a position to become cocky/arrogant now.
They could have do it with Ps3 since the PS1 and PS2 we're dominating and they had a lot of money back then,now they ain't in a position to mess up they are i think in a make or break situation.

They make money from my understanding from PSN,Playstation hardware and Software,Camera Lenses and one more division i think can't remember.

And plus if they get cocky then we get bad games in the end i want to look forward to savage games like Horizon,Last of us 2 etc etc.
