You know how there are folks who want Nintendo to behave like Sony and Microsoft and push performance and realism? And you know how that’s just not in Nintendo’s DNA and fans wouldn’t want it anyway, for the most part.

Well that’s how what I am going to say is going to come across. I think Sony should take an inventory of the IPs they’ve created over the years and begin a revival project with small to medium sized budgets. They should experiment with some of their dormant IPs and lean a bit into nostalgia. The titles wouldn’t have to be AAA updates, but something that we could have expected to see on the PS3 or early PS4.

I don’t think this strategy would grow their brand, but it may help to bring some wayward players back into the fold. The current Sony just doesn’t have much in common with anything pre-PS4 and and I feel like they’ve made their way by appealing to the massive XBox360 audience that Microsoft left behind.

But yeah, this doesn’t sound like a winning strategy for the company. It’s just something I’d like to see to rekindle my own enjoyment of the brand I had during the PS1/PS2 era.
