| Kyuu said: I didn't realize Sony is actually this dumb... holy shit. Nuh, the PS6 is going to bomb and consoles barring Nintendo's for the time being just lost the last major selling point over PC. Hopefully a major backlash forces them to reverse this bullshit. It's as if they're happy to kill their brand once and for all. |
I don't think this is a reality. Console gamers don't care about PC, they want something cost effective to stick in their living room and already play most of their games digitally. This is a reality I think most need to accept. Console gamers lean digital and even most of those who don't, likely don't hate digital either. Suddenly Pokopia sold 50% of its japanese launch sales digital because there is a stock shortage. I don't think it takes much for people to adapt.
The bigger issue for PS6 is its price. But hopefully this does cause enough backlash to warrant a change of tune and at least delay the date. When it comes down to genuine dollars I don't think it would wipe out much of Sonys audience but it could bury them under negativity and scrutiny.
Also interesting that they separate this from PS6 announcement, likely they know the backlash but also maybe they're giving themselves room to change course without it effecting the systems future
