| EricHiggin said: -9th gen launched late 2020, so no, SNY was not in the same overly dominant position they are now. XB has been trying this since 2013 and it was the first knife of a thousand and the brand has slowly been bleeding out since. |
Sony has been in a very dominant position basically the entire time.
| EricHiggin said: -Wrong. Most casuals won't go to that extent. They may buy a physical copy here or there, but they're not going to inconvenience themselves all the time, from their point of view. It's basically up to the semi hardcore casuals and the hardcore audience to use their money to do the talking. |
I didn't say anything about casuals vs hardcore?
| EricHiggin said: A very clear and large drop off in physical sales, following all this backlash, while the backlash continues, is more than enough to get SNY's attention. It will let them know that their foundational fans will not put up with it and will not cheerlead and back PS products going forward. Knowing what that could mean for the PS6 launch should make SNY very nervous. If it doesn't, or SNY doesn't react whatsoever to the physical sales tanking all of the sudden, while digital sales don't increase at all, then so be it. Let PS6 bomb so hard that it makes PS3 flex. |
It would send Sony the message that people aren't investing in a dying platform and they're transitioning to digital. Which is exactly what they want.
