You want to talk about "diversity" in games? I'm tired of women being artificially shoehorned into AAA ( Hi Horizon!) titles so as to appease the SJW mob. It's gotten so bad that it's literally ruined them for me. The same goes for movies and TV. At some point, it stops being about diversity and starts being reverse bigotry. At the very least, it's fucking stupid.

True. If you want diversity, go for Xbox. Sony focusses more on QTE fests.

Overall lineup that we've waited for uhh 4 years. :p

I'm not saying that Playstation is not diverse. I said less diverse.I am just not impressed with Sony as I was in the previous generations. Sure they made some strides coming from the year 2014 when all they have was Infamous and Driveclub but the identity or soul of the console is just not as vibrant. I wish they are on their toes but it seems like Sony has other plans and becoming less competitive and are just focused on what currently sells for them as a whole which causes some noticeably genres to fade in the playstation ecosystem which used to be their strength. A niche box which is exactly not a bad thing if done right.

 I don't think you understand what diversity means. A mixture of original IP, sequels, remakes, popular and niche genres, bigger and smaller budgets, first and third party, etc is plenty diverse. Are you sure you don't mean unique? Hard to do that in an increasingly saturated medium (let alone with any confidence in success), but Dreams is about as unique as it gets and they're doing their damnedest to embrace VR.

They make or commission plenty of those, too. Concrete Genie, Inpatient, Firewall, Blood & Truth, more I'm probably forgetting.

I'm confused. Do you want niche/risky games with smaller budgets (above) or bigger budgets (Detroit, Dreams)?

Support your argument. How many niche games did Nin release last year compared to Sony? How about this year's lineup?

Wth do you call Dreams?

Its identity is the home console with something for almost everyone. This is supported by the lower individual game sales but higher attach rates and overall hardware and software sales.

Each big platform provides something the others don't.

Starting to think I'm being taken for a ride...

Why should Sony feel threatened when they just had their best year yet doing everything you just criticized while the Switch hardly competes in the same market?

There was a time when Playstation can do everything. :p

I am arguing that they are less diverse. Less aggressive to push for a difference in the console. PS4 is a 5 year old console and I have been more interested with Switch in ten months than the whole ltd of PS4 cause they are offering something unique from other platforms. That sucks when you think of how long the development cycles of their exclusives. You need to depend on what third party devs offer and right now... PS4 is not offering a unique experience from the likes of Switch and Xbox or PC. That sucks cause my wallet can only be there as my interest wanes.

how is the gender of a main character (in your example, horizon) shoehorning to appease sjw mobs, can you point to a single instance where anyone ever approached the developers demanding they make a female lead? and at the same time, why would horizons main char being female be shoehorning, but characters like Lara croft, faith, 2b etc, are not?

perhaps the problem is you

Why did you bring that type of 'diversity' into this conversation? This is referring purely to the variety of breadth of games available on a particular platform. Social opinions don't really pertain to the amount of unique experiences on can experience with their game console. 

A mixture of games with long developments? PS4 may have a diverse library but the wait is too long.

Dreams When was it announced? Wild? Detroit? It took years and it's still not even released and I'm not here for that. Can't call it diverse when it's not even out yet. :p

Why should Sony feel complacent? Do you actually believe Nintendo is not trying to eat Sony's lunch with the switch? haha

Eh, it's more of Sony sticking with what they're comfortable with which is narrative-driven games while branching out a bit like what Media Molecule is doing with Dreams and Pixel Opus with Concrete Genie. I do want Sony to make an JRPG and it doesn't necessarily have to be AAA. It can be a smaller budget game with a good story and good characters. But it really depends on what Japan Studios is doing now.

Lol, talk about reaching...

Do you actually believe they are when they're both retreating to their home turfs (Sony more home focused, Nin more mobile) and focusing on different audiences? They both just had excellent years without stepping on each others toes.
