No but, Nintendo will always be my first console. I enjoy playing my Playstation games when I'm not playing Nintendo games. But if console gaming gets too expensive on Sony or if they get rid of the disc drive next generation, a Nintendo console is all that I need.

Team Asobi is carrying the whole damn company on their backs rights now and no sign of the other studios 4 years into the generation. 

It's your comment about the games that makes me question the trolling because it's just flat out false and makes no sense. People were saying Insomniac was carrying Sony now Asobi release one game this year and now they are carrying Sony? Did Arrowhead do nothing for Sony releasing the biggest GAAS this year?

"No signs of the other studios in 4 years?"

Like am I supposed to take this comment seriously and just assume you're trolling me or what? Spiderman 2 came out last year.  I'm cool having serious conversations about Sony and the moves they are making but when you just say things that are a lie and you know they are a lie what am I supposed to think?

There you go again. "Trolling"  blah, blah like people can't have an opinion. Why would I be trolling? Since we're name calling, I bet you're a fanboy, right. Did you see the Xbox conference at the Game awards? Golden, absolutely phenomenal and blew anything Sony put together out of the water in many years. Xbox is doing what Sony done during the PS3 era to get out of the slump and actually incubating talent and innovating while actually risking things. Nintendos over there releasing solid title after solid title and giving their consumers exactly what they want. Sony, nah, here's a handheld that only works near your ps5, here's a remaster of a game that has very little differences in TLOU2 for full price. Consume sheep, consume.

It's so strange to see these companies struggle like this. Over the last thirty years, I've seen Nintendo and Sony bounce between being gods and clowns over and over again. And in Microsoft's case, they literally beat the Wii in the US with the 360... and then decided that the right play was to to sell a TV-box a few years later that couldn't play used games.

Why are these companies so bad at predicting what gamers want from gen to gen? Are they that detached? It makes no sense to me.

It keeps happening indeed but they fail to learn, you'd think when you put someone in charge they'd have knowledge of the companies history but it seems they don't and keep repeating the mistakes made by previous leadership. It's fascinating but also very disappointing.

No, it's not starting.

It already started or you never had a good image of them?

Massive PS Plus price increases in 2023 with little added benefits.
Sony has made it clear they're in mid-2000s level of arrogance again when the PS3 was being developed and released. Nothing is ever guaranteed but there's a good chance PS6 struggles out the gate if the arrogance continues.

Exactly. I stuck with them back then through the rough but I'm not a teenager anymore, they can't rely on their aging base like they think they can, they aren't apple. The 10th gen could swing very badly for them if they don't get it together cause Xbox is over there incubating games and trying at innovation. It looks mighty tempting had they not started this multiplat stuff and leave doubt of the hardware security for us. 

Sadly, I'm almost forced to upgrade to PS5 cause I have no other route to the games I want to play but I can't say I'll be their 10th gen. 

If PS6 is a similar level of mistakes to PS3, the only thing salvaging Sony out of the gate that we could already bet on is the digital ecosystem and PlayStation Network. There would still be a notable enough number of early adopters that use the logic of "Hey, it is expensive and doesn't have many games I want to play but I'm already in the PlayStation ecosystem and I want better specs than PS5 and PS5 Pro".

Would a stained imagine be an inability to conceive of a clear idea?

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Nah, I don't think it's that strong. The proportion of people who play they're older library is small, people will take their entire library and sell it to get a new console remember. They'd easily depart with their digital one too or keep the around ps5 for it. Trophy Hunters are a minority too and while I have been one and still enjoy them, It's not going to hold me to the system, all it is, is a bunch of numbers. If Sony fucks up, I don't think the hardcore fan vase xsn save them, same as the 13 million hardcore Nintendo gamers couldn't save the WiiU.

It's my damn mobiles keyboard, it thinks it knows what I want to say better than I do myself. 



It started stinking when Jim ryan tried to push his GAAS monetization utopia dream to the people who bought PS5 expecting high quality single player games its known for. It caused so much disruption on their internal studios soo many wasted time and money on cancelled GAAS like faction or giga failure like concord.

We aren't talking about opinions though you are just flat out lying that's the issue. When I point that out you don't even address it.

Yea I saw the Xbox presentation and I agree it was fantastic. Unfortunately I can't play a showcase and I have no trust in Xbox's ability to actually deliver on their games. The company lies and misleads people constantly but from your post I can see that's right up your ally.
