What went so horribly wrong?
>>
>>721341981
Xbox killed itself so Sony said fuck it I'll do whatever the fuck and everything they did failed miserably. So the console ended up with no games. It still sells because normies need to play Fortnite or some shit.
>>
>>721341981
Nothing, it's a great PS4 emulator and app machine
>>
>>721341981
unironically keeping the PS4 alive and supported.
Especially when it comes to live service titles, almost all of them bar a few still support the base 2013 PS4 ,I wonder why
>>
Pretty much this >>721342109
No real competitors, basically.
Also, they're not porting their games to other platforms which is the dumbest decision they could make.
They're shooting themselves in the foot by not giving consumers a reason to buy a PS and sure, normies will still buy it to play Fortnite and other GaaS crap but in the long run they'll switch to Nintendo because it costs less, is portable and will get better with each generation and Switch 2 will probably already have more 3rd party games than every Nintendo console ever made.
It seems like both PS and XBOX are run by literal donkeys but what should I care?
>>
>>721341981
Fanboys will buy whatever Sony shits in front of them, so they don't have to bother anymore.

They were never good, they were just lucky enough that when they were throwing the stickiest shit at the wall, they happened to do so right when a gaming bubble started.
The PS1 and PS2 were good precisely because they were cheap CD and DVD players respectively, which also attracted all the publishers flocking to the potential of optical media for lowered production costs and the large prospective audiences (who just bought Madden and Fifa over and over).

>>
>>721341981
PlayStation had no place to go after the PS3 and was just riding on the Xbone being shit with the PS4. Xbox having no place to go after the Xbone ultimately led to both going deeper into the PC pool, when they blew too much money, both were forced to go third party since now the investors want their money as Sony and Microsoft failed their mission to make gaming a normalfag entertainment hub that will take over everything. Nintendo and Valve ended up being right as third parties (not the gaming type) watching the flames spread before Sony and Microsoft came crawling to them and putting their games on their platforms. Now gaming is once again returning to Nintendo and PC.

Either the PS5 sucks by itself, or the entire AAA game industry is trash, unable to either make full use of the PS5 power and create new memorable games.

The PS5 is pretty good, first console with a GOOD CPU in ages, could run a 3D version of dorf pretty much. so it's the other option

This. The PS5 is the cheapest way to play 90% modern games and that comes with an shitload of detriments but when you can only afford a $500 console you're not exactly spoiled for choice.
>>
>>721351127
So they think the PS5 is a barrier due to system price, but the Switch is nearly the same price and PC is 3-4x as much.

Maybe make better games, dumbasses.

That's because they'd get killed by anti-competition watchdogs if they made all their games exclusive.

Yeah, the PS5 is about 40% more expensive than a Switch 2 in Japan. Plus, the Japanese audience doesn't really want it and most of its sales there are from resellers who sell it to Chinese people who use it to play live service slop.

PC is likely the most brown if you think about it. Yes you have the bandwagon retards that think their ''high end'' rig is a replacement for their personality. But you also have slavs, bugs, and BRBRBRBR people that cheat on CS:GO using their toasters. I don't think those types can really afford a console/handheld.

First party will never make up for the lack of 3rd party support. That's why Nintendo consoles have been forever relegated to secondary machines. Everyone who has a Switch has either a PC, Xbox or PS but not everyone who has a PC, Xbox or PS has a Switch. if you only want 1 system you can be sure a Nintendo system will never be their choice.

On the flip side a console without first party support isn't worth buying. If third party games are your thing you should be buying a PC. If you can't afford a PC then say so instead of making complex layers of cope to justify the purchase.
