They have no real competition. Xbox is essentially dead and PC and Nintendo are serving a different audience. If you're a normalfag dumbass who just wants CoD, Madden and GTA then you're gonna buy a PS5. That's the problem and why they can get away with releasing flop after flop
Normies and women.
>>738002934nintendo.
>>738002934Snoys having no standards.
>>738002934No games.
>>738002934Straight-up, the lack of competion.When PS3 stumbled at the start of seventh gen, after the high of PS2, everyone knew this would be what PlayStation is like if they ever had no competiton. Here we are.
it literally was just jim ryannew ceo is based>wants japansse marketshare back>stopped the pc ports>said they are going to invest more into asian developed studios>said they are going to have more lower/ medium budget games in general to maintain IP popularity instead of having game release in a series once in seven years>unfucked ps5 pro being shit with pssr 2.0Still needs to fire hermen hulst and bite through the sour apple of the last few GaaS slop games that are still in the pipeline and the ps6 gen will offer much more of a chance of being good again.
PS4 pro is still godlike so IDC
>>738003724>raise pricesHoly based
california
what do you mean? we're on schedule
obliterated by Series S Chads
They pushed Nintendo to stop making home consoles for good, which is why I'll never forgive them. Also california and its woke brainworm
>>738003992>Until Dawn included but not BloodborneI'm convinced Hermen Hults actually just hates that IP
>>738003992add to the list>Intergalactic>Sarosmega hits
>>738002934They gave up on the vita too soon, which was basically the Nintendo Switch but superior in almost every way. >backwards compatible and can play every single ps1 and psp title to ever exist >Vita games(even the shitty ports) are on the same level graphically, if not better looking than most switch titles>classic titles people actually want to just buy and play are not locked behind subscription service It's nuts how overlooked the vita was. I'm sure whatever handheld Sony is rumored to be developing isn't going to be anywhere close to the near perfection that was the PS Vita
It started at the tail-end of the PS2, they really could've focused more on exclusivity line-up, and had a lot more publishing power. Launching the PSP split their studios, some of their most tenured first-party studios went to work on PSP titles that ultimately didn't do well and were decently niche and would eventually do worse than the DS which was a global hit.The PS3's launch was pretty much a failure in everyway, it probably should've failed harder than the Sega Saturn did when the Playstation originally arrived in Europe, especially in Europe. The European lineup was so horrendous and they had extra time for it. Sony did the same shit they did with their actual first party developers (which was fuck them over, not send dev-kits out, not put them on PS3 launch titles and give them no time to develop good games), the developers that would actually stick by the console, and they ended up with nothing for even the european launch for first-party lineup.After the PS3, they start shutting some studios or laying them off. The few studios they have left they wouldn't close down (Killzone, LBP, Naughty Dog, aka the ones that did good returns or could be a safe bundle choice) were moved to the Vita. The Vita didn't make sales they needed, so even if the first party studios they HAD were making shit for the PS4 launch, they still got shut down anyway. The company's strategy had completely switched by the time the PS4 launched when it came to their first-party titles, the only real old bastions of the PS1/PS2 era is like maybe GT, but even GT is a fuck-fest of live service bullshit no one wants, and the game is a different beast nowaays.Another big issue is the company has had the same issue that Microsoft had with its own games division (and EA did) which is the wrong people got put into positions which they could play favorites for, while some of the more talented "safer" bet studios get gutted.Xbox never had what Sony had, so I think Sony bottled it harder.
More cancelled live service games than PS5 exclusives
>PS5>$500 to game smoothly in 4k>PC>$3000 to game in 4k on a small screen with stutters, bugs, crashes, and inconvenient UIWow geez, what went so horribly wrong? Sony is so fucked and are about to collapse.
>>738006845>PS5>4klol
>>738002934I don't really care about the lack of exclusives. In my manchild years I prefer a console for couch gaming and PS5 does the job.
>>738002934They released a console after the PS1.Would've been perfect if they just updated the PS1 to actually have 3D functionality.DVDs? Bloat, CDs are cheaper, DVDs killed consoles, please ignore that consoles appear to be alive those are just post-mortem convulsions.>>738003724>Want>Stopped something that already wasn't happening>Said>Said>AI slopWhole load of nothing changing. Still won't have any trust from AA that isn't running a symmetrical scam.>>738006845>500$How long have you been paying 80$ a year for a console equivalent to an 800$ PC during a component shortage?
My account got region locked cuz I moved countries. Been pirating ever since.
>>738002934Americans and beancounters took over.
Fuck them for cutting PSVR2 support within a yearand not porting any PSVR1 games, seriously?!
