>PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino says he still believes game consoles are needed to play games and he wants to provide new experiences, like portable play, that fit modern lifestyles!>"My belief that a game console is necessary for playing games remains unchanged...>I think we can create something interesting by utilizing technologies that can be used in various forms and locations to develop new game console experiences.>For example, while PlayStation is strongly associated with playing on a TV in the living room, we developed the PlayStation Portal to enable comfortable gameplay in other locations as well. We want to constantly take on new challenges so that we can provide gaming experiences that fit diverse lifestyles."

>while PlayStation is strongly associated with playing on a TV in the living room, we developed the PlayStation Portal to enable comfortable gameplay in other locations as wellwow, what will these geniuses come up with next?
>>741399402 https://archive.ph/wip/uFFry>In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, spotted and machine-translated by Resetera user Red Kong XIX, Nishino responds to reports that PlayStation is stepping away from releasing first-party single-player games on non-PlayStation platforms:>"We've always determined platform selection based on the characteristics of each title. If releasing a title on PC would maximize the gaming experience, we'll continue to consider that option. Our current main policy is that, for single-player games developed in-house, we will further refine the value of the gaming experience that PlayStation can offer. At the same time, we believe it is important for live-service games to reach a wider audience through online multiplayer, so we continue to view releases on both PS5 and PC as the standard. Regardless of the platform, we will make decisions based on the principle of delivering the best possible gaming experience that maximizes each title's unique features." >Commenting on Nishino's remarks today, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier adds in the ResetEra thread:>"I guess they're not going to lay this out publicly, but there's no ambiguity in their strategy. During a townhall a few weeks ago, Hermen Hulst told staff that their single-player narrative games will be PlayStation only, and he explained that they were inconsistent with their PC releases, they didn't make enough money, and they want to keep their IP aligned to their own platform. Confirmed this with two people who heard him say it. There's no 'case by case' here."
Do these fuckers not realize they could literally print money right now if they just made a Vita 2 that could also play PS2 games?
>>741399563play ps2 games.....how?
This shit is the dumbest piece of first-party hardware I've ever seenIt looks like a 7 year old made it by just attaching huge chunky ass PS5 controller to a tablet
>>741399618Through the PS2 Classics they sell on PSN you dumb retarded fuck. Don't reply to me ever again.
The industry was better when we had exclusives and companies actually had to care about selling their hardware and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
>>741399402nobody cares you retarded turd
>>741400203and yet you putted this text here curious
>>741399402Just a lame excuse to cope with the fact nobody wanted to buy their dogshit walking simulators.
>>741399402
>>741399631Looks cool. I'll buy one
>>741401867portal has been out for years but it's basically a wiiu tablet that only streams games locally from your ps5
>>741399402>>741399631why would they do this when they have actual experience with the psp and vita?did they literally set fire to all their research and development?what were they thinking??
>>741399631a familiar grip unlike joycons pretending to be real controllers. not the worst thing in the world.
>>741399402>SONY GOING BACK TO EXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE Good? There was no point in going on their platform if their games go on PC later.>ALSO PLANNING SWITCH RIPOFFAlso good? Switch 2 needs some competition and Steam Decks aren't really selling that well.
>>741399402With denuvo dead, they don't really have a choice.
>>741402267>Good? There was no point in going on their platform if their games go on PC later.exclusives are inherently and objectively anti-consumer, not good.
I don't care the ds outsold the psp, the psp mogged the ds hardbut this future device will just be a ps5 portable which is lame
>>741402353You should apply for a job at xbox
>>741399631I disagree, the form factor looks a million times better than the Switch ergonomically (which is what actually matters), it's just wasted on a cloud streaming tablet instead of an actual handheld ocnsole.
>>741402353Here's my logic:Platform = ManGames = GirlsGames on multiple platforms = Girls are whoresGames exclusive to one platform = MarriageIt's simple to understand unless you want all your games to be whores which they still are because emulation exists, but we don't talk about that.
>>741402881Can't emulate the Switch 2 or PS5 yetFeels good to have many girls who aren't hoes
>>741402267>good>I wouldn't be forced to buy their shitbox otherwisePeak consumer cattle.
>>741402318>the publisher who didn't use Denuvo can't release on PC anymore because Denuvo is getting crackedWhy is it that every time I see Trump I also see absolute retardation, no matter the context?
>>741403112You aren't forced to buy anything, you buy it because you really want it, and for that they need to make games that are so good that they become system sellers, therefore they are good for consumers, because they encourage the production of higher quality games.
>>741402267> Switch 2 needs some competitionAnd sony will manage that how exactly?
>>741399631I was going to get one but it doesnt directly connect the console (like the WiiU controller). Also it cost way too much for what little it is.
>>741402694>in the uk3rd world country
>>741403430Sony still has weebshit exclusives surprisingly.
>>741399402>[Good news]>[Bad news]>[Sad news]Fucking tired of this brackets shit.
>>741403805Like what?
sony does what nintendoalreadydid
>>741403847... Point taken. Still like to see the older weebshit like Castle Panzer and Natsuhiro High School on the go.Also weebshit, particularly VNs, tends to crack their systems wide open somehow. Would like that tradition to continue.
It doesn't matter if they go back to console exclusivity because all they are going to get at this point is their internal studios doing it. No third party company is going to sign an exclusivity deal anymore.
>>741399402>JP are complaining Switch 2 gonna be more expensive than base PS5 soon>Snoy making new handheld>it'll be more expensive than S2just when they almost managed to turn the table in their (old) homeland...
>>741399563>Does Sony not realize they can print money by making a successor to a colossal failure?Listen to yourself
>>741404601Second times a charm.
>>741402353Exclusives are good for competetion, and competition is good. Certain games wouldn't exist if not to bolster platform appeal.
>>741405645Exclusives are the opposite of competition, they are hostages. Imagine how great games would be that are artificially limited to GPU, monitor or TV brands.
lmao does this nip still think the current generation play on TVs
>>741399402Eyes so very very smarr. Tiny tiny eyes. Oaahhhh.
>>741399402qrd>woke games sold like shit on other platforms>so they think hiding them behind exclusivity will add an air of mystery to their shit games in hopes it will increase sales.it will fail
>>741403629I think they are under 200 bucks at Costco. Not bad if you are desperate to play ps5
>>741399631That's essentially what they did.>Saw a Dual Shock 5 (sorry, sorry "Dual Sense") in half>Hot glue Dual Shock 5 halves to a tablet.They forget the Shitch and Shitcher 2: Assassin's of Tendies can REMOVE the stupid controller from the tablet for more comfortable holding.
>>741406536There are still millions of oldfags who play ball and gun games and the occasional movieslop on a console and will never swap to PC.
>>741406995>Shitcher 2: Assassin's of TendiesOkay, that was pretty good
>>741404074>castle panzer>being released in the west with the current standardssorry anon, it will never happen.
GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
>>741409515movies?
>>741409515Live Service games?
[Not News] This >>741403809 anon is a faggot
>>741399402Why does this fag put an exclamation mark at the end of every single one of his posts! It makes it impossible to tell when he's genuinely excited and when he's just faking it, which is probably most of the time!
>>741399543A controller that can split in two and each half can be used as a mouse.
>>741399402well at least they can admit they were wrong
>>741399631it's actually pretty neat but it's not OLED and it's too expensive
Yeah, but where are the games?
>>741399402Getting into bidding wars with Nintendo over portable parts might be worth it in the long run to slow them down and eat away at their momentum.
>>741399563>ps2Which means targeting 35+ year olds.Which means if they want to play ps2 games theyA: have a ps2/ps3B: Emulate on pcC: Emulate on steamdeckAlso, their first party games would be easy to attain, but after 25 years, game licensing is hell so getting all the cool games would be a nightmare to acquire. And also, your target demographic knows how to pirate and emulate. Do you really think they will spend more then 5 bucks on your 25 year old games? All in all, you are stupid and have zero clue how the world works. Stop posting and go play in traffic.
>>741399402part of me wishes it had its own library. the switch is ass, we lost portable games and instead got watered down versions of home console games.
Execs will change hands and Sony will open the PC market back up and maybe if Sony cooks something we'll miss another bloodborne but it's really not that big of a deal.
Sony Does What Nintendid
>>741399402Sony and Nintendo just need to shelve their next consoles and focus on walled gardens for their consoles. Sony for the hip cool singles and teensNintendo for families children and autists. They could divide the industry between themselves and offer deals to decent indie titles that are picking up steam on the PC at a cheaper rate then steam. Just hunker down put out the "games for gamers" thing and go for it. >>741402267Why do they need to create a portable console to compete with nintendo? it's a money sink.Just allow streaming for their console onto smart devices and call it a day.
>>741405831That's not how any of this works.
>>741399402>>741399631Am I on drugs or hasn't this existed for like 4 years?
>>741399563Brother, anyone who wants to play ps2 on the go already bought an emulation device. Now if the Vita 2 was fully BC with PS3, that would be something worth paying attention to. That emulator is so far behind.
>>741399402PCkeks...
>>741411956Lel
>>741415424I'd be mad, but I couldn't bring myself to finish any of the Sony games I pirated.
>>741399402Oh no, how will PC Gamers survive without Hulstslop?
>>741411958ONE GAME
>>741399402>words words words>literally nothing saidKill yourself.,
>>741400154Exclusives create competition and that is SOVL. Fuck this "every game should be on all platforms so everyone can play it :)" hippie shit.
>>741399402>going back to exclusiveo boy with 5 year dev cycles I can't wait for Bloodborne 2 in 2031!
why do these retards at playstation still only have a very limited classics catalogue on ps4 and ps5 while ps3 had all these other games? and why can i only play them through streaming, and why can't i fucking buy them but have to pay for ps premium to play them?it's like they're begging me to emulate instead
>>741399402Notice that the two hardware makers that are shitting the bed just wont SHUT THE FUCK UP. When was the last time Furukawa from Nintendo talked?
>>741399402>like portable playCould they make a PSP in the current age? I don't think so. I'd actually buy one just for the novelty of having a handheld again, but I don't think they have it in them to have a good catalog of games anymore.A legally distinct Switch with the Sony logo on it is just not appealing.
>>741399402And how many years is it going to take to start making those exclusives again?
>>741399563>that could also play PS2 games?Like others have said, it's just not good enough of a pull to get people buying your hardware.Sony must do the impossible and ACTUALLY MAKE NEW GAMES if they want people to buy a hypothetical portable console. I'm not sure if they're ready for such avant garde thinking.
>>741399402What changed? The move to stop making exclusives and sell shit to PC was done because of how development costs had sky rocketed and one ecosystem wasn't enough but now it is viable all of a sudden?
>>741399402He better shut down the california side branch quick before they sabotage the revival
>>741413638>Why do they need to create a portable console to compete with nintendo?Because Switch 2 is about to outsell PS5's lifetime sales in Japan in barely a year on the market.
>>741419564I genuinely don't know and I doubt the guys at Sony know either.
>>741419083It's OK when Nintendo does it.
>>741419126When he asked for excuses for having to raise the price by mere $50.
>>741419564Desperate cope to feed the current online journos narrative that they hope will somehow translate into sales.
>>741403783Everywhere is a 3rd world country faggot.
>>741419126It's not an issue for anyone else but to me one of my top things to change with new Xbox lead is STOP GIVING ALL THOSE JOURNOS INTERVIEWS.They will just spin clickbait headlines out of it and professionally misunderstand what is said.Sony does it way less than and Nintendo doesn't do it at all.Stop talking to them.
>>741419776Like what xbox tried to do for all of 5 minutes prior to telling all its studios to look at a wall and await execution?
>>741399631Snoys officially can’t taunt Tendies anymore for whipping out their Switch on the bus if that’s the future of PlayStation.
>>741419878>falling for the narrative
>>741419902They'll say their handheld is more grown up. They did it for the PSP with that Daniel Craig picture. You've probably seen it at least once.
>>741399402>For example, while PlayStation is strongly associated with playing on a TV in the living room, we developed the PlayStation Portal to enable comfortable gameplay in other locations as well.I think only sony fanboys have embraced that streaming/cloud shit. Truly the worst fanbase with the worst taste. >We want to constantly take on new challenges so that we can provide gaming experiences that fit diverse lifestylesI can't see them launching 2 consoles during the AI crisis. Companies are already stretched thin with everything else. >>741399545>We've always determined platform selection based on the characteristics of each title. If releasing a title on PC would maximize the gaming experience, we'll continue to consider that option.

Regardless of the platform, we will make decisions based on the principle of delivering the best possible gaming experience that maximizes each title's unique featuresIn other words they're leaving PC and losing all PC countries in the world like China to Nintendo. PC gamers will just buy Switch 2.
>>741420658>PC gamers will just buy Switch 2.I hope PC Gamers aren't stupid enough to buy any subscription box.
Finally. All this kumbaya crap was just embarrassing. Compete for my dollars.
>>741419850Nintendo literally had a Don Materick moment when Bowser was in charge.
>>741413958The thing in the picture exists and is like 5 years old, it's basically a Wii U gamepad for a PS5 i.e. you NEED a PS5 to use it, and it'll then stream the games playing on your PS5.What OP is talking about is Sony wanting to make an ACTUAL standalone handheld
>>741399402they should release a new portable but not call it a PS6. they should also delay the PS6 till 2030
>>741399402they already lost Japan to nintendo switch. this is just them being desperate.
>>741421162no they didn't
