Time to buy the console
>>741596504Only modern playstation exclusive I'd really want is bloodborne and emulating it is a good enough experience now that I'm not really interested in buying a paperweightstation
to play what, cuck of war: girlboss edition?
Not buying a moviestation.
>>741596504Who needs a dykestation?
>>741596504The real reason Playstation is pulling out of Steam is because of the rumor that the next Xbox would be able to play Steam games. If anything, PC ports are another way to pad out their struggling sales numbers for relatively little cost.
>>741596504Yeah, I'm really going to lament missing all those console generation defying games like, uh.. ..and.. ..the, uh..neck yourself for this low effort thread, OP
>>741596504I'm not bailing out your failstation. Fuck you, go bankrupt.
sony execs really went into a boardroom and said WOW WE SHOULD REALLY STOP MAKING MONEY BY SELLING GAMES TO MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE PS5 OWNERS JUST GOBBLE THEM UP
the funny part is that I don't need a Playstation regardless if Sony releases their games on PC or not
I will buy a PS5 if they make MAG 2
>"Goddamn I fucking hate making money"-t. Sony
>>741598806Nah, they just can't compete with the quality of PC exclusive games from Capcom, Bandai, Square Enix, etc, so instead of raising the quality of their games, they fled with their tails between their legs behind their walled garden
>>741596504I'll consider it once they decide to make a game for it.>>741599261If Zipper hadn't died, I think a crack at a PS4 MAG would have been worthwhile.
oh noi won't be able to play onions of war or dykes of us 3
>>741599385most of those numbers for the PS5 are microtransactions for gacha slop or giganormie games such as roblox, gta, cod, fortnite, true game sales amount to about 5% of these
I'm never buying a console, no matter what exclusives they have
>>741596504Unless their new console has complete backwards compatibility there's no reason they didn't just sell all the classics on PC.
>>741599442PC is in such an awful spot right now honestly, totally overrun by third worlders and the games that would usually be confined to net cafes instead of shitting up steam
>>741596504Nah.
>>741598806I don't think it's the only reason, but it's likely a pretty big one, yeah.The problem with being on steam(for them) is that it also lures customers into that ecosystem and away from their own. Whereas the reverse isn't true - there's nothing they can do with that to bait steam players to get a playstation. You can only do that with exclusives.
>>741599518What? no, LMAO! Third worlders more often than not get consoles because PC parts are impossible to afford in their shitholes (the only saving grace of the current crisis)PC gaming is some 80%+ a first world thing
>>741596504Them porting to PC was the only reason I was spending anything on Sony titles. Playstation stopped giving a good reason to purchase a few generations ago. Not enough "must have" exclusives. Just "I'll get it if its available, but dont' need to" games.
>>741599493>"true" game sales
>>741599518Real problem is that PC gaming is hard to get into rn due to the AI bubble
>>741596504>if we sell our games on a different platform people not buy the one place they used to get it fromfire everyone involved
>>741599442holy slop, how can steam players cope with this reality?
>>741599385fortnite and gacha
>>741599646China isn't first world
>>741599385Keep in mind Sony owns 95% of the market because Xbox forfeited most of their loyal customers, then PS5 got the covid boom. Their platform "won" but not because they make great games.
>>741599694Let's see the Playstation chart nowNo, wait, I'll save you the time and effort>moviegame 1>moviegame 2>moviegame 3: We need to be better men!>moviegame 0: The Last Bad man>gaasslop 1>gaasslop 2>gaasslop 3woooooow, so much better than steam!!! wow I can't hold my excitement, can't wait to buy a ps5!
>>741599662As if.
>>741599856Keep in mind Valve owns 95% of the market because everyone else forfeited most of their loyal customers, then Steam got the covid boom. Their platform "won" but not because they make great games.
>>741599865they don't even play the movie games anymore. the top played games every week since forever are cod, sportsball, fornite, and roblox
I will never touch a Snoy console or game ever again after what they did to GR.
>>741600043None of those can run games that well anon. Those are business laptops.
>>741600436But they can run them. Stop being so entitled. Poor people want to game, too.
>>741600430More like what they did to Japan Studio in general, I still can't believe they could be so retarded
>>741600112that doesn't work cause steam never got a covid boom. it was always on top. cope and sneed little snoyboi
>>741599694>steam playersThis weird trend of trying to turn people who use Steam into a fanbase the same way Nintendo and Sony have them is retarded. It's a storefront, first and foremost.Anyway, what reality am I coping with, here? I don't care what other people are playing.
>>741596504They never ported the games people actually wanted on PC so that's entirely their fault.
>>741599662Definitely made it roughest for PC, though it's starting to show on consoles, since they generally make contracts for certain prices that only last a specific amount of time.If it stays bad up to PS6 release, it could easily be a $1000 console since all those contracts should be expired by then.
Don't care didn't read sony and consoletards can eat my cock
>>741598806No, they realized they can't sell PS+ subscriptions on PC because people didn't even want to make a PSN account to play their gamesThe end goal is always to sell a service
>>741596504>buy the consoleFor what reason? What new hotness have they released that's not available on PC?>God of soi: Ugly Karen editionNo thanks you guys have fun lol
>>741598806To be honest I don't really give a shit about sony exclusives, I cared about a couple but they shot themselves in the foot and went the worst possible way around them.>Take forever to get to PC (if ever, still waiting on crash racing)>9 out of 10 times the games are meh at bestAND MOST IMPORTANTLY;>When they do sell well it makes the publishers ask themselves "Why the fuck are we exclusive to Sony even for timed exclusives?"See Capcom for a premier example of this and why now they sell like hotcakes on PC, whatever money Sony gives them for timed or console exclusivity is often not worth the hassle of cutting down potential profits and having Sony breathing down your neck.Microsoft fucked themselves over by just giving up on exclusivity altogether while Sony fucked themselves by trying to control them way too hard while not having anything really worthwhile, I haven't bought a non nintendo console since the PS3 and I haven't missed a single game I've wanted to play except said crash racing and bloodborne which are not really worth a console purchase.You might think I'm memeing or trying to start shit but take a look at this and tell me I'm wronghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_4-only_gameshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Xbox_One-only_gamesAs always executives are retarded and completely fucked up console exclusives to the point nintendo could get away with releasing dogshit and still sound like a better deal because they actually have decent or even good exclusives.They could've had their cake and eat it too by catering to both PC and PS/xbox by giving different exclusives at specific times.Imagine for example medium/smaller games like Gravity Rush and sequels being exclusive to PS AND PC so they get a shitton more sales and worth of mouth to keep the studio going and fund more games while big system sellers like FF are timed exclusives to sell the console and services.
>>741599129Wow, those numbers are abysmal, because Alinea always estimates high.
>>741599865The top games on consoles are Fortnite, Call of Duty, FIFA, Minecraft, GTA and Roblox. Every fucking year.
>>741596504They'll all come back in another decadeAnd by then I'll know what 2 released in that time are worth playing, AFTER the console chuddies playtest the games and buy the free updates I'll be getting with the Ultimate Definitive Edition Deluxe.
>>741596504Sony is retarded and uncreative nowIf they really wanted to make some money all they'd need to do is make two GPUs: one that lined up with the base PS5 and the other that was the equivalent of the PS5 Pro.That way they'd provide a reference platform for PC, GPUs that their developers can use as well as an assurance that the games they release run properly.They wouldn't even need to do it themselves they could team up with AMD and pick PowerColor and Sapphire to make the cards exclusively and heavily control QA.They already do this with the Playstation monitor and headphones and shit
it really is hard to imagine how far these motherfuckers have fallen
>screencap of a reddit post title of a clickbait news articleHoly fucking nigger you need to go back
>>741596504nooooo, if I don't buy a console I'm gonna miss on... uuhhhhh...
>>741599129>source: we made it uplol
>>741599129>>741596504Sony saw that Microsoft got nothing but negative backlash and bad financial news from their strategy of making everything multiplat. They probably realized they were devaluing Playstation as a brand if you can just play their games on your computer.I also think part of it is the current economic situation: The PS6 is likely getting delayed and probably by like 4 years. It might even have to get redesigned. They can't release a PS6 for at least the next 2-3 years, and that is optimistic. They don't want to devalue the PS5 by just releasing everything on PC and eventually having enough of their PS5 players just naturally drift over to PC during a longer than average console generation.
>>741605178This all depends COMPLETELY on how well GTA6 runs on the base PS5.If it runs like trash like the original version of GTA5, Sony will want to move up the new console release ASAP to capitalize on people who want to run GTA6 as well as possible before Rockstar brings it to PC.The Xbox strategy in this next cycle is to come out with a single SKU that runs GTA6 as fast as possible, and to release it sooner than Sony gets any new hardware out at all.I don't think people really understand how desperate these companies are to have a system seller, and pulling their games off Steam is more about rebuilding their moats before GTA drops and freezes software sales for the next 2-3 years.Execs in the industry are all shitting themselves, with the exception of Take Two
