Yeah...when Xbox is irrelevant and all but dead and being outsold 3:1 and Nintendo quietly bowed out of the home console market and found a niche with a handheld you can plug into your tv, and PC is too technical for 99% of normalfaggots to bother with. PlayStation will totally die...for sure...uhuh...
>>
>>12811741
I love Sony, but I'm glad.

PS1, PS2 and PSP were great.
PS3, PS Vita and PS4 were fine, but the beggining of the end.
PS5 and PS Portal, and anything onwards, is just painful, Sony lost what made them special.
>>
>>12811914
Playstation is dying a weird death. Obviously they aren't going outnof business or stopping making consoles but as far as reputation, they shat on all the propaganda they did in the past about being the "good guys" and are going full machiavelism.
I don't know if you can proudly say that Sony is winning or whatever when they announced the kill of discs and the whole MCU/moviegame fatigue (gotta give credit to the normalfags for FINALLY figuring that one out)
>>
>>12812142
>Playstation is dying a weird death
They're not dying at all, your childish vision of Sony perpetually clinging to the late 90's/early 00's is dying. They're a company, they make products, they pursue profits. Simple as that. There are no "good guys" or "bad guys". This isn't 2003 anymore, exclusives are not the #1 most important thing. It doesn't matter if Sony 1st party ceases to exist, 3rd parties will keep PlayStation alive for the next 50+ years minimum.

Sony has carved out its market as THE home console experience, Switch has its place as the kids thing/the Nintendo fanboy thing/the weird handheld hybrid thing, Xbox is all but dead and PC is and has ever been a niche for hardcore users and 3rd worlders.

>they make products
Yes and these products are not gettting physical releases anymore and not only that, the content of these games (all the typical moviegame Sony is known for) has finally fatigued its cattle consumers.
Sure people might still buy it for GTA or FIFA whatever but the reputation is terrible, worse than ever.
Also it's not me who thinks in "good/bad guys" narratives, I'm just mentioning the way they protrayed themselves on media narratives.
BTW Xbox just got Kojimbo on board lel, modern gaming is getting bizarre. But then again, the world in general is getting really bizarre really quick.
>>
If Nintendo could bounce off a console that was so bad it killed their CEO, Sony can do the same
>>
>>12812159
>Yes and these products are not gettting physical releases anymore
PC ditched physical ages ago and are making more cash than the big three combined
>>
>>12812163
But you aren't buying a Brand PC™ to run them. Or you don't need to.
Anyway, don't worry, as I said Sony is not disappeaing, so if you're a fanboy who just needs to see Sony still alive, you're good. But you have to accept that your console doesn't have physical games, that the moviegames have become a joke even within its own intended audience, and that the HQ is in California.

The only moviegames I buy are the best ones that eventually get switch ports and sell for $20 max

I also play on PC, although I don't have a Steam account and never will pay for digital licenses. Rather pirate.

>>12812210
Ok looking at Crysis and red faction guerilla they’re actually $30. Close enough

Saints row, metro, bioshock, all $20

Kojima is special, he can moviegame all he wants

>>12812362
>moviegame western: :|
>moviegame japan" :O
>>
>>12812352
Probably, doesn't mean it isn't a huge blow to Sony fanboys still.
Kojima was always one of the big developers Playstation had, even after going multiplat, Kojima always favored Sony.
Going with Microsoft, even if you think his new games suck, is a sign of the modern times and the position of current Sony.
Kojima's moviegames may suck but not as badly as Insomniac's.
>>
>>12812371
>Kojima always favored Sony.
Then why did he make the remake of his big game that launched him into stardom a GameCube exclusive
>>
>>12812375
>snoys still salty about that one

>say something stupid
>get proven wrong

>>
>>12812394
Alright, Kojima betrayed Sony fans that one time, maybe also when he released some other games on Nintendo like Botkai, but "favored" doesnt mean it was a total exclusivty thing, it just means he usually put more stuff on Sony. That has ended.
>>
>>12812224
crysis and red faction arent moviegames nigger
>>
>>12812371
>huge blow to Sony fanboys
You are at /vr/, /v/ tourist zoomie. No one gives a shit about kojima and modern Sony playstations.
The Sony and Kojima of today have nothing to do with Sony and Kojima of 20~30 years ago.
Playstation began its descent toward subversion after Kutaragi stepped down. Everything that followed (ps3 slim, ps4...) is not made following the same principles and values of the og Sony period (90s to mid 2000s).
Kojima's last decent (not great) game was MGS4. Kojima's peak was MGS3. This man should have pivoted to the Hollywood movie industry about 10 years ago.

Sony made history.

Nintendo and Sega did this to themselves.

This.
Retro gaming started with the PS1 and PS2. Nintendo and sega are but a kiddei blight on the industry's history.
>>
>>12811914
Pretty sure Sony is going down but it's not because of their incompetence or anything, just a change in market. Consoles are slowly becoming a thing of the past, as is traditional gaming as a whole. In a decade, we're going to be seeing nothing but predatory mobile-tier video games along with very short titles designed for quick consumption so players move on and pick up the next thing. It won't just affect Sony, but all of the big three and a chunk of the PC market as well.

At a certain point, only retro games and indies will continue to exist by virtue of having been made at a time where they were simple enough to emulate and small enough to be effectively impossible to police against piracy. The entire concept of video games as they were prior to 2010 will be something entirely divorced from what's considered gaming in 2035, and the period between will just been seen as a transitional period.
