    Snoy's not had any games for a good 15 years now, and even they finally realized that appealing to the hardcore Snoy tribalists does not generate enough money. Which anyone with half the brains would've realized already decades ago.

    Consoles in general became totally obsolete by the time 2010s rolled and multiplat became the default AAA shit.

      Other way around. This made PCs obsolete, not consoles.

    You need to understand most of their decisions are based on shareholder opinions. They don’t care about PlayStation or gamers just returns on investment.

        Nintendo games sell like 30 millions each. Never go down in price. Their hardware never goes down in price either. They are in a unique position in which catering to other systems, like selling their games on PC, would only serve to cheapen the brand and hurt their sales.

    So sue fans, send lawyers to break up independent tournaments, send lawyers to ruin a fan project of nine years because it includes your mascot?

    One of the best things their president can do is shut down their legal department. Lawyers saved Nintendo, but allowing them free reign is killing the company.

    They can't do that. PS brand is built on movie games and "striving to be like Nintendo" would alienate the moviegame audience they've built over the last 15 years

    People are growing tired of Sony's safe formulaic movie games

    I think Spiderman 2 will massively underperform and it will look as outdated as Gears 4 and Halo Infinite did. Shallow as a puddle games are not going to fly anymore after BG3, Starfield and AC6.

    They should have never gotten rid of Japan Studio, they killed the only diversity they had going for them. GAAS isn't going to save them either.

    It's just a stupid moronic company. Bring out your fricking Bloodborne remaster already or frick off.

        They were the only Sony studio with any semblance of quality or innovation. Any Japan Studio game was more innovative than a thousand western indieslop games.

        Ico has been cloned tenthousand times by unoriginal hack western indiedevs the world over.

        You have Japan Studios to thank for providing the bluepoint that 95% of western indieslop devs rely on.

          And I bet you own none of them.

          Legend of Dragoon did terrible in Japan at launch as did all the others. Sony’s highest selling first party game in Japan of all time is Ghost of Tsushima.

          good post. was really hoping people would stop pretending that no one cared about Japan Studio after the Patapon spiritual successor hit like 6x its target budget in the span of a single day
          suppose this is Ganker though so we need to pretend that no one played or was aware of infamously obscure hidden gems like Shadow of the Colossus or Demon's Souls, or else that they ackchyually had nothing to do with games which they "only" produced

        > The Last Guardian (moviegame)

        Brainlet take. It's an ambitious game, a 3D platformer/adventure game with your main npc being completely driven by AI, and needing to cooperate with him to progress through the game.

        Let me know any other game that did the kind of advanced shit last Guardian did. Fur animation, locomotion of the creature, interactivity with the creature, etc. Its AI was far from perfect and a lot could be improved but it was daring, innovative and took risks, which is more than can be said for 99% of western indieslop.

        And it also happens to look better than 99% of UE4-produced western indieslop too.

    Sony needs to go out and buy third party studios soon. Tencent and Microsoft is gobbling them up and soon all of the third party games will disappear from PlayStation.

    Sony already lost all the Bethesda games except their MMO or legacy games. Now they will also lose all Activision/Blizzard games except COD (for now).

    Let’s all be honest, if the third party games disappear from PlayStation, no one will buy one.

    They aren’t Nintendo, their first party can’t carry them

      What led to Sony success with PlayStation is their partnership with third party studios.

      PS1 did well because of MGS, FF, sports games, and crash/Spyro. Only first party game that sold well for Sony was GT. The rest did okay at best.

      PS3 gotten away from it and it hurt them badly.

    Playstation's success was third parties. Nintendo's success was and still is first parties.

    The problem was letting an american design the PS4 and essentially turn it into an Xbox. From there on in, there’s just no point in keeping games in the consoles, as they can milk older games as if they were new by selling the PC versions. It isn’t really a bad strategy, and honestly they only port the slop anyway, call me when they actually start porting the Japan Studio stuff and their older Japanese back catalog.

    actual sony fan here
    iam getting tired of all the open world slop they released and plan to release in the future
    even the ones i liked somewhat were still incredibly shallow and boring and i wouldnt have played them if they werent part of my psn extra sub
    i want more linear games with great story and actual gameplay instead of doing ubisoft openslop shit pls more good games like last of us or uncharted 2
    returnal and ratchet and clank were definitly a step in the right direction but those didnt sell at all and it makes me fearful that sony exclusives are gonna be nothing more than slightly polished ubishart games
    i miss actual level design, proper flow and enemy placement so much...but normies love their openworld shit
