1. It's an 3rd party software only chart to give Sony the best possible condition
2. It's not PS5 software sales, but PS4+PS5 software sales of which PS4 takes 75%
3. Switch still sold more 3rd party games in 2018 than PS4 and PS5 did in 2021
Yeah, but that counts also nintendo handheld software sales which are much cheaper than actual console games so they sold much more in the past. And it doesn't count digital sales, which majority of Playstation games sales are these days. On top of that nintendo releases same nostalgiabait shit and bing bing wahoo that normies buy so it is not a fair comparison when you put a more niche hardcore games against mainstream nintendo.
Add on top of all the propaganda japan an nintendo pushes out about Sony and the situation is understandable. Sony decided to give stuff to gamers so they had to drop mainstream audience of normies and kids. I think it is worth it, because they have been getting record profit in countries that actually matter.
>On top of that nintendo releases same nostalgiabait shit and bing bing wahoo that normies buy so it is not a fair comparison when you put a more niche hardcore games against mainstream nintendo.
Nintendo does both. They've been supporting JRPG devs and guys like Platinum for action games. It's where PS1/PS2 era Sony used to be. Now Sony is just immersed fully in Western movie shit.

>Now Sony is just immersed fully in Western movie shit
Oh frick off with this old fake news shit. Horizon and DeS remake have much more gameplay than some shitty menu simulators. Sony also pushes graphics and performance over appealing to mainstream audience. But nintendo pushes out cheap "easy" games and consoles. Nintendo is the fast food of gaming industry, while Playstation is a 5-star restaurant.
I rather pay for quality and different new taste experiences. Your highlight is a new happymeal toy.
That is why Sony is much more respected and important compared to nintendo

That just a damn lie and you now it.
>On top of that nintendo releases same nostalgiabait shit and bing bing wahoo that normies buy
but who doesn´t in these days?
snoy has spyro, crash, spiderman, demon souls, all nostalgia grabs.
kotor for the old school SW fans was a good move but i doubt that the most hardcore fans will redip a poorly ported PC classic into a artifically rare overpriced brick.
then you have the TLOU remaster, i don´t even know where to start shit on that idea.
everyone is baiting with nostalgia, kid, because more and more people start to realize how half assed software is currently.
Japan has some of the most affordable housing in the developer world anon. Cheaper than Europe unless you eastern, cheaper than commonwealth countries and cheaper than the US. It just so happens that Tokyo is one of the most expensive in the world, so go outside of Tokyo.
He looks young. If this guy is a student in Tokyo, really not a bad place to live. You don't get that much better in other parts of the world unless your parents are super rich.
Looks kind of comfy to be honest.
Just do your work and whatnot at the computer, play a few games and when you need to stretch or whatever, you actually have an incentive to go outside for a bit because you'd have more space there to do whatever.
>tiny room >still found a place to stuff a 50 inch TV and PS5 in
Ohnononononono PS5-is-only-failing-in-Japan-because-it's-too-big-bros... we got too wienery!
i'm no snoy but just because it doesn't sell moronicly high anymore doesn't mean it's dead. the PS2 was a fluke because it was a DVD player. every normalgay still thinks "playstation" when they think video games.
The weeb game market is fricking weak right now that's why. Xbox has pretty much all the weebshit they want to replay with nothing on the horizon for PS5 by western shit. This gen fricking sucks. If there ever was a time to explore your backlog, it's now.
Because Playstation is a California thing now. Sony is still headquartered in Japan but the Playstation brand isn't. I'd say cue xenophobia but really, Jim Ryan's doing a fine job of fricking things up with or without that.
>Because Playstation is a California thing now
This. It's because the PS brand is now headquartered in the US, so it will basically kill the company. All the good parts of PS/Sony were because it was Japan based. This is the first time I've never bought a Playstation since PS1 because there's literally no need to.
People say that Japan is a handheld market but in reality their taste is quite different from the west, home console games still sold like MHW, DQXI, KH3 and FF7R.
Sony aren't interested in being a platform anymore they want to rely on a handful of self-published titles. This is why you see them pushing their own brand games like GoW and Horizon so hard and giving those developers millions in free marketing/advertising, they want to have meaningful mascots like Nintendo, like Blizzard etc. What's funny is this is the path doomsayers were saying Nintendo would have to eventually take (give up on being a platform, just focus on the games) and Sony has taken it a step further by already starting to multiplatform its exclusive games.
This focus on a handful of overly polished, focus group created games is obviously completely contrary to how creatives work in Japan which is about nurturing creativity. In Japan anyone who is creative can find a way to get their media out to the masses, if you like to draw then even a NEET in his parents basement can make a manga about his fantasies and get it published. Then the only thing between you and success is the audience reaction. Which is why you can have incel rape fantasies getting funding and even anime. It's also why Japan still has a lot of famous named developers like Kojima/YoshiP/Yoko Taro whereas in in the West its usually the company or head of company that's known instead. Because creativity is too filtered to allow individuals to shine.
The titles they have is the kind that will sell in the millions to normies every time they release one. I honestly think they paniced hard when Microsoft bought activation because appealing to the casual gamer that buys up the yearly COD title is exactly where they want their revenue to come from. No TES will hurt too.
It's not being trashed by normies anon and got generally favorable reviews. The first one also sold several million on Steam alone. It's not a 10million+ IP like Monster Hunter/Elden Ring but it's comparable to Bloodborne/Earlier Souls titles. And while "bundled" sales are scummy for data, Sony still pays for every bundled copy (at a heavily reduced price). So yeah.. more than good enough even if that fricking irritates me. But it's largely because Sony gives them 10's of millions in free marketing because she's becoming Sony's "poster girl" and they haven't got any other girls to show off anymore.
Honestly never met a person IRL who complained about the sexy maid costume in their favorite anime rpg being censored, and if i did I would probably laugh. I know nips are spergy but no way does a sizeable percentage of the population actually care about this.
You’re delusional. Sony cares because it doesn’t loog good for them when gaming magazines publish articles about how they publish games sexualizing 10(000) year old girls. The vast majority of players don’t give a shit either way outside of turbo losers you find on Ganker
Mobile game kill console in Japan
Japan brand lost their stand againts Cali brand
Cali brand become the Boss
Cali brand is racist againts Japan
PS died in Japan
all sony does care about is shipping their mediocre games for little dev costs.
they heavly invest in marketing and let the normies gobble up their shit.
but instead of increasing, their sales are decreasing, that´s why you see their shit suddenly on PC aswell.
they need every fricking sale because buying journous and paying their codemonkeys overseas cant be paid by gaypride so they have to make some dough.
japanese are very aware of this, especially if you consider that sony sold their soul to commiefornia because they expected a massive increase in users since the cattle over in israeliteassey are easy to control. slap a Black person on the cover and it will sell, is their credo now.
that´s why japan abandoned this cancer and if you like games, you should aswell.
Baseless claims made without proof or a source.
Not bumped.
[-1 upvoats]
famitsu sales :^)
Still another baseless claim without source or proof.
Stop necroing dead threads
[-1 upvoats]
Eh, I like it.
Here. 2021 had the worst software sales in the history of the brand
This means the brand died huh? Guess Switch died in 2018 then since it seems like it sold as much software as PS5 did this year.
moronic shitposters.
>American education at it again!
>console war shitposter copes again

nips gave up on snoy
the other way around.
Idk if it did or not. None of my Japanese friends own a Playstation but that doesn't mean anything, ultimately.
Suck Fony
Seethe more, Xbox troony.
the PS5 is too big for the average slave wage nip
That wagecage looks comfy
that still beats living in a college dorm or splitting rent with a roommate any day
Ugh, hope that's not my future (some family in japan, and actually might be if I ditch the US).
houses in japan are ridiculously cheap. just don't live in fricking tokyo
Japan has some of the most affordable housing in the developer world anon. Cheaper than Europe unless you eastern, cheaper than commonwealth countries and cheaper than the US. It just so happens that Tokyo is one of the most expensive in the world, so go outside of Tokyo.
I'll never take having a house for granted but I find this kind of lifestle appealing. I just like having a backyard more than having a larger house.
small house with a large property is much better than the alternative imo
>never stop exploring
You think he managed to explore his entire mansion?
Want to live like this, but in the bunker, cave or anywhere without neighbours.
He looks young. If this guy is a student in Tokyo, really not a bad place to live. You don't get that much better in other parts of the world unless your parents are super rich.
This isn't a typical apartment, and here you can easily fit a PS5.
Looks kind of comfy to be honest.
Just do your work and whatnot at the computer, play a few games and when you need to stretch or whatever, you actually have an incentive to go outside for a bit because you'd have more space there to do whatever.
Shid, bros....Japanese hamster cage apartments are real...
How does he not eat everything?

Weeb market is thriving on Switch. Much more in Japan, since they also have uncensored stuff.
Americans murder everything they touch.
because metal gear solid was lost from sony's grasp, then every other sony exclusive was lost. now they have absolutely nothing
no gaems
PlayStation simply doesn't want them anymore.
Because Playstation is a California thing now. Sony is still headquartered in Japan but the Playstation brand isn't. I'd say cue xenophobia but really, Jim Ryan's doing a fine job of fricking things up with or without that.

They swapped Maru (Circle) and Batsu (X)
PS is suffering pure hubris right now similar to xbox 10 years ago.
sony is an american based company out of california. why would they care about japan? lol

They seriously need to get better titles then.
The titles they have is the kind that will sell in the millions to normies every time they release one. I honestly think they paniced hard when Microsoft bought activation because appealing to the casual gamer that buys up the yearly COD title is exactly where they want their revenue to come from. No TES will hurt too.
Do we have reliable data showing that Horizon is actually selling well ? That game is being trashed non stop on the internet.
It's not being trashed by normies anon and got generally favorable reviews. The first one also sold several million on Steam alone. It's not a 10million+ IP like Monster Hunter/Elden Ring but it's comparable to Bloodborne/Earlier Souls titles.

It didn't
Because they swapped the X and O inputs around
No one can get one outside of America without paying exorbitant prices
Censorship in games
Woke bullshit after they moved to California
Even Nintendo has said no to the overkill censorship PlayStation have been doing.
I live in a random bumfrickville in italy and was able to pick one up in stores last august.
Honestly never met a person IRL who complained about the sexy maid costume in their favorite anime rpg being censored, and if i did I would probably laugh. I know nips are spergy but no way does a sizeable percentage of the population actually care about this.
If they didn't care why remove it?
Oh, that's right. People care.
You’re delusional. Sony cares because it doesn’t loog good for them when gaming magazines publish articles about how they publish games sexualizing 10(000) year old girls. The vast majority of players don’t give a shit either way outside of turbo losers you find on Ganker
no games
Moving the brand to California gave it AIDS and it died.
Because Vtubers started promoting PCs and playing games on Steam instead.
Mobile game kill console in Japan

They don't care about american gender politics and since those are the only kind of games released by sony there is no reason to own a playstation
