PlayStation is still making games?
This is what happens when companies become too comfortable.
Your loss.
And going forward, Sony won’t get my money
Oh no, I’m so sad I won’t be able to play their diverse library of third person action adventure games with linear narrative and light stealth and RPG elements!
No problem Mr. CEO emulation will do this for you.
That’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
Tap for spoiler
Valve has made the console model irrelevant. This is Sony officially giving up on the gaming market.
Valve still hasn’t figured out physical copies and reselling.
But then, maybe they eventually will, or Sony and Nintendo give up on physicals (as they seem to want to)
or Sony and Nintendo give up on physicals (as they seem to want to)
Sony was already very clearly migrating in that direction since the PS4, but didn’t go all in thanks to microslop shooting itself in the foot with the Xbox 1 reveal
nintendo is so reliant on pokemon, People are still buying the slop game freak is producing.
Both companies are leaning hard on digital only sales. Between the standard PS5 shipping without a disc drive and Switch 2 cartridges being little more than download keys the physical retail market is in its last dying gasps. Steam handily has both companies beat in terms of game catalog availability and affordability. A few console exclusives might be enough to maintain steady sales, but it’s an obvious trend that PC gaming is gaining dominance with third party publishers.
that was largerly due to the fact that consoles were getting more expensive and that it was getting to the point you could build a computer, that would look better than console, for the same or cheaper than console.
but the whole AI bullshit kinda blew that ship out of the water… so Consoles may start gaining ground again as the affordable gaming option (compared to paying a console price for ram, a console price for storage, and 2 console prices for a GPU)
Right now, Indie games are wiping the asses of big industry games. Megabonk, Coal LLC, you name it. Singular people putting out content getting thousands of purchases. I know they have a team, but Relogic selling 70m copies of Terraria?
wiping the asses
Kicking the asses of

wiping the floor with.
That’s funny because I’m not coming to PlayStation.
I guess they just sell less then.
PC players arent starving for games. We’re drowning in them
Dude, the last 10 games I bought haven’t even been installed yet. Kiddo and I are still trying to wrap up other stuff.
I could buy no new games for the rest of my life and still not get around to completing everything in my library (and I’m excluding bundled games I have no intention of playing).
And in 10 years time, all of these exclusives will be available via emulation even if they never officially leave the console.
plus you can choose to play 1 game until you get bored of it. not so for console where you have to keep chasing the next new thing that comes along.
It sucks, but it makes sense.
So we got grifted by Bungie and need you to buy consoles, guys.
Bungie convincing Sony that they were worth 3.6 billion dollars is the grift of the decade. Sony either did no research or they really are the dumbest, most gullible motherfuckers on the planet.
Bungie played an absolute blinder by signing up with Activision all those years ago as all the shitty monetisation they pulled got blamed on Bobby K.
Nope, turns out Bungie was just that shitty the whole time.
With halo and the staff that made it, you could argue they’d be worth that much but they didn’t.
LOL On the cusp of the Steam Machine releasing sometime this year, they got grifted hard by Bungie, Sony needs the money (its easy money for them). Oh well, its not a major loss for me. Won’t be buying their proprietary box and use their easy to hack PSN service.
It seems that the last great Playstation was in fact Playstation 3.
