PlayStation 5: Thread 05

[Golgo]

A couple? These clowns banked on the assumption that the market could sustain ten Sony-developed GAAS platforms. Not one has succeeded.

Astonishing that so much dev talent across this entire console generation has been pissed away with nothing to show for it. Not sure how much pull he really had, but Jim Ryan was such a consummate bell end for being the public face of advocating all this as the direction forward.

I don’t remember seeing any interviews with Ryan saying this is the future and I’m putting all of Sonys eggs in this basket as I’m 100% sure on this.

Even still, whoever did clearly loves a bandwagon and has a s**t eating grin with an overpriced tacky suit.

But your 100% on the time and money wasted here, half a generation pissing around wasting money on crap like Concord.

Given its 2025, it reeks of pandemic thinking

I thought it was understood/accepted that Ryan was the evangelist and prime mover for this vis-a-vis Playstation. Article here about how Sony top brass were allegedly cheesed off with him over it: https://www.eurogamer.net/sonys-live...dustry-insider

Stephanie Sterling also did a vid about it this week in relation to latest cancellations.

I also remember Ryan pushing it hard. When he got the boot, I assumed it was because of it.

Forza Horizon 5 confirmed for PS5 this Spring

So it's official: X Box is dead, Microsoft killed it with their incompetence.

First of the last three nails hammered for sure. There's literally no selling point to Xbox hardware moving forward for the unconverted unless, perhaps and unlikely, Sony opts not to make a handheld SKU. Might have been workable if the system was steady but as its in heavy decline they're definitely transitioning out.

[wakka]

Definitely a landmark moment. That franchise is really Xbox's crown jewel. Now we know what was floating around in Spencer's mind recently as he declared in interviews 'No red lines' on what would be ported - he knew that this announcement was only days away.

You would honestly have to be quite mental to be shopping for a console now and select a Series X over a PS5. There really is no reason to.

[Neon Ignition]

Yep, though we realistically know what's going to happen I think the eventual PS5/NS2 announcement of Gears E-Day will be the breaking point for even the most Xbox devout. Game Pass isn't drawing people to the console so next-gen they're not going to be shifting any notable unit sales, it's Final Countdown time for GP at that point.

Starfield and Killer Instinct are said to be the next titles making the jump onto PS5. In addition to that Fable is speculated to be on PS5 on its release day as well possibly NS2

[fishbowlhead]

Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha, hilarious.

I’m glad they weren’t able to buy their way to owning at least 1 entire industry, money wasn’t enough in this case, good.

[hudson]

Nice. Keep em coming!

Hope we get Live Arcade games too. Every Extend Extra and the like...
