PS always sells 2:1 ish every gen this is nothing new, and with the expense of creating AAA now this is not enough for Sony anymore obviously... people that think Sony won't start putting their games in more places are delusional. It's only a matter of time. Nintendo will keep making cheap games on low cost hardware that sell like gangbusters... and now that Sony and MS are gonna start putting their games everywhere Switch 2 is only gonna benefit from all the added software support. There is no touching Nintendo but Sony/MS are pretty much done as we traditionally know them. Matter of time.

I'd welcome it if they did. Steam would be multitudes better than Xbox for competition.
To be a real challenger globally, they would have to massively expand their organization, logistics and business model. They are still less than 400 employees I believe? But it could be a potential long term play if they put their minds to it.
 
The cope from Western media is just fucking hilarious at this point 😂

They’d rather cope and say consoles are over than admit that Xbox got destroyed by Playstation. When it was SEGA that got run out of the business we weren’t seeing this kind of idiotic cope but with an American company like MS and we are seeing shitty articles like this.

MS got their shit kicked in and it didn’t start now. MS was doomed right from E3 2013 when they came out with TV, TV, TV and DRM and they’ve been fighting to stay above water since then. MS did this to themselves and the shill gaming media that cheered them on when they continued to destroy the Xbox brand didn’t help either.

"Losing Two Generations of Console Sales Shifted the Focus to Quality Games"

Excuse me??? Is not the focus always on quality games??



If Xbox is dead, PS5 is more than half dead.
Ironic that the two most petty people in this thread are your typical pcmr goons.

These people aren't "master" anything. It's always the ones with middling/low end hardware that behave like this.

Bitter brokies who can't afford the additional purchase of a console in order to be free and play everything that they want to without barriers.

Microsoft went to consoles business cause their biggest concern is windows pc, anything else is secondary. There's no cope when they themselves haven't shown their biggest interest as Sony and Nintendo do to their consoles. Sega in a completely different situation where they pulled the trigger the hard way cause everyone legitimately cared about Sega.

"Console" and "without barriers" on the same sentence...

What a garbage article

Its the End of an Era for PlayStation​

It isn't the end of anything for PS: this generation they are having record revenue, profit and userbase.

No winners or loser
There's a clear loser: Xbox hardware, who is dying.

There are two clear winners, who are breaking records on their area of expertise: PS in the home console part and Nintendo in the portable consoles part.

Xbox hardware is done, that's all. But won't change much because it was pretty irrelevant for the console market. Nintendo will continue in portables and Sony will continue in home consoles.

Microsoft Needed to Change Its Strategy
Losing Two Generations of Console Sales Shifted the Focus to Quality Games
Xbox didn't lose only 2 generations: they lost all their 4 generations

PlayStation Has Almost All But Abandoned Exclusivity
Hope you enjoyed Gran Turismo 7 and Spider-Man 2 in Xbox and Switch.

You would have no barriers if you just purchased hardware required to play the games you want to.

Would save you behaving as you have done throughout the entirety of this thread.
I don't remember any PS5/XBS game I want and would not save my behaviour that is to have fun with some warriors.
 
The war never ends for these people. They just change uniforms so they can keep fighting.

Yeah and the xbox side for sure seems to have the most toxic fanboys with a cult like mentality. Just look at how they adored Phil spencer as though he was a religious leader or some shit. Look at how many crazy influencers they have on social media. You couldn't even be a normal xbox fan who would criticise them without being attacked and called a PS fanboy. I guarantee I've put more money and time into the xbox ecosystem than these cultists.

Sony mobbed the floor with the Xbox hardware for the past 24 years that even the biggest tech company in the world that is MS couldn’t beat them, and then we have some random idiot saying no winners.. lol ok .

No there is a winner . It’s Sony . They have the whole floor for themselves. And not because they are smart or anything. But because MS is stupid. Just when they were about to get the good games from all the studios they bought, they decided to spread their legs like a ho and give up.

Xbox lost...but there are no winners or losers.
Also they did this because the strategy failed, but it doesn't matter because obviously the market will follow our lead

"an imaginary, either very large or very small creature in traditional Scandinavian stories, that has magical powers and lives in mountains or caves"

That is the origin of Troll.

And again, what is the correlation of MS focus on quality with the rest?

The origin of a word and the current meaning are two entirely different things. We don't use words based on their origins, we use them based on what they mean today.

You stated the focus should always have been on quality games. If that's the primary thing that concerns you then you wouldn't only have a gaming PC and display behaviour akin to that of a spoilt brat.

How not if PC is the only platform that can provide the highest quality??? And I don't have only PC, what made you so sure about the opposite??
