Golgo 13
The Man With The Golden Dong
For reference, this is a VERY pro-Playstation podcast by some very reasonable and smart folks, one of the few places whose voices of concern I'd actually PAY ATTENTION to. These aren't some random shitheels, I think a ton of people particularly game enthusiasts, feel this way.

"future is grim."
Totally not clickbait
The overreaction and hyperbole are real nowadays.
"you can't announce something like PS3 and PS Vita outage through a forum post and an email"
What do you want, a state funeral? A bag of cookies? For goodness' sake, these primadonnas have to overdramatize *everything*

Yes, the clip has a clickbaity tittle, their opinions are not. It is a clip from a podcast and not a clip made to sell the the tittle."future is grim."

Whatever bad points Sony has been grilled so far are all valid because they've actually happened.
Xbox's big negative point in 2013 was DRM. Remember all the shit about used games and the submarine guy who cant play games underwater without an internet check. And that didn't even happen as MS pulled it before people bought the system.

stuff like this is why I come to gaf, lol.
OT though, Sony definitely seems a bit lost/egotistical.
I think the most reasonable thing to do is wait until Sony's E3 (whatever it's called). If they don't drop some bombs then I think it's time to worry.
Me personally, I'll get a PS5 at some point because of Ratchet and it's my preferred console for Resident Evil. I don't buy too many modern titles so I'm not the ideal consumer for this but I'm definitely getting pre-PS3 release vibes from Sony. Xbox is definitely more exciting right now in regard to the moves their making.

They dont do E3's anymore. They skipped the last two and arent doing this year's either.
But they do have State of Play videos which come out at random times. So right now, those are their biggest showcase videos.

Yep. Best (record) selling next gen system by a country mile. Only next gen system with exclusives, with many more coming this year. Demand far outstripping supply. A steady stream of massive games coming.
Dire, dire, situation.
The Xbox though. Lots of good press with tons of promises. Never been in that situation with them before.

I agree with everything they are saying. Now. Is funny how Colin is using (unconsciously) the same technique that every drama queen uses when they try to justify and validate their opinion-

I beg to differ. It goes much beyond the title. I watched the clip and goodness, it *drools* overdramatic rhetoric and taking themselves way, way too seriously. It's completely out of touch with the fact that they're talking about a gaming product. I guess Colin's too used to drone on about politics nowadays.

To be fair, it's a gaming podcast. IF there is a time to be overdramatic about gaming, that is when i think.

He makes some great points. Always been a fan of Colin outside of his stupid Mass Effect 3 IGN street video.

Yeah.
Jeff Ross said : Sony is being smart for not responding for this BS as whatever they say and will only give these people more attention for spreading their crap

Gamingbolt (big PS centric youtube channel and website) and IGN both recently did similar videos. This is definitely not a bunch of MS fanboys and angry Sony nerds starting shit up on the message boards.
of course, Sony's marketing is completely silent. God forbid they show their face outside of the two digital conferences they have every year.
Jim Ryan's background is marketing too so he must think that being quiet and let this blow over is a good strategy. And maybe it is, but it's old school thinking that simply doesnt fly in the age of social media. As much as I hate Phil Spencer's decision to double the price of XBL Gold, it was refreshing to see them do a 180 so fast. It just paints a picture of the leadership being completely out of touch with their consumer base.

LOOOOOOOOL What about Nintendo? I mean people wanna baby cry about Sony when they think it's ok to pass for the same exact reasons on Nintendo! How funny is that, thanks for the moment!
oooooh what about Nintendo, I'm so concern, will they have games.... will they have after that.... what level of trolling is that!
Oooooh what about Apple, I'm so concern, what about the next iPhone...
And... Sacred Symbols! Is that for real? They want to be taken seriously? Sacred Symbols!

You mean that same site that clickbaited almost daily for years about the Xbox One's ESRAM asking about it to pretty much any studio janitor they could find?
Gamingbolt has only one focus, and it's whatever gives them clicks, literally at any cost.

Colin has been around long time and is very well connected. He used to work at IGN. Sacred Symbols is one of the biggest if not the biggest PlayStation podcast. He also part owner of a game development studio.
Not sure why some people are saying he's a nobody. It's not just "another random" podcast.

Ask yourself this. Did MS pulled it because they were nice or because they were grilled to the ground for wanting to have this?
And no. DRM wasn't the only negative point of MS back in those days
Even better than the IGN video. Clapped every second in this too.
Well when he says he turns on his PS5 and doesn't know what to play, that's accurate. I'm just playing Days Gone at 60fps right now because there really isn't anything worth playing right now on the PS5.

I give Sony a pass for at least another couple months until E3 to show us some more. Both of these consoles got booty blasted pretty hard by the pandemic. We know that fucked up the development for games on platforms that every developer was already familiar with.
If E3 passes without some bombs dropped it might be time for Sony fans to wonder wtf is going on. I was originally planning on getting the PS5 sometime this summer, but unless we see some more exclusives I'll just wait another 6 months or so.

Sounds like you're emotionally invested in these articles. Should see someone about that lol
Look, even if one wants to acknowledge all these concerned opinions...
Their console sales havent suffered yet. Thats usually the first sign....
I could see if there was some type of metric or proof that things were affecting them.
When we start seeing them actually be effected, then we can revisit these topics.
Right now, they are all one big 'who are you talking to?' meme.
