I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Is it ?PC is the place to play! Jump in, for the players
Horrible ports
UE stutter fest
Ridiculous gpu price and not stopping
Require high end pc to stabilize games ?
Everybody can just jump in ?

Your boy already put up an article.
Sony wants to expand "PlayStation Studios games beyond PlayStation hardware" — hiring to partner with Xbox, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and more
Sony is following Microsoft's multiplatform strategy, looking to acquire a bigger third-party publishing footprint across PC and even rival consoles.

It's funny how even though Sony is always in the lead, they copy Microsoft's playbook.

It was around a month ago, probably posted here as well, but i've read it elsewhere. I didn't pay attention who at sony said it, i just remember telling myself that DUH exclusives matters, otherwise there's no reason to even think of buying a PS over a pc.

That's interesting, because Nintendo was systematically pushed out of the home console market since the N64. The Switch is just their handheld market plus 10M from their remaining Home Console audience. In this process, what?10-15 years; Nintendo has lost a lot of Third Party Support. In other words, Nintendo's first-party titles are the lifeblood of Nintendo's business. between 60%-80% of software sales revenue comes from First party while 30%-40% for Play Station.
So, (and I think this is the main issue with PlayStation). Nintendo just announced that they are exploring ways to make games faster/cheaper.
Nintendo Exploring Ways To Reduce High Cost Of Games
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa spoke of ways to deal with the rising cost of Nintendo Switch 2 games.
I don't think Nintendo games cost $300+ million to develop and market. Meanwhile, PlayStation keeps pushing graphical diminishing returns with stale gameplay. They are being financially forced to put their games on other platforms, but the real issue is the need to create more interesting and fresh games.
So, as of now, Nintendo primarily relies on their first-party games to market their platform and drive its storefront. But if we assume that over the next 10–15 years, Nintendo nurtures a stronger and healthier third-party ecosystem, things will remain the same.

1- It devaules the brand
2- It gives less reasons for ppl to purchase a Playstation if you can play the same games in something you already own.
3- With less hardware sales Sony makes less money as they have to give up 30% of they own games to other stores and also lose costumers for they own store where they have been selling 3rd party games and DLC and taking a 30% cut and locking ppl into services like PS+ to play online.
4- Less money to invest in they own studios can lead to massive layoffs (See actual Microsoft) and loss of quality on they own 1st party games.
You can bookmark this post and watch it again some years later if Sony really goes full 3rd party.

You're not the intended target, they're looking to expand and get revenue from a new audience that isn't on their platforms.

This bitch-ass motherfucker. I just want Xbox to be erased from existence just for these parasites to die out

If you have doubts, the link to the job listing is in the OP, you can read it for yourself.
I read through the listing and, unless I missed something, there's no mention of multiplayer or games as a service, nor is there any coded language pointing to this being exclusively for GaaS games. There's really nothing here that hints at what games are being ported, as far as I can tell.

PlayStation is fucking done if they do this, and it's going to be a shock if that idiot Totoki doesn't push for it.
Why PS is doing this? Old bats like Totoki who don't give two shits about the long term viability of the company. The progenitors of this borked multiplatformist strategy just laid off >1000 people, and they're not done. I see Sony wants to get in line.
Plenty of "analyst" pro-MS propaganda doesn't mean the "industry was always moving in this direction". The industry is headed for the toilet, and it will be impossible to salvage if PS goes down.

What stage of denial are we at currently?
That's probably what the Bandai-Namco partnership is for, primarily. I had a feeling it would bear little to nothing in new exclusives for PlayStation which is why I didn't focus too much on the announcement itself.
Dunno how you guys can keep doing this. At this point I'd rather be prepared for the "inevitable" and be proven wrong, than deny so many signs only to finally be proven wrong. One will hit much harder than the other, I think you can guess which that is.
Microsoft prayed and willed for the industry to go this way for years since they failed as a console platform holder.
Sony & SIE are compromised by many of the same investors & shareholders who have stakes in Microsoft, so if they are "going this way" it was inevitable due to that factor alone.
Nintendo and Valve are doing more than fine with a bevy of genuine exclusives on their own platforms. Same with virtually all of the TV/movie streaming companies, funnily enough.

Many state that this only "increases options for consumers", but for many reasons the paradoxical reality is that this reduces options in equivalent measure, if not more so.

How many first-party games Sony released this year?
Playstation is basically just a storefront like Steam.

I'll keep saying what i've been saying because sony/playstation have done nothing nor said anything to signal that they're putting single player 1st party on xbox. They said nonstop that live service games were going everywhere and they will, but we've seen 0 movement on putting their other games on xbox.

They won't.
True, but Nintendo has never put cucks in charge, only big dicked champions that bang models and care about the Nintendo legacy more than themselves.Ten years ago, I would have said the exact same thing about Microsoft and Sony.
Sony and MS only employ people betas.
Let's be real if Sony could have an app that has all there games and services on there and can be placed on any piece of hardware I think they would do it in a heartbeat. Hardware is always selling at a lost at launch and they don't recoup the money until they get a big enough base buying into their network and services and into their ecosystem. They are definitely watching Microsoft navigate and trying to avoid the failures they see them doing. But one thing is for sure they know expansion is important in the long run. Since games aren't getting any cheaper to make at the level they want to make them.

It recently came out that Sony makes over 50% of revenue off of 10 games(gaas). I wouldn't be surprised if they just open everything up like Xbox, with multiple store fronts next generation. So much is coming from F2P games. I thought they would become more exclusive, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Playstation will continue to bleed console users if they have a closed ecosystem

Also a key benefit, any online game has a bigger pool of gamers to keep it alive. Cross platform MP gaming is practically a norm now when last gen online user bases were often isolated to each platform.
But when it comes to ecosystem walled gardens, typically Sony gamers are the biggest defenders. I dont see PC gamers going ape shit tons of legacy PC franchises have gone console the past 20 years. I dont see Xbox gamers caring that much their games are on PC, and lately have been porting to PS.
I truly dont think the avg Nintendo gamer buying full priced Mario and Zelda games 5 years after launch would really care if their games suddenly showed up on other consoles or PC. Given how many Nintendo gamers there are, you dont even get a lot of Nintendo gaming chat on the big gaming forums. Nor do you see gamers care much about talking about mobile. It's skewed to PC, PS, Xbox gaming.
So if Nintendo games went multiplatform, I dont suddenly see tons of Nintendo gamers talking ecosystem battles. They just have fun playing first party games in isolation and not really get wrapped up on platform wars, whose sold the most, which game franchises sell the most, whose games games consistently get the best review scores where just about every first party game gets an 80-90+ score, or which company makes the high profit margins. Technically, they could swing those dicks in everyone's face, but they dont.

If there is one thing Xbox has taught everyone its never say never. But the difference is MS has form for saying one thing and doing the opposite, whereas Sony up to now says very little so isn't as exposed on that front. Personally it still looks like the tentpole single player titles will stay exclusive for a period of time, 12 months or more. GAAS/Multiplayer is obviously looking at changes though.
I have a suspicion some of this is driven by rising hardware costs and the expectation there will be fewer people covering all bases hardware wise next generation and an expectation of a single platform choice for more gamers. Might be biased on that because it's how I'm approaching the next generation. No way will I buy multiple platforms.

Exactly, now give less reasons for ppl to purchase a Playstation, and your userbase start shrinking, and all the money they were making from they own PS Store and services like PS+ starts shrinking as well. The big money maker was never the games they sell, the 1st party games and the exclusive deals they made was reasons to buy a Playstation to get more users spending on they store. Take the exclusives away and you are setting your business to failure.

Yes, in an investor fireside chat they confirmed that they consider exclusives important. Them hiring a account manager for their multiplatform games doesn't change this. They have had multiplatform games already and nothing has changed on that front. Exclusives are important and they have some multiplatform games and a strategy to release later on them. Nothing new is happening right now.
