The PC porting quite literally started before the PS5 generation started, and we were full of them by the early years already. The message was pretty clear enough 3 years ago and there won't be any difference in consumer perception between now and 2027. You don't exactly need a PS5 right now to play SIE games, why is it still selling?
And do you seriously think it had more of a effect in sales than the fact that PS5 is starting at $450 versus PS4 starting at $300 back in the day? The price gap is even worse outside of the US.

The games eyes candy is doing a lot of heavy lifting so far but the combat is fun and the cutscenes are well directed. The opening cutscene had me hooked.

this narrative is so annoyoing.
Yeah, Eve looks amazing. But she is not even unrealistically sexy. She is just good looking and have fantastic outfits.
But people loose the game between those boobies. It's a great game and it would be good even if there was half the outfits... well there might've been half of outfits on release
In fact - I wonder how they space it out? The most showing outfits were late game unlocks and big side quests rewards like big fishing quest and cans collectiing rewards.
The costumes they released in last years... ARE WAY MORE REVEALING and they just give it to you. So why would anyone do fishing quest for worse bikini.
There is a "dlc+ seasonal" toggle in ps5 version but someone would need to compare if all the new outfits break the unlockables pacing

If someone ever wants to know what is meant with "echo chamber"...this is it.
You didnt ask the right girls. Did those girls have blue hair and a nose piercing?
A website that hates women, thinks attractive women can only be looked at "sexually" and for men to goon at. It seems like THEY'RE the mysogynistic ones.
That website literally thinks that women cannot look sexy and any sexy woman is unrealistic. Goes to show how out of touch in society those on that shitty website are.
I have zero friends who have blue hair or any other non-normal hair colour and nose piercings, so that's a big no there.

Dude has an account on reee and they love his guts over there, he must maintain a retarded stance in every occasion to please the crowd.
It is not destroying the brand. Spider-Man 2 sold 11 million on console. Sony knows that there games won't sell more on PC especially if they not releasing games day and date. Remember they are still priortizing console over PC. The port was trash on PC and Sony putting games on there is the long game. PS5 is surpassing PS4 in console sales so how has it destroyed the brand sir?

It wasn't that long ago that "sexual freedom" and "normalizing sexualization" was a very progressive/liberal mindset.
Like I understand concerns with objectifying women in general, but many, many posters on Era are literally just taking a "sexiness=evil" stance which is so odd, because that was very much so a Fox News conservative mom stance in the past.

Videogame industry is held to such bizarre standards. Why does Sydney Sweeney have a career? Is it because of her acting chops? If she looked like Bella Ramsey but retained all her acting talent would she still be so popular? This applies to dozens of A list Hollywood actresses over the years. And men as well.

Marvel is day and date. But even the non day and date games are coming out faster, one year max instead of 2-3.
Look, we'll see what happens but we've also seen this before, I am confused as to why peoples' heads are in the sand. Like I said, only Nintendo understands the value of the platform.

FYI, this is a Shift Up property/IP; SIE are just the publisher
I'm saying that, because inevitably (and I'm sure it's already been happening ITT), people will use this as rationale to argue SIE should do Day 1 Steam releases for non-GAAS AAA titles. And, yet again, I'm gonna shut those takes down by saying it'd be potentially catastrophic for a segment of their hardcore/high enthusiasts console base at a crucial junction of a generational transfer.
If it (likely) inevitably causes a dampening with that segment, it could have (gradually decreasing) knock-on effects to other, lower ARPU segments of their customer base. Especially now in a reality where Nintendo looks set to dominate Japan even more than they did with Switch 1, the PC handheld market continuously growing YOY thanks to pushes from Valve, and Microsoft now jumping in with Windows-powered Xbox devices that can play all SIE PlayStation ports (yes those Xboxes might "just be PCs" at a functional level, but optics-wise vast public majority will still think of an Xbox console now getting PlayStation games Day 1; that's how the Xbox brand name is still perceived by the mainstream).
In light of all that, I don't think a PS handheld that might not even feature native play of PS6 games, does enough to retain a critical segment of early adopters for a console generation where SIE also ports all their big hits to Windows & Steam, not to mention licensing out legacy IP to 3P to publish on traditional Xbox consoles (Series S & X are still technically available for sale) and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2. There will be a contraction at that point; question is how severe in the microcosm of hardcore early adopters, and how strongly does the domino effect cast to other customer segments.
Of course, all that could be avoided by...simply not enabling Day 1 ports of non-GAAS titles (and preferably, increasing the time frame between ports or simply not doing ports at all unless it's to a PS PC launcher in the future).
But more on-topic tho....big congrats to Stellar Blade with a strong debut. I know Shift Up's gotta be quite giddy right now, and I look forward to them & SIE's collaboration on the inevitable sequel (probably for PS6 gen).
It's because it's funny seeing the hypocrisy in their paper-thin "progressive" values on display.
This isn't even the best example of that, either.

And Marvel is about to be one of the biggest fighting games ever for Sony. I hate that you compare Sony and Microsoft because they do two different things when it comes to how they approach pc games. Lacklustre Exclusives, and Gamepass, A less powerful console being more expensive then their competitor at the time is what did Xbox in. Also in general Sony is a stronger brand worldwide for console gaming than Xbox.
Anyway Sony seems to be more strategic with how they release games on PC and they don't have a game pass service in which they make consumers buy there games .
A lot of people knew that Spider-Man 2 was coming for PC did it stop 11 million people from buying it?

But they need to buy a PC, and an expensive one, not something at 399
You don't want to play this game for the story or the exploration. It's too basic.
Play it as if it were another "Souls" release game...

Oh boy steam is filled with former console player which absolutely loved consoles at one point. I know people who actively hated pc gaming in the past which are on a deck or a new rig nowadays or at least planning to do so.
There will be an effect, it has to be seen if sony makes more money with dropping the ball on their own ecosystem. If they manage to make more money than they did everything the right way tho.

I'm one of those people. I've bought every PlayStation console and handheld going back to the PS1 when I was in high school. But if they're going to port all their single player games to Steam, I'm happy to just wait for them. I just did that with Stellar Blade even though I have a PS5 sitting here on my desk (collecting dust...)
So yes, there are some people like me who will skip the PS6 in favor of getting the games on PC. But how many of us are in that position? I suspect it's not a very big percentage of PS5 owners (less than 5%?). And with the slower output of exclusives, even if Sony were to stop porting to PC and try to force players to buy the console to get their games, it becomes harder to justify spending $500 on a console when that money could be spent on upgrading PC hardware.
I'd also point out that as the Xbox brand has been dwindling, some percentage of those players are migrating over to PlayStation. That's another factor that will offset those migrating from PlayStation to PC.

I didn't says she was black, doofus. I said you disparaged black women with that post that answered something no one asked.
Shaq had kids with black women, so not sure what you're talking about. I just find it comical how rofif made a simple remark, and you went ahead and proceeded to disparage black women for reasons that still escape me, but the more I read your posts, the more I see your true colors.thats why she is much more better looking from ur avg black woman.
And yeh, same reason why on avg asian men(including indian) are considered bottom of the barrel, same way black(not mixed, altho i know in the US they call them lightskin, true black, where both parents are dark as midnight look a lot different than that) are considered bottom of the barrel too.
Its not my data, its dating apps data, im from poland, we got 99,9% white ppl here so who cares what i think personally.
Is Shaq rasist to prefer white girls over his own race? Or is he simply rich and of high enough status to be able to chose the best only?

We will know for sure in the year 2028 and onwards. The damage is already done so it wouldn't change a thing anyway so let's see if they retain their console base with the ps6. I highly doubt it.
The top 10 games right now that are the most played on PS5 are all multiplatform games. First party games is not Sony's end all or be all. They will be fine with the PS6.

Of course they'll still sell hardware — just not as much as they used to. Like I said, maybe they make more money this way, but if you think it's safe or risk-free, that's delusional.

That's a realistic estimate. Elden Ring had 891k, but the question is if BB's meme power could take it even higher.
GT7 would do numbers too and probably beat Forza's 81k.
The only thing that will make them stop selling as much hardware is if there consoles become too expensive. As long as it's the cheaper option for gaming and less than PC they will be fine. At this point Sony has the console space. Microsoft games are coming to the platform they got timed first party exclusives and they will get all the third party games that can't be played on a Nintendo Switch. Plus the price of GPUs for pc is nuts right now. Which gives more reason to get PS5 if you want to game.

Fine don't equal making more money as the status quo. So let's wait for 2028 to 2030 if they damaged their brand or did the right thing.

Yeah, it's pretty pathetic to bring up that insufferable forum, but it will never not be funny at reading some of the comments on that bubble about this game's success. They genuinely thought the pc version was going to bomb due to denuvo. The level of copium they are consuming is way too funny to ignore. Especially with Stellar Blade, the game they absolutely hated the moment it got released last year. What's even more funny is that they have OT on that bubble where people just post things that they are having too much fun and tuning out the haters, while some users can't handle some users having fun with this game and have to bring up "the game is anti women". The cognitive dissonance over this game on that bubble is just comical. It's too hard not to witness it.

It is destroying the brand, everyone on PC hates Sony for some reason, its either because they force PSN or block countries or some other dumb shit Sony does. Then thers the fact that when your 1st party games end up going to PC thers less reasons to buy your current or next console. Same thing i told about MS the moment they started doing day 1 game launches on PC was the moment xbox as a console became irrelevant.
I have been gaming mostly on consoles, even owning PCs, my PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 were my main gaming machines as many games i wanted to play could only be played there. Now is not the case, even having to wait a year or so. I got a new PC recently and have no plans to purchase a PS6 when it comes out all thanks for Sony PC initiative.
Sony still gonna be sucessfull in the console space, casual players will still buy PS consoles even if there were no exclusives just for the cheaper entry and ease of pug and play. The problem is that these casuals also buy a game or 2 the entire gen, if they dont stick just playing F2P games.
Sony makes more Money in Software and Services more so then hardware. Right now China is becoming the biggest market for gaming. The PC market is way bigger than console over there. Which is one of the reasons they started putting games on PC to penetrate that market and sell more software. Stellar Blade and Wukong sales have proven that.

That's the whole point, when people switch over they still gonna buy 1p games on steam but they will do the same with 3p games and mtx. Like I said we have to wait a few more years to see if their strategy is paying off. There is no way to know rn.

Nothing earth shattering in CCU here with huge franchises
Yet
Sony went from $35M → $80M → $250M → $450M from 2020 to 2023 (so pre Helldivers 2, which now it put at $700M for that year of release) from so-so CCUs that peoples were freaking out about.
That's a lot of money for ports
