Easy because they are idiots out there who think real world is like a video game and if the industry crashes everything will "reset"…..so fucking idiotic.I don't really understand some of you guys. It's like you if you hated the hobby. Why have such an opinion when we've had data that says otherwise?
Wait didn't Sony shut down multiple studios, layed off 100 hundreds of employees and cancelled 10 plus games ??? What makes them any better then Microsoft
He is on a mission to SonyToo the situation just seen the thread he found & bumpedYou can't be serious.......
The only thing crashing is GAF's love for this hobby.PlayStation and Nintendo are more profitable than ever right now. This isn't a crash.
Dead serious tell me the difference instead of Fanboy BSYou can't be serious.......
No I'm making a Non fanboy point that it seems most on here are saying one is a screw up and the other is not yet both have done the same thing this gen except Xbox has released more games in the last few yrsHe is on a mission to SonyToo the situation just seen the thread he found & bumped![]()
Looking at all industries that MS has left, more likely than not the video games industry will prosper like never before after MS officially exits the console businessJust say you're an Xbox fanboy and your world has crashed in the past few days.
This has nothing to do with the industry. The industry is healthy despite Xbox.
Why would you want less choices what exactly is Sony doing better ? Please don't say moneyLooking at all industries that MS has left, more likely than not the video games industry will prosper like never before after MS officially exits the console business
You clearly missed the " Worst PlayStation Generation ever" thread & all the PlayStation needs to fire Hermen Hulst posts & the PlayStation wasted 400 million dollars on Concord & GaaS is going to bankrupt Sony commentsNo I'm making a Non fanboy point that it seems most on here are saying one is a screw up and the other is not yet both have done the same thing this gen except Xbox has released more games in the last few yrs
I don't want less choice, I want better choice. What Xbox has done is failing to advance the industry in any direction, because there's no vision there. Xbox did great when it first came out and brought online to the masses, and then Gears with the cover system, but since then really nothing but trying to be.Why would you want less choices what exactly is Sony doing better ? Please don't say money
No I didn't miss it I just people acting like Microsoft is some how worst when both this gen is terribleYou clearly missed the " Worst PlayStation Generation ever" thread & all the PlayStation needs to fire Hermen Hulst posts & the PlayStation wasted 400 million dollars on Concord & GaaS is going to bankrupt Sony comments
There is a big difference PlayStation is having its most successful generation ever while Xbox ( as a console) is basically on the chopping block .No I didn't miss it I just people acting like Microsoft is some how worst when both this gen is terrible
PlayStation isn't great but they haven't been terrible this gen. Xbox pissed away 80 billion dollars and conditioned their users to stop buying games with day one releases on GamePass. While Xbox stepped up first party production, their leadership decisions have been some of the absolute worst in any industry ever.No I didn't miss it I just people acting like Microsoft is some how worst when both this gen is terrible
And the thing is Microsoft ain't even laying people off because of financial issues. This ain't a crash. It isn't even a gaming recession. Baseless thread.
Tbh Microsoft was kind of always the fuck up of the gaming industry. They have been incompetent since the later half of the 360 it was inevitable for what's happening to them in the gaming space right now.
Microsoft =/= Video game industry…![]()
Nah stop it. Platforms come and go, doesn't mean the whole industry is crashing. And Xbox isn't even gone, things may look dark but they have a new console coming and supposedly 40 games in the pipeline. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
The reality right now nobody needs an Xbox or ps5 to play the main games on either console period that's how far these gen has failed periodPlayStation isn't great but they haven't been terrible this gen.

Maybe the most surprising thing to me is that Xbox fans act as though they were caught off guard. I can't count the number of times I read comments from Xbox diehards that they didn't care if Xbox was loosing money so long as they were getting to play games for "free". Anyone with an ounce of logic saw that Xbox was digging its own grave.

I'm referring to the on-going bad news in the industry in the last three years, including Sony's massive blunder in their GAAS ambition and culminating with the XBOX news, as the industry crash
The video game industry is making more money than ever…. Sony and Nintendo stocks are all time high right now, even Xbox thanks to the Activision acquisition is generating more revenue than ever too… There's not such thing as industry crash. The Switch probably sold 6 million units in the first month, PS5 is on the way to 100 million, Xbox probably around 45 Million.some of you think that I'm just referring the recent massive XBOX layoffs and game cancellations as the crash, NO, that's not what I think.

It's time to stop posting.The reality right now nobody needs an Xbox or ps5 to play the main games on either console period that's how far these gen has failed period
About Commodore. Looks like you're going to have to live though a rebirth as well.
if you are willing to wait 1 to 2 years for a Playstation game on PC.The reality right now nobody needs an Xbox or ps5 to play the main games on either console period that's how far these gen has failed period
PlayStation is HORRIBLE this generation, easily their WORST generation by far, if we see it from their first party outputs perspective
How do you know that is what's going on at Sony?Sony is not fine, they're still trying to figure out how to move forward after 5 billion dollar failing attempt on GAAS
Nice to hear you still have fond memories of that era!+1 on commodore. My first computer was an Amiga 500 and I was the envy of all my school friends back in the day…. As if my sega megadrive was not enough! Fond memories of the amiga. CVG magazine….. movie tie in games by ocean soft that we all though we're great but mostly sucked ( though robicip and total recall will always have a fond place in my heart in the amiga. Ordering US gold ports of arcade games. I still remember my mom buying the US gold platinum bundle that came with Frgotten worlds, ghouls and ghosts
, strider and some other capcom arcade games. If you didn't own Atleast theee bitmap brothers games you were not serious. Pysginison was psygnosis before Sony bought them out…..
Sorry you just took me down memory Lane bro! I do miss that amiga……. Oh and how can I forget that useless paint software that came with that I didn't know how to use? Point and click games like nightbreed…. I never beat it but one of my aunties did for me. I didn't understand how point and click games worked until I learned to play eye of the beholder ane xenomorph ( dunno if you remember those last two ….. but they was the game that got me intoRPGs along with OG Zelda and faxandu on NES, even though they weee pour and click, around that age I realised I was ready for more sophisticated gameplay ) I guess you could say I alway been more into action RPGs . Eye of the beholder was a little over my head for my 9 year old brain but once I got to grips with it I wanted more RPGs.
Hey amiga had some kick as shmups too, didn't it? Remember a game by pysginisi called 'awesome'? It had such a great visual style even if a little sparse. And we all remember how awesome speedball 1+2 and xenon 1+2 was. We need a bitmap brothers collection. With some quality of life features so they are easier to actually see the endings.
I just don't see any of that resulting in a crash. Maybe the AAA-AAAA isn't working, requires too many devs and takes too long to reach the finish line. But then it'll just fall back to AA. I don't see any reason why it would lead to an industry wide crash.some of you think that I'm just referring the recent massive XBOX layoffs and game cancellations as the crash, NO, that's not what I think.

Sony: Has made more money this gen than every previous gen combined
Bro Sony is 100% fine. The PS5 generation is making them money hand over fist.
Sony has completely shit the bed with the GaaS initiatives and slowing first party output… and yet it's the most profitable generation for PlayStation ever.
Nintendo pissed everyone off with $80 games, game key cards, and console bricking EULAS… yet broke single day sales records for the Switch 2.
The only "crash" is Xbox collapsing under its own weight and incompetence. They're the only ones losing money.
