      Yea except you have to mention that Nintendo has way stronger _popular_ IPs like freaking zelda and mario, Halo's IP is already dead and what else does Microsoft have that compares? Microsoft even sells their games on Steam now, _including Psychonauts 2 and Halo Infinite._ It's about their console being so dead that it won't get sales even if they put exclusives on it. They own Minecraft, yet basically every Minecraft player uses PC, not Xbox. Microsoft can pidgeonhold most Steam players to Windows, so they don't even have any point to keeping Xbox around other than for keeping up an image. They can just sell PCs and windows instead of Xbox.

      "These companies want us to..."
      No, it's not the "companies" who want you to do anything. You will come to realize this in a few short years after Orange Man has been reinstalled in the Oval Office. (And no, I am not a Liberal, Marxist/Socialist/Communist, "woke", etc...)
      Ideas of Fascism
      *The union between businesses and the State, with the state telling the business what to do,* with nominally private ownership. Corporatism in Italy, National Socialism in Germany. Central planning of National economy. Redistribution of wealth (Nazi). --I'm sure some of you have heard of UBI (Universal Basic Income) at some point.
      Economic Coordination in Fascism
      Businesses are nominally privately owned; *the State dictates outputs and investments.* Planning is based on projected labor output rather than money.
      What do we see the majority of Western videogame publishers promoting as far as political ideologies'? Are they asserting Conservative, or "progressive" Liberal Marxist ideologies (such as ESG, DEI, LGBTQ Pride, BLM. ie: "woke")? (Research Yuri Bezmenov, Four Steps for Communist Ideological Subversion before getting triggered and saying I don't know what I'm talking about when I say those are Marxist ideologies.)
      Reverse psychology is a persuasion tactic that involves advocating for a behavior that is different than the desired outcome. In other words, you say the opposite of what you want. Also known as strategic self-anticonformity, the goal of reverse psychology is to encourage the other person to do what is actually desired.
      IE: Assert Marxist/Communist ideologies with the intention of persuading/encouraging people to go the desired route of Fascism.
      Definition of Fascism
      An extremely nationalistic, authoritarian state is usually led by one person at the head of one party. No democratic election of representatives. No free market. No individualism or individual glory. The State controls the press and all other media.
      Religion in Fascism
      Fascism is a civic religion: citizens worship the state through nationalism. The state only supports religious organizations that are nationally/historically tied to that state; e.g., the Iron Guard in Romania supported the Romanian Orthodox church.
      Ownership Structure in Fascism
      The means of production are nominally privately owned but directed by the State. Private ownership of the business is contingent upon the submission to the direction and interests of the State.
      Hegelian Dialectic (Simplified): Problem, Reaction, Solution.
      Create a Liberalism/Communism problem.
      Have the majority of the people reject Liberalism/Communism as intended. (Through the application of reverse psychology.)
      Offer the pre-determined solution: Religious Fascism
      What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
      Political System in Fascism
      One charismatic leader has absolute authority. Often the symbol of the state. *Advisers to Government are generally picked by merit rather than election. Cronyism common.*
      *The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need* and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing *the damage the Left has wrought (PROBLEM)* and build a better country for all Americans in 2025.
      It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. *If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda (REACTION)* out on day one of the next conservative administration.
      This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook.
      The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025. *With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government (SOLUTION).* (Reminder...One charismatic leader has absolute authority. Often the symbol of the state. Advisers to Government are generally picked by merit rather than election. Cronyism common.)
      Here is what you need to understand. These corporations do what the State tells them to, including the removal of physical media. With digital media, "book burnings" (so to speak) can be done instantaneously at the whim of the Party, with the State deciding what is acceptable or unacceptable for consumption. If you do not have the correct political or religious views of the Party, you will lose access to your media with the push of a button.

      Something that I think signifigantly contributed to Nintendos comeback after the Wii U disaster was because they had a console that makes sense to own alongside everything else. You aren't likely to buy an Xbox Series if you have a PS5, since the only real difference is exclusives. You are likely to buy a switch since it's a handheld, and can be used in scenarios that you couldn't use a PS5, or Xbox Series, or even a PC in.

The whole gaming industry is pretty sad atm because too many people are money grubbing and there isn't the balance between greed and passion that there used to be.
      The new Wukong game is honestly the closest we've gotten to a Shadow of the Colossus in a long time and you can just as easily play it on PC.

Retro gaming is definitely becoming more enticing when you see that in these modern times we get more cash grabs than we do genuine attempts at making games that provoke something in us whether through enticing gameplay or a compelling story. Add in to the fact that as the generations go on, consoles start to resemble mini PC’s more and more. It does feel like the future is just PC’s of varying degree or exclusivity.

      to be fair, sony also just had one of the biggest flops in gaming history with concord and according to the most recent leaks that game cost aound 400 million USD. Not 100 or 200 to 250 million like other sources before said.
      400 million USD spent over 4 to 8 years and burned within 2 weeks.
      remember concord was one of their flagship live service games they wanted to make for the playstation.
      the price could also be influenced by this massive flop.

      My biggest problem with Sony is that they don’t really make “games” anymore. They doubled down on dialogue-riddled, cinematic experiences that you can really only play once.
      Like, yeah God of War 2018 was fine enough, but I have zero interest in ever playing it again. Same with Horizon. So much so, that I completely lost interest in playing their sequels. And that meant that I really had no reason to get a PS5.
      Meanwhile I have over 1000 hours in Elden Ring, roughly 1000 hours between Monster Hunter GU, World and Rise, 300 hours between the two Hades games, 500 hours in Guilty Gear Strive, over 500 hours in Smash Ultimate, 300 hours between BotW and TotK, and 300 hours in Baldur’s Gate 3.
      I learned between these two generations that I kind of just want to actually play the game, and engage with systems. I don’t really care about the “fluff” that Sony seems to be concerned with.

    It's the first generation in the history of gaming where it's debatable even after 6 years of the current gen's existence whether it's worth making the jump from the older systems. It's the first time where the difference in quality felt simply noticable or in many cases just redundant and not mind boggling. It's the first time that you are "left behind" a whole generation but you keep getting almost every game to your system regardless, with the only major differences being background bushes being clearer in the new ones and the loading screen lasting 5 seconds instead of 15 (in contrast to cross-gen games between the 5th and 6th, the 6th and 7th and even the 7th and 8th where games coming out on both consoles either had HUGE differences or were legit different versions games entirely).

      The loading times are incredibly faster than previous gen you're understating it a lot. My old aaah xbox one from 2015 takes longer to start up than it does for me to turn on my series x and load into RDR2. Another game with incredibly long loading screens on the old gen (more than any rockstar game) is No Man's Sky. It used to take minutes now it takes seconds. The processing speed alone is enough for me to upgrade. EVERYTHING is faster although I bet my xbox one brand new wasn't nearly as slow as it is now. However, I still wish I had gotten a PlayStation. Xbox just sucks man. They took a fully customizable home screen and made it into a giant storepage. The moderation sucks -- although I doubt this is exclusive to Xbox. You get banned for cursing but spam, bots, and just outright creepy shit (in LFG especially, if you ever wanna feel immense disgust for some odd reason read the Fortnite and Minecraft LFGs... it's bad) it is left alone, but god forbid you curse at someone baiting you with insults that the auto moderation won't pick up on and get you banned. My friend, who has never been banned before, just got a 22 day suspension for trying to make a meme of silly mustache man his pfp. I can report a message of someone telling me to game end myself and as long as they haven't been comm banned recently, it'll be a 3 day suspension... I really don't like Xbox as a company.

      @@Pegarexucorn I prefer XBOX over Playstation for similar reasons against the other company, SONY for example banned my PS Vita account under suspicion of piracy and modding or something of that sort (it's been years I don't remember exactly what) and I literally have never done anything to it, I've never touched a mod, an emulator or a pirated game in my entire life on any platform, not even once. I always buy and I always play vanilla only. They even rejected my appeal. And while I have a brother he never played with the Vita and didn't even know the password, he didn't do anything (and I checked if there was anything in the system anyway, I would have found it).
      I don't think either are good or consume- no, gamer-friendly, and I have had issues with XBOX too. Most egregious was me getting a temporary suspension over a 30 second clip of a Mafia 3 cutscene, the protagonist Lincoln was about to eliminate one of his targets and there was the use of the N word twice, I'm assuming XBOX picked up on the word and punished me. Which is insane, it's literally a word that's in the game, I captured the moment cause it was a cool set piece like c'mon man. But overall I do unironically prefer XBOX. Better UI, better storefront, a better system for non-gaming things (WWE, Netflix, TH-cam, media player, Microsoft Edge, it just works better), I think the Game Pass Core is the best subscription service for the console market and I think the XBOX controller > DualShock battle is not even a close one, whenever I play on Playstation I am baffled by how inferior every DualShock model feels in comparison. I'm not a huge tech nerd but from what I've seen the XBOX has been a more powerful system overall than the PS for the last 2 generations so I guess that's also a plus (to my understanding SONY prioritizes 1-2 aspects to be unmatched but neglects the rest causing them to fall slightly behind while Microsoft has all-around more even technology, they upgrade things at a steady and satisfying pace and end up having better components than the PS systems except for those 1-2 aforementioned components SONY focuses on) and even when they had less powerful consoled before that they always had better performance (especially compared to late-PS2 and PS3, performance and visuals on XBOX and XBOX 360 was always like 11 times better because of how difficult optimization and development was on the Playstation at the time).
      As a turbo hardcore gamer that's not really a tech nerd XBOX > PS > Nintendo is my way to go personally. Don't even get me started on Nintendo, I think they have almost all the negatives of XBOX and PS combined and amplified with barely any of the positives. Would love to see how they compare to you overall!

      I didn't pay much attention on ps5 theme. The theme on Nintendo Switch suck and boring. I don't understand the process of taking ingame photos but cannot utilize them as a background picture theme.
      The games on Sony are more incoming than what Xbox has to offer. The games are lacking somewhat.
      We have more games in the libraries than can count. Just take a quick tour of the past and experience in playing them. This is the reason why I don't let my old games be sold.

      I kinda understand from a technical point of view cause the Switch is semi-desynced from the other two in terms of traditional console generations. The Wii U only lasting 4 years kinda makes it hard to figure out whether you count the Switch as 8th or 9th generation when it came out in the rough exact midpoint of the two. But completely disregarding them as doing their own thing is unfair to say.

    I think the big mistake a lot of people are making is sticking with consoles in an era where 90% of the big AAA studios are pooping out exploitative live service games intended to drain wallets first and entertain second. At their heart consoles are pretty much dedicated AAA game driven platforms these days. This is the golden age of indie games and consoles are simply not the platforms to be playing the vast majority of those games on. Consoles are built around AAA gaming and AAA gaming is in the worst shape it's been in since the late pre-NES era of Atari.
    Just look at the bright spots mentioned in this video for Generation 9 consoles. They are mostly either remakes or games made by independent studios like Baldur's Gate 3, Returnal and Hell Divers. Pal World is another title that comes to mind as one of the top games in the last year or two which was basically just an ascended indie game made by a small to medium sized team.
    If you are burnt out on AAA gaming just log onto Steam and check out the indie scene. You don't even need an amazing PC to run 90% of these games. AAA gaming may be a sick diseased beast at the moment, but the indie scene is the best it has ever been.

I love physical media and will buy it as long as i can. I connected my PC to TV, but it was not the same experience.

      I own consoles going back to the Atari 2600 and Colecovision with at least a small library for every one. I even own a Virtual Boy. The 9th generation is where I quit, though. There's just no point to buying consoles anymore (aside from Nintendo's offerings). Everything that comes out on consoles, with a few and usually time-limited exceptions, is available better and cheaper on Steam.
      Not only can I play the massive history of games released on PC, I now also use my PC to play my PS2 discs because my old fat PS3 (that I used for PSX and PS2 games, as well as PS3) yellow lighted, and even after being fixed, kept dying over and over again. Unfortunately, the PS3 slim doesn't do backward compatibility, so that's only good for PS3 games. I'd use my PS2 slim, but that looks like crap on an HDTV. The only good solution I have is using an emulator to run the discs on PC. If Sony gave a damn, they'd offer backward compatibility and at least give me a good reason to keep buying their consoles... but they don't.
      If I'm not buying for the games (which aren't there), and I'm not buying for the hardware (which is functionally useless to me), and I'd have to pay extra to be able to play online multiplayer games... what's the point? I still use my PS4 to play games I want to have on physical media... as my Xbox One gathers dust (only got it for the Rare Replay and for backward compatibility with the 360).
      I can't speak to your experience, but I've never had issues with getting games to work, so much so that it stopped me from playing on PC. Either a game works with my Xbox One controller or it's a keyboard and mouse game. I install a game from Steam, and it just works. Again, I can't speak to your experience... but it _sounds_ like you're talking out of your ass. Conversely, I bought DJ Hero 2 for PS3 right after it was discontinued and on discount in stores... despite being brand new console hardware, I've _never_ managed to get the dongle to connect to the turntable. I sunk hours into it... changing batteries, moving the turntable closer to the dongle, changing USB ports... nothing! So much for consoles being easier!

    Consoles used to be a solid option, they were relatively cheap, plug and play and had good librarys. I actually think the constant push for graphics is gonna kill consoles, it takes too long to make games so you don't get many, if they aren't good the player is just kinda fucked and probably so is the studios. It inflates the console cost to run them to where a pc isn't even the super pricey elite gamer option anymore. The physical media thing barely matters anymore as well since many games are pretty unplayable without all the day 1 patches which require Internet and way too much time to install and even then the games are so bloated you can install like 3 before having to delete stuff, no game needs to be like 150gb+.

      I'm not really understanding the replies to this thread, it sounds like hundreds of games are still being ported or are available across PS4 and PS5 simultaneously, in that case, why not just either stick with a PS4 (if you have one) or buy a used PS4 instead; especially given the fact many games (including the upcoming Black Ops 6, for example) are still being ported to Xbox One and PS4. The last generation still isn't over yet, and many companies are still porting games to those 8th gen consoles.
      Better yet, why not just get a gaming PC or a Steam Deck, because not only do you gets hundreds of games that are likely ported from or with the PS4, but generations upon generations of games via emulation and backwards compatibility with games going as far back as the early 80s? I'm still struggling to understand what's the point of owning a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.

      The 360 was a fluke created by the ineptitude of Sony's PS3. Console devs had no choice but to design games primarily for 360 because it was easier to develop for, and it wasn't ridiculously expensive for consumers. It also wasn't the Wii. As a result 360 hoarded all the good third party titles. And of course Xbox actually had a decent first party lineup back then. I'd say a decline in valuable IP (specifically Halo not being as valued) and a lack of incentive for developers to make games that take advantage of the hardware are the biggest things holding XBOX back. That and how horrible their Bethesda investment turned out...

While digital it is burned money. So you can sell it easily for like 40 instead of the 59, so inreality you only payed 19. So not only that you get money back, also you are able to get cheaper physical games or even for free from your friends.

    You cannot stop developers from making games for the last generation when half of their consumers are still gaming there.
    The reason they aren’t upgrading to the 9th generation of consoles is because of a simple price/value problem that neither Sony nor Microsoft have addressed.
    The 8th generation (much like the 7th generation before it) got the magic price point to game quality and availability equation worked out perfectly despite a PS3 and then Xbox One ‘stumble’ in the beginning.
    Gamers loved the available games quality and their console of choice was around that magic retail price of $3-400 dollars which most people could just about find and justify spending as a FUN time expense.
    Take that price point beyond $400 dollars and people (families in particular) need another reason to buy a game console like with a Personal Computer where you can game and work on it and use it for browsing or streaming etc. But once you get over that $400 dollar point you need an excuse to hurt your wallet or credit card.
    The truth is the 9th generation of consoles just have NOT delivered on either console price point value or games quality never mind game availability.
    Nintendo have won against the 9th generation of consoles with arguably 7th generation technology because they got the price point right AND they never dropped the ball with the game supply!
    Microsoft Xbox and now Sony PlayStation both want to be something else APART from a games console manufacturer and that’s just NOT what the game players want!

      Great points, totally agree! Over their hunger for infinite money and market dominance the big corpos neglect the essential importance of reading the room and responding to the customers' needs accordingly. Otherwise all their empire will inevitably crash and burn one day when those disgruntled and disappointed customers decide to boycott their services and products. You can't continuously screw with people and expect them to come back for more. People are not stupid, eventually they'll start looking for better alternatives and better value for their buck.
      And since Sony are so nonchalantly breaking the sacred pricing barrier between consoles and PCs, more people will find themselves inclined to switch to PC gaming entirely by spending just a little more and get a way better overall experience in return, compared to the abysmal "improvement" Sony are willing to offer for all that insane cash they demand. And those who don't have that cash will stay either on the last gen or basic current gen platforms and won't move an inch from there, maybe not even when the next gen drops, considering the exponential growth of those prices.
      With that abomination that is the PS5 Pro we have a price increase of nearly 90% within THE SAME GENERATION. That's beyond insane! So we're looking at prices nearing the 1000$ mark with the next Gen, which is basically the price range of pretty solid 2k/60fps gaming PCs! If they go significantly lower, then they'll make the PS5 Pro literally a scam for its price. And if they follow through with their pricing politics nobody will buy their hardware except for those few idiots (aka "enthusiasts") with desposable income. But Sony definitely won't be able to continue with their usual strategy by trying to outdo the sales numbers of their previous gen. They just won't reach the average consumer with their elitist bullcrap anymore. However, console gaming's lifeline has always been the average consumer with their average income that allows them to spend only a certain amount of it on hobbies and luxury things like gaming. Excluding those people as the main customer base of a company is nothing short of a suicide.
      So, with the launch of their PS6 Sony might find themselves in the same dire situation as MS at the announcement of their Xbox One. By trying to obtain all the money in the world, they might end up with none. As the saying goes: The higher they fly, the harder they fall. And: Greed is the death of all things. I sincerely wish for Sony to learn that lesson the hard way. They very much deserve that.

    While I am really narrow minded on what games I will ever give a chance and play, I have seen everything come and go since 1985. Gaming nowadays, and since about mmmm 2004ish when I noticed on like MTV I think when I saw something like a game award show or something to that effect, I saw that it wasn't jist for people like me who were absolutely trashed in school for being either autistic or awkward for being eager to make everyone laugh or to show everyone how smart I was or how well I could draw. I needed attention because I couldn't fit in at ALL but what I never told people was thst I was a gamer. That was the red line I never crossed, because in my home town in Maine right literally on the border of Canada, gaming was never talked about openly in the school halls that I ever heard, or at recess. It was always some dumb sport or I guess trucks or hunting or fishing, or making fun of people. Gaming was private and for, as far as my experience went, people who lived in their bedrooms. Eventually gaming got a lot of attention from the government because of games like Time Killer and Mortal Kombat and I suppose Pit Fighter too, with the violence, even though gaming and violence coexisted since video games' inception in the US military as war game training. Whatever. Anyways, my point is, in the mid 2000's I saw that gaming had started to become some sort of socially acceptable hobby that was on tv! For me it just jumped out of nowhere, probably because I hadn't been watching TV because I was working all the time. And now 20 years later, gaming really REALLY feels oversaturated by a bunch of fake and diet game studios and although, admittedly, I scroll through Playstation Store and ignore 99% of what I see on there, the majority doesn’t have any appeal and sincerity, not that there wasn't crappy games in the 80s 90s and early 2000's, but the overall tone and spirit of games now are just not serious in conveying something that is willing to transport a player into an outside experience separate from the garbage day to day life we have when we aren't holding a controller. That attitude is mostly just blasted out of existence now.

    You know something that people never mention is how long games take these days. It’s not uncommon for a big AAA game to take several years to make. In those several years you might have an entire console gen jump and now the game they’ve been developing for PS4 is suddenly a PS5 game that was actually developed for a PS4. I’m sure there’s a lot of other annoying crap that goes along with that but releasing games developed for the past gen on the current gen has to be contributing to the quality of games.

    My PS5 library so far :
    Uncharted 4 (ps4 game)
    GTA 5 (ps3 game)
    Last of us 1 remaster (ps3 game)
    Last of us 2 (ps4 game)
    Silent Hill 2 (ps2 game)
    Do you get it now? Most of the games on PS5 are just remakes or remasters and offers 0 original game experience..

    Jim knew what he was doing. He messed things up saw what was about to happen and ran away. Honestly he shouldn't be sued by Sony for leading their company to ruin.

    You know why ? Because games are risky af for investors, they are scared and need a sure way to make their money back. And what do they think of ? Making the sam e game with the same recipe, or just making remakes. That's why games now feels all the same, There are no new innovations

    Why do you need Sony and Xbox studious to always provide for you when there are so many third party games and indies begging for your attention? Makes no sense

    10:10 You're misinterpreting what Phil Spencer is saying because I found it to be a very salient point in and of itself. He's 100% right. Xbox is down in marketshare, it's severely unpopular outside of the US as well. *Just* making great games is not going to win them back that ground now that we're in the world of people having long standing digital libraries that they want to continue being able to enjoy. Game Pass was a reasonable decision to try to regain some ground, but it's a bandaid and not a solution. Microsoft put way too much effort into Game Pass, which quite honestly would have been much better as a limited time offer rather than a monthly subscription service. I think that the best decision Microsoft honestly could make is to transition the Xbox towards being a prebuilt gaming computer with cheaper that offers backwards compatibility with previous xbox generations rather than a full game console. A gaming computer that has an integrated xbox-mode which is essentially an Xbox styled 10-foot-display desktop and also a standard Windows mode that is a full Windows experience. They could even just not let you play games that didn't come from the xbox or windows store in xbox mode then let you play everything from Steam and Epic in Desktop mode. The absolute smartest move Xbox can make is to get ahead of the inevitable slow decline of console gaming as a whole.

      I agree with the overall sentiment that Xbox is trying to get ahead of the curve as console gaming as we know it mat likely die out in the future, but they must also be aware that new generations of gamers are coming to the scene every year, some people have the disposable income to buy multiple consoles etc. It's those people that Microsoft could win over with great games. I bought a 360 console again earlier in the year just because of how great their catalogue is

    I went from the 360 to a laptop and then finally upgraded to a desktop and I've been running a desktop for 10 years now. And I think that was the best decision that I made in my life, was transitioning to a PC gamer long before the Xbox One even made a debut. I completely missed the next two bad generation of consoles entirely, and every single year I can say that I have the console that literally beats out every other console in power, speed, number of game titles and every single game will eventually come to me. Final fantasy 16 just came out for steam, I will be buying it.
    PC master race used to be such a meme back during the console wars, but now that the consoles have lost the will to fight each other the PC has overtaken them all in every aspect.
    People will say that PCs are too expensive, but at least we know part for part where we are spending our money. The PS5 pro, with the "Just trust us bro .." price tag is absolutely disgusting and I feel bad for every single one of you people that are locked into that console with your game libraries.

    Sony's issues started before Jim Ryan became head honcho. It began when they started putting the majority of their eggs into the Cinematic Action/Adventure Style Game basket and making that the bulk of their output despite how overly expensive they were and how long they take to make. Stuff like GOW 2018, TLOU, Horizon, etc. And we're seeing those effects. AAA game development expenses have reached a point where you cannot support a console long term with this kind of business strategy. You need to have a varied portfolio of different games. Jim's push for live service definitely wasn't gonna help matters, but I think people are too quick to focus on him when Sony's issues further back than that.
    Nintendo, despite their own brand of idiotic decisions, showcased exactly how to do this with all the first party games they've supported the Switch with.
