I'm not sure what your rambling was regarding Sonys plan for 2025, you were all over the place. Wolverine is enough, not to mention 3rd party exclusives. Sony is doing great, even though I don't like some of the IPs, and I do see a need for more, for Sony to st3p up their game, but all this Doom & gloom on YT is garbage narrative. It's barely at the 4 year mark. Let 2025 unfold, I think you'll be surprised. If anyone needs MORE games then what's available, get a Playstation VR & bam, instant library. This narrative will disappear in 2 years time, as the library grows. This January Resident Evil 2, 3 & 7 will be available for physical purchase making my shelf look great. I'm nearing 40 PS5 games, I only have half that in PS4 games, (not counting virtual reality & digital games) & don't mind me im hi & rambling too.
nope. Every metric says console market has been stagnate for a decade and it's costs are higher and profit margins lower than ever. More than 1 former ceo has called aaa games unsustainable. it's not 2008. the market has completely changed from exclusives and console wars. Even third party are less likely to sign exclusives. Access your library anywhere on anything is the future.
I definitely agree that Jim Ryan’s tenure was living off of the success of Layden, but I do think it’s worth mentioning that it keeps a lot to keep a company like SIE from running into the ground. Just look at Don Mattrick.
@@jamescumberland8284Don Matrick kept Xbox going for several years prior to the Xbox One launch and announcement. Id say both Don and Jim are on equal footing in their ability to actually run the companies and keep them going. Both made bad decisions and both were ultimately fired or pushed to “retire” or “move on”.
The biggest negative for Gran Turismo is no offline mode, unless they've added it lately. That said, they need to vet like they have in the past, so a studio like Arrowhead who they have a history with is someone they need to lock down for their service model. No more acquiring studios with no games to show for.
Keep Sony Japanese , all these problems can be stemmed back to moving their headquarters to California and attempting to westernize gaming , stick with your roots Sony …
What's their roots? PS1 and PS2 were popular mostly due to 3rd party. Xbox has Halo gears and Forza and much more. Nintendo has Pokemon Zelda maro and much more. The only legacy PlayStation has is gran Turismo. They have nothing. But I think they should make a gran Turismo thats super sim and highlights actual motorsport like F1 or ACC not just car collection.
Dude outside of nintendo, what japanese gaming company has been consistent? Only one that comes to mind is Capcom (specially when they dropped the stupid idea of exclusivity after the dumpster fire that SF5 was)
California is not the problem. The problem has been Sony. Moving PlayStation to California isn't why Sony Music incorporated a rootkit virus in music CDs for example, Sony is just a crappy company.
@@fernandomendes7451I don't know if I would say Capcom is consistent. They seem to drop the ball pretty often. Recent example being the dead rising remake, where they censored A LOT of stuff, used AI a bunch so there's a lot gta trilogy style weird things in signs and backgrounds, toned down the gore and in some parts looks worse than the 360 version. All because they pulled a Rockstar and outsourced the remake to another unproven company.
Don't use the term DEI, it makes people think you're racist. DEI is the new SJW or WOKE when you use it it's like saying to people who disagree with you that you're a racist bigot
Fun fact...nobody cares that you don't care for dei... and you probably don't even know what it means. Probably racist. Apparently much don't care about your silly infantile comment either. Not did you wish people cared about your racist posture.
Single player cinematic games are too much of a gamble now. Look how many 1st party playstation games flop, they cant afford the risk without a live sercice that constantly brings in money long term. Xbox had sea of thieves, minecraft, forza horizon before abk. Now they have warzone, waw, overwatch, fallout 76, ESO...all cash cows Xbox is solid for the long term even if they only sell 30mil consoles...
They wouldn't be if they got rid of the pointless expense bloat and made games people actually want to play instead of the propaganda bllsht. Unfortunately in order to do that they'd have to scrape clean most of the staff within EVERY studio.

I think Sony needs to go back to trying multiple types of games at a lower budget. They do have some variety, but most of their big first party titles tend to be 3rd person free roam games. Basically, go back to the ps2 and even ps3 days where they experimented more and stop sticking to mostly 1 genre of games; be it live service or 3rd person free roam games.
@@BUPMY1easily. Take 300 million or more they use on games like spiderman 2 and instead make 3 100 million remakes of older games people have been asking for decades. Or simply make the next big title and spend 200 million on it and use the other 100 million to make 2 upscaled ports or remasters of a couple titles people ask for and see how those sell and from those possible successes make a remake or updated sequel to the ones thst sell. Hell, they could probably release remasters of a solid handful or more of games such as socom, Jake and Daxter, twisted metal, killzone, etc.. using the outrageous amounts of money they use on one exclusive thst barely makes a profit. If only a couple of those remasters make a solid profit, it will help them more than releasing one overly expensive exclusive that they have to either force into bundles or release on pc to actually make a profit.
@TheJohhnyE There is a reason that a lot of older PS games are not being remastered or having new entries: there's no incentive to do so. They may have a dedicated fanbase, but if those games don't move the needle they won't release them because the money isn't there.
@@hitmontree3736see but thats the issue. Not every game needs to move the needle, but you need variety and different priced games to make money/attract people to the platform. The reason these games aren’t being made is because PlayStation has a narrow cookie cutter focus on whats successful and whats not. Focusing on big huge budget games ONLY will be their downfall. Notice Nintendo is able to put out big and small games. New random IPs, old IPs etc. all get made despite the smaller/new games not “moving the needle”.
I'm gonna disagree with Jim Ryan, I think held the most amount of L's as a Playstation CEO and some of the biggest with losing ABK, Concord and the way too many remakes and remasters on top of lacking new and interesting I.P from the PS3 era and prior. As well I believe making games for Marvel that can be pulled away from them at any time is a complete mismanagment of company resources and hundreds of millions of dollars that Marvel can do whatever they want with when they decide they're done renting a Playstation studio that could be focused on original Playstation I.P.
I don't think the double CEO approach even helps Sony at all. Based on recent news and important decisions being made it has negatively impacted the PlayStation brand quite significantly.
I'm sure Square learned the hard way. FF XVI didn't sell all that well on steam. They needed that initial marketing cycle to boost it! PC players will and do say "OK I gotta wait for your game? You can wait til it goes on sale for me to play it!" Same goes for PS first party. Day and Date is coming, Soon.
Square doesn't get a 30% cut off every purchase on the ps store but Sony does. Sony loses 30% selling games on steam. soooooo I'm not a genius but I think there is a reason why they are hesitant to put their games day and date on pc.
@@anthonyblanton7074even though losing 30% of each sale they're still receiving millions of sales they wouldn't have gotten at all by going to steam and they would make more sales by not making the PC players wait 1-2 years for games that are generally finished in a weekend or so
@@jamesthomas2410 are you suggesting they would make more money day and date on their 2 first party games every year than the 30% cut of all 3rd party sales on the ps store? Not sure on how people don't understand this. They will lose people to pc if they put their games day and date on pc. A very large amount of ps gamers will just switch and they lose the 30% cut of third party sales those people would have spent in the ps store. Also they lose the yearly subscription fee they would have paid for.
@@jamesthomas2410 Not sure on what people dont understand here. Sony will lose people if they put first party games on pc day and date. What's the point of buying a playstation if you get the games day and date on pc. Sony loses out on the 30% cut on all third party sales on the ps store and the yearly subscription from those people who leave. Trust me that is more money than day and date sales on the 2 first party games they put out every year.
@@countquackula8539if you knew anything about business or finance, you wouldn't be doubting. They can definitely turn it around, but if they don't change their strategies soon, this year will be only the begining of studio closures and giant flops.
Rebooting God of War? I didn't know they were done with that IP. I know Santa Monica Studios is working on a new science fiction IP but I didn't know they were done with God of War.
It's a God of war show for amazon that is getting rebooted. They recently announced they're scraping everything they wrote and are starting over from scratch
I think I’ve figured this out. If Sony was producing up to million dollar games, then all the bosses get a percentage of that million dollars. Instead Sony are producing games costing hundreds of million dollars, and the bosses get the same percentage of this hundreds of millions. Of course we can see this isn’t sustainable, but I can see executives not willing to tighten their belts across the whole company.
Xbox learned relatively fast the whole Blumhouse method (pump out cheaper budget fringe products, if one hits the mark the profits are through the roof)
Every triple A company: We don't know WTF to do!? NFTs? Live-Services? we are trying all the big trends! Gamers: How about just supplying the demand? as with any successful business?
Jim Ryan had a PR Disaster with his comment "Making 1st Party Single Player Exclusive Story Driven Games COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO MAKE!!!!!!" I still can not believe he said that publicly and thus severely impacting their games output in 2024!!!!
@ Yes, these CEO’s have to realize that if they “never” make the games that they are known for to make as in the PS4 era, then PlayStation is going to lose console players dramatically over a course of time effectively killing the brand!!! Like 99,9999% of people that have a PS5 have the console for the 1st Party Exclusive Single Player Story Driven Games, NOT GAMES AS A SERVICE CRAP!!!
@@shanedeanhofmeister-yi1kw Ceo's realize they are to expensive. more than one executive has called them unsustainable. it's not 2006. game sales are down 20% on ps5 compared to ps4. microtransactions are up 176%. they just giving people what they want. Playstion hasn't run on exclusive for years. it runs on cod/fifa/fortnight money.
fire hermen hulst. else expect more studio aquisition, shutdowns at the same time and dumb marketing and product launches then shut them down as well. both of these so called CEO's never played a single game in their life. and they are playing money game and losing.
No trust in playstation these days. New pulse headset dont even work with ps5 slim because you can only put the dongle in the back of the ps5 and it gets hot enough it disconnects the headset. They are a joke these days cant even trust there hardware let alone their uncreative adolescent game lineup
Buddy, first part games make up like .01% of a person’s gaming library. Who’s gonna drop $800 plus tax just to play 3 games that come out over the course of six years?
100% and all those people who were like “there’s no point in buying an Xbox because all the games on pc. Xbox is incompetent”, they will of course be silent when this happens
No hate but I’m not sure how Xbox are on a hot streak when they only put out Hellblade 2 as a full new first party game which came and went like a fart in the wind, then nothing until Shattered Space which reviewed in the 60’s, and only now have COD and Vessel of Hatred. Outside of that their games are delayed AGAIN to next year, and Indiana seems to have mixed opinions post previews. Hardware continues to plummet YoY. If this is a hot streak, I’d hate to see what a downturn looks like
You’re forgetting ages of mythology and flight sim 2024, but I guess when you’re trying to find negatives it’s easy to “forget” about the rest of the stuff they put out. In all honestly all Sony has put other this year is mlb, concord and Astro.
@ Flight Sim isn’t out yet, neither is Indiana Jones. Age of Mythology sure, but that’s not catering to the console audience. I’m not trying to score points or say anything is better than anything else. I’m just saying I strongly disagree that Xbox is on a “winning streak”
@@Spam591_ yet flight sim is this month so yes it’s on winning streak, why isn’t age of mythology catering to the console crowd? It’s on console, I’ve beaten the campaign and so have my friends, we even skirmish eachother a few times a week.
@ Ok well I didn’t realise I have to map out every single thing super Crystal clearly and we can’t infer things from our discussion. AoE doesn’t appeal to the *majority* of console players, and is traditionally a PC-first title. Flight Sim isn’t out, so not sure how you can count that as a success or part of a hot streak when we have no idea if the game will underdeliver or run poorly. It will almost guaranteed be great, but we still have to wait for it to come out. You seem to be *wanting* to pick a fight though, so I’m going to leave this here. Hope you have a good day, even if we clearly disagree
@@Spam591_ flight sim got a great score when it released, now it’s coming out with new modes and huge additions I don’t know how it could fail. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t appeal to a lot of console gamers, just like halo wars having rts on consoles is a big W. sorry if my disagreements had you over thinking your poor points.
Again, what Xbox fan boys are forgetting the reason Xbox is doing what they’re doing now not focusing on the console anymore and going more towards streaming. It’s because they failed in the console space Xbox has to do what they’re doing now to survive Xbox is on survival mode that’s it and who knows if they’re gonna make Thats the reality
Microsoft brought in 26 billion in revenue in one quarter. ABK alone made 5 billion in microtransactions in one year. But console sales are down, so disingenous fanboys think the brand is dying. Edit: just realized you're that fanboy that astroturfs for PlayStation in as many comments sections as you can. I hope they're paying you overtime.
@jessep5280 where did you get the 26 billion in I googled microsoft 26 billion and the only thing I found was microsoft buying linked in for 26 billion
i agree that because of Xbox screws their console market, they changed priorities in business strategy... but no.. Xbox is "not on survival mode" when their latest Q1 reports stated that their gaming and services revenue improved by 40% ... they are just doing fine.
Bungie purchase and layoffs firewalk/concord purchase and closures no first party other than astrobot stretching into 2025-2026 its looking bad for sony right now im waiting to see noshino and or herman on kinda funny games explaining whats going on with the fire at sony and PS right now....
The Last of Us Spiderman Kratos Aloy Gran Turismo Stellar Blade Rise of the Ronin Final Fantasy 7 Astrobot Silent Hill 2 Phantom Blade Wolverine Ghost of Yotay GT8 Death Stranding 2 Bend Studio new IP Naughty Dog new IP What do you mean where are the exclusives & whats to Roadmap?
Now take away the remasters, remakes, and 3rd party games and compare it to the list of ps4 1st party exclusives at this point in its life cycle. Also, if it's on PC, it's not an exclusive. That rule was set in stone by Playstation fans last generation.
@@TheJohhnyEPS2 and PS3 were basically famous for 3rd party titles also remakes are completely new games built from the ground up, so that doesn't help your argument.
@@TheJohhnyE3rd party titles have always been a huge part of the Playstation portfolio since the PS2 and remakes are completely new games built from the ground up, so that doesn't help your argument lmao.
Yeah a handheld IS cool, I hope it's amazing. But that BETTER not be the "most powerful console" with them just saying that compared to other handhelds. That would be whack.
Its nice that MS still plans on hardware...but how, pray tell, do they plan on SELLING it 😂?! If they're gonna port games to "Konami" Playstation?! Not into Nintendo IP...back before the "mainstream" era, when gaming was not cool 😂. I preferred Sega's more edgy style. I got a Switch, my very first ever Nintendo system...how'd that happen? Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and your favorite Marvel character THOR, is EXCLUSIVE to our system. Don't count on Series X, we'll wait 😂... That game is not exclusive to Switch, guess what, I still don't own a Nintendo system 😂! I'd have just bought it for Xbox One! I had to be MOVED to get it! Now that I have Nintendo system, what am I gonna do after MUA3, throw the system in the closet? I'm gonna search Nintendo E-shop, Gamestop shelves, and Gamefaqs, to see what else I can get for my new system! Maybe I have no interest in Mario, Zelda or Pokémon, but hey, that Metroid Prime Remastered is good sci fi FPS, I'll get that! Advance Wars 1+2, strategy is my top genre! I need a pocket Armored Core, Daemon X Machina! Sonics here! Exclusives MATTER! It gets you system bought, AND it branches off into more game purchases!
All of sonys multiplayer games will fail. Nobody wants this shit. Woke shit like gender swapping and DEI does not help too. Ghost of Yotai will sell good but not great. All the sony L's will make the PS6 cost 1000€😂😂
True. What are their options though? Live Service is a gamble. You might get fortnite, you might get Concord. Their big AAA action games are seeing reduced margins. So they're not the answer. Live Service was supposed to support them. What are the other options? Lots of AA games? People loved Astrobot but how much was that due to the novelty? If they do a AA platformer every year do people grow bored quickly? I'm not sure what they do to keep growing and not stagnating.
Sony has no innovation, they are stuck in the past. Nintendo killed it with Switch, Xbox has Gamepass and once the handheld hits you will start seeing a complete sinking with Sony and PS5 pro.
@@TheSoxor123 VR isn't innovation though. They're just supporting hardware that they barely support with software. Xbox had the kinect which actually enhanced gaming experiences while being unique and innovative at the time.
@@maizeman90Kinect was kinda trash ngl. But I was a genuine attempt at innovation. It was original hardware that they developed. Microsoft needs to develop the Apple mindset of standing behind their products until they get them right. Meanwhile like you said Sony just adapted 3rd party hardware
IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND NINTENDO BACKSTABBED SONY WHEN THEY BROKE THEIR CONTRACT AND WENT WITH PHIILPS. DIDNT KNOW PHILLIPS STILL MADE CONSOLES LOL NICE TRY THO

@@TheBean87 The PS5 pro is not their last console, and none of Sony’s single player games have been cancelled. Only the live service games are getting cancelled. His comment is wishful thinking, not a fact
As a long time PS fan, I'm expecting way more from PS studios, cause lately they're delivering woke bullshit, I'm tired of that, plus No line up for 2025 or beloved franchise as Days gone or Bloodborne. Nothing just wasted $400 on Concord, SMH.
@@MarkYeeDaMajor I mean technically speaking we’ve gotten other new IP from Sony that being Concord but industry wide there hasn’t been much of a market for new IP which is a shame. Also most of Sony’s big studios either made a new IP right at the end of PS4 and are continuing it or are working on sequels for their PS4 new IPs so it’s kinda rough. (For example Last of us Part 2 released just before the PS5, same with Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc)
@Cobbee4761 here I'll be more Specific for you hell with Playstation and Xbox just go full PC why buy a Playstation or Xbox Wan you can play both on one platform plus PC only games

@@anthonyblanton7074even though losing 30% of each sale they're still receiving millions of sales they wouldn't have gotten at all by going to steam and they would make more sales by not making the PC players wait 1-2 years for games that are generally finished in a weekend or so
@@jamesthomas2410 are you suggesting they would make more money day and date on their 2 first party games every year than the 30% cut of all 3rd party sales on the ps store? Not sure on how people don't understand this. They will lose people to pc if they put their games day and date on pc. A very large amount of ps gamers will just switch and they lose the 30% cut of third party sales those people would have spent in the ps store. Also they lose the yearly subscription fee they would have paid for.
@@anthonyblanton7074getting 70% off sales is better than getting 0% by not selling it on pc
@@jamesthomas2410 Not sure on what people dont understand here. Sony will lose people if they put first party games on pc day and date. What's the point of buying a playstation if you get the games day and date on pc. Sony loses out on the 30% cut on all third party sales on the ps store and the yearly subscription from those people who leave. Trust me that is more money than day and date sales on the 2 first party games they put out every year.
Are they outlining their bankruptcy?
You wish 😂
creative bankruptcy
@@countquackula8539if you knew anything about business or finance, you wouldn't be doubting. They can definitely turn it around, but if they don't change their strategies soon, this year will be only the begining of studio closures and giant flops.

Jim Ryan’s obsession with live service games was a massive L.
I think I’ve figured this out. If Sony was producing up to million dollar games, then all the bosses get a percentage of that million dollars. Instead Sony are producing games costing hundreds of million dollars, and the bosses get the same percentage of this hundreds of millions.
Of course we can see this isn’t sustainable, but I can see executives not willing to tighten their belts across the whole company.
Xbox learned relatively fast the whole Blumhouse method (pump out cheaper budget fringe products, if one hits the mark the profits are through the roof)
A24 is getting extremely well at it now also
Even Nintendo does it better than Sony. Splatoon blew up
cant wait to play gears e day on my Playstation
Every triple A company: We don't know WTF to do!? NFTs? Live-Services? we are trying all the big trends!
Gamers: How about just supplying the demand? as with any successful business?
Jim Ryan had a PR Disaster with his comment "Making 1st Party Single Player Exclusive Story Driven Games COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO MAKE!!!!!!" I still can not believe he said that publicly and thus severely impacting their games output in 2024!!!!
several former playstaion ceo have said that. Even the current sony ceo has said that.
@@spazco8669yeah I don’t know why thinks that statement is only by jimmy
We've seen leaked documents spiderman miles morales made 8 million in profit that's not good. That's not sustainable
@ Yes, these CEO’s have to realize that if they “never” make the games that they are known for to make as in the PS4 era, then PlayStation is going to lose console players dramatically over a course of time effectively killing the brand!!! Like 99,9999% of people that have a PS5 have the console for the 1st Party Exclusive Single Player Story Driven Games, NOT GAMES AS A SERVICE CRAP!!!
@@shanedeanhofmeister-yi1kw Ceo's realize they are to expensive. more than one executive has called them unsustainable. it's not 2006. game sales are down 20% on ps5 compared to ps4. microtransactions are up 176%. they just giving people what they want. Playstion hasn't run on exclusive for years. it runs on cod/fifa/fortnight money.
fire hermen hulst. else expect more studio aquisition, shutdowns at the same time and dumb marketing and product launches then shut them down as well. both of these so called CEO's never played a single game in their life. and they are playing money game and losing.
FACTS
I had a ps4 and then got a Pro as was easier and cheaper at the time then trying to replace the storage
I thought they were there as INTERIM positions....?
Guess we got screwed with THAT one too huh?
Did they explain how they are going to recover the 400 million lost by Concord ❓❓
No trust in playstation these days. New pulse headset dont even work with ps5 slim because you can only put the dongle in the back of the ps5 and it gets hot enough it disconnects the headset. They are a joke these days cant even trust there hardware let alone their uncreative adolescent game lineup
Movies, Movies, TV.
All guys like these do is PR speak. It literally means nothing.
LIKE MICROSOFT AS WELL?
@@wolfsrainpet Didn't I say 'guys like these'. Dmn quit getting so defensive pony. It will be ok.....I mean for you. For Sony it won't be.
5 days for the PRO 😁
Sony is releasing the Pro before releasing any new Sony 1st party. Their games will use PSSR to its fullest. I dont see how you guys dont see this.
Who cares?
Astro bot just came out ghost 2 is next year
@@PointingouttheObviouswell, those 2 games make it worth $800 (with the disc drive) then. 😂
Buddy, first part games make up like .01% of a person’s gaming library. Who’s gonna drop $800 plus tax just to play 3 games that come out over the course of six years?
Sony is now the king of cgi teasers 😂
My main concern.....will I be getting HellDivers2 on Xbox?
Meh, it’s had its day(mostly on pc)
Give Sly Cooper to Team Asobi
PlayStation is getting closer and closer to day and date on PC
100% and all those people who were like “there’s no point in buying an Xbox because all the games on pc. Xbox is incompetent”, they will of course be silent when this happens
No hate but I’m not sure how Xbox are on a hot streak when they only put out Hellblade 2 as a full new first party game which came and went like a fart in the wind, then nothing until Shattered Space which reviewed in the 60’s, and only now have COD and Vessel of Hatred. Outside of that their games are delayed AGAIN to next year, and Indiana seems to have mixed opinions post previews. Hardware continues to plummet YoY. If this is a hot streak, I’d hate to see what a downturn looks like
You’re forgetting ages of mythology and flight sim 2024, but I guess when you’re trying to find negatives it’s easy to “forget” about the rest of the stuff they put out. In all honestly all Sony has put other this year is mlb, concord and Astro.
@ Flight Sim isn’t out yet, neither is Indiana Jones. Age of Mythology sure, but that’s not catering to the console audience. I’m not trying to score points or say anything is better than anything else. I’m just saying I strongly disagree that Xbox is on a “winning streak”
@@Spam591_ yet flight sim is this month so yes it’s on winning streak, why isn’t age of mythology catering to the console crowd? It’s on console, I’ve beaten the campaign and so have my friends, we even skirmish eachother a few times a week.
@ Ok well I didn’t realise I have to map out every single thing super Crystal clearly and we can’t infer things from our discussion.
AoE doesn’t appeal to the *majority* of console players, and is traditionally a PC-first title. Flight Sim isn’t out, so not sure how you can count that as a success or part of a hot streak when we have no idea if the game will underdeliver or run poorly. It will almost guaranteed be great, but we still have to wait for it to come out. You seem to be *wanting* to pick a fight though, so I’m going to leave this here. Hope you have a good day, even if we clearly disagree
@@Spam591_ flight sim got a great score when it released, now it’s coming out with new modes and huge additions I don’t know how it could fail. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t appeal to a lot of console gamers, just like halo wars having rts on consoles is a big W. sorry if my disagreements had you over thinking your poor points.
Again, what Xbox fan boys are forgetting the reason Xbox is doing what they’re doing now not focusing on the console anymore and going more towards streaming. It’s because they failed in the console space Xbox has to do what they’re doing now to survive Xbox is on survival mode that’s it and who knows if they’re gonna make Thats the reality
Microsoft brought in 26 billion in revenue in one quarter. ABK alone made 5 billion in microtransactions in one year.
But console sales are down, so disingenous fanboys think the brand is dying.
Edit: just realized you're that fanboy that astroturfs for PlayStation in as many comments sections as you can.
I hope they're paying you overtime.
@jessep5280 where did you get the 26 billion in I googled microsoft 26 billion and the only thing I found was microsoft buying linked in for 26 billion
If you’re making more profit than your competitors with half the consoles sold you aren’t in survival mode, this is why the ps fanboy is so delusional
i agree that because of Xbox screws their console market, they changed priorities in business strategy...
but no.. Xbox is "not on survival mode" when their latest Q1 reports stated that their gaming and services revenue improved by 40% ... they are just doing fine.
@ no profits just revenue numbers PS shows profit
Bungie purchase and layoffs firewalk/concord purchase and closures no first party other than astrobot stretching into 2025-2026 its looking bad for sony right now im waiting to see noshino and or herman on kinda funny games explaining whats going on with the fire at sony and PS right now....
Microsoft will be developing software for PC, X Box and PS5 (most likely pro enhanced). I think they are heading away from the hardware scene.
Concord is a baby Hermen Hulst this guy doesn't know what he's doing
Wait, so Sony has a plan other than destroying Xbox.....they better get on it
Yeah that plan is failing them miserably they need to regroup
Playstation has no games 😮
Funny how that narrative was the Ponies go to.
@@jessey1729they gonna say all them remakes or new games 😂😂
What games has Xbox released this year? A better question is, what games have xbots been playing the last 10-12 months?
Ps5 got more exclusives and 3rd party games this year then Xbox alone how they don't have games when 2025 they already have 6 exclusives coming out
YOU SPELLED XBOX WRONG LOL

What do you mean where are the exclusives & whats to Roadmap?
Now take away the remasters, remakes, and 3rd party games and compare it to the list of ps4 1st party exclusives at this point in its life cycle.
Also, if it's on PC, it's not an exclusive. That rule was set in stone by Playstation fans last generation.
@@TheJohhnyETook the words out of my mouth!
@@TheJohhnyEPS2 and PS3 were basically famous for 3rd party titles also remakes are completely new games built from the ground up, so that doesn't help your argument.

hi
Yeah a handheld IS cool, I hope it's amazing. But that BETTER not be the "most powerful console" with them just saying that compared to other handhelds. That would be whack.
Its nice that MS still plans on hardware...but how, pray tell, do they plan on SELLING it 😂?! If they're gonna port games to "Konami" Playstation?!
Not into Nintendo IP...back before the "mainstream" era, when gaming was not cool 😂. I preferred Sega's more edgy style.
I got a Switch, my very first ever Nintendo system...how'd that happen? Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and your favorite Marvel character THOR, is EXCLUSIVE to our system. Don't count on Series X, we'll wait 😂...
That game is not exclusive to Switch, guess what, I still don't own a Nintendo system 😂! I'd have just bought it for Xbox One! I had to be MOVED to get it!
Now that I have Nintendo system, what am I gonna do after MUA3, throw the system in the closet? I'm gonna search Nintendo E-shop, Gamestop shelves, and Gamefaqs, to see what else I can get for my new system!
Maybe I have no interest in Mario, Zelda or Pokémon, but hey, that Metroid Prime Remastered is good sci fi FPS, I'll get that! Advance Wars 1+2, strategy is my top genre! I need a pocket Armored Core, Daemon X Machina! Sonics here!
Exclusives MATTER! It gets you system bought, AND it branches off into more game purchases!
They’ll sell them just fine.
Get rid of Hermes Hulst
No ps6 til 2030
All of sonys multiplayer games will fail. Nobody wants this shit. Woke shit like gender swapping and DEI does not help too. Ghost of Yotai will sell good but not great. All the sony L's will make the PS6 cost 1000€😂😂
Sony are ALREADY pivoting away from their live service obsession, and backing off to take a more objective assessment of their options.
*Pausing
True. What are their options though? Live Service is a gamble. You might get fortnite, you might get Concord. Their big AAA action games are seeing reduced margins. So they're not the answer. Live Service was supposed to support them. What are the other options? Lots of AA games? People loved Astrobot but how much was that due to the novelty? If they do a AA platformer every year do people grow bored quickly? I'm not sure what they do to keep growing and not stagnating.
Sony has no innovation, they are stuck in the past. Nintendo killed it with Switch, Xbox has Gamepass and once the handheld hits you will start seeing a complete sinking with Sony and PS5 pro.
Sony is the only one of the other 3 offering VR. I don't know what you're on about.
@@TheSoxor123 that they quickly abandoned rather than support and innovate games with it.
@@TheSoxor123 VR isn't innovation though. They're just supporting hardware that they barely support with software. Xbox had the kinect which actually enhanced gaming experiences while being unique and innovative at the time.
@@TheSoxor123and how many games have they made for their vr?
@@maizeman90Kinect was kinda trash ngl. But I was a genuine attempt at innovation. It was original hardware that they developed.
Microsoft needs to develop the Apple mindset of standing behind their products until they get them right.
Meanwhile like you said Sony just adapted 3rd party hardware
PlayStation start the company with backstabbing the Nintendo, and everything that starts with bad purposes will soon fell to the ground 😂

As a long time PS fan, I'm expecting way more from PS studios, cause lately they're delivering woke bullshit, I'm tired of that, plus No line up for 2025 or beloved franchise as Days gone or Bloodborne. Nothing just wasted $400 on Concord, SMH.
Sounds like the drought continues
This gen so far for PS we got only 2 new IP. Astro Bot and Returnal. Wtf Sony!
Astrobot isn’t a new IP, it’s from the PSVR and then Astro’s Playroom as the demo on PS5
@ I meant to say Astros Playroom but I totally forgot about VR. Looks like its just Returnal then.
@@MarkYeeDaMajor I mean technically speaking we’ve gotten other new IP from Sony that being Concord but industry wide there hasn’t been much of a market for new IP which is a shame. Also most of Sony’s big studios either made a new IP right at the end of PS4 and are continuing it or are working on sequels for their PS4 new IPs so it’s kinda rough. (For example Last of us Part 2 released just before the PS5, same with Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc)
