I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?
They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.
Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don’t really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.
It’s Sony. The various divisions never know what each other is doing and the moment a new executive comes in, they charge everything to make it seem like they’re important.
I don’t believe them. They just think that lying to the public will sell more PS5s… somehow
Egads! I’ll have to play other games. The horror! The humanity!
Oh, these indie games are actually pretty cool and much better. Maybe supporting passionate devs is better, huh?
Well fuck you too man.
This wouldn’t be bad if we were getting deals like we were in 2008/9 with like a PS3 + 3 games and 2 controllers for £350.
Now is £550 for the console alone + £70 per year to play online + £70 for one game + £60 for a new controller + £100 for disc drive? Get all the way fucked.
Right now, Indie games are wiping the asses of big industry games. Megabonk, Coal LLC, you name it. Singular people putting out content getting thousands of purchases. I know they have a team, but Relogic selling 70m copies of Terraria?

They’re ready to kick gum and chew ass
Heh. My backlog spans 19 years. I won’t miss much. Only a couple of their first party titles got my attention at all.
For those who don’t know, is largely because of Xbox supporting PC games on their consoles, and then also the Steam Frame. All of a sudden they know their hardware won’t matter. Not excusing it, it’s still incredibly shitty, but this is the main driver.
That makes sense.
…On the other hand, Sony could make a pretty sick PC gaming tower, if they wanted. They could still have first party titles and such through some proprietary store with a hardware check, but just give it the ability to play generic PC games too.
Your loss.
This would not be a problem if the PS5 had any games.
It seems that the last great Playstation was in fact Playstation 3.
PlayStation at this point is like those soldiers you find deep in the woods, trying to fight the war on their own, ignorant to the news that the war ended years ago. still trying to fight the console wars in 2026.
That’s the last straw! I’m buying a playstation!
Could you please pump more into Generative AI so it’s impossible to afford computers? Yes?! Ho thank you! And you also made playstations more expensive? Great!
/s
I just won’t buy their games then? I’m not going to move over just for a few games.
Maybe they should make their console more affordable then
Tbh, it’s not even about affordability, I just don’t want to have to own four different devices in order to play fucking games.
How many CD players did you need to play regular CDs from all the studios? One.
Same with DVD. And Blu-Ray.
Consoles got a pass back in the day because they legitimately used different formats and architectures, but now they’re basically all just single use PCs that don’t even have a physical media drive, they can all piss off. If a game isn’t available on PC, I’ll wait until I have a PC powerful enough to emulate it, then I’ll pirate it and they can shit up a rope.
Nonsense. Consoles were deliberately designed to be mutually incompatible. All the tantrum throwing in this thread is just people crying about Sony going back to the status quo of the 90s and 2000s. It isn’t that big of a deal.
Enjoy going from going to getting some of my money to none of it, Sony.
Yeah yeah we’ve heard it before. Now I’m not the kind of person to promote suicide, but that’s because if you’re rich or means we won’t get to devour you alive and screaming 🍽️
cool, I won’t buy your games then.
Hasn’t this been tried before?
oh no…wait didnt they say this last time?
Well, there goes my money then
Tell me again how much money they are losing because of Bungie. It’s so funny
I hope that when Horizon 3 is released, they will reconsider this. It’s a series, and people who bought “Horizon: Zero Dawn” and “Horizon: Forbidden West” will be outraged.
I was really happy when I could finally play the horizon games and enjoyed the heck out of them. But if the third one never comes to PC then I’ll just never play it. At worst I’ll be able to just watch the entire thing being played for the story.
Same with part three for ff7 remake. But again I’ll just have to live without it. My console days are over and they aren’t coming back.
Don’t play station!
Wasn’t planning on buying anything with sony’s name on it anyway, so whatever.
Ok… is that supposed to make me sad? didn’t care about exclusives before and this certainly won’t make me care now, regardless which platform wants to do this idiocy.
idgaf I can’t afford a computer with the AI price increase
I could not care less. They don’t make games for me anyway.
Me says i wont be buying garbo consoles when theyre trying to lock them down more than they already are couldnt care less about their games, i will watch them on youtube if i have to

This is what happens when companies become too comfortable.
