Sony hate thread

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

You called Spider-Man and Uncharted 4 meh but Killzone: Shadow Fall good?

And some of these are even debatable as "good".

Uncharted 4 is feminist power fantasy trash and nigger worship, Nadine is retarded and anyone who likes that game is a faggot.

Uncharted 4 is feminist power fantasy trash and nigger worship, Nadine is retarded and anyone who likes that game is a faggot.

I never actually saw the Nadine vs Nathan Drake fight scene until like two days ago in one of Itsagundam's videos because I don't like Uncharted but it was the first time in a long time I cringed irl.

Nathan's like a foot taller and eighty pounds heavier than Nadine and when he tries to punch her she expertly parries and then with a tiny flick of her wrist sends a 200+ pound man flying backwards into a wall like he got hit by a car.

The entire fight is like this, is she fucking Homelander or something?

Based on what happened with Uncharted 4 in retrospect I think we should have all seen Abby coming. Druckman's thing is clearly women dominating men.

Maybe I could overlook it if she beat Drake 1v1, even if it was easily. The games are unrealistic enough to just roll your eyes and keep going if that was the case. But she beat Nate & Sam 2v1, handily.

IIRC, Sam is even bigger than Drake. They'd literally have raped her, I don't care how fantastical some of the elements of Uncharted are. They may as well have put that cunt in a cape and have her shoot eye lasers at them.

Final results of the japanese Famitsu game charts dropped in, so we can basically sum up the nippon situation for the whole year of 2021:

-Despite the increase of 72k PS5 hardware units sold during the Christmas/New Year weeks, only two PS games made up in the chart on the first holiday week (Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires with 18k on PS4 and 7,5k on PS5).
-In spite of the initial stock shortages in the first few weeks, the Switch OLED model has surpassed in hardware sales (875,765 units) what the base PS5 sold in a full year (854,951 units)
-Switch made up 89% of the physical game sales in 2021 (19 million for 154 games), PS4 game sales 9% (1,8 million for 69 games), and barely 2% for the PS5 (470k for 25 games).
-Best-selling games in the respective platforms were: Monster Hunter Rise (Switch - 2,350,693 units), Tales of Arise (PS4 - 213,474 units), Resident Evil Village (PS5 - 72,761 units)
-30/30 went from being an unprecedented thing the Famicom (NES) did once when it had no competition three decades ago to happening five times in a single year for the Switch. Even at the height of Sony dominance in Japan, the highest any Playstation ever got was a single week of 26/30 for the PS1.
-Famitsu has been publishing the annual Top 10 since 1996, and it's the first time ever that a Top 10 is dominated by a single platform in 2021.

Things are really fucked up for SIE and I doubt 2022 is going to be any better for the PS5 which doesn't have anything of notable before late February and not much else later.

oh no you posted japanese stats again i can hear the autistic screechings of an angered marissa moira from here godfuckingdammit
That doesn't really surprise me. The Switch, OLED or no, simply caters to the Japanese lifestyle better; giving you the choice between sedentary or on-the-go gaming is perfect for a culture that depends on constant movement and travel to survive and thrive. Whereas a PlayStation, you have to have a dedicated setup for and you can't take the PS5 with you anywhere because of how stupidly wide it is in comparison to its competition.

Sony sets out to conquer entertainment world with anime

Sector primed to take center stage among the group's studio businesses

asia.nikkei.com

I don't really think sony is going to be in a bad position the way everything else is going. Especially since even Korea is also now bringing fourth it's game industry to be mainly for an international audience.

The new Playstation+ tiers are going to have shit tied to anime and they're secured more cross-promotion deals with kadokawa for games and IPs. Most of the Japanese companies for entertainment are going for western markets at this point. The whole One Sony Policy that Japan initiated has everything run through playstation and that's pretty much the centerpiece of the whole operation.

Compared to how they reacted to the PS3 which most definitely underperformed, they still solved that by throwing money at the right places.. From 2014-2020 Japan bought around 8% of the PS4's total hardware from year to year, their 2021 numbers have shown that they still bought 8% of the PS5s.

SIE Japan tried with the PS4/Vita ecosystem combo but it wasn't anywhere as practical because it required two separate devices (and the PS Vita depended on the proprietary memory cards for extra cost) and often buying two separate versions of the games (DLCs purchased on the PSN were often shared between PS versions however). There was that Remote Play feature to play PS4 games on the Vita although it was basically streaming.

Also for the matter, Sony and Sony Music Japan (which owns Aniplex for example) =/= SIE (the american branch controlling Playstation).

Sony Group has already altered the way Aniplex operates

Aniplex acquires Fate/Grand Order development team

DelightWorks' gaming division to split off and form new studio under publisher

www.gamesindustry.biz

After the acquisition, being spun off into their own company and won't be part of Sony Music, they're becoming another one of Sony's development houses.

It's heavily suspected that many of their mobile developers will also be roped into VR development. Already they have support studios in asia that are doing both VR and Mobile.

That reminds me, it's 2022, next month is the 10 year anniversary of the PSVita

Here's to 10 years of being perplexed as to why Sony squandered the Vita and never advertised it much. A decade later, Nintendo's 30/30ing all over the place with their portable, and Sony is getting what they deserve.

It was due to their phone games taking off and the PS4 doing well everywhere else that it made Vita exclusives hard to justify. Because why spend money on a console quality game for a portable when the actual console is already well established and outdoing the handheld?

The Vita and PSP lived and died by their global sales from the start, it's why tail end shit for both systems was never brought over to other places because they were long discontinued in the larger markets. They do however seem to be wanting to support VR still because it's not infringing on anything else that they're already running.

It was due to their phone games taking off

Bullshit. The 3DS says hi.

Because why spend money on a console quality game for a portable when the actual console is already well established and outdoing the handheld?

The Switch says hi, too.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Bullshit. The 3DS says hi.


The Switch says hi, too.

The switch is a hybrid while the other machines were most definitely not. They each needed their own versions, most of the time the PS4 and Vita versions of a game were separate lists.

3DS wasn't exactly console quality games because Monster Hunter 3U had severe quality drops compared to the Wii-U version they were nowhere near similar in graphics, performance, and controls(the 3ds needed a whole addon to play comfortably). Square Enix also didn't bother to export the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 11 because they felt it was too low quality to make it in other markets.

I've got around 45+ Vita games and most of them wound up ported to somewhere else while the system was still current. You have stuff like Tales of Hearts R which are still on the system and that's the last of the big games for it.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

As much as I do like to see Soyny floundering, I anticipate their situation might temporarily improve this year. They've got a few games lined up that will probably do pretty well. Soyboys will eat up Horizon and Soy of War (still lmao that Kratos is canonically a "raging bisexual"). Final Fantasy XVI might be delayed but it's a big one (as in, a pile of shit).

Aside from another Splatoon and Breath of the Wild 2 (no way that's not being delayed for Switch 2/Pro), Nintendo only has spin-offs announced for their big franchises like Pokemon and Mario. Sony's software sales will likely see a good boost because of that.

There's a fair chance Switch 2 is coming 2023 though, if not a Switch Pro. And then Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime 4, and that new mainline Mario game will likely release then too. I expect Sony will be slaughtered in then.

 

[Pissmaster]

No way in hell

if not a Switch Pro.

Unlikely, too. The chip shortage goes all the way down to shortages of silicon itself. I've never heard of a shortage of an element before.

It has been 5 years, I don't see Nintendo holding onto the exact same hardware without at least a proper revision for 7+.

Shortages are obviously a problem, just look at Steam Deck's delay. But it's still coming out. If Steam can get a new console out now, then I bet Nintendo can get a revision going by holiday season 2023. Absolute latest would be Q1 2024.

Where there's money to be made, they'll find a way.

At least they picked the one culture known for gay shit to make gay. Making Norse gods black however…

Also Kirby and Pokémon looks good for switch, so it’s not an empty year.

Are you still on this fucking mythical Korean industry bid kick to defend Sony!? Goddamn man.

They polled South Korea primarily, and its one poll; its not indicative of worldwide game performance or even Asian game sales. Its not even indicative of actual Korean sales.

^Alongside all the responses from this stupid debate last time.
Just because you keep saying it's happening doesn't mean that it's happening.

Y'know I'd say "tell me you're a consoomer without telling me you're a consoomer" but let's be real: you've been having one hell of a time in this thread letting everyone know just how much how suck Sony's corporate cock religiously, endlessly lurking the thread for any naysayers that dare speak against the NoCoomStation so...
