Enough with these clickbait crap articles. It won't affect shit so fuck off.

It won't

PlayStation is too well entrenched to be significantly affected by Stadia no matter what Google does. PlayStation's got nothing to worry about so long as they continue with their unique single player games.

Google could make some inroads, but nothing that could put Sony on their heels.

Anyone who keeps thinking Sony is just sitting back will be surprised

It won't affect Playstation as a console but it could give PSNOW a run for its money. Especially is Google offers a FREE version of the service.

I will be a PlayStation customer as long as it exists . They have been the best company for the majority of my life and Nintendo is close behind but had a big drought in the middle

big time

it all comes down to how casuals respond to Stadia

google can do what they want with stadia - i'm looking forward to ps5

It shouldn't affect my PS5 purchase at all.

As long as sony keeps pumping out epic exclusives they will not have a problem. Xboxone on the other hand, they live and thrive off 3rd party games, so google will most definitely hurt them. in the next month, sony has the ONLY MLB sim coming out in mlb 19 the show thats exclusive and days gone which is also exclusive. What exclusive does xboone have coming out in the next few months?? Whats nintendo have exclusive wise in the next few months also???

By not affecting it.

It will affect PlayStation by making it first place out of four systems, instead of first place out of three. On the plus side, XB1 earning bronze doesn't seem as bad by comparison as I don't think the Stadia can even compete with it. Actually, scratch that. The Stadia needs to earn its place just to be added to the rankings. I mean, no one ever considered the placement of the Ouya and Steam Box because they sold so poorly. There's the Stadia's initial competition. It needs to outsell both of those.

No.

This fight is really only against Microsoft until they start making games.
You want amazing experiences to fit within the gen.. Sony is a given.
If anything, it would boost the need for a PlayStation for their exclusives and lower the need for an Xbox.
Software sells hardware, we all know that, but also a service. Even if Sony opens up a service so that their games are played elsewhere, it would still be a Sony service you will then need and worth investing in.
Third party games can be had anywhere and if a player wants to chill somewhere other than on a console connected to tv... that option is becoming more and more fluid with one brand.
If anything, it is killing the need for multiple devices. The power war is over unless there is a gap too huge to ignore for that console/tv experience.
It’s all about the games first and foremost.
Thus far, only Nintendo and Sony has delivered consistently over the YEARS.

It will not affect Playstation. PS Now is already running. xCloud and Stadia are the ones going in for a battle as for Stadia, streaming is their only focus while for xCloud, streaming is the last change Microsoft have to try to find success on gaming.

Tbh they wouldn't need to compete they could do a patent that with next gen hoping to be 4k 60fps that they could give u more power like higher rez or maybe better physics and graphics to it's current next gen without using much connection.

So its like having your next gen which can do 4k already and ability to use little amount of connection to the servers to give u a major boost to provide 8k maybe 8k textures u get the hint .

more people will buy a ps5?

It wont

Not in the slightest. Next question.

Ps5 will be bought i have too slow of internet and am far away from any server farm.

I'm already prepared to buy the PS5. Sony goddess, bring that goty machine right away.

It doesn't have a chance to affect Playstation or Nintendo those 2 consoles are going to keep doing great with sales they will affect Microsoft though exclusives matter without them this thing flops.

I was whaching GameInformer video on this...reporting from GDC ... And the guy was on Skype. He is talking about Stadia while at the same time his Skype stream is 360p 15 frames, and I am like..are they even serious? People having hard time about game downloads and updates, yet they are gonna stream in 4k 60, with controls? Nope. Only a small percentage of people living next to Google.

Nah!! I will believe it when I see it, which developers have bought into it and what games will be available. So far I could care less, Sony and the PS5 is still my future purchase until I'm convinced otherwise.

playstation is untouchable at this point, don't worry about it

one thing I've noticed about all these articles is they never compare Stadia to MS cloud gaming. because they are both going for the same crowed, wouldn't that have a bigger impact on MS than Sony?

is there a hate on for PS? because all i read is "crossplay" this and "Stadia vs PS" that. and it's stupid.

where are all the "why is MS making people pay to play F2P games?" which to me is a bigger deal.
or " MS should be worried that Google streaming could hurt MS cloud gaming"

any excuse to hit Sony and they will do it.

A greedy corporation salivating over gaming profits is trying to come into the market where they have zero affiliation with entertainment nor software nor hardware. Not interested. Next.

I don't think people should underestimate the stupidity of alot of gamers out there. This could easily gain traction. It is because of gamers that the industry is a mess right now.

Playstation will still provide great exclusives, until everyone is forced to stream and even then Sony will have the best exclusives on their streaming service, when the day comes.

What about, how ps5 Will afect stradia?

It'll affect xbox more than playstation tbh.

Stadia is formally a gaming platform but we all know it will be just another advertising platform from Google.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
