Again, Sony doesn't struggle with game releases. It's only a 'blind purchase' if they did. And yes, I do plan on snapping up a PS5 early on......due to that.
The first year is never going to have the best games. That's very much a 'no shit' kind of thing. Doesn't mean there won't be anything to play at launch.The longevity is what will matter more, and if history repeats itself, Sony will have no problems there.
Same can't go for Sony. They've never had issues 'showing the games'. That is all on Microsoft.
The 360 did not dominate last gen. At all. That was the Wii. The 360 sold more units in the United States.
Your second part about dominance is true, but Xbox has never done it and there's no reason to assume it will next gen. Brand will also play a role in places like Europe (where Xbox is so far behind, Sony would have to, literally, stop selling consoles there for them to ever have an edge).
The only reason the systems were 'neck and neck' last gen was due to Sony's early mistakes. Not something magical Microsoft did. Pound-for-pound, Xbox won't ever beat PlayStation when they are on their A game. Europe and Japan will ensure that.
What I CAN see happening next gen is a little more competitiveness out of Microsoft, and if they play their cards right, they'll have closer weeks with the PS5 (they'll still be outsold weekly, though). But, a...
Interesting. I didn't see it posted and now I know why. The duplicate hasn't been approved either.
"Sony is just a small company that only has PlayStation as their source of income"
Based on that statement alone, no one should take anything you say seriously.
Explain how, and why, they'd be 'sweating bullets'. And I chuckle at the 'silent partner' talk. These companies are all in competition for your dollar. The sooner you understand business, the better your discussions will be.
Right now, the last company that should be in a 'trembling' position is the company that just wrecked its closest competitor in a way that would make Rocky Marciano jealous.
'Very underwhelming' for you.
OT: Can't wait to see more of what looks like an absolutely unique experience. Can always depend on Kojima to step away from the "same".
It is a premium PS4. That is still a PS4.
No, it does not.
Yup.
OT: Don't think VR really needed saving, but I'd say that Sony has seemingly pushed it the hardest!
Detroit is also my winner!
Why wouldn't it be?
It is not impossible to outsell the PS2. It is unlikely, however.
He was clearly talking about home consoles (the Wii/PS1 references should have been the dead giveaways).
VGC has had the PS3 at 86m for a few years now.
What benefit does Steam have?
Let's see..... Games that actually work and don't have tons of installation issues on Day 1. Updates that don't take a year to complete. A FAR bigger library, etc, etc... Of all the stores to compare Steam to, the Windows Store is, without a doubt, the worst.
@SegaGamer: Exactly.
A trillion dollars due to being a gaming company?
@nativegoku: Define ‘exceptionally well’.
@XtaZ: Yeah, PS4 was also mocked in the beginning. Means nothing. That’s just what people do. In the end, when their consoles are judged, games are not ever what they lacked.
As for ‘ups and downs’, that’s a side step to the point.
