So you can point out their flaws but they can't point out yours?
Seems pretty hypocritical to me.
I have a Switch because I'm a multiplatform gamer, I guess you're not a true gamer.
We're six months into the generation and Sony has published a wide variety of games and has a variety of big and small games coming in the near and medium future. It's clear that nothing is going to make you happy and you just want to complain about Sony. .
We're not even a year into the generation. How many games do you expect Sony Studios to have announced?
Astro's Playroom
Demon's Souls
Destruction AllStars
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Nioh Remastered
Nioh 2 Remastered
All Sony published games that have released on PS5 less than 6 months into the generation. How many games has Microsoft released so far...
"The quality is not the same, that's the problem. Instead of games like Gravity Rush, Concrete Genie, and The Last Guardian, we are getting Nintendo wannabe games."
This is so dumb on so many levels.
Sony IS publishing a variety of games. And we're at the very start of the generation quality will improve (not that I agree in the slightest that it's bad). And Sony and Microsoft could only dream of making games as popular as Nintendo....

Who paid to make those games happen? What's the problem if they have their big studios working on big games and they outsource and 2'nd party smaller titles?
What's the problem? That seems like a pretty good strategy to get the most out of your money.
And if they are only making one thing what about VR it seems that seems like a pretty varied investment to me.
Do they have a wide variety of S...
But that's the lie. They don't focus on the same type of game, what about Astro Bot, Sackboy Destruction All-Stars, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank. Sony still makes a wide variety of games.
This is all just a smear.
Jason Schreier has a proven track record of being surrounded by controversy, not journalistic integrity.
But this isn't true.
They put out Sackboys Adventure smaller budget, Returnal smaller budget, Destruction All-Stars smaller budget the PS5 comes with Astrobot pre-installed for goodness sake.
What about when the news is 90% negative and based on rumor, speculation and opinion?
Congratulations, give anyone a trillion dollar budget and anyone can make anything successful.
"Or use xbox rewards to pay for gamepass simply by playing games."
But of course don't you dare point out that Microsoft is subsidizing gamepass.
Ah but you miss the critical detail. Those studios were nearly exclusively making games for PlayStation before they were purchased.
Microsoft is buying companies that were making multiplatform games. They were already getting the games from the majority of the studios, when they bought them all they did was keep future games off Nintendo and Sony consoles.
"instead of searching for ways to discredit halfway legitimate news, maybe apply that same scrutiny to the corporation making the self-serving denials?"
If the news is only halfway legitimate then I think the logical thing to do would be to challenge it not accept it blindly. And when you talk about self serving, remember Sony and AMD are legally responsible to their share holders. Bloomberg can say anything they want they don't have to prove what they say is ...
"And yet the numbers tell us a different "truth" altogether, don't they."
No, they are producing chips (consoles) twice as fast as Microsoft. And they are on pace to match or exceed PS4.
You would think that is Sony was having some kind of production issue that was reducing their production by 50% (which would be one of the worst production ratios in the history of chip manufacturing) that they wouldn't be producing more than ...
So, to boil down this entire article that's full of contradictions.
The complaint is that Sony wants to make games that will be profitable?
Seems like a smart business decision to me.

Profitable, doubtful...
It's hard to tell because you can never see their expenses. It's extremely likely that what they are charging for gamepass is far far less than what they are paying. And buying Bethesda was almost certainty not within the budget of xbox's profits.
I'm not even sure why you would argue against the idea that Microsoft is spending more than xbox makes. It's a tiny part of their total p...
You don't like free games from Play at Home, or the huge improvement in the PS+ games on PS4 or the day 1 PS5 games?
I feel like Jim and PlayStation aren't getting enough credit for what they're actually doing.

I'm quite certain the problem isn't with what I said. But it's your lack of understanding of the laws outside of your home country mixed with years of misinformation and poor geopolitical education.
