Arrogant Sony would have gone for the jugular today and announced a Showcase, or dropped a SpiderMan 2 trailer

I think the difference is that even diehard playstation fans recognised how bad Forspoken was. Xbox gamers have done the same for Redfall and its a good thing.
The thing I'm noticing is the pile on for the Xbox brand as a whole. Yes they are not looking too great at the moment but I don't thinks it's as bad as some on this forum and in general are making it out to be.

is not just this forum, is also the entire bubble of the videogame discourse online (social media).
influencers and shills are in this mood as well.
And it IS pretty bad (PR-wise). is a fucking disaster.
Now...MS/Xbox just needs to release ONE AAA GOTY contender to dial down the negativity....that's it.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Reads like a GAF postNah this is arrogant Sony

This wasn't "arrogant" Sony. This was just intelligent Sony.
Arrogant Sony was selling a console for 600 dollars without having high quality games or consistent release schedules, thinking that people would just buy the next system because their previous two did so well. Though, given the recent moves since 2016, I would argue arrogant Sony is certainly on its way back with its hypocritical censorship, moving of HQ to California, and forcing japanese devs to find translators to discuss business (when JPN HQ PlayStation would offer translation services). Give it a few years and I am sure we will see another major fuck up by Sony.
It is always cyclical with any company. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft - doesn't matter who. They will all fuck up in spectacular ways in the future.
Report. Mods have been cleaning up a lot of trash. At least 7 troll threads I saw yesterday are completely gone today and even notable Warriors like Ass of Can Whooping got the boot.Playstation fans need to calm down
Xbox is having a bit of a mare at the moment but some people on this forum are enjoying it a little too much. Noticed a bunch of old troll accounts back online as well.

Pretty much. All MS/Xbox has to do is announce some great looking games at their press event in June, with consistent schedules, and no bullshit promises with CGI trailers hyping things that 5-7 years out. For example in my dreams:
- RareReplay REMIX'd - Rare Replay with every game having benefitted from Boost when able, Sea of Thieves with unique unlockables, remixed challenges (JetPAC with you getting Jiggies or some shit, I dunno. Basically NES Remix but Rare-ified), Golden Eye, and make it available on PC as well. December 2023
- StarField - Buggy, glitchy, but deep and intricate with a focus on RPG mechanics and being a ton of fun. September 6th, 2023 (or switch with Rare Replay to ensure better QA).
- Gears Collection (Gears 1-3 + Judgement) All "remade" using similar assets to the previous Gears 1 remake. MP similar to Halo Collection. All the bells and whistles fans want - August 2023
- Gears 6 gameplay teaser, Summer 2024.
- Forza 8 Gameplay, Full career mode break down, July release date, Digital Only at first. Promise of physical "complete collection" after all DLC is released at a later date.
- Banjo and Kazooie Remake/Remaster (ala Spyro) Shadow Drop, will be part of Rare Replay Remixed as a physical release.
- Avowed, EverWild, Hellblade 2 - gameplay trailers with tentative release dates for seasonal 2024 releases (Summer, Fall, Winter, not in that respective order).
- Tease ES6 with a definitive announcement of where it will take place. Only CGI trailer of the entire presentation.
Every single one of these games, physical release on DISK and no downloads required. No DRM. Make promises to double down on video game preservation and to openly apologize for the mistakes taken with empty promises over the past few years.

Why would you want to draw attention away from this bad press?
This is different from the sharing situation with PS4 and X1.
If Sony could shadow-drop a AAA banger today that would be one thing, but to just announce a showcase... that doesn't do the trick.

Sony really doesn't Greenberg things. Like they didnt brag at the beginning of the gen when the XSX had those tool issues. I really don't see Sony rally up console warriors on social media and then attacking the competition.

This moment gave them some laughter. The moment MS said 499 won them the gen before it even started.

No thanks. Arrogant Sony also gave us the $600 PS3.

You do have to wonder what top brass at PlayStation think about the last week for Xbox.
But no. If Sony's smart, they won't take the opportunity to celebrate. They might get a chuckle out of all of this, but they should take everything, up to and including Spencer's latest interview as a model of what not to do. A cautionary display if I've ever seen one.
Spider-Man 2's proper reveal is obviously imminent, and it doesn't really matter what Xbox is or isn't doing. They've gotta bring the heat on this one.

Sony as a company widely uses AWS.
Azure is irrelevant to them.

This is a ridiculous take. The kind of consumers that won the generation for PlayStation never saw that video. That video was only good for fanboys and console warring. Sony doesn’t need to have a showcase to “strike down” Xbox. They just need to keep pushing content to their platform.

The PS4 launch is exactly when Sony WASN'T arrogant. They were just fun and chill.

Sony don't need to do anything. Xbox is on suicide watch. First the Activision deal, Redfall, then Phil basically burying Xbox himself. Sony just needs to be classy and quiet. There's nothing they can bring to the circus that is Xbox at this point. Maybe a dancing bear wearing a PS5 virtual reality headset...but I digress.

Let me introduce you to Silent Sony...
The only time they speak is when they have narration by a girl that sounds like Mythra from xenoblade chronicles 2. Haha

Instead humble Sony is now selling you $70 dollars overhyped games and a $550 VR headset with no games/backwards compatibility.

No, you’ve got it backwards.
Arrogant Sony fucks up a good thing, and gives an opening to their competition. Arrogant Sony is what led to a $600 PS3 that got its ass kicked by Xbox 360, and took years to recover from.
Arrogant Sony is the reason Phil Spencer should never give up on Xbox, because history has shown that all it takes is one mistake, to gain ground against your competitors.

It will take a lot more than a week for things to get better. I meant a couple of years and then you'll see Xbox start to produce a steady stream of great content.

Ummm…It takes a lot more time to put this kind of thing together. Nothing is done or planned as a “gotcha” reaction to kick someone else when they had a bad moment. It’s not how multinational corporations with thousands of employees operate.
But definitely enjoyed reading your fantasy about it!

What's Next For Sony After Spider-Man 2? - Lords of Gaming
Very little is known about the PlayStation roadmap after Spider-Man 2 this fall. What can we expect to see from Sony over the next year?

OP, it’s weird you used 2014 Sony as an example of arrogant Sony.
It was the complete opposite. Sony then was absolutely in the zone when it came to being pro-gamer, and humble about it - about as much as a massive conglomerate can be.
The PS3 taught them many lessons, and every decision made that made them look so good against Xbox’s terrible decisions helped make PS4 the winner of last gen.
Arrogant Sony is back in force these days, though.

Naw they are very much arrogant Sony right now, they just still know they can't look too aggressive/dominant to the regulators right now because all that crap isn't over yet. Once ABK sorts itself in whatever way that's going to be i have a feeling we will see BOTH Sony and MS get much more aggressive.
