Yeah my bad I forgot about it, was in the tram XDDoesn't need more powerfull hardware.
- Death stranding is a full exclusive
Sony music is now the biggest music publisher and owner in the world, they should launch a service where streamers can play music on stream for a monthly subscription fee. This could be integrated into direct streaming from the console, making it very simple.
Keep in mind, they used to offer such a service and shut it down, when they started integrating Spotify in the PS4.I’d switch easy from Spotify if the content was there and it were like half as cheap due to a PS+ subsidy.
Vue should get the same treatment.
first off, there is no way microsoft is being nearly as bonehead next gen. they have a few more studios now (1 more than sony actually.)

With competition from Google and a reignited Xbox division, I'm not sure how PS5 could surpass PS4, unless the console market grows(this gen saw a huge decline).
first off, there is no way microsoft is being nearly as bonehead next gen. they have a few more studios now (1 more than sony actually.) and they have changed a bit. they will certainly sell more xboxes next gen
Google is also incoming and we have the switch that will still do well into the launch of ps5. corporations always want growth and what not. how will sony manage to sell more consoles next gen?.
I was thinking they should try to cement their self in China and they are doing that. but also support the Japanese development especially exclusive JRPGs 'n what not.
what do you think? level 5 is struggling right now would acquiring them be a good move ? I think it might be for japan. they are one of the top 5 devs in japan.
while unconfirmed. pretty much its universally agreed upon that next gen consoles are launching in 2020. console launches are usually a big deal for the company as well. as we saw with PS4 Sony acquired a cloud streaming service to build PS Now. what is their next big move?
Please tell me you're not the guy from the Blu-ray thread and you that you didn't just bring it up here.Cds made development easier on the PSX, but it wasn't a new thing and was already a popular medium when it came out, plus, it wasn't used the same way as DVD with the Ps2, no one was buying the PSX as a CD-player or VCD player in droves.
The PS3 also was nothing like the PS2, Blu-Rays only success, under questionable means, was beating HD DVD, after that Blu-Ray struggled and hindered the PS3 badly. People were not lining up buying a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player not even a 5th as much peoole were buying a Ps2 as a DVD player.
Blu-Ray was detrimental, it wasn't good for games then and got many complaints, especially on laser issues, freezing, and installs, it cost Sony a ton and the system wasnt selling enough to off set losses, it caused Sony to implode, cut divisions, sell buildings, restructure, layoff hundreds of thousands over that period, and basically still haven't made up those losses today going the original Xbox route and writing it as a permanent loss.
PS5, it wont have anything introduced with it, Microsoft and Google have streaming and the former has 4k Bluray.
The only thing to differentiate the PS5 out the gate is launching with gen 2 VR, but formats are out of the question. It seems Sony knows this as they are slowing down their streaming build-up and putting a good amount of focus on VR as well instead of trying to out race MS and Google.
Question is, is VR enough. There's already a hint of hype burn-out and stagnation now. The excitement won't be as high if it's not wireless and less weighty. Not to mention the competition is already heading to consoles soon in one way or another.
Maybe bring back 3D through VR? Could be interesting.

Blu-ray is not the devil. CDs and DVDs are in the past, move on.
Jesus Christ. How many times do you insist on repeating this total and utter bullshit? There is not a shred of truth to this statement. The only measure by which bluray is a failure is when it is compared to DVD. That is really truly the only metric.Did you read The post? It's not a hate thing it's a fact, BR hindered the PS3 and hurt Sony financially, it also caused numerous game issues as well in the first few years.
The OP is comparing the BR of the PS3 to the amount of people buying a PS2 for DVD. No one did that a 5th as much for the PS3. In fact PS2 is the only time people brought a Sony consoles just for a format is large droves.
There is no point. He continues for reasons that are beyond anyone's comprehension to beat this drum of "bluray ruined everything." It is pure and utter FUD and has no basis in reality. He has been banned several times because every time he gets called on his BS, he resorts to name calling.Please tell me you're not the guy from the Blu-ray thread and you that you didn't just bring it up here.

Yes! Very much this! Obrigado Sony we appreciate your support.One thing Sony already does well and doesn't get enough credit for is localisations. Their 1st party titles have the best localisations in the gaming industry, regarding amount of languages and quality of voice acting.
False! I actually bought a PS3 in 2007 and found the bluray feature to be the best addition. I bought Resistance Fall of Man, Both Pirates of the films on Blu and Casino Royale and they were absolutely breathtaking.You are denying BR hindered the PS3 yet it was one of the primary reasons for $599, large money losses that resulted in restructuring, early PS3s having laser issues, and multi game installs.
You say these facts arent true when you have no facts your self, no one that actually owned a PS3 is going to agree with you and deny these never hapoened, they did.
Of course you never owned one so how would you know that?
I disagree with this. Last gen it wasn't a big deal, but with such a high percentage of games being digital purchases, it becomes a much bigger deal. BC is a much bigger deal now that before. Thankfully them staying with AMD should make this much easier to implement.outside of the lack of crossplay Sony murdered it this gen...its there's for the taking again if they just continue what they did with the 4...if they can have the backward compatibility that would be dope (its not a make or break feature but would be nice to have) with their exclusives i'm always gonna buy a PS so they will always get a sale from me..better VR would also do well for it to help grow the VR scene..having that wow factor can lure some people in since MS isn't focused on adding it

Mine was Resistance two Dualshock and Casino Royal.... And couldn't leave the store with out burning another 39,99 (if I'm not mistaken) on the PS3 BR remote lolFalse!

Fun games to play that aren't movies in disguise.
is that it? i mean thats fine and all but what is the big selling point? games are obviously thats a given but they won't be the only one with games
ps1 selling point, cd player. ps2, dvd player, ps3 was the blu ray player. ps4 was the fact that microsoft went ape shit. and ps5? whats that gonna be?.
MS now wants to be a service it means xbox lost its unique value, if people want a MS game they can buy a PC, if they want PS5 exclusive they will buy a PS5, Ms is only helping PC, on PC Steam is king
This.
This is one of the biggest reasons I feel this idea of Sony worrying about MS is sorta silly. Sony very much sees that MS as a company is looking for their software moving better units on MORE devices vs creating exclusives.
Some either don't want to see it or admit it, or don't factor it in. This is a MAJOR thing, its MS saying they are not in the game of creating exclusives anymore, they are basically a 3rd party developer. So as someone that owns a PS console and gaming PC, MS has given me zero reason to buy a XB, in fact they've given me more and more reason to just keep my PC (or upgrade for next gen), so MS may have sold me on a few titles based on those purchases they made, but they haven't sold me on buying a XB next gen, but maybe that is the point of what MS is doing now. They can't move the same units as Sony on home console, they've tried for 3 generations and clearly this is a thing Sony knows like no other. They can't move to the handheld space as Nintendo has pushed even Sony out of that lol. What MS can do is leverage the PC market, but this means leaving behind this exclusive concept, which clearly will mean less XB sales. This makes sense for MS exact situation, but I see MS going further as its likely those rumors on MS looking to put titles on Switch could very much be true and I think its just the beginning of them moving to other platforms and going 100% 3rd party.
TLDR
This will leave the market even more to Sony, they will make PS5 clearly with titles you can only find on PS5 vs Switch, PC, phones etc. Someone like me has ZERO reasons to buy a XB next gen, I'll just do my same set up next gen PS5 and a gaming PC.
first off, there is no way microsoft is being nearly as bonehead next gen. they have a few more studios now (1 more than sony actually.) and they have changed a bit. they will certainly sell more xboxes next gen
Google is also incoming and we have the switch that will still do well into the launch of ps5. corporations always want growth and what not. how will sony manage to sell more consoles next gen?.
I was thinking they should try to cement their self in China and they are doing that. but also support the Japanese development especially exclusive JRPGs 'n what not.
what do you think? level 5 is struggling right now would acquiring them be a good move ? I think it might be for japan. they are one of the top 5 devs in japan.

MS is still way behind Sony and google is just the beginning. Sucess for playstation is locked as long as they don't fuck it up.
The problem is not ps5, but what comes next after it.
ive been hearing the console wars are over for 20 years, the console wars will never be over.
i agree with your reason, i should have specified that a casual consumer probably wouldn't be so hype about this as ppl like us that pay attention to these details. some of my friends barely go back to last gen games once the shiny new system comes outI disagree with this. Last gen it wasn't a big deal, but with such a high percentage of games being digital purchases, it becomes a much bigger deal. BC is a much bigger deal now that before. Thankfully them staying with AMD should make this much easier to implement.
I've also heard MS is going third party for 15 years, that hasn't happened either.
I also love people believing Microsoft is removing the walled garden, all their "any device" moves still have locked gardens it's just spread out more, many people are still going to be forced to buy Xbox consoles, Microsoft isn't stupid they are underhanded and clever as usual. They always have some scheme in the works.
They basically are at this point, you'll see all of their services on other devices and probably expansion to other devices as well with natively playing, not sure what you think third party is.... you're already there.
They're basically jailbreaking their own device, I'm not sure how anyone would see it otherwise. If I can play my PS4 games natively on my PC, without buying PS4 or buying a service - I would say that is jailbreaking it, not sure what the difference is.
At this point, they might as well just put full win10 on there (XOne) or the ability to play win32 on your Xbox One.
You really don't understand the plan is all. Xbox sales wont be effected.
The walled garden is still there, but you're not seeing that. The buzzwords like "play anywhere" have got you thinking it's not about hardware. Oh that's not the case, even The new versions of Windows coming up will aid keeping the walls up.
