This is the lecture that many people need.


"But at the same time, it comes at the cost of smaller install base. "

Not really that surprising coming from an Ex MS guy, that think and care more about "benefits" than "innovations"

Sony and playstation are opposite and it's one of the reason why to me they've been and still are the best in the industry.

Glad this is the direction took here by Sony, PS4 been feed with incredible games that push it at max for years, and it's still not even finish with TLOU Part 2 and GOT that are coming in the next 2 months, PS4 is ending its cycle in the most glorious way just like past PS platforms. With that being said, so now it's time to let shine the next new generation Playstation Aka PS5 and simply logical for PS's 1st party to focus on the brand new hardware from now on.

When talking specifically about current-gen for instance, Sony knows a majority of it's fanbase is on the PS4. They'll have those games by 3rd party developers that will cater to both PS4/5 platforms for the next two years or so assuming. Xbox will do their thing with the "not leaving players behind " campaign by allowing their games to work via smart delivery. My assumption is that it's geared more towards to their 1st party content. They've done well to have their backwards compatibility work across their platforms. They have their thing and Sony will have theirs. That's going to be the beauty for those who can afford both next-gen Consoles and a reason why I want both personally. There won't be any FOMO from that perspective.

For Sony, their main focus for new, exclusive content will be on the PS5 only. This was part of Jim Ryan's message months back to where they want people to move to the PS5 as quickly as possible. We would think backwards compatibility would be the driving factor to get the PS5, but it seems now tjhat it would only be for those top 100 PS4 games or so that was discussed. Sadly, I think the PS1-3 games may not make it on next-gen. I've made my peace with that.
If they have just the biggest games I won't care anymore based on the commitment to first party focusing only on PS5. After so much talk about SSD's from both sides recently, I have no faith at all that a cross gen game will fully leverage next gen. The argument about PC's not being held back by SSD's is amateur hour stuff. No one has been targeting only systems with SSD's yet, at least that I am aware of.

Not sure if this got posted before the PS5 event confirmation, but thought worth sharing

Scorn dev talks next-gen SSDs, his opinion is the difference between the two will be a matter of diminishing returns


Ah this narrative again. On the one hand..SSD's will open up possibilities for the future...in theory. But on the other hand, having a super fast SSD and I/O complex is really just Sony wasting their money on design that won't give that much return. I see......

Not sure why my prior post was deleted and I was asked to "dial back the trolling", I had no prior trolling to dial back on. My post was just being super-silly about a mistransalation on youtube's closed captions. If it was deemed inappropriate just say so. Being accused of trolling when it was just a bit of levity though...

Seems the negativity rubs off on people who don't even intend on it.

Off for now, c ya folks. Enjoy the reveal!

I think he means when a dev targets a PS5 only game for launch that install base.
Yeap but I don’t think PlayStation ever suffered with that install base issue at launch.
Well Nintendo did with Wii U but definitely not with Wii or Switch.
That install base issue seems more a Xbox thing.

I don’t believe Knack or Killzone Shadow Fall could sell more if launched in a big install base.

Why not have both? Yeah, PS5 is primarily for the upcoming PS5 games. Backward compatibility is a nice bonus because I still have PS4 games which I didn't even start yet.

It will have PS4 BC. Been confirmed many, many times.

This means they are not going to handicap their first party PS5 desgined games by making sure they can also run on the 1.81TF/Jaguar/Slow mechanical HDD jank.

Ah, I didn't realize that...

Halo Infinite has been in development a long time. The theory is that it was supposed to be (and perhaps still is) an xb1 game, But now the Xsex is here they’ll double it up to that.

Little bit of a Twilight Princess situation. Given that xb1, xb1x and xbsx seem to suffer a naming convention failure, the Wii to Wii U comparison might be quite accurate.

Edit: and BOTW of course. Not bad company for halo to keep.
