I don't buy the whole publishers won't close. More and more middle-sized developers and publishers will close for sure sadly.
Why is Sony still playing catch-up? They actually perform better than Xbox. PS3 got released 1 year later and there is only a difference of less than 2 mio sold units. That is quite incredible. But I also think that Skype and a integrated TV Tuner are overrated. So what do I know?
The reason why Sony might not be into a possible PS5 is Gaikai. Guess we still have to wait for an answer from Microsoft.

Microsoft went from 25 million sales of the Xbox to 76 million sales of the 360, Sony went from 120 million sales of PS2 to 74 million sales of PS3, i'm guessing he's looking at it from the sense of Xbox is expanding while Playstation is diminishing.
"The PC as a gaming device will see a comeback"
Didn't that happen eight years ago?
It's pretty simple actually. PS3 sells in Japan, X360 doesn't.Why is Sony still playing catch-up? They actually perform better than Xbox. PS3 got released 1 year later and there is only a difference of less than 2 mio sold units. That is quite incredible.
Win? The durango is going to slaughter the PS4 next-gen.
When he says "still playing catch up", does he realise that PS3 sales globally have overtaken the 360's?

Except that they haven't. MS increased their marketshare around 300% this gen, Sony lost around 40%.
You're comparing old consoles. I'm comparing PS3 vs 360.

Yeah I think the PC will see the largest growth espacially now that every third party game is probably going to have a PC version.
What's the point of buying these expensive new consoles if they don't have a robust line-up of exclusive games?
I don't think Sony's or MS first party offering are enough to get many people to switch over from their current consoles.
They will switch,these consoles are ancient and that alone will make most move as usual.
It's unclear if ps3 overtook 360 still. As of now it hasn't and even if it did the damage has already been done,its beyond late at this juncture. In order for sony to beat MS they need to beat then in the US since its the biggest and most important market.
Less limitations = More imaginative ideas.
It's like saying better hardware doesn't lead to innovation, only *Spongebob Imagination gif* imagination does.
You don't always need some gimmick to be different, and I loved the Wii and love my Wii U.
A game like, say, RE4 wouldn't have been possible on consoles before that point.
Or Shadow of The Colossus, and even that had a couple of technical struggles.
God of War, Zone of The Enders and so on. At the time, those games offered very unique experiences, that didn't require some different controller input. Just good ideas, and good hardware.
So at the people saying we won't get better and more creative games or game scenarios at some point, LOL. Don't have such a closed mind.

I can't believe Skype is even a bullet point.
I'm sorry, I disagree.
At what point did I say we won't get better games?
I said RAM doesn't breed innovation. RAM will make better performing games with nicer visual touches.
Creatively bankrupt developers will still make the same games, they'll just look and run better.
Creative developers can still innovate on weaker hardware. That's why they're creative.
Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5b in 2011.
MS obviously has big plans for it.
I think it is true, jack said ps3 is at 77 million.Except that they haven't. MS increased their marketshare around 300% this gen, Sony lost around 40%.
Those are innovative games? Really, really bad examples to prove your point.

PC gamers are just as bad if not worse than console gamers for condoning anticonsumer practices.If PS4 "thrives", Sony first party kicks ass and multiplats run the same or better on PS4, the Nextbox can win for all I care.
If Sony dies and there's no alternative to paid for online gameplay and maybe always-online and/or a camera watching me, I will go pc only for next-next-gen and hope that the pc crowd stays wary of such BS and punishes publishers for draconian DRM as it often does already.
