I’m the same here, y’all just ignore context for stan reasons.

Again I was the ONLY one here to say Cloud would be the actual problem with the merger.

I have not said anything out of the ordinary in here. Been trying
to talk about the merger and the market from a reasonable standpoint, but to y’all if it ain’t “sony is amazing, microsoft is shyt” it means my brain is the mushy one :mindblown:
I’m just say this. Being a real gamer and supporting Xbox don’t sit well with me

imo it’s like a poor person voting for republican ideas


the shyt don’t make sense to me


a console with no games is being applauded by gamers


i will never understand it

And its been that way for over 10 years now. They knowingly went and bought another xbox after Microsoft completely gave up last generation

And this is y’all brain being mush.

Most people playing games are playing games that are on all platforms.

Thats why I have to laugh when they bring up “both systems are the same, yall playing multiplats”

Like no, dummies. We’re playing multiplats AND exclusives, its really that simple.

Not if those games don’t matter to an individual.

Less than 10% of playstation users purchased GOW.

Most people aren’t buying consoles for exclusives. :manny:

Honest opinion, CMA doesn’t really give a shyt about cloud gaming. The sheer size of the purchase is why they squashed it.

Optics are bad if they let 70+ billion dollar acquisitions run unchecked
if it doesn't fit, you must acquit

There are 38 million PS5’s, GOWR has sold well over 11 million copies, how is that 1%?

And if we’re playing that game, throughout the 200M PC users, phones, tablets, and Xbox’s that exist how many are subscribed to gamepass? It must also be a failure then

the game sold 11 million last I heard. And usually next gen sell better than previous gen. So 6 million at worst is ps5. Ps5 sold 38 million.

fukk that even if GOW sold 1 million I think that’s more than 1%


your brain go to mush

GOW is on PS4 as well.

I never called it a failure. I said y’all exaggerate it’s importance.

The 1% was a typo. I meant 10%

There’s a total of about 150 million playstation consoles on the market. GOW selling 11 million copies means around 7% of playstation users purchased the game. And probably half of those were bundles.

Sony themselves said it’s the COD(and others) revenue that makes games like GOW possible. Not the other way around.

COD drop every year with loot boxes and Sony don’t have to spend a dime to fund the game that’s why.

Thats not a revelation, we all know first party software is bait to get people into the eco system. The fact is, is that its really good bait. It’s like AMC relying on blockbuster movies to sell overpriced popcorn and candy. You come for the movie you spend a ton of money on other things.

The main attraction to the platform is still the first party, it defines the brand. Without the brand Playstation is nothing.

The thing is, most people that post on forums and talk about games are enthusiast and that “10%” is what we like the most.
