[Forbes Contributor] Sony Can Survive The Next Console Generation By Becoming Nintendo
- Thread starter RevengeTaken
- Start date
Gosh, if only Sony made their own quality exclusives and had some kind of answer to this newfangled streaming technology people keep talking about!
lol yeah. I don't think PS Now is good enough to be a Stadia competitor as-is, but it's kind of ridiculous how people count PS out of the streaming wars when they're currently the biggest player in the space.
Gotta be the attach rate + digital adoption, it really is a money printing machine. PS2 was a cultural juggernaut with minimal competiton, so to see Sony taking in exponentially more money today with a healthy Nintendo and a recovering/stable MS is pretty noteworthy as well
Yeah exactly, Ps2 was the best selling console of all time and trounced the competition yet even with a decent selling xbox and a just as strong selling as PS4 Switch, Sony still made more money in one year then their best 5/6 years at the top.
Shows how much bigger the industry is and how much revenue streams have changed.
People here have become outrageously offended over stuff like this. Developer gives option to take minorities and women out of a game. MUTE
PSASBR2 could be a 1 for 1 smash clone.
They can even do a splatoon clone with PlayStation characters.
I didn't know Sony needed to survive....the hell lol.
They'll be just fine and almost assuredly the market leaders again.

So they should just continue being Sony then. What does Nintendo have to do with it?
I see what you're trying to do and it's not working. That shitty developer got a lot of backlash even on this forum, so that shitty post you just made was for nothing. The fact that you even suggested people around here were mute on that issue says enough about you. You only notice what you wanna notice when it's convenient for you and your narrative.

What? This contributer makes no sense. Why make the nintendo comparison when it just sony doing what they've been doing?
The only reason why Sony's future seems uncertain is that we don't know what they have in store for us yet.
Crazy statement, SONY will be fine doing what they do (AAA Story production) I don't know why SONY would want to be Nintendo. You had that round with Playstation Move, I'm a VR guy but you got to see how Nintendo handled VR.
User Warned: Inflammatory generalizations (based on system wars rhetoric)
That Forbes contributor must visit Era a lot. The quickest way to offend members on here is to compare the "big boyz" to Nintendo. Sony games validates a lot people's manhood here. Notice how quickly this thread started bashing Nintendo as if this was a personal attack lol.
In regards to computational power, was it engineered at all? Didn't they just buy some faulty chi
I know that now, but if you listen to ERA only you could never realized that.
[Forbes Contributor] as a prefix for titles, gives me about the same expectations as "Michael Pachter" did in the past. Just a loud, provocative claim which takes a short-sighted snapshot of the industry and projects it into the middle to long term future.
Great for getting clicks, not so useful as actual analysis.

So, PS4 Pt. 2?
Rest assured, if they're not innovating or trying something to maintain their casual userbase, next-gen won't be that nice for them.
Granted, I assume they are looking to chase market trends.
Yep, "streaming" is going to take the world by storm next gen in the gaming arena. Stadia is going to blow up, and Microsoft will be there to say "I told you so" like it's 2013 again.
If the US isn't a factor in any of this, then sure. Otherwise, not a chance with the current infrastructure.

Sony can survive by doing exactly what they've been doing. Next gen is their generation to lose.
But chasing market trends has only ever turned out to lead to short term success. Sony are in this for the long haul. They might try a few things here and there, but they have a very clear core business. And looking at the numbers it seems to work for them.
This intrinsic need for "innovation" in this industry is just so grating, when all it ever turns out to be is fad after fad after fad, while the core business remains evolution.
As funny are the replies when a Jimquisition or Angry Joe video hits, those Forbes "hot takes" should be avoided in my opinion.
