There is a certain conflict with the idea of a next gen console probably being quite expensive and the goal that Jim Ryan spoke of: getting people to transition to a new gen faster than ever before.

The software offering for the first year seems pretty good so that's a start. But maybe Sony could experiment with the Disney Vault idea that Nintendo is now trying out. Could a new way of driving consumers to your platform be introducing FOMO into the business? It seems to work quite well in the Battle Pass market after all.

No.

Releasing a low-effort ROM pack for a limited time to celebrate an anniversary is not the same as releasing a very expensive new AAA game for a limited time.

Let's just stop this bus right now. What Nintendo's doing is fucking stupid and no one should be following them.

People will want to buy the ps5 to play the game but won't be able to get their hands on a ps5 right away.

i couldn't get my hands on a ps4 until late January. Horrible idea

I guess technically this is a reaction thread so in before lock, but lol I love this thread.

Also, the fact that 90% of the posters in here think the OP is seriously proposing this idea shows how fucked up Nintendo is that they've now made this a potential reality.

I think we should encourage companies to copy good policies, not the other way around.

Even ignoring that not everyone is going to even be able to get a PS5 right away and that several people are probably in the middle of a financial crisis, fuck no.

What do you mean 'should they'? Why would anyone want Sony to make a decision that's worse for the consumer?

Stop. The whole vault style artificial scarcity is such bullshit as it is and I hate that Nintendo is doing it.

Marvel would send over the black helicopters and simply disappear everyone who suggested that idea.

I don't think you realize how popular Spider-Man is.
