[@Oram-77]

I would expand that and just say Asia have been carrying .

[@zaidabraham7310]

I have a broad idea of why Western developers are faltering. It's all because of 3 reasons: the pandemic (and it's associated effects), TikTok/short-form video content, and greed. The pandemic gaming-boom led to overinvestment, which was an extremely short-sighted mistake because gaming fell as lockdown measures lifted. And on top of that, the gaming industry appears to be plateauing, partially because of economic downturns globally, but also because TikTok is now dominating people's leisure time (my personal theory) And secondly, the pandemic led to work-from-home policies. Which I'm a big fan of, but it led to delays because studios had to transition i.e. set up infrastructure to support work-from-home. It also brought about a management challenge, which studios needed time to adjust to. Maintaining team synergy (which for gamedev is vital) during WFH is a challenge, and this was worsened by the increased team sizes from over-investment. And lastly, the gaming industry moneymen have no respect for the art and keep pushing GaaS. Partially in hopes to compensate for pandemic overinvestment and effects it had on industry growth, but mostly because they are greedy. Now I bet if you analyzed Japan, you'd see some sharp contrasts with how they dealt with the pandemic, and also how Japanese execs have at least some respect for videogames

[@EatThePath-7]

GaaS, DEI and corpo greed also western AAA games have become quite homogeneous, it's like they got this idea that certain types of games or genres *have to* play in a certain way, or that some types of games can just never be profitable. That's why Halo became more like COD, you don't really get CRPGs from big studios (hopefully BG3 has managed to change some perspectives), every game has to include the same progression systems on their open world or multiplayer (such as battle pass), etc.

[@ALiberalVeteran]

This was just PR stunt. They stopped annoucing sales figures for the game because the sales were very low, and to recoup just the cost it would have had to sale another million copies at least!

[@jasonarnold1990]

Man, when you think about it, we are four years away from a lot of these studios releasing their new games because of this live service disaster. Also the reason why PlayStation ports on PC don’t sell as well, it’s because when you miss that initial launch and hype and momentum no matter what it is, when you sell it a year or two years later, you’re never gonna have the same sales

[@bobbleheadbilly2593]

Yea, agreed If there is going to be an exclusivity window for PC it should be no more than 6 months. Ideally no exclusivity window at all for Sony to cash in on the hype. Once the hype is gone, I just put it on the wishlist and wait for it to go one a steep discount (that is if I still want to play it at all at that point)

[@Luke973T]

Eh i dont know about that. Sea of thieves is really old and sold over a million when it came to playstation. Forza horizon 5 will be interesting saleswise on ps5 too. If someone has a pc and not a ps5 then nothing is stopping them from playing it on pc whenever it comes...there's always a huge advertisement on the steam page when sony games launch and trailers all over KZbin. If playstation shortens the window any further on their games coming to pc then I don't see much point in getting the ps6. I'll surely upgrade my pc when gta6 launches on steam which will be one year prior or the same year as the ps6 launch. Sony isn't Microsoft and can't afford not to sell consoles.

Gravity Rush, etc. They've been so hyper stuck on a tiny selection of IP like Horizon and God of War that its gotten incredibly boring. And shallow. And predictable. There needs to be games for young children. There needs to be games made for 10+ or older. There needs to be games for teens. And there needs to be games for 17+ and older. Sony's been so stuck in the Teen-Mature range that it's like they've forgotten kids deserve high-quality games too. And titles like Spyro, Ape Escape, Ratchet and Clank and more can be both kid-friendly and absolutely blasts to play - for kids _and_ adults.

Xbox 360 was not the best of that generation my guy, perhaps early on, but not how it panned out in the end.

If MediaMolecule makes Little Big Planet 4 I’ll literally buy a PS5 for it! I used to watch LBP gameplay videos on KZbin all the time and that along with Motorstorm is what made me get a PS3

Playstation should decide whether they want to sell games or force people to create a playstation account to sell that info. It's one or the other, not both.

[@bdizzle9586]

They actually don’t both. Not sure why it pains you so much.

With SteamOS becoming open source I am genuinely interested to see if someone can put together a 'console' running it that will end up competing with PS/XBox. Because I use my Steam Deck all of the time. I used my PS5 so little I just sold it.

I think something was weird about the way Jim Ryan left. It came out of left field, and Sony went head first off a cliff almost immediately. I feel like there's an interesting story in there sonewhere

PlayStations floundering is a direct result of little to no competition in the marketplace. It’s a bummer and this is what we have to look forward to for the next 10 years.

A few shameless cash grabs is to be expected and not a problem. When your entire business model is shameless cash grabs that’s a problem.

[@bigboss-c8k]

The GAMES are not selling as much but the thing is ps4 games where like 20 to 10 dollars like 6 months after coming out . PS5 games can take like 2 years to hit 40 dollars. So technically they can sell less but bring in more revenue. horizon forbidden west was put on a subscription with killed it sales, not that I am a horizon fan.

Returnal only selling 1 million is criminal. No wonder companies are looking other directions if an awesome, creative and new AAA single player game only moved a million copies

Yep. It’s gamers fault. Can’t complain about making new IP or creative games then not buy them or support them. Wonder why companies look at live service data and think, that’s where the gamers are.

Playstation is doing great.

[@jman3657]

there are no first party exclusive games anymore because every game on PS5 will have a PC port

[@israelruiz8706]

I think the worst part is that they had set up the reputation for having the great single player narrative games. They could've just kept building on that but instead they chased trends that only bit them in the ass. So much money and time wasted on the live service games. I know live service games have the potential to generate more revenue but they should've had a better plan. Instead of pumping out 10 bad live service games. They could've done 2 great single player games and like 2 live service games. They probably would've actually made some profit that way

[@thefrothingotter]

So what it appears to be is Sony, like Microsoft buys up a lot of smaller development companies, then the suits get involved and want the developers to make games that a good chunk of the gaming community doesn't want such as live service. Or they demand that titles get have a unrealistic release window which results in buggy incomplete games... which the gamin community doesn't want. Just my observation

[@DoomWalker42]

Horizon is one of the primary games I think of when I think of PlayStation. Lots of people did not play it because the main character was a woman and we all know the truth behind those gamers.
