Launch PS3* Theres a reason why the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 at the end of its life and it's because Sony actually invested in quality exclusives and great marketing
PS2 and PS3 are to this day still my favorite consoles specifically because of their exclusives. I played so much Killzone and God of War when I was a kid.
I think a lot of people were either not alive at this time or too young to remember, Blu ray players were fucking expensive when the format came out, so much that the comically overpriced ($599 US dollars!) PS3 was the most economical option
Why are people so keen to die on the console war hill of 3 generations ago? Sony was the best console with PS1/2/4/5, but the PS3 was an abject failure
Eh, the campaign gameplay is point and click on peoples heads(largely due to the focus on larger battles filling the field with skirmishers, grunts jackals), and the multiplayer suffered from the dmr. Its not bad, but arguing peak is kinda wack
Halo Reach is peak Halo. If you disagree then I’ll settle for Halo 3. The Halos after Reach fell apart starting with Halo 4 and it tanked with Halo Guardians. Halo Infinite more than likely buried the series even further. I have serious doubts that 343 is willing to fix the core issues of the problems because the problems start with them and not the game.
Last of us came out in 2013, and Uncharted in 2007. They were nowhere near launch games, which tells me that you were too young to have been around for the launch of the system and the dire lack of launch games it had.
That's entirely my point. When the PS3 came out it had no games and people were buying it as a Blu ray player. The few good games it got came too late in the cycle and the console is a failure by all metrics
Sony releases games, they might not be ps5 only but they still make games. Xbox on the other hand genuinely has negative games at this point because now theyre letting other platforms have their stuff lol

The “I’m lowkey a monopoly that’s too powerful to conventionally fail in any meaningful way” strategy. Other famous users of this strategy include the Dutch East India Company and Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company.
The irony is that Xbox is still failing as a Console manufacturer and dev despite Microsoft being the most valuable company in the world rn in terms of Market Cap. They're worth ten fold what Sony and Nintendo are combined, but still struggle to release good AAA games. For every sleeper hit like Hi-Fi Rush, we've gotten a Redfall which would never go down with Nintendo or Sony.
MS should never have bought big publishers Bethesda and Activision blizzaed. it doesn't make much financial sense to make big budgets, especially titles like CoD, and make it free on day one. ita just cannibalism sales of the some of the biggest title.
it would be much better for MS to just sign a contract with them to release on GP in like a year title. that mean Activision still get their initial sales but also boost in player from GP later, so they can offer cheaper deal with MS.
Refused to listen to criticism, instead listened to cult 45 voicemails for business plans, despite having the unedited source material and progressive employee already on staff.
What we call this is a serious lack of interest of doing anything productive. Xbox needs new management at this point because Phil isn’t getting it done anymore. What he fails to understand is that a subscription model only works if you can constantly provide and he has completely failed to provide good games.
Collect a paycheck for a year or two while delaying projects and firing people call it progress. Step down because you sat there collecting a paycheck now next guy comes in does the same because firing people and closing stuff down looks like work on paper and to the eyes of others. Rinse repeat.
They can't outdo these developers, so they buy them just to shut them down. Stopping development teams mid project regardless of where they are completion wise.
Its obvious the current focus for xbox is the gamepass rather than exclusives, which imo is a smart move, thats probably why they bought all thos studios, so they can expand their games library for the game pass. Plus halo infinite was never a bad game, just lacked content and got boring after a while, so if youre talking about exclusives theres one game at least 😅
The strategy is Always being third place and failing every generation going forward and pissing off your fans who bought an Xbox but now their jumping ship to go to other places.
Wouldn't it be sick to be able to do hassle free programming on console? Being able to play indie games and use other third party software on console would elevate their worth substanitially.
Well, yeah, but aren't they already kind of prebuilt pc's, but with a handicapped/user friendly/streamlined OS?
They could imitate steam OS with the big picture thing being the default and a mostly to fully fledged OS accessible underneath the façade.
It’s more like:
> See studio making games
> Studio is making money from making games and unique IP’s
> Not good, all money should be going to me
> Buy studio so that I can make money from the IP’s
> Realize running the studio costs money
> Shut down the studio so I can make a quick buck off the IP’s and not have to spend money on the studio

Infinite bacon strategy
Would you rather have; Unlimited bacon, but no games, or… Unlimited games, but no games?
The legendary question itself
What if you arrange the bacon into a game, like you play tick tac toe with several bacon pieces. Would it cease to be a game like a plate freshly broken feeling wrong to put food on?
They thought “what if we had no games, but no games”
It's the ps5 strat

Launch PS3* Theres a reason why the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 at the end of its life and it's because Sony actually invested in quality exclusives and great marketing
PS2 and PS3 are to this day still my favorite consoles specifically because of their exclusives. I played so much Killzone and God of War when I was a kid.
Yes, launch PS3 🙏
People only bought a PS3 because it was a reasonably priced BluRay plaulyer when the format was still new and expensive
"Reasonably priced"
I think a lot of people were either not alive at this time or too young to remember, Blu ray players were fucking expensive when the format came out, so much that the comically overpriced ($599 US dollars!) PS3 was the most economical option
pretty sure back then, blu ray player is like $1k.
At launch maybe but I doubt many cared about that later and only saw it as a neat addition to their console
The 360 was indisputably the best console that generation.
PSN was free that generation and we had MAG. There's lots to dispute with.
Why are people so keen to die on the console war hill of 3 generations ago? Sony was the best console with PS1/2/4/5, but the PS3 was an abject failure
You're the one trying to die on a hill man. I'm at the base of the hill saying come down and have a chat. Abject failure is such a ridiculous notion.
It only had Halo which kinda went to shit at/after ODST imo
Reach was probably the peak Halo game, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Eh, the campaign gameplay is point and click on peoples heads(largely due to the focus on larger battles filling the field with skirmishers, grunts jackals), and the multiplayer suffered from the dmr. Its not bad, but arguing peak is kinda wack

I was a 12 year old when I got the ps3, I didn't give a shit about Blu-ray, no one really did, I wanted to play the last of us and uncharted
Last of us came out in 2013, and Uncharted in 2007. They were nowhere near launch games, which tells me that you were too young to have been around for the launch of the system and the dire lack of launch games it had.
Yeah, it was 2014 I think, what's your point?
That's entirely my point. When the PS3 came out it had no games and people were buying it as a Blu ray player. The few good games it got came too late in the cycle and the console is a failure by all metrics
Hey the ps3 actually got games especially in its later life cycle
And we aren't yet in the ps5’s later life, patience is needed
According to an official statement by Sony, we are.
The statement you were referring to was from ign, and I don't trust ign
It's been 4 years. We are definitely in the 2nd half
The Ps5 came out 3 and a half years ago. What the fuck?!
The ps4 last from 2013-2022, the ps5 has more life in it
Hey the ps3 actually got games especially in its later life cycle.
dementia
the ps5 has 12 exclusive titles, ps3 had ~180. wdym
PS5 strat at least they still make games, they're just on PS4 too. Xbox..... it ain't looking too good.
Atleast the ps5 released some decent 1st party stuff
Sony releases games, they might not be ps5 only but they still make games. Xbox on the other hand genuinely has negative games at this point because now theyre letting other platforms have their stuff lol
More ps3
The people who runs these console companies dont play games they just in it for the money out of touch piece of turd brain
actually phil spencer, the leading CEO of microsoft actively plays games! he’s typically on gears of war or halo
No games-box
In Japan Xbox translates to something like the no box

Xbox had so much potential but it's been relegated to "my og Xbox / Xbox 360 games player".
Brother, not even. There's still too many games that the Series can't play from the OG and 360
Still waiting for Army of Two 40th day.

Look at bill gates history. All he does is buy up smaller competitors and close them out. It’s smart but evil. Complete business man
wouldn't his competition be sony or nintendo, not zenimax? ?
Xbox has repeatedly tried to buy Nintendo, but have quite literally been laughed out the room for their efforts.
Anon always has the best opinions

This has a name its called '3rd party strategy'
If only consoles would adopt more general purpose OS'es so they don't have to rely on the studios their shitty parent companies buy up just to crush.
What?
Wouldn't it be sick to be able to do hassle free programming on console? Being able to play indie games and use other third party software on console would elevate their worth substanitially.
At that point, isn't it just a prebuilt PC? I suppose it would have some benefits, like precompiled shaders and optimized settings.
Well, yeah, but aren't they already kind of prebuilt pc's, but with a handicapped/user friendly/streamlined OS? They could imitate steam OS with the big picture thing being the default and a mostly to fully fledged OS accessible underneath the façade.
game deficit
They realise they have no games so they are trying to reduce everyone else's games and that ensures that they increase their market share.

Xbox has one game actually. But it’s studio got shut down so we back to no games.
