Product Information

We're approaching a half-year after the PS5 release, and...where's VRR? Where's internal storage support? When are they delivering on the features that were printed on the box? Sony, you promised - in writing - and you haven't delivered yet. When? Last generation, Microsoft built a console with the goal of appeasing developers who thought they were losing money to the secondary market (used games) to help them milk us for every penny, and it didn't go well for them.

Before you bring up Death stranding, that isn't a first party game, it's second party. Where it goes depends on Kojima more than Sony. The other is days gone. They have something in common, which is they were expected to sell more. Sony was always going to lose some ground with the PS5. Last generation wasn't normal, and Sony benefitted dramatically from Nintendo and Microsoft tripping over their own feet for years. Sony's competition is healthy again and, yes, that's going to lead to a situation where Sony doesn't swallow the industry whole. And that's a good thing, honestly. I think ultimately what we're seeing here is the company's inability to effectively control narratives that are emerging among the most hardcore of fans online. It happened last year prior to the launch of the PS5, and it's happening again.There's a rot attached to current management, rightly or wrongly, and the company's reluctance to comment or clarify anything is allowing that to fester. I feel like I am in this interesting (and frustrating) position where I don't like where the entire industry is going. None of the big 3 are doing anything I am particularly happy with. Xbox seem intent on putting all of their effort into Game Pass and streaming which I don't like as I have never liked subscription services and from an ownership perspective, cloud is scary to me. Anyway I just enjoy playing good games, and I look forward to when xbox starts delivering on all its promises. But it still has a lot to prove.

Basically Sony are still on top anyway, and will remain that way unless they keep piling up boneheaded decisions and alienating the fans, but if you're a true gamer you realise the platform is just a means to an end and it's the games themselves that count. Pretty obvious thing to say, but very easy for people to lose sight of when they succumb to nascent fanboy rage monkeying, I suppose. I’m very excited for The Ascent and was gutted it had been delayed, it looks like a proper next gen indie shoot em up. And will be day and date Game Pass, the service has opened games to people who wouldn’t necessarily buy the games. Yes they've made up some ground on Sony, those Microsoft lads and lasses, but Sony are still very much outselling and outgunning them despite not having a direct competitor to Game Pass. If they were really bothered I'm sure they could just retool PS Now to more closely resemble GPU anyway; wouldn't be too difficult. Who knows, maybe that's part of the reason they unwisely closed the PS3/PSP/Vita stores.

But so far they haven't. Exclusive content ranges from threadbare to nonexistent. Now if they put all that money tossing they did last year to good use, you could make a strong case for them... someday.
