Sony hate thread

Not likely. The woke want 3 things: Power, the spread of their, in their eyes perfect, ideology and minimal effort. Destroying the company on purpose would put a wedge in all of those things. They just cannot make peace with the fact that they and their beliefs suck and no one really want them (not even themselves want it which is why they are never comfortable in their own skin) and that causes companies to fail.
I said the japs are the ones allowing the californians (the woke) to destroy the Playstation division in particular, not Sony as a whole

The company that used to be a media empire before fading into obscurity? Very apt comparison.

Everywhere except Japan. There's one at every major train station...

吉田さんは日本人、ね

I really recommend checking out the one in Shibuya if you're ever in the area, it's a music lover's paradise.
 
And those japs that allow the woke to do what they want are also woke. There are woke japs. If PS goes down, no one at Sony gets what they want.
Whether the japs are woke or not is beside the point dude. The japs know everyone hates the woke shit. They don't care because their players still buy the slop regardless. PS is a small part of the overall Sony brand and has been on the decline for at least 5 years with no hope of rebound. The woke shit is a contributing factor but isn't solely responsible for their decline, it's primarily the fact that they have no games at all on their overpriced knockoff PC that has a paywall for every little feature and that any slop people are interested in inevitably comes to PC anyway.

They will happily let Herman Hulst dig his own grave so they can point the finger at him for every failure when it comes time to shut down SIE due to lack of profit. They can tolerate the financial losses until that happens because, again, the overall Sony brand is an empire. It's already too late to save the Playstation's image, everyone knows it's shit, and aside from the brand loyalists and small influx they'll get when GTA 6 releases, it will continue to decline because the cattle have already flocked to PC and Nintendo instead. The only question is when are the japs going to pull the plug? After GTA 6 comes to PC? I would be surprised if they allowed a PS6 to get made at all.

The point is, they know there's no turning it around and they are probably at nomikai parties taking the piss out of those stupid Americans as they count the days until it becomes "acceptable" for them to terminate the PS brand. It's a hemorrhoid on their ass and they're waiting for the right time to cut it off.
 
Sony gifted Shuhei Yoshida (the former president of PlayStation Studios) a custom PS5 controller that says "NO GAME." At this point, the jokes write themselves.View attachment 6871671

It's referencing a popular anime called No Game No Life. Still pretty funny, though.
one major thing you forgot: emulation, unless that's included under "open playing field". the ability to play pretty much any game from any era means you could go your whole lifetime without touching modern AAA goyslop.
Also modding and a massive library that spans decades. I can play Ultima 4, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom(of course), Zoo Tycoon 2, Putt Putt Saves the Zoo, the entire Devil May Cry series, and Rimworld on the same machine. I can install mods for those games, too.

In fiscal year 2023, the games aspect was their most profitable arm of Sony. If PS went down, their stock would crumble like a cookie, layoffs on ALL of Sony would be rampant and many of the "conspirators" would lose everything. If Hulst goes down after a long string of money loss, Sony would have cut their dominant hand to spite their torso.

Sony might be letting Playstation run into financial trouble so that they can shut the American operations down and bring the HQ back to Japan.
And their stock will go down like a skydiving anvil. They will never recover. Sony has a current year entertainment mindset that means they will spent every penny on the next project and leave nothing in the bank for a rainy day. Nintendo could recover from the Gamecube and the Wii U failures because they keep money in the bank in case things go wrong. Sony does not do that.
 
I'm not sure where to put this, so I'll try here.
Retarded take, all you do is delay the inevitable and lose money/popularity in a vain and pathetic attempt at owning the gooners that could still gonna rip off the assets and make porn with them regardless, if the game is succesfull enough to gain their attention to begin with...
 
I give it three months before it's announced for PC. Why? Because Sony are still celebrating HellDivers 2 been the fastest selling Sony exclusive with 12 million sales in 3 months, beating Fag of War.

The funny bit, and why this is relevant, is because 60% of the sales are on steam. PS5 sold 6 million copies, at best, of HD2. The game is propped up by PC.

PC and Nintendo now rule the industry.
 
My rumour and prediction is that PS6 is launching in 2026. Why? Because AMD have announced 3D caching in their next batch of GPU's launching in 2026. Sony gets a slice of the new tech before the cards launched (see: PS4, PS4PRO, PS5, PS5PRO).
3D stacked cache is too expensive and hot for the console manufacturers to want. Consoles are compact boxes designed to sit under a TV with suboptimal airflow while consuming less than 300 watts of power so there's very little odds of a normie accidentally overloading a circuit by adding one.

Not to mention that cooling the weird-ass APUs in the current gen consoles is already a challenge. The PS5's cooling system is already on the edge of how complex you can probably get away with for a normie device.

I'd love to hear one day just how this backdoor was discovered and why Nintendo doesn't even bother securing it.
Similar to the Xbox 360 being able to download full dev builds completely unauthenticated - finished game binaries on servers weren't considered valuable because the only hardware they could run on was locked down. Adding the overhead of authentication to giant downloads probably wasn't considered worthwhile. By the time Nintendo modernized their digital storefront, the eShop was already dead and it wasn't worth pissing off the Nintendo diehards just to stop pirates when most of the games were well past their prime.

That being said, there was a period where Nintendo was marking 3DS consoles that were running custom firmware and downloading games illegally and then later banning them because the 3DS was still an actively marketed console. The WiiU was dead before the Switch even came out tbh so I don't think they cared.

I should also stress that 3DS piracy was never a massive concern like it was on the DS. DS piracy was - "buy this $20 flashcart, insert a microsd full of .nds files, and now you can play games for free." 3DS is, "okay first find your serial number and FW version then consult this flow-chart (the normie has already given up here)..." It's nominally 'cheaper' but far more inaccessible to tech illiterate normoids.

Sony might be letting Playstation run into financial trouble so that they can shut the American operations down and bring the HQ back to Japan.
This is the biggest hopium imaginable.

Sony Japan only cares about money. It's willing to eat short-term losses because it's been in the game for a long time and the c-suite knows losses are an inevitable part of any long-running company's history. There's not some conspiracy to make the Americans lose face so the Japanese can take it back. The Japanese can take it back whenever they want to - they haven't because the guys in Tokyo fucked it up first and did so so badly that Sony downsized them into irrelevance. They did so during the seventh gen when SCE and its Japanese partners failed to deliver any successful games during the HD transition while SCEA were making money hand-over-fist. We're tired of burgerslop now but the decision to move the HQ to California wasn't an irrational one or some elaborate burger trick on the japs.

I'm tired of hearing about the poor put-upon Playstation Japs who had their rightful throne stolen by cunning burgers and how things would have surely been better if only Sony had stuck with the subsidiary that made the PS3 a laughingstock. It's a fantasy.
 
It's not just innovation, it's because the PS2 hardware is inheriently retarded to work with since as part of it they decided to run all the external I/O and audio processing off a partial PS1-on-a-chip which meant they got stuck with fuck all for controller ports again since anything else would mean having to engineer the world's smallest multitap on die thanks to just reusing the PS1 bus setup with "MagicGate" taped on.
But doing it like that made it backwards compatible with near 0% issues, no?

Yes, although I will point out that the PS2's CPU uses the same instruction set as the PS1's and they could have likely reduced the price and improved the I/O considerably by writing a software translation layer for PS1 games on PS2 rather than forcing a PS1-on-a-chip to moonlight as an I/O controller. In fact, Sony did eventually do this... on the PSP. The PSP uses the same MIPS architecture as the PS1 and PS2, and Sony wrote an extremely compatible and performant translation layer for PS1 games called POPS for it.

I can only imagine they opted for the PS1-on-a-chip solution because they were already cranking them out for the slim PSone when the PS2 launched.
