Sony hate thread

I wonder why they continue to buy the Switch 1. Aren't they both sold at a similar price compared to the rest of the world?

I think the OLED screen is meant to be pretty good. Maybe Switch 1 has more games? Or if a family have one, they can share games? I'm just guessing, I have no experience with either switch.

The cope is that Japan was always a handheld market, not a console one.

They sure are. I can't wait to see how good it will look on PS5PRO with PSSR...oh wait, they've gone quiet about that as well.

DS2 is meant to be coming to Pc, S2 and Xbox, maybe so Sony can say "10 trillion steps taken in the biggest rug-pull walking simulator game ever made".

Playstation All-Stars wasn't the greatest but the gameplay and mechanics could have been tuned and refined with a sequel or with continued updates and reworks but they never gave the developers a chance to try. One and done, it is as if Nintendo had given up on Smash Bros after the first try.

The problem wasnt even the gameplay really, people would put up with mediocre gameplay if it had characters they actually liked but they made insane decisions like Donte instead of Dante or Bayonetta, Lightning instead of Cloud etc
They had no fucking idea what a good character was and it should have been a giant warning sign for the coming personality vacuums of characters
If they made a new one they'd probably have planned to put the concord, Fairgames and marathon "characters" in it

Death stranding is down 60% in sales compared to DS1.

If that's true. It really is dead since DS1 at release sold like eggfarts and Kojima had to do mental gymnastics on why it bombed. They'll shit it onto everything else, offer it as a free download eventually and claim it "sold a lot."

Specifically, that's in japan though, where ps5 software sales are massively down compared to ps4 (hardware sales on paper are keeping relative pace with ps4 in the region, but that's only because Chinese were buying and importing them en masse to take advantage of the yen's inflation, and also because an imported japanese ps5 was less locked down than their domestically sold ones), but other reports are saying it's down overall, just not by as extreme of an amount.

part of it is the lack of marketing, I didn't even knew it was coming out and I'm probably still more tuned into vidya than the average normalfag...

I found out the game was coming out via X and nothing else, probably they were counting entirely on viral marketing and memes spreading on social media considering how weird it is and having a Vtuber collab on it. Either way DS2 is "Kojima Is Eccentric: The Video Game²" That's a tough sell even for avid gamers, let alone normalfags.

Switch 1 OLED's screen is very good indeed. And the Switch 1 can run far more Switch 1 games (i.e. all of them) than the Switch 2 can (i.e. less than all of them), and there are very few Switch 2 games available and/or worth buying. It's a better value proposition right now.

Switch 1 used to sell 35k+ even on an off week in japan, even after the switch 2 was revealed, it's not unreasonable that momentum wouldn't immediately cease.

I really believe a AAA gaming crash is on our hands. We're witnessing it in real time.

I’ll believe it when i see it. Microsoft laying off a bunch of people feels like a major correction and not a crash. Now if GTAVI fails to live up to massive expectations and BO7 fails to break even, i would lean in that we have a major AAA game crash.

Switch Lite is cheaper and more comfortable/portable, so I'm not too surprised. I bet that model's sales will last longest.

Just checked the breakdown of the different models since famitsu shows that. The switch lite has by far the lowest sales out of the 3 models overall, and was decently behind the OLED model in weekly sales. Definitely not much of a fan of the screen on the lite either, so I can't call it an amazing deal, I really think the price should be half of the base model, not 2/3. Overall, I'd really only recommend it in cases where you have multiple kids who are using it mostly as a portable and don't want to share a single system, or for younger children who you're worried about losing joycons or damaging the rails.

I'm surprised, supposedly japs are all about portability. The regular Switch is an unwieldy behemoth, not as big or heavy as Steam Deck but still chunky, and with far inferior ergonomics. Switch Lite is uncomfortable as hell too but at least it's relatively light and small. At this point it should certainly receive a price cut though.
