I'd just say "fuck 'em both" and swap the Xbox Scarlett out for a gaming PC. None of the upcoming Xbox exclusives really appeal to me right now (aside from Ori and maybe Halo Infinite) and they're already trying the repek wahman shit with Gears 5, so they don't exactly seem far off the SJW path either.
To be fair, I think the whole reason the Vita didn't sell well wasn't purely the specs but the whole memory card issue. It had a decent amount of games, and a lot of other benefits, but the memory cards stopped many a casual from making the purchase which in the long run destroyed sales expectations and made many game companies cancel their projects on the Vita. (IE: DMC/RE projects are just some off the top of my head) Sony always has this issue of doing everything right for the most part and then pulling the biggest and dumbest boner which destroys all the good publicity of those decisions.
Although I will admit they did a poor job marketing their top titles. When I showed a lot of casuals games I enjoyed on the Vita they generally would ask "Why was Sony hiding the gems of its library instead of pushing them to the front of marketing." It does make a good point, when PSVita would get interesting or good games, they often wouldn't promote the titles people actually might care about especially in the casual market, they either left them to where you'd have to dig to find them which most consumers (casuals included) won't do.
That applies to things like Always-Online DRM or no Crossplay, but anime tiddies or some character's censored ass won't really become a shared concern.
Weird thing is that even Neil Druckmann, the “woke captain” of Sony’s first party games really only started cranking up his tisms with TLOU2, even the “woke moments” that sometimes occurred in UC4 were usually minor enough to not be noticed. Also, I find it to be a bit of an interesting paradox how Soyny thinks that enforcing western sensitivities onto eastern publishers will make things more PC. That’s kinda like saying “niggers are more civilized when they act more white”
And like I said earlier, DMC5 was a more mainstream example of Sony’s meddling that set it apart from previous examples. Contrary to what the internet might try to have you believe, most normies probably don’t know what Nekopara or Senran Kagura are, meanwhile DMC is probably the most mainstream Japanese character action game franchise on the market, really only rivaled by Bayonetta, so when a normie hears that their buddy’s copy has less censorship than theirs, they’re gonna be bothered. And I doubt it’ll end with DMC, I can easily see likes of Catherine Full Body and Judgement being handed similar restrictions over here at this rate.
Guessing it’d be more likely to hit a western indie than a western AAA,
I can't wait for the uncomfortable sexual tension of under aged lesbians in TLoU2 taking a horrible turn.
DMCV wasn't a Sony exclusive, though, but I see what you're saying. They're getting pretty arrogant.
Guessing CDPR will be safe and Kojima will be hit, there’s a clear western bias with them. Just look at one of @SiccDicc’s favorite 2018 PS4 games, RDR2, that had tits, animal dongs, etc and Sony probably didn’t care because Rockstar is one of their biggest multiplat money makers next to Treyhammer Ward.
