It's like we're all hating on a baseball team that used to be great but got driven into the ground, and now their newest player is an ultra-obese wheelchair bound middle aged black woman with the self-esteem of a globalist and a horrible attitude towards everyone. She hates every facet of baseball and can't go five seconds without calling it "a white man's game", and bangs on about how there have never been any PoCs as baseball players, ignoring the colossal list of them that fans are always eager to post and prove her wrong. Ken Griffey Jr. himself even got into a heated argument with her one day only for her to block him.

The MLB insists that everything she says is true, and keeps doubling down on retaining her. There are plenty of articles and posts from paid-off fake fans insisting she is exactly what baseball needs, despite being the most toxic thing to happen to the sport in years.
I wish I could give you a Semper Fi for that, that is one of the best analogies for anything I've seen ever
 
That'd be incredible. Hopefully Microsoft would follow suit, but then I'd just be being greedy.
I’d say Microsoft is much more likely to get out than Sony at this point. Not because of any lack of success, but they’re much more eager, their cloud tech is further along, no one would miss their exclusives since they literally don’t make them anymore, and (some) people actually like Game Pass.
 
Those honestly feel like the only ones that pushed consoles outside of Spidermen. The rest were just purchased on PC or PS4.
I try to play fair (as people do buy multiplats on consoles) but I've also only listed games that didn't have a version on Switch, the popular console which has been eating away the share of third-parties Playstation used to monopolize more or less in the past. So in a nutshell, Playstation doesn't have much of an edge.

Are PS4 sales of multigen/multiplat games still higher or has that threshold finally been passed?

Honestly though, if they were pulling a profit on the PS5, it would be a very nice piece of hardware to run SteamOS on. My only complaint about the hardware is the PS5 just looking ugly, and apparently the controllers get stick drift.
As much as I don't like the PlayStation brand anymore, it still needs to exist, because a market without competition becomes monopolistic, and things would only get worse. Same reason why it's important for Epic to stay afloat. If it all really just came down to Nintendo vs. Valve... Hell, just look at how homogenous and hostile the cellphone industry is.

Basically the westaboos stayed on Playstation while virtually everyone in Japan enjoying the native cartoon games simply migrated on the Nintendo Switch.

As much as I don't like the PlayStation brand anymore, it still needs to exist, because a market without competition becomes monopolistic, and things would only get worse. Same reason why it's important for Epic to stay afloat. If it all really just came down to Nintendo vs. Valve... Hell, just look at how homogenous and hostile the cellphone industry is.
Same. It's better for Playstation to continue living for the sake of competition, I honestly couldn't care less how much of a success it could be in the Americas and Europe.
It's fun to watch though its collapse in Japan and a bunch of old japanese executive boomers (Yoshi-P, Harada-san, Matsuyama Hiroshi, Yosuke Matsuda, etc.) shitting their pants in interviews/twitter posts.

Does MJ stand for man jaw?

The inversion here is kind of funny but makes sense. The Switch Fate outselling PS4 and 5 combined is funny but expected. Man, adding up totals and I thought the old install base for the PS4 would still be doing better than the Switch for more action focused games like musous but it's not really close.

I have at least a bit of self respect left
It's okay: you'll always be an anime faggot in our kokoros.
 
To its audience, it IS a form of escapism for THEM that aligns with their consumer tendencies and political leanings. I remember when Sony would deliver hit after hit with their exclusives just by providing quality titles that ANYBODY could enjoy without being hemorrhaged by blunt political messaging. Now, Sony is just generic ESG company.
How is it a form of escapism for them when there are things they politically like and agree with in both this game and the real world?
