Sony hate thread

[Achtung Bitter]

we sold every single ps2 ever manufactured. There were zero ps2s damaged, lost, or stolen during shipment from our factories to our distributors. There were zero ps2s damaged, lost, or stolen during shipment from our distributors to retailers. Every single demo unit that was ever shipped out to be used as a demo kiosk in some middle of nowhere walmart? Eventually repackaged and sold. Not a single ps2 unit on earth remained in storage or unsold during that single year. Not one fell off a pallet jack behind some shelf somewhere. Ever. In the entire history of the console's existence. This sounds like a perfectly reasonable and not logistically and statistically impossible claim to us, so we hope you'll believe it too

That’s something I’ve been wondering btw, how did Pony Computer Entertainment manage to ship every single pos2 manufactured.

The part that's truly baffling about the design of the main character in Intergalactic is how Naughty Dog instead of creating a normal looking woman they made her purposefully repulsive both in looks and personality, It was a deliberate choice because they have nothing but contempt for the player audience.

Have you seen the actress? She makes herself ugly, and would definitely throw a fit if they made the character somewhat normal.

It’s because Marxist want to tear down beauty standards.

I mean, the real answer? They didn't.

Furthermore, one thing I completely forgot from that post. According to sony at least, they never replaced a single ps2 that had suffered some sort of hardware issue and was still under warranty. Despite the fact that the ps2 had a ridiculously high failure rate, and while most of that was the laser, which could be repaired and replaced rather easily, the slim model especially was prone to several other common hardware failures. Again, according to sony, not a single one of these was ever replaced for free while under warranty. Every single unit ever manufactured was also sold.

It had a high failure rate? I knew about the laser, but I didn't know about overall failure rate. I still have my fat box working from the early 2000's.

"Hey, remember when the ps2 was selling less than 2 million a year and then it randomly jumped up to 5 million that one year the ds was getting close and despite that massive jump, never sold more than 100k again? Actually, we miscounted this whole time. It was 10 million all along. This has nothing to do with the switch passing 150 million. We just waited to correct this 'mistake' until now by sheer coincidence."

There are people who not only believe this, but stake a huge portion of their identity on this. Let that  really sink in for a moment.

It's funny how Nintendo fans are called cult members (granted, yes, some are like this) but can never hold a candle to Sony fans' level of dick sucking.

I half expect that they'll even begin counting those launch model PS3s that had the full hardware needed to play PS2 games natively (and some of the later ones that just had the EE and GS combo chip and no rambus) as PS2 Sales once the Switch passes 160M units, which would mean that every single person who bought a PS3 in 2006-2008 were also buying a PS2, which would actually fuck with the PS3 numbers because then they technically didn't mean they bought the thing, and NONE of those ever died to YLODs or some other common failure point of those models or were lost.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Sony lying about consoles sold and lumping in different console generations to suit? Sounds like them.

They're classing PS4 PSN n umbers as PS5 revenue and declaring PS5 units sold to shops as sold to customers to try and keep track of the PS4 'launch aligned' narrative. As most of us predicted, the PS5 is millions behind the PS4.

Fear not though! GTA6 will move 20 million consoles
Edit!! I've just seen that GTA6 is delayed

Delayed right to the window where niggergalactic is launching. Fuck you Sony.

 

[FlyHoneyPudding]

There's something incredibly funny about Sony desperately needing GTA6 to release so they can move their shitty consoles only for Rockstar deciding to delay the game in order to unfuck whatever the pajeet coders fucked up. This leads to Nintendo having all of 2025 and 2026 for the Switch 2 to sell like crack.

If we're not counting the laser, the fat was pretty durable, but the slim could be a bit fragile and finnicky. If you include the laser though, while it was much easier to fix, that's a failure rate on par with the red ring of death.

Even if you can't somehow fix the laser, you can just bypass it by installing your games onto an hdd or an ssd and plug it in the expansion bay. Love this box.

November 19, 2026.

If Rockstar pushes the release date further it is going to be a stone toss away from being a cross gen release on PS6.

What are the chances that this game is not going to run like a 30fps slide show with frame drops on PS5?

What if they're just hoping to make it a PS6 exclusive? I can just picture it, maybe April of 2026, they announce "well gosh, we're super-sorry guys, we have to delay it one more time, but on the plus side it's going to be optimized for the Powah of the Mighty PS6, and we're gonna be a launch title! Yay us! BUY MORE SHARK CARDS YOU FUCKING DRONES."

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

in that case i would just pirate the slop the moment it comes out for pc

 

[Duane Dibbley]

They would use their magic pssr and make it 120fps with fake frames up the ying yang.

Apparently the specs have leaked for the game and the minimum, 1080p@30fps are low. Lower than the Series S. Makes me wonder if R* are trying to get it run on S2 and launch it across PS4, Ps5 and PS6.

There was another rumour that the delay is because it will be a launch title for the next xbox and Microsoft have parked a truckload of cash outside T2 HQ.

Ps4 I find unlikely. Switch 2 though? Look, those specs are to be expected, considering it has to run on series s. Anything that runs on series s can also run on switch 2, assuming a competent port. Given nintendo is probably gonna sell another 7-9 million of the fuckers during the holiday quarter alone, it's not remotely out of the realms of possibility that switch 2 is ahead of the xbox series by the time November 2026 hits. Definitely ahead in terms of active, buying users once you factor in how many people own an xbox series only for gamepass or have largely abandoned it and left it to collect dust. Given the reported budget potentially as high as $2 BILLION, and the fact it's going to launch without its own version of gtao from everything we've heard, they need every single sale possible.

It would be beyond hilarious to hear that they delayed GTA6 so they could launch it simultaneously for Switch 2

I would have no sympathy after what happened with Rayman Legends.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Ps4 I find unlikely. Switch 2 though?

I agree, I'm just reporting the rumours. I think the very first trailer, the one that got shat on for looking terrible, was a PS4 and R* leaked it to see if they could get away with releasing that version then doing a current gen version down the line to double dip.
IIRC it's been three years since that first leak, more than enough time to force an upgrade to avoid backlash.

Imagine if the S2 version outsold the PS5 version and took the "20 million ps5 console sales" down to 5 million. The Sony seethe would heard around the world.

Let's not be hasty. Not only would the ps5 userbase be significantly larger than the switch 2 userbase, no matter how fast the switch 2 sells and how much momentum it carries into 2026, the playstation userbase is FAR more aligned with a title like gta than the nintendo userbase is.

Personally, as hilarious as I find the idea of a switch 2 day and date launch, I think it's far more probable that there's absolute chaos behind the scenes trying to unfuck all the jeet code they outsourced.
