I'm curious how long this studio will exist.

Yet SE will continue to release Nintendo exclusive games. There's already a remaster of Bravely Default to launch, so BD 3 isn't far off. And I'm betting there will definitely be an exclusive DQ and FF for the Switch 2.

SE will only come back to Sony if they have to pay for a AAA game, which SE simply doesn't have the money for.

Hopefully Sony SE will finally give the middle finger here.

No matter what SE does, in the end it's Sony's fault anyway.

Yes... no, that won't work. Concord may be dead, but the legacy lives on.

I know why I completely avoid all these subscription services.

Man, I'd love to see behind the scenes how SE is just crying because Rebirth was completely robed.😂

But Astro Bot definitely deserves it.

I don't know what I find more disgusting: Nintendo or their drones who defend every piece of crap and come up with the stupidest excuses to defend this madness. And all those who think Nintendo is untouchable and the Switch 2 will still be a guaranteed success... especially these days, nothing is too big to fail.

Sony is pretty much the only one who understands that China will be the leading market in the future. The Switch 2 isn't even officially sold in China, which explains why no Chinese game has been announced for the Switch 2.

If Sony achieves even a 1% market share in China, it will offset the loss in Japan.

@ATaco

Yes, I noticed that too. So many comments claimed that the Switch 2 would outsell the PS5, even though it wasn't even clear how much it would cost or what it could do. But everyone was still sure that Nintendo would save gaming and Sony would go multiplatform. Yeah, the reality is often different...

btw I'll probably buy a PS5 Pro. The Switch 2 is too expensive and the hardware doesn't justify the price at all.

@MotorCityBengals

Hey, to be fair, Apple at least has up-to-date hardware. Nintendo offers outdated hardware at a luxury price.

Sony has absolutely nothing to fear. GTA 6 will overshadow pretty much everything else, and that game isn't coming to the Switch 2. Especially since Sony has the far more powerful and cheaper console.

I think there will be some high fives handed out at PlayStation HQ again today. 😂

@Ralizah

Yes, theoretically, anything should be possible on the Switch 2. The question is what the games will ultimately look like. Rebirth already runs like dog ***** on the PS5.

I think many Nintendo fanboys will get a reality check that the Switch 2 isn't a portable PS5 after all, and the difference is still massive. 30 fps will be the absolute standard on this console.

@Greifchen

His story was far from over. Both endings hinted at the imminent battle against the Shogun.

Whether Yotei will even be as successful in the West as Tsushima is doubtful, if only because it will be more expensive and (like every other Sony IP) will sell worse than its predecessor.

Sony will be lucky if it sells 5 million copies, and a few hundred thousand more with the Steam release.

Uncharted with Cassie and the next big Sony IP is destroyed!

And honestly, with ND's current track record, I'd be surprised if Sam or a young Sully were allowed to take the lead.

"Whatever your thoughts on Ubisoft, the industry would be worse without it."

Is this a fu**** joke? We're talking about the publisher who said, and I quote: "Get Comfortable' With Not Owning Games"

The publisher that implements the most disgusting and revolting micropayments into a single player game.

the publisher who basically makes the same game over and over again.

But well, I think as long as you can OWN THE CHUDS, you'll ignore these things.

Seriously, the sooner Ubisoft goes bankrupt and this shakes an earthquake in the Western Gaming industry, the better.

then Pushsquare, ResetEra and all the other gaming media can cry again about why the Chuds don't buy this games.

That's more than what we got for Jak and Daxter's 20th anniversary.

Sure, God of War is Sony's flagship IP and Kratos is the face of PlayStation. But yeah, it's better than nothing.

"who gives a s**t?"

Sony

after all, it is Sony's money that Mr. Cuc... er, Mr. Druckmann is throwing out the window with both hands to push his agenda forward.

and Intergalatic will be a flop, you don't have to be a clairvoyant to know that. and I can hardly wait for Sony Japan to FINALLY put an end to this madness that has been going on at PlayStation for years.

because one thing is certain, Intergalatic will cost at least $300 million. and I doubt that the costs will even come close to being recouped. not to mention profit.

Sony knows full well that part 3 will not even come close to the sales figures of part 1 and will even sell worse than part 2. And that part 3 will also be much more expensive.

No matter what people say online, part 2 killed the franchise. Joel should never have been killed!

It is completely understandable why Sony does not give the green light.

No matter what Sony does, there are now enough people on the Internet who hate everything Sony does! And the fact that Sony is more successful than ever just makes these people angrier.

the SoP was OK. Not a mega highlight but also not a complete disaster like most people want to portray.

The PS5 shows how FAR (and by that I mean VERY FAR) the perception is between the internet and reality.

If you believe the internet, the Playstation brand is dead and Sony is on the verge of bankruptcy, but the reality is just the opposite.

You should really stop paying attention to all the idiots on the internet. 75 million in this day and age with the current economic situation is a huge success. And GTA VI is still to come....

God of War stands or falls with Kratos.

Atreus, Freya, Thrud.......no one except the modern audience wants a GoW with these characters.

and Kratos going back to Greece without Atreus with the gameplay of the new games is a guaranteed success

I won't say anything more about it.

Sony will notice if they continue to strengthen Valve and then destroy their biggest source of income because everyone gets a PC instead of a PS6.

Seriously, how stupid can a corporation be?

and no one can tell me that Totokoi didn't see that coming; there have been rumors for a long time that Valve is releasing a console.

The Japanese are finally taking back power!

the comments here are so incredibly embarrassing.....🤦‍♀️ well my ignore list is getting longer and longer

@rjejr

"Switch 2 will outsell PS5, almost a given."

LOL I really can't wait if all the casuals don't upgrade and the Switch 2 ends up staying under 50 million. Not unlikely given the current economic situation. and then we have to see what else Trump, who has already announced tariffs, plans to do.

Y'all forget that most Switch consoles were sold during the covid lockdown.

Hopefully the rumored God of War Greek Saga will be revealed

@sanderson72

All the PS5 needs is GTA VI. I don't understand where the belief comes from that the PS5 will be behind the PS4.

especially since the PS5 will be supported for a long time after the PS6 is released.

One console will have GTA VI (the most important game of all time) and the other will not.

I also find it very funny how some people here believe that the Switch 2 will sell better than the PS5. although a price isn't even known yet. and I expect a lot of casuals will just stick with the Switch 1.

LMAO the comments here are 4chan level. 😂🤣

Seriously, where does this delusion come from that millions of PS gamers are leaving the PlayStation ecosystem and switching to the Switch 2?

GTA VI alone will ensure that the PS5 stays, no matter what Nintendo and Steam Faboys say.

2025 begins the same way 2024 ended.

Asian developers are rising up while the West is literally burning.

@LifeGirl

"Sony will slap this woman's face on absolutely everything."

Pretty much that

If the Lego game and the remaster showed one thing, it's that this IP has no future at all, no matter how many times Sony (or rather Hermen) tries to force Horizon on people.

Also, let's not forget that Aloy is another Toxic Girl boss. and apart from the Resetera bubble, the majority of people have absolutely no interest in this crap anymore.

The sooner Totokoi finally cleans up, the better. And with the exception of God of War, all modern Sony IPs are money burners anyway.

will be just as successful as the HZD Remaster and the Lego game.😂

Will I really see the return of Jak and Daxter? I want to believe it, but I've waited so many times in the past and at some point I stopped giving myself false hope.

Furthermore, all of the key developers who worked on it back then have long since left ND.

On the other hand, Sony is also forced to focus on smaller titles again now that the AAA bubble has burst and the next million flops are already guaranteed.

Apart from a sales milestone report (probably 75 Mio), you really shouldn't expect any PS5 news at CES.

@RamboMike

"But I have a feeling they’ll still outsell the PS5 in the next 3-4 years."

LMAO without GTA 6 and a second Covid lockdown, that's virtually impossible.

It is precisely this massive arrogance to believe that Nintendo has already won why the Switch 2 is more likely to fail.

As with the Wii or the NDS, Nintendo won't be able to convince casuals to get the successor.

That has always been the case and will not change. The dream of you Nintendo fanboys that Nintendo pushes Sony out of the market will remain a dream.

Nintendo fanboys and their incredibly unrealistic expectations of the hardware... that was the case with the WiiU, continued with the Switch and will continue now.

That rude awakening will definitely be wonderful again. If it turns out that a handelheld doesn't have the same performance as a PS5.

I expect worse results than the Series S.

Yeah, Hermen then good luck. Fairgame will be the next flop. 😂🤣

I don't feel like commenting on this topic anymore. because I see again how comments are being diligently deleted here....

The elephant in the room is still being ignored and people are instead looking for other excuses as to why so many games flopped. I guarantee you it will continue next year.

and Naughty Dog has earned this reputation itself.

and to this day the PS version runs like dog *****. like pretty much all SE games.

Definitely my GOTY with Astro Bot and MUCH BETTER than Rebirth!

In contrast to Rebirth, SB was much better optimized for the PS5. It's a shame that a mobile developer shows a AAA studio how to properly optimize a game for the PS5.

of course not. But it's easier to blame Sony and the PS5 than to recognize that the Final Fantasy brand isn't nearly as popular as the internet would like to believe. I hope Sony has learned their lesson and won't pay SE a penny more.

I won't believe that until I finally see Sly 5 and Jak 4.

Sony has hit the highest highs and the lowest lows this year.

The industry will definitely change...... and I am optimistic that it will be for the better. So many games have flopped this year when many were sure that it would be a guaranteed success. but the opposite was the case.

I'm excited to see what awaits us next year.

@Herculean

that was because of Bungie and Lego. and the Horizon game wasn't even released for the Xbox...

If From doesn't insist 100% on being allowed to continue developing games for the Xbox (and they won't) then it's over Fromsoftware games for the Xbox.

@IOI

that is absolutely certain. Fromsoftware will become SIEs new prestige studio.
