@ATaco CEOs have their biggest bonuses when they fire the most employees. Because numbers going up are more important than human lives for shareholders.

I see Xbox is still competing with Playstation for the title of the worst video game company of the decade.

I think Karfton, Ubisoft and EA are still in the race.

@Oram77 Smart tube fixes the youtube ad problem on android tv and UBO on browser. On android, disable the youtube app and use firefox with better youtube, UBO and sponsorblock.

The ultimate insulting step: delivering ads physically to your mail box.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the PS6 was running on windows 11 after all the worst ideas they stole from Microslop.

@get2sammyb It's just sarcasm about anti-consumerism. But I'm sure Sony could do it.

Sony should create artificial shortages for digital games. Create rarity to crank up the price, as if they were scalping their own shop. I'm sure some people would still try to defend Sony.

@Balaam_ Joker should also do the magic trick making a pen disappear with executives who push stupid decisions that lead to mass layoffs.

I can imagine a great april fools patch note: "Updated graphics to be on par with Pokémon"

All those games released the same month. Most of them will get huge discounts in record times. They just can't all succeed.

I'd rather play the games that includes those characters. I'll never understand why anyone would pay for cosmetics. But sadly those people exist and encourage live service slop.

An investment fund, AKA barely human money hungry devil, buying pure evil EA for the sole purpose of making the quickest ROI possible by laying off everyone they can. Who could have predicted that?

"Together, we'll invest boldly, accelerate innovation, and build the next generation of games"

They are going full throttle on AI, aren't they? So many will lose their jobs with this acquisition.

They need to make a bolder choice. Chris Pratt as Kratos, with Tom Holland as Atreus, Anya Taylor joy as Freya and Pedro Pascal as Mimir. This way everyone is miscast with actors people are tired to see everywhere.

"PS: We will never apologise for our mistake, because we always blame the customers for everything and forgot how politeness works. Give us more money or we will fire more people."

We'll have to wait for the game to come out to arsertain whose bum's on screen.

Do they expect anyone to buy a Series S for 500€? That was the price of the Series X 6 years ago. If anything, the Series X should cost 300€

I'm trying to get used to the digital only future, so I'll wait for it to be released in torrent... I mean Blu-ray! Wait... Blu-ray isn't digital. I guess I'll sail the high seas for this one. Yarr!

I trust that statement about as much as every other bullsh*t report. Starting with how many PS2 they sold. They are so full of sh*t they probably didn't even oversell the DS. It's all propaganda at this point.

@Dalamar It could have been summarised in a tweet, and I mean 140 character old school tweet. But then Push square would make an article about their own tweet, so they skipped the middle man.

I cautiously considered it the day they announced killing physical games, and I'll cautiously avoid the PS6 moving forward.

EA, Unity, Microsoft and many other fundamentally evil companies are better at listening to clients than Sony. That's quite the achievement... Or should I say trophy?

I'll get the physical version regardless. I just won't be on PS5.

Play it super safe and never change like Ubisoft, or go crazy and inovate so the game is as memorable and fun as possible...

They left Ubisoft to create their own studio for a reason, so go nuts!

I'll be honest, so many Chinese games have similar titles, I can't tell them apart, except for black myth wukong because it's about the monkey king.

Skewed statistics as usual. I'd like to know what percentage of physical is left once you removed games unavailable physically on the platform and games sold under 10€/$/£.
Having the average sale price repartition for both physical and digital would also be interesting. I bet a majority of digital sales are below 20€, and physical above 40€

I'm sure Nintendo would have found a way to make that studio flourish. Better management, less pressure, more support, etc. Also I'd love to have Kat and Raven in the next Smash bros.

Sony should lock PSN account to a single IP address. This way you'd lose your entire library when moving and they'd sell you everything all over again!

I'd make a great Sony executive.

A game releasing over the span of 3 console lifecycles. I'm pretty sure most people would lose interest before the last part comes out.

I'll be on holiday, so I'll be joining the movement whether I want it or not. Not that it will change Sony's mind anymore than the petitions they'll also ignore.

PS5 was a bad generation anyway. That and Sony taking a sh*t on it's clients made sure I won't return for the PS6. I don't care what happens to playstation beyond that, so I won't be bothered about them changing their mind.

What about an Atreus spin-off for players who loved the most boring part of Ragnarok? Oh, right. Those people don't exist.

They should learn from Gearbox and say that poor people who can't afford an ultra high end PC don't deserve to play their game.

@Czar_Khastik
A 1000$ PS6 app. Because Sony likes to make digital more expensive than physical.

Guillemot being in favour of an all digital future is proof it's a horrible idea.

Another argument in favour of physical games: you could use this one as a coaster.

It wouldn't be Disney if you didn't have to do your homework before enjoying the main course.

Playstation has become an American company, with SIE's HQ being in California, because that it definitely not the Japanese way to treat clients.

PlayStadia® would be a fitting name.

Nothing surprises me after Microsoft bought Activision for 17 times what Disney paid for Lucas film. Microsoft and Sony are not good at estimating what they should pay.

Nobody is buying the PS5!
Physical consoles are dying!
PS6 consoles won't be sold physically, but only downloadable on the ps store. That would explain how the PS6 could be portable: it will be an app on your phone.

We're back to anti physical propaganda.

A good quality of life update would be to remove macro-transactions entirely.

Even if it's set in stone, I'm sure they'll find a type of stone that can be reshaped infinitely.

I'm sure Sony is perfectly trustworthy and will never try to increase prices once it has digital monopoly over its platform. That's why some people with superior intelligence defend Sony's choice.
{End sarcasm}

Most people believe Pokémon games are developed by Nintendo. So I'm not surprised they have no idea who's developing what.

Just buy those games on other platforms when possible. Or at least, focus your hatred at Sony specifically and avoid collateral damage.

Starfield 76 is the natural successor. I'm sure Bethesda fans would love to get a live service starfield before fallout 5 and elder scrolls 6.

Looking forward to testing PS5 emulators when the console is dead (to me) in 18 months.

Sony really has a problem with physical goods. Death to this company

Sony will tell you that 85% of those physical copies were digital downloads.

How come you're not reporting unusable statistics that include F2P games, DLC, and digital only games to make people believe nobody wanted physical games like you used to do?

Sony misunderstood the backlash and cancelled the wrong announcement.
