yeah maybe but it's not great. Nintendo portables are 154, 118, 107, 81m. and then there is the BEST sony portable of ALL TIME at 80-82 which puts it on par with the GBA. if Sony wanted to "obliterate" the portable market they would need to do much much better.
Then you buy everything twice, at that point it makes sense to just abandon the PlayStation ecosystem for good (not a bad idea honestly now that titles like The Last Us Part I gets announced along with the PC port).
Obviously Sony ain't going to obliterates anything but giving up is one of the biggest mistakes they ever done, they are pretty much irrelevant in Japan and now their entire library will become available on something like the Steam Deck to play on the go.
Times have changed so much since Switch's release, it's super easy to put a port into a portable machine that can also connect to a tv, so many knock offs do it with more power at a smaller price.
They need to make something that can run ps5 games to be successful in my opinion. Not sure if that is possible. I guess you could make one for PS4 games.
It's already been leaked with a Nov. release date. Don't know what else could be leaked that would make you happy.
Sony is good at making games and makes great hardware. What else do they need to be great at? Coffee makers?
Let see: implementing proper refund policy, better options for emulating legacy platforms (what we have now is a joke), figuring out a way for people to play PlayStation games on the go, better communication (including stop purposefully lying about things), being upfront about release window of games on PC, figuring out crossbuy with PC.
It's weird how MS and Sony have opposite problems. MS talks too damn much, while Sony barely speaks. Underwhelms with 1st party games, while Sony's are mostly stable when they come out. Non-stop delays, while Sony has a major first party release multiple times of the year. MS has Gamepass, which is great if you do the $1 conversions, but considerably less good at $14.99 a month.
AT some point I expect those conversion deals to go away. MS needs people paying $14.99 for this to be sustainable.
At that point Gamepass drastically loses value.
I see it the same way, Sony gets right what matter most to be, as a publisher they have been delivering top tier games for over a decade now, non stop. They have some of the most talented studios in the world and are not afraid to invest in their games. But I also don't see it as an excuse to not hold them accountable for all the way they come up short.
Look at how much money they already made of the people that were paying full price for Gamepass waiting for AAA games day one over all these years and they barely delivered on anything.
There are even easier ways than this. CD keys and Eneba often sell 3 month Live cards for under $10 buy 12 of those for at most $120 and do the conversion. I’ve seen them as low as $7
Does this work if I already have GPU? My sub ends in Sept.
No it hasn't
Schreier and The Snitch have strongly hinted at it. Ill go with that.
"Strongly hinted" yeah so if they're wrong they can backtrack. Just admit it, there's been no actual indication whatsoever about what's going on with Ragnarok
MS needs more Rodd Ferguson's and less Ken Levine's managing their studios. You need those people who aren't perfectionists who understand that you have to deliver a product.
Ok. Sure. Are you happy now?
Sony killed the PS Vita with their lack of vision for the platform, the stupid decisions (like the expensive proprietary memory cards / lack of triggers) and by just giving up way to quickly once it wasn't this huge success they expected.
Absolutely true facts here, and I would go a step further and say that it's time for Matt Booty to go. All those talented studios and so little to show for it? Its shameful. MS needs to clean house.
Colin said (but is pretty obvious when you think about it). That Sony researches and develops a lot of stuff. Maybe an idea of a vita successor was research and developed at some point.
They would only need to do that if they hadn't learned anything from the Vita and the Nintendo Switch, the obvious solution is to make a portable that can run PS4 games.
