GC writes, "PS3 was off to a rocky start. The incredibly high loss on each system was devastating, as was the billions in R&D costs. The launch line-up was lackluster and the $600 “get a second job” price was ludicrous. SONY endured through the billions in losses thanks to initial PS3 madness and has managed to take the brand back to profitability, but in the state their in now they need to of learned from their mistakes. The PS4 needs to be success. We have a few ideas regarding how".
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
I have a feeling Sony is going to have a nice rebound next generation.
the same 5 things sony did to win this one.
1. exclusive aaa games (uncharted, lbp, infamous, metal gear solid 4, heavy rain, god of war, journey, the last of us ect..
2. reliable hardware
3. free online
4. bluray (maybe 500 gigs( ps4)
5. crossplay.
the important #6 - a big marketing budget with a competent marketing dept...
Sony has never been focused on winning. They have been focused on delivering quality games and entertainment...
Sony needs to invest in ADVERTISING in the USA to outsell the new MS console.
Ps4 will have cross chat.....GAME OVER:)
Hell,they've beaten them worldwide.
Blu Ray is an amazing perk!!
As long as MS doesn't jump on the bandwagon like they always do.
If Sony can go head to head with MS on the USA advertisement front,they'll have no prob taking back the crown:)
