"Granted there’s a lot of business know-how that factor into these decisions (including answering to shareholders); but Sony really needs to make some changes to their marketing and pricing strategies in order to remain competitive." - JTM Games
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5, fans are already beginning to talk about what Sony's next console, the PlayStation 6, will look like and what features it will have.
“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“
We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.
Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.
So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.
Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.
I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?
Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus
They just need to port some more interesting titles and ones that are not coming out to the consoles.
More marketing games are good, however don't need to waste alot of money into it. Now a day most people can find out what games are there and what games are coming out thru internet. Don't expect Sony gamers under age of 13.
Vita's prob is not the price, its the lack of Stereoscopic 3D, comfort and great games ...

Too bad power is not getting it anywhere, LMAO.
They really should have just thrown a phone into it, & marketed it as a handheld system, with the added benefit of a mobile phone, rather than the other way round, like all the phones do.
I would prefer a machine built as a handheld 1st, then having a phone included. I mean, I am one of the few who purchased the Playstation phone over an I-phone or any of the other smartphones available.....and the fact is, it is an awesome little phone, that has NO SUPPORT....I mean, the PS pad that makes it so unique & awesome, really has gotten rotten support, & especially by Sony.
I hope my Vita doesn't suffer the same fate, as it does truly have some unreal games available, but I would hate for it to die without it's potential being fulfilled.
Nobody will ever make a handheld like the Vita again, if it dies a quick, horrible death, as it just won't be a risk anyone will be willing to take to put so much great & new tech in a handheld unit....
I mean, as it was I was stresses that Nintendo had set a new low & benchmark with Wii, that meant that Sony & MS would not really give us new machines with any truly great features & especially power.....but, oh, how wrong I was, as PS4 is a powerhouse that I can hardly wait for. Lucky I have so many great PS3, Wii-U, 360 & Vita games to tired me over.
As for lowering Vita's price, well I don't think that is totally necessary yet, as I would find the inclusion of at least a 32gig memory card & 6-12 months of PSN+ far more beneficial. Marketing on the other hand is terrible, as usual for Sony...I mean, after PS2, they just lost the plot, & there rare advertisements have not gone for the throat of consumers enough. Instead of fancy crap, they just need to smartly advertise there games & machines in a way that clearly shows what there games are about, with heavy gameplay emphasis....there machines need to be plugged the same way, & show there many facets of use.
It may not get it anywhere to you RogueStatus, but you don't own one (unfortunately for you), & I can say, as a Vita owner, the machine is unrivalled in build quality, feel & comfort in hand, visual fidelity, & although not having the biggest range of games, for a 1yr old system it really does have an awesome selection of titles...You may just be judging the system off what is on store shelves, but fact is, Sony have made great inroads with d/l titles available for Vita, PSP & PS3.....and as a PSN+ member, I get a very large selection of them for the piddly yearly subscription cost on ALL 3 systems.
There are PS1 classics littered on PSN that are playable on all 3 machines upon purchase, there are mini's, then there are specialized ports of awesome titles like MGS3. X play as well is a pretty damn bold move by Sony for the consumer & as a PS3/Vita owner, I feel Sony are giving me a helluva lot more than they need to for the money.
So, while you may be down on this great little system, maybe you should stop embarrassing yourself & take your foot from your mouth.
You can also bet, that if Sony had as much success in the handheld market against Nintendo, as they did in the home console market, MS would have followed Sony's lead into the handheld market.
