In part two, GamesBeat's Dean Takahashi writes about what Mark Cerny said about the failures of the PS 3.
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.
They made mistakes but they've learnt their lesson.
This is a detailed forcast of the next generation:

Hmm. ps3 was a failure? It has outsold xbox 360 and the 250 and 320 units are very good consoles. Not many problems. I think the only issue was the launch console at $599 and overheating problems. But other than that..
The ps3 went through a pretty bad launch followed by years of doom from the all sorts of gaming sites. In September of 2007 they released heavenly sword, followed by R&C , uncharted.... And they just kept on pumping out exclusives which provided me with countless hours of entertainment.
That presentation is one of the most humbling and insightful things I've seen in regards to this industry. To see him talk deeply about their approach to each generation and especially PS3, was strange but one that I think needed to be acknowledged. It does prove that, just like Nintendo, Sony has always been deeply focused on creating an amazing gaming console and great games to go with it.
Cerny really has been responsible for shaping the PlayStation and many of its first party games over the years. He's a lot more responsible for the PS legacy than we ever knew.
