The PS4 has outsold the Xbox One, but Sony must remain on the offensive to stay on top. Here's a look at how it might do that.
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.
with XBone exclusives going muti-platform I don't see the PS4 getting bothered.
Microsoft is never outpacing Sony when it comes to sales.
PS3 launched a year after the X360. The 360 gained 8 million sales in the space that PS3 wasn't on the market. The PS3 sold more than the 360 globally practically every single year, despite the fact that PS3 had tons of negativity on its side:
- $600
- bare bones online network
- media bias and doom and gloom
- inferior multiplats
- supposedly "no games"
- harder to develop for
- terrible marketing
Not only that, it caught up an 8 million lead, and had both consoles released at the same time, PS3 would be 11 million units ahead globally.
Both consoles have released at the same time now, with PS4 having NONE of the weaknesses of last-gen's PS3. They released at the same time and PS3 is already 3.5-4 million units ahead only 7 months in.
The gap is widening. The Xbone would have to sell 50k more than PS4 every week for over 60 consecutive weeks, and THAT simply isn't happening. MAYBE in North America in a long time, but globally... you'd have to be an absolute dunce to think that's going to happen. It's already out in its strongest markets and PS4 is beating it without having released its big guns.
Once the first-party PS4 lineup gets rolling, do you really think Xbone is catching up? I mean seriously? PlayStation is simply a stronger global brand than Xbox, and it isn't changing anytime soon.
The only thing Sony needs to do, is what they've always done and concentrated on providing great games and a diverse lineup.
it depends fro the games ..if they show again games like God OF WAR no they cannot hold their first place (enough already with these sequels from semi successfull serie infamous , uncharted etcetc) ... if they start have new Exclusives Ip specially from Japan like SOuls series and buy some old Ips like Crash Bandicoot then yes they will hold their place
Sony has enjoyed its advantages over the months since release such as, lower price point and availability in more countries than its competitor. E3 combined with their fall lineup will play a major role in sustaining the benefits of their advantages. You can only thrive off your brand name for so long.
