Game analyst firm Newzoo modeled a slight decrease in gaming industry revenues for 2021, though it's a mere rebound from the explosive 2020. The growth will continue from next year onward.
Is PlayStation making a mistake by skipping Gamescom and other huge events? We weigh in
"Nope"
That´s why you getting none. Keep on giving Sony a pass while real Playstation fans are giving them a hard time demanding better.
PlayStation is the number 1 selling console. Sony’s marketing strategy is working. Also consider that Microsoft is now a 3rd party publisher. They will go where the other 3rd party publishers go. I’m sure you’ll eventually see Halo in a PlayStation State of Play.
Yeah, why should sony waist money on the fans who keep propping them up no matter what?
Can you imagine if MS was software only, why would sony ever do shows?
@Obscure_Observer
Out of all humans I know, you are the least qualified one to tell people to stop giving a company they support a pass.
Lol, as if you guys didn't give MS an unlimited pass for a very, very long time already.
Did you have that same energy for Xbox when the droughted you guys for a decade plus? I doubt it
You are right though. Sony has got to give us some sort of gameplan, something, cause Concord, marathon, fairgames, ain't gonna cut it.
@Obscure
You must have amnesia. Do you only remember the MS show and then assume that Sony must immediately respond? Why? Because MS showed a bunch of multiplatform games? Now, Sony must show too? Makes no sense.
Unlike MS, Sony has been releasing exclusive games all along. MS hasnt even released anything yet.
No because they can have their own shows. In fact, all platform holders abandoned “big shows” until recently that MS has decided to go back. Sony don’t have to follow.
But, I am expecting, and want Sony to show its hand sooner rather than later with a major showing.
Hmm well for all the talk in these forums, Sony sure does seem like they know what they’re doing
‘Is PlayStation Skipping Big Shows A Mistake?’
As hardcore gamers we miss the big shows, but it hasn’t stopped the PS5 sales success. Hosting shows is not a guarantee of success just ask Microsoft.
Unless you just sit on here or Twitter playing sales or worried about sales instead of playin games then have fun.
I never expected Sony to show up as they stop going 5 years now but there's a few ways of looking at it.
1 it is frustrating to see Sony not get ppl hyped and excited for its console with a road map. Makes sense.
2 when MS wouldn't show up to Gamescom or TGS sucked at E3 is because they simply didn't have studios to show at any event through out the year. It's not a studio problem for Sony clearly, Hiroki has been transparent and said he's internally delayed their big games to ensure quality. It's as simple as that. Naturally that means we have to wait.
I'm gonna say the same thing I said with Xbox back then, 3rd party rules, nobody will be bored this holiday to next year because most will be playin 3rd party anyway, unless all you do is sweat about exclusives and that's all you play, yeah you're gonna get bored.
Point is, my second summary outweighs my first thought. They're cooking you simply have to wait come SGF next year, I think we'll be blown away.
I mean if they have nothing to show then they have nothing to show. I wish they did have something to show but if they don't why would they attend a Big show? 🤷♂️
No point in showing stuff that's 12+ months out. Wait until it's closer to release.
I miss Sony presence at big shows, but they've been doing this for years and been doing fine without them.
Angelus Victor said: Publisher Spike Chunsoft, Inc. has just announced that from June 19 to July 3, 2024, they will be holding a Mid-Year Deals Sale on the PlayStation Store. Some of their hit games can be obtained with huge discounts, so we’ve lined up five games you should definitely get in this limited-time sale.
The Epic Games Store continues to throw free games at us, and this week there are two more.
Makes sense, we haven't had much else to do but stay at home for the past year - which for most, means more gaming.
Once vaccination rates are up and things start re-opening, people are going to go consume other forms of entertainment.
