Sony's job is to get good games on to its platform.

If there are good games people will continue to buy the console and Sony will keep getting their cut of the game sales.

There are enough games for me on the PS for this year - I do not give a rats behind if they are 1st Party, 3rd Party or exclusive.

Did I care whether Elden Ring was exclusive or 1st party - no I just enjoyed playing it.

As for competition - FromSoftware want to sell games as do Larian and even the likes of Ubisoft. You need competition for the games rather than the hardware if you want a good gaming environment. The first two have done more for games than both Sony and MS's first party division. Despite that PS would still have competition from PC manufacturers if the PC manufacturers got their fingers out their backside and created an $800 gaming PC and actually bothered advertising it. Sony knows there is a top price that we will pay for a console even if there is no more Xbox generations.

This right here.

We have Helldivers 2, Rise of Ronin, and Stellar Blade coming out all before May

I'm sure more games will be announced for the fall BUT

It takes 5 to 7 years to work on and complete a major single player AAA game. Most of Sony's major studios just released games (4 years ago) and are still working on their current projects. I totally understand why Sony has had to rely on 3rd/2nd Party studios this year. And Im glad they did, since they could fill in some gaps with their first party release schedule.

So with all the news, rumors of MS going 3rd party and bringing games to Switch and PlayStation it got me thinking....

If Xbox is going the way of Sega Consoles.......who would be the first System Wars Forum loser?

I've been here since 2005 (god knows why someone tell me to stop) and even a couple of years before that before making an account. BUT I don't remember there being a system wars forum back then, or how old the forum is.

Was the forum around during the time of the Sega Dreamcast from 1998 to 2001? If so Sega and the Dreamcast would be the first and only as of now loser.

Or if the xbox line of consoles goes the way dodo would MS and the Xbox Series X be the first loser of the forum?

Remember Im only talking about the history of the forum. So Atari Consoles, Panasonic, Apple, etc don't matter, unless this forum is way older than I think it is.

Digital is the future. I don’t get it. Why cling to physical, with digital you have all your games in one place. I wouldn’t go back to physical on the PC either.

The fact that Sony released a digital only version speaks volumes to the path they’d also prefer.

As a consumer I like to have the option of physical or digital. I also find MUCH better deals at second hand stores for physical copies over digital, through out the year.

It's more about consumer choice. Personally I like the ritual of going to stores and picking up a game. Then having a collection. It's a big reason VINYL records came back of all things.

Nothing beats the Xbox 360 controller back in the old days, it was the best controller I ever used and now, the Xbox Series controller for my gaming PC gets way more love. Used to own an Xbox Elite but I abuse that sucker out big time. So the Series controller is my jam.

The DS5 now isn't so far behind, I do like the evolutionary of what Sony is trying to do and so far, it does feel evolutionary of a controller cause I think innovating a controller should be a thing.

And finally, back during PS1 era, when Sony introduced their analog controller, it was no more playing tank controllers, and playing it with Ape Escape was a huge game changer.

Im in a similar boat.

I really like the 360 controller but the DS5 is damn close if not better. I go back and forth.

It doesn't ruin anything. Dogshit games receive what they deserve, and with the social media being what it is, it makes these weirdo developers lose money, which is nothing but a good thing. The next in line is Suicide Squad, and it'll be 110% deserved.

I kinda agree with this, I used to believe that if a game was getting at least 7's across the board it would at least be a good enough game to try out, especially if it was on sale.

Then Starfield came out, got 8, and 9 across the board and that game is half assed and shallow. So now I don't know what to do anymore.

@ghostofgolden: Imagine if MS did go hard as a third party publisher....

They could release Halo MCC the same week as a Sony Exclusive to try and steal sales

or release ES6 when Spiderman 3 or Wolverine comes out

If I were MS I would just dick with Sony release dates

I saw the rumor about a switch release, I would be shocked if this came out for PS.

I'd rather have Sunset Overdrive TBH

@gifford38: It's just the now standard SW copy/paste stuff, doesn't matter if it's true or not just designed to trigger people and it's something to post when there is no real response and nothing substantial to say.

Which is why this place has now got so boring, it's not even fun to come in SW cause its the same copy/paste every day. And people wonder why how we lost so many posters over the years.

Thank you! It's maddening to see the same fanboys post the same crap over and over again.

You know we could talk about other stuff and facilitate more conversation. It's why I've mostly moved to reddit, the vibe is just better there.

I think this would be a great topic for the System Wars podcast.
