Did Jim Ryan make a game console stop being a game console?
Jim Ryan looks like the dad from an Australian sitcom.
I spent a good 45 seconds thinking about a "beating around the bush" joke but I don't have the energy.
Pre orders was a mess. ( I know maybe it was not him fault).
"Playstation believes in generatios" but Spider-Man MM y Horizon FW coming to PS4.
"The Xbox series S will be a failure".
"I dont care the olders games, they look outdated".
Premium games will be $70.
What a mess with Spider between PS4 and PS5.
More PS games coming to PC ( what is the point to buy a $500 dls console if they games are not console exclusive anymore?)
Its like a Microsoft insider in PlayStation.
He must GO ASAP.
**Edit**I know that PS cant leave all the millions of PS4 base with Spider-Man MM and Horizon FW, but if you KNOW that, you CANT say: "In Playstation belive in generations" you just keep your mouth shout and say another thing in the best polite way possible.
I fucking miss Andrew House and Jack Trenton.
Maybe the whole reason that the interest in the system is high is the result of the generation they dominated.Preorders sold out, and interest in the system appears to be high. This coming off a generation they dominated.
Very well said.Jim Ryan is a SCEE veteran going back to PS era and is originally a finance guy who became a COO and was the power behind the throne of the David Reeves SCEE era, before ascending to global roles. He is not a games guy, he is a straight talking tough as hell business guy. The success of PlayStation in EMEA for nigh on the three decades he's been there suggests he's doing something right. The console wars aren't fought by three comic book villains in evil lairs they're fought by gigantic ultra corporate organisations and we focus on figureheads to an absurd degree. You don't want someone who makes good memes you want someone who can get shit done alongside thousands of talented and expensive people against a handful of brutal competitors who are also prepared to lose billions of dollars fighting you.
So, a Phil Spencer without the money.I think after the we believe in generations lie, Jim Ryan will never be taken seriously.
but no, hes not as bad as don matrick. yes, he produced a weaker console but it's not 50% weaker. its also $100 cheaper than the microsoft console. despite the focus on cross gen, there are still a bunch of games coming out on the ps5. their first year is stacked unlike anything else. so things could be worse.
i would say he's the new Phil Spencer. for every good thing he does, there is something equally shitty. but they are both salesmen and you arent getting people like Jack Tretton, Shu Yoshida and Andrew House anymore. those guys truly cared about the playstation.

Strange, seems most posts and threads are by Xbox FansPlaystation fans have literally gone insane after the bombshell by Microsoft. You hate to see it.
It's 2006 all over again. And that's not a good thing.Strange, seems most posts and threads are by Xbox Fans
I've seen members I didn't know existed crawl out their hole.
The last 24hrs has been like the Left telling Black people they're oppressed.
Ironically all those games MS had just got was exclusive to Xbox back then tooIt's 2006 all over again. And that's not a good thing.
Remember GTAIV? DLC exclusivity was ok back then. Nowadays people think it's worse than entire publisher buyouts LOL.Ironically all those games MS had just got was exclusive to Xbox back then too
yeah I remember, and the exclusives expansion packs for Tomb Raider Underworld that remain exclusive to this day, along with the Next-Gen version of Tomb Raider LegendRemember GTAIV? DLC exclusivity was ok back then. Nowadays people think it's worse than entire publisher buyouts LOL.
"We believe in generations"is an empty statement, it doesn't mean the day the new console is out we drop the old one (we were certainly led to believe that tho).**Edit**I know that PS cant leave all the millions of PS4 base with Spider-Man MM and Horizon FW, but if you KNOW that, you CANT say: "In Playstation belive in generations" you just keep your mouth shout and say another thing in the best polite way possible.
