Jim Ryan: "We will make sure the PlayStation 5 generation has more exclusive software than ever before

Great to hear, I'm focusing on beating xbox /3rd party games so I could then dedicate my time for the ps5 , I'm in no rush by any means this generation, I'm just being reasonable and realistic when it comes to buying what I'm really going to play .

Oh please, we can all love god guy Phil as much as we want, but c’mon… :p. Who are we fooling here :LOL:?
There are on both sides partisan double standards, but I have seen nobody on the PS side showing a Cult of Personality for Ryan like Phil Spencer gets from his fanbase (nothing will stick to him no matter if he criticised exclusives one day and buys a developer or gets a timed exclusive the next, being Xbox Games Studio GM has no responsibility of anything that happened, he can speak I’ll about console wars and fanboys and he still employs people like Greenberg that make of console warrish trolling online an art form, etc…).
None of them are good guys. They are business men and does what's making the most income.

If we stop pretending exclusives are everything, then Spencer - no, the Xbox team has a good track record of doing pro consumer things because they are being crushed by their competitors.
Pushing cross play, the first console platform to offer refund, made bc work last gen etc.

My post was just a teasing post to that edgy post I replied.

Spencer gets positive response because the things they do, mixed with some negative posts.
Ryan gets a lot of negative responses at the moment because he don't really say anything, or does things people don't like like destroying Japanese studios, mixed with some positive posts.

And then there's the fanboys on team Green and blue that sees everything in black and white, which the poster made a supreme example of.

The thing that I have to say all this is sad 😒

Sony pushed crossplay since PS2 era, Sony made a BC since PS2. But yeah, MS was the first in refund

jimbo feels like a snake, ostracizing the japanese region yet giving exclusive interview to nikkei?

imo he needs to be clear and show us his direction. saying just don't cut it with how sneaky jimbo has been

Snake know snake?

You don’t give a shit how clear Sony’s “plan” is, stop pretending you do. Even if Jimbo laid everything out with cutesy drawings and diagrams you would still be complaining — your blinders are adjusted to only see shades of green.

How is he gonna do that when he has been closing 1st party studios, focusing on AAA games and driving the talent away?

I don't think Jimbo "why would anybody play this?" Ryan realizes that buying timed exclusives and games that are also on PC are not really exclusive software.

With Xbox now having 20+ studios - I sure hope and expect PS to have more exclusives than they did with PS4.

Xbox are catching up very fast and every year that does by and the war chest opens is a step closer to Xbox vastly overtaking with exclusives

I agree it is sad, but I also have to agree with those that see a level of fanaticism / cult of personality praise towards whatever Phil says or does and nothing sticking to him while if people found out something odd Ryan did in kindergarten they would still use it today to criticise him or something he says.

I have not seen a level of fanaticism / cult of personality similar to that towards a CEO in Sony since the KK days, but even then.

The fact that we are comparing the response from each of the canvases towards their respective Boss as if they were the same is also a bit sad…

Well....he did said that he believes in generations.

He said this actually ;):
"We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features."
"We do believe in generations, and whether it's the DualSense controller, whether it's the 3D audio, whether it's the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5."

Yeah, everything is taken out of context, same crap as 'who wants to play that'. 😉

It sounded like that. But Sony pushed crossplay and BC even in PS3 era where they were slapped at the beginning.

For refund you did, which was, though.
Doesn't really help that Sony was the first with it, only to ditch it later. They should have sticked with it.

The thing I said, or meant, is Microsoft does so much right by supporting this where Sony the last couple of years outright are against things like these.

I agree on you that Spencer has a following where Ryan doesn't, but the PlayStation department alone seems to have more praise than Spencer.

These people defending sonys defence against cross play that they didn't want to play against these edgy kids. Defending 70 and even 80 euro games with greatness costs money.

Some defended no digital refund with people should buy physical or do their research before buying a game.

So on team Green where its one person gets all the praise (even though there's a whole department behind him) whereas PlayStation as a whole gets the same praise.

It's stupid either way. People are seeing them as friends that benefits them while they are nothing but wallets.

They surely had a good telemetry to see who plays BC games. Sony never was against BC games. BC games is a nice feature to have, not a selling point and never was. Also, they were never against crossplay ( there was a problem with console crossplay, but never with PC and Android platform)

That's true. But they were specifically against cross play with xbox AFAIK.

And while bc isn't the true selling point, it's not bad to have as many features as possible to make the whole package better and more appealing.

With FFXI (and now FF XIV) it was actually the other way around I recall.
That's true. If I recall correctly wasn't that one of the reasons the game didn't launch on Xbox as well?

Thankfully both platforms seems to be more open to things like these, and I think the backlash would be more today if either decided to disable things like these.

It's just recently Microsoft decided to make f2p games not require gold, something PlayStation never had required.

But while Sony always had this policy, it still gets praised from Spencer because after all its a new thing and positive move from them compared to before.

If that happens or not it will be because of what Microsoft decides not what Sony decides.

Microsoft is literraly 20 times the size of Sony.

Did you just learn how to research financials and market cap and couldn't wait to post it?

simply because there is no one at Sony who has the same charisma as spencer. spencer gave the impression and in many cases did it objectively to choose the best for the divisiin Which according to many PlayStation users is not happening with Jimbo at the Playstation, indeed many see it as a threat

Sure… charisma is the answer :rolleyes: that completely justifies the cult of personality where the big head honcho cannot do anything wrong where the other boss has anything thrown at him from stupid things he did while still in the crib to stretched truths/taken out of context statements…

well yes It is charisma yes , is the same type of cult that M. Cerny has many times remaining on a technical level in my opinion unjustified (two of the 3 console he designed are not that's engineering marvels) but does not stop fans from raising it almost to god

Whataboutism and deflecting to Cerny + Unjustified what?
Now derailing the thread further with even less justifications or ground to stand on, but please fill your boots I guess ;).

Well done Sony, that's how you make people buy your console. Microsoft should take note.

Sony are doing more than people think. For example I know for a fact that PSVR2 exists and has titles being worked on for it release in 2022.
Everybody knows PSVR2 exists. It was announced some months ago. We even got details on the controllers from the PlayStation blog.
