Great systems.
Lol oh he is one of these guysSays that why will anyone go to retailer and buy a game when they can get it free (via Active sub of course)
He is not talking about sale numbers, but as importance as a box.A quick Google search shows me that the Nintendo 64 sold around 33 million consoles in its lifetime. From this, I conclude that David Jaffe doesn't know what he's fucking talking about.
You had no choice with Nintendo if you wanted to play 3rd party. Not the case with the other 2. Once you have your preferred console, you rarely step out.He is not talking about sale numbers, but as importance as a box.
You got a gamecube for exclusives you wanted to play, then use playstation/xbox for everything else.
Cant say I disagree with him, its the way I've been using my playstation after xbone x was released, and it looks like its going to go like this too for this new generation.
Free is a bit of a stretch but not much of one.. the cost of one game on PS5 will pay for 4.6 months of gamepass.
You quoted me before adding the gamepass clause. Jaffe is right about that too, and I'm not even a budget gamer.You had no choice with Nintendo if you wanted to play 3rd party. Not the case with the other 2. Once you have your preferred console, you rarely step out.
It also pays for nearly 2 years worth of PS+, which if you've had it as long as I have already grants access to well over 100 titles. And that's immediately going to be supplemented by the PS5 bonus pack of first-party PS4 heavy-hitters.
Despite all the bluster about studio acquisitions, GamePass is still going to grow relatively slowly in terms of content. Games take years to make and given the amount of red ink that running all these studios is going to generate, I can't see the rate of buying in third-party going anywhere but down long term.
He says it around the 5:35 mark.
Something is off at Sony. I will never for the life of me understand why they built a console that requires an odd little stand regardless of orientation. It literally can't stand on it's own.
Still, the games they've shown look good. I will not be cancelling my pre-order Mr. Jaffe.
And to think there was a time when Sony closed a psx event with this filth:
Ungrateful prick.
If you've had PSPlus for years OK, but are you saying someone who has not been collecting PSPlus games free can retroactively go back and get 100 games? because I've been an active subscriber for years and I can't go back and get the ones I didn't claim when they were up.
Jaffe states, who on earth will buy a game when they can get games on gamepass. This I agree with. And if true;
It is curious what will happen when AAA studios wanting to sell their product see sales decline on Xbox, but not so on PS.
All I can say is that the first God of War games are still something I play through from time to time, whereas I don't have any desire to play through the newest God of War again because the gameplay suffered from their focus on delivering a cinematic experience, IMHO. I like to play video games, not watch them. And it seems that many game directors are trying to imitate Hollywood or are even ashamed of embracing games that are OK being games and I find this a really sad trend. And you are one of the directors whose games were and are still OK with being games and for that I just wanted to say: Thanks, man.I never said Sony management was 'incoherent'. That doesn't even make sense. What, you think I'm suggesting when they speak no one understands what they are saying?!?
I'm not 50+. I'm 49.
To those going on about 'being relevant': most who talk about such things have yet to be relevant in their own lives. As someone who has been very relevant in games at one point I can assure you, it's fun for a few months and then it's whatever. It's not something most people chase or cling to. When you have it you are no more or less happy than before you got it; when it goes you don't really care if you've got your shit together. One day- if you become relevant too- you will learn that it (like fame) isn't something worth chasing.

What are the right things they are not doing? Exclusive content? I am curious why people believe PS5 was going to be much different than PS4 when it comes to that kind of stuff.Nah, he is wrong in that sales department.
He is right that Sony is acting very weird, obfuscating what they are doing even, and not doing the right things lately with the PS5.

The number of PS+ subscribers is 40m+, which is practically the same size as the entire Xbox 1 install-base.
PS Plus is not even remotely comparable to game pass, it's comparable to Xbox Live Gold which has.. .90 Million active users. So you've proven my point not even meaning to. Xbox has twice the subscribers than they have hardware on the market, Sony has half. (actually far less than half) So to anyone outside of that 40 million you get no benefit from PSplus except the 2-3 games per month (which are usually dogshit games). I have not bothered to claim a game on Xbox Live or PS plus for over a year now.

How in the world can anyone think the PS5 will sell about 30 million consoles?! Is davidjaffe drunk?
He never projects that PS5 will sell N64/GC numbers. He mentions that like the N64/GC the main value proposition for the PS5 will be it's exclusives. If your main concern is the suggestion that the PS5 is going to sell 30m units then you're not criticizing davidjaffe , you are criticizing M Max_Po who made up a sensational thread title for clicks.
People would rather throw fucking DAVID JAFFE to the wolves than just admit Xbox is making the better plays going into next gen.

Look whenever Sony makes good on the promise of top tier exclusives (they’re still the best at this until proven otherwise) then the conversation will change. But as it stands right now you can’t read the future and neither can I. Judging the console and services provided however, Xbox is just better.If that's the case then sorry davidjaffe .
They are? Are we sure? What games are coming out on the XSX at launch at in 2021?
Hear that, Gold has 40 million more users than there are people with Xbox Ones, lol. They have 90 million SILVER active users, not Gold, because people on PC are considered part of their silver program (we couldn't buy Gold if we wanted to).
Oh and some of the games we've gotten through PS+ have been legitimate gaming phenoms like Rocket League or Fall Guys, nevermind they've given out Bloodborne, the best game ever made.

Like I said this could change but don’t be the guy ahead of the Switch launch saying how it’s going to flop because it’s not a dedicated home console. Gamers are so bad at protecting the future. I hope none of you guys dabble in stocks for any of these companies.
IT was apparently a “power struggle”. He has a long history with the company and he’s even fluent in Japanese. He is like the perfect employee for Sony. Then you have to consider what happen when they moved their main base of operations to the US. Did that cause upper management to disrupt the culture over at PlayStation? I’m curious myself. Sony had the nice group of people behind them. Andrew House and Adam Boyes left. Layden left right after they showed off that dramatic TLoU2 trailer inside a church.I'm still curious about Shawn Layden's abrupt exit, to be honest. It's still unusual no matter how you look at it, and it wasn't over health issues or a family crisis like would normally be the case.
Interested to see what led to him leaving.
