Again, Jim Ryan sold 115 million PS4s
Again, Jim Ryan sold 115 million PS4s
Yeah I’m not seeing the Xbox fanboys pushing this stuff? Or Microsoft itself? Granted I’m not searching people’s profiles but I know Bryank(?) isn’t an Xbox fanboyLove you Bryank, but to see an admitted hardcore Sony fanboy hate Jim so much that they would actually use an Xbox podcast as 'proof' to back up theur argument. Well man times are changing!.
Also to the fanboys blaming Xbox fanboys oevr all this recent negativity, i cant speak for other forums and other gaming sites, but on here its by far Sony fanboys (some not all) that have meltdown over all this recent news.
I mean Christ i have even stuck up for Jim and Sony a few times on here lol.
Let the kids piss on their underwear.i hear jim ryan kicked a puppy then drank its blood too
this fanfiction is getting retarded and making this place impossible to read because the forum is clogged with this garbage
Saw someone posted that this Xboxera person leaked gearbox, ff7r, mlb. Seems he does have his sources...
What if it actually is "that bullshit"?Xbox was smart to get the second game and not Death Stranding. Hopefully Kojima has gotten that bullshit out of his system.

If we assume this rumor is true - I highly doubt Kojimas just gonna return to making normal games from what I’ve seen of his work. If he did move to a game for Xbox I’m sure it’ll be really weird stillDoubtful. I dont think Death Stranding met expectations. Games that sold well get bragged about and hard sales numbers are given. Complete transparency. Kojima will play it safe with this next game. Sony got his art house project. Even Konami knew better than letting him make some shit like that.

Not sure if Koji was talking bullshit but he said he turned a profit and with it secured funding for the next project.The game was met with positive critical reception and also performed quite well financially, with analysts estimating the game has already sold around four million copies. In an interview for Livedoor News, Kojima stated that Death Stranding sold enough copies to turn a profit and secure funding for the next project.
Not sure I agree with that. Do we have hard sales numbers for anything at all these days? we don't have transparency. We don't have hard sales figures for any MS games all gen you think this game will be different or all previous games didn't meet expectations?
Regarding Death Stranding :
Not sure if Koji was talking bullshit but he said he turned a profit and with it secured funding for the next project.
Let's see what he makes if this rumour is even at all true. Might be what Project Mara ended up as in the end.
Microsoft has one thing going for them atm, gamepass. All this other news is meaningless till they have a single first party title get an actual release date. Sony is already dominating.I take it that you were totally fine with spending 2013-2020 watching every gaming forum on earth filled with people shitting all over Microsoft 24/7 though.
This is actually a good thing. Kojima is done, anyone that says yes to him will be the most stupid guy in the room, I'm look at you Phill Spencer...Jim Mattrick strikes again.
Not MS games but even for that sony game we lucked out getting some rough value from a slide trying to show franchise growth. Hardly complete transparency.Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Shipped Over 6 Million Copies - IGN
The number includes downloads and copies shipped to retailers.www.ign.com
God of War Sales Have Passed 10 Million - IGN
God of War has reached a huge milestone as it has now sold over 10 million units since it launched on the PlayStation 4 in April of last year.www.ign.com
The Mattrick comparisons seem increasingly apt.
Jim, you done fucked up.Jim Ryan said 'No' to Kojima's next game
His fingers must be tired after making all those sales himself!Again, Jim Ryan sold 115 million PS4s and he's on pace to sell 200 million PS5s. I'm betting management loves him at Sony.
We are talking about kojima here, he likes to take risk lol : )Doubtful. I dont think Death Stranding met expectations. Games that sold well get bragged about and hard sales numbers are given.

I see your frustration and get that you’re upset about lots of things right now, but do you remember the quiet pre-PS5-launch period?I'm sure if the PlayStation PR did their job, this stuff wouldn't get out of hand.
But there is no communication, fans are upset and wondering what is going on.... PS execs have their heads buried in the sand.
We are talking about kojima here, he likes to take risk lol : )
I hope you're right, it would mzke me feel so much better.... but I have this kinda feeling like Ryan thinks a gamepass like service is the secret weapon and for me.... it really is not.I see your frustration and get that you’re upset about lots of things right now, but do you remember the quiet pre-PS5-launch period?
I would say that it was exactly the same.
Sony fans were angry that Sony did nothing while MS kinda controlled the nextgen talk and had DF to help getting the word out on BC and the internals etc.
Then BAM!
Almost instantly they completely shifted everything so people more or less forgot that Xbox existed for awhile.
I think this is what happens now too. They’re probably quiet because they’re ramping up for an amazing summer show and soon you’ll be raving about how awesome Sony is and you’ll forget all about this Jim Ryan mocking.
Personally I just jumped into VR so I’m super excited to hear what they’re doing with PSVR2. I hope they start talking in detail about that soon, showing games and sharing some info if they have the AAA teams onboard this time, for me that could be the turning point where I start being more excited about Playstation.
I'll say this much...at least you kept the same opinion of him after the rumors of him moving away from PS. I admire your honesty.Nobody should fund his games.
Let him go and get a game made off his own money and then maybe he will understand his own problem.
The fact that people blow smoke up his ass wherever he goes doesn’t help with the giant ego he already has.
This was obviously a deal to publish and fund the project, if the rumours are true and Xbox are in discussions then I'd imagine it would be exclusive if the deal is made. With Sony passing it up though I'm not sure what to expect, I wasn't blown away by DS but who knows.I will wait until official news comes out. For all we know it could still come out on both consoles.
Don’t be so negative. A subscription service isn’t the end of the world, it’s really just cheaper games. If they would do it like MS you’d see third party games come and go, which can be annoying but when they go they’re usually cheaper if you need to buy them so you’re still saving money. And the 1st party games would be there until they close the service.I hope you're right, it would mzke me feel so much better.... but I have this kinda feeling like Ryan thinks a gamepass like service is the secret weapon and for me.... it really is not.
This time I can't blame him mind. Death Stranding was crap and must have cost a fortune to make and I bet never met Sony sales targets.Jim Mattrick strikes again.

Death Stranding cost alot and didn't make much money to Sony. So why would Jim waste money on this hack overrated developer (MGSV only kojima i like) again when he has top tier 1st party devs under his belt?
