- Sony's next-gen strategy is to effectively bury Microsoft in games. Sony executives want to make their margin of victory even bigger than the PS4's (which was roughly 2:1 PS4:XB1
- Achieving this is a two prong strategy, first is expanding first party development by a large amount, second is by purchasing timed console exclusivity on many titles
- Sony intends to release a major first party title every 2 months in 2021. First two are Ratchet and Clank in January and Horizon in March. The final one will be God of War: Ragnarok in November.
- Many publishers who wanted too much money or were hostile to timed exclusivity are now more open to it due to Game Pass. Microsoft is pressuring devs and publishers to make their games Day One Game Pass. However this kills all sales on XBox. It varies slightly but games that are day one Game Pass tend to sell 5-10% as much as they do on PS4, and Microsoft refuses to pay worthwhile sums for putting games on Game Pass
- The Series S is also making developers and publishers more amicable to Sony exclusivity. The console's low and slow ram makes it difficult to downport games designed for Series X and PS5 to the box, and Microsoft is demanding devs ship on Series S to ship on Series X.
- The Bethesda acquisition worried some executives but Microsoft seems uninterested in making their games even timed exclusives. Sony was attempting to get timed exclusivity on Starfield and this may still happen without even a large price increase.
- Sony is not currently interested in acquiring any studios despite Microsoft's statement.
- Sony is currently working on a Silent Hill game that is being developed by SIE Japan. Sony is also in talks with Konami for a deal on their IPs. Not purchasing them outright, but Sony gets the rights to produce console and PC titles for Silent Hill, Castlevania and Metal Gear, while Konami retains ownership and can continue to monetize them in arcade/pachinko machines and mobile games.
Sony Info
- Kojima has expressed interest in overseeing a collection and returning to Metal Gear in some capacity. He outright vetoed Revengeance 2 when it was floated. Seems there's some bad blood between Kojima and Platinum.
- There are people in the company who want to develop PS1 and PS2 emulation capabilities for PS5 but Jim Ryan is opposing it. He's fully convinced back compat is a total waste of time and not a worthwhile feature
- There's no plans to improve Sony's image with indie devs at this time. Seems they're content in allowing this to be a blindspot.
- The Last of Us 2 was a financial bomb. It sold well, however it had the largest development and marketing budget of any Sony first party title. Druckmann apparently promised executives '15 million sales minimum' and it seems unlikely the game will get much past 10.
- There's apparently internal strife at Naughty Dog since some people want to make a large Joel DLC to try and get the game more sales and appease Sony executives but Druckmann is vehemently against it
- Ashley Burch is in God of War: Ragnarok. She's playing a goddess who will be an antagonist for a chunk of the game. Sif I think.
- Yes, Anthony Burch is also working on Ragnarok. He was hired as a favor to Ashley Burch. He's writing incidental dialogue (the stuff you hear riding the boat, or banter with merchants.) No involvement in the actual story of the game.
- PS+ will go to 79.99 yearly in Fall of 2021, and 13.99 monthly. The PS+ Collection was a move to make it sting less when they raise the price.
- Sony is planning a PS4 Hardware Revision. 199.99 with multiple PS4 games bundled with it, and a 149.99 digital version with the same games. Goal is to offer a valuable low-cost option for people who might be considering a Series S, and to help push total PS4 sales over the PS2 hill. Disk version will have 4K Blu-ray capabilities.
- Demon's Souls is not actually coming to PC. That was actually a human error. Final Fantasy 16 is, though.
- Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West are cross-gen because most of their development happened with the expectation they'd ship before the PS5 launched. All future Sony first party titles will be PS5 exclusive.
- Bluepoint is also working on a remaster of Legend of Dragoon. Will not be a full remake on the scale of FF7R but rather extremely high fidelity models and backgrounds. Will largely be the same game with some gameplay issues smoothed out.
- Spyro/Crash style remakes of the Jak games is early in development. Same for Ape Escape.
- Sony wants to make a Playstation Allstars Battle Royale 2. Issue is they can't find anyone willing to make it outside the company and don't have any team internally suited for it, so it's stalling (lol)
YAWWWWNNNNNNN Snoys talk to much to say they have no games.

All this shit is pure fanfiction based off of rumors and shit we’ve seen in articles
I can see some of this being true, but the rest is bullshit.
What were they thinking?
Yeah, plus, the guy is implying that Sony knows information that only Microsoft could know.
This is actually true, we have numbers on it.
>Sony's info
>begins to talk about the competitor's console like Sony has any info on that
>Kojima vetoed Revengeance 2
FUCKING KOJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bro I'm not part of Sony OR Microsoft and can tell you the Series S won't be able to run shit, it's called 'not being tech illiterate'.
Also multiple devs have already said Series S is required to ship on Series X. We know this shit.
it's bullshit all of it.

this is where this thread lost all sense of credibility
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH NIGGER SNEED SNEED THE WAR WITH SNEED ON SNEED SNEEED?????? SNEEEDDDDDDDDDDD
What did xbox win? Name 1 good game on the Xbox one X. Just 1. In all the years. Just 1 exclusive. I'm waiting. Microsoft went bankrupt last gen. That is why they are opting for gamepass, they can't make physical copies anymore. Their OS is dying and people are swapping to Linux since Bill left. Their console is a worthless piece of trash with no games. So what did xbox win exactly?
OP IS A FAGGOT WITH THE IQ OF A MAGGOT! SNEEEDDDDD SNEEED SNEEED SNEEED!!!! TILLL MY EYEEESSS BLLLLEEEEEEEDDDD A SNEEED FOR SPEED A NEED FOR SNEED
Have we heard any dev saying gamepass is a problem for them?
>this is where this thread lost all sense of credibility
it had no credibility from the start faggot, but Last of us 2 had a big budget and shilling/marketing budget, so i doubt it yhey made the money back
>- Sony's next-gen strategy is to effectively bury Microsoft in games. Sony executives want to make their margin of victory even bigger than the PS4's (which was roughly 2:1 PS4:XB1
well theyve already failed then cause theres no games and i already have my SeX preordered
This is a larp thread but half of it is bound to happen anyway and Zig Forums is out of their minds if they think the PS5 will so poorly
Don't give a shit, they still censor games and lose everything they have to PC. Sold my ps4 and I will never look back.
You can’t believe that games that are offered on a rental service sell well can you?
>nothing at all about Gran Turismo
yep, it's a roleplayer
>He outright vetoed Revengeance 2 when it was floated. Seems there's some bad blood between Kojima and Platinum.
What the fuck
>Same for Ape Escape.
This is how you know OP is lying and smokes cocks daily.
>bury Microsoft in games
>keeps losing exclusives, third-party titles and has less dev studios than Microsoft
Sure.
Have Snoys really gone off the deep end by writing fan fictions on Zig Forums? lul Snoycels are seething
How can Sony bury Xbox ? This plan falls apart right there on 2021 Xbox will release halo infinite, starfeld and forza horizon 5 all those games will be bigger or as big as gow ragonark.
get a life loser read none of this fanfiction shit go back to /trash/ to your fanfic thread loser
kek microsoft is FUCKED if this is true
>Microsoft went bankrupt last gen.
>Their OS is dying and people are swapping to Linux since Bill left.
>Their console is a worthless piece of trash with no games.
And still had the liquidity to buy Zenimax of all companies. Try harder next time.
>- Kojima has expressed interest in overseeing a collection and returning to Metal Gear in some capacity. He outright vetoed Revengeance 2 when it was floated. Seems there's some bad blood between Kojima and Platinum.
I already hated kojima the fraud and told Zig Forums for years that this son of a whore has never made a good game and that the best thing that came out of the Metal Gear franchise is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but now I hate him even more, he is truly a garbage human, talentless on of a whore who should have been aborted. Thank God SHIT STRANDIING exposed him for the fraud he is and that he got RAPED by a TRUE GAME DEVELOPER, based Miyazaki.
Fuck kojima and fuck anyone that likes him, you deserve death.
RIP Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 2.
This, more games and uncensored Japanese games, what is the reason to even get a PS5 at this point when the Xbox Series X and Switch exist?
>low cost PS4
I'd get one for blu-rays and Gundam Breaker 3 alone to be honest
>second is by purchasing timed console exclusivity on many titles
This shit backfired hard. You cant play who was the bigger dick with someone the size of microsoft.
This plus Sony is going to start running out of money. Western devs want power and the Xbox Series X can provide that, eastern devs want uncensored games and the Xbox and Switch can provide that, why bother with the PS5?
