The Sony PlayStation changed the gaming industry’s landscape when it was introduced to players 30 years ago. The PlayStation 2 went on to become best-selling console of all time, a title it still holds today. But the company has its fair share of challenges ahead with the ever-changing gaming sector. Just last year, Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard threatened the landscape of gaming exclusivity. And Sony faces some headwinds with lower demand and industry-wide layoffs. Sony has continually adapted and evolved over the span of the past three decades, but can it continue to hold strong in the console wars? CNBC spoke with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan, former SIE Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden and other experts to find out.

Why not lol people fight over hyped games that are full of bugs or bastardize the original. Let alone sports games and fighters with their predatory dlc and currency when they get obsolete within a year anyway. Though vid may not be best. Short answer is ps5 is console king though they shot themselves in the foot through ps plus price increases (the sales forgive this and the $10/lack of ps5 upgrade version let alone adding an occasional good game, even if you own on a competitor, to load faster). However, the hybrid consoles may overtake it given switch success, and steam deck for a stronger machine though asus rog ally (can't dock to tv) can use windows 11 and that opens up new doors. Xbox is a game pass ecosystem to use on hybrid or series S. No real point to upgrade either digital system as ps5 slim is $50 more and you need a separate stand to go vertical (original did both). Sony also censored sexual content from games more than nintendo lol 20 bunnies (though steam has an adult games filter). I omit series x unless you need physical retro backwards compatible games as many xbox games do not have physicals, let alone releases unlike competitors, and even then, you got access with steam deck as well. At least smart delivery is cool as a free upgrade and series s good filler for out of stock ps5 back then. Limited specs nowadays. It will be difficult for nintendo to compete with this as they're milking mario really badly this year. At least they perform well on the old bird, and are making first party games unlike Sony, who has completely abandoned psvr2 as well after that boring rock climbing horizon game (the Wizards is way better). 1:40 gaming crashed in 2024 and sony/xbox had tons of layoffs unlike Nintendo.

Good idea skipping gamecube to own a wii. Backwards compatibility really helped switching teams to afford a new console every gen when feasible. I did similar with xbone to ps5 though I did have a series s when ps5 was out of stock, but it helps giving to a friend and playing another copy of my digital games with better performance. Kinda useless now with steam decks and hybrid consoles playing game pass. Remote play is better everywhere else than ps portal that does nothing standalone. Yet that sold like spiderman 2 which had bugs and sony said they're retiring Peter (no 2 player nor 2 character campaign as you play as Peter or Miles as the missions tell you, let alone mary jane always wins with the taser lol). Ff7 rebirth sold a lot despite censoring Tifa and using a silly stagger gauge, and bsing with multiverse to be a deviantart version of the original lol.

Pretty good interview but one thing to clear up is the PS2 became successful due to having a built-in DVD player . The PlayStation 3 became successful not only because of its games but also because of the built-in Blu-ray player which was a brand new Cutting Edge technology at the time.

@MijoShrek 2 месяца назад

PS2 was backwards compatible so it felt like the console was consumer friendly by welcoming you to only expand your video game catalogue by having that bridge forward for users and still be able to keep classics you enjoyed. And the PS2 watershed moment for games was the release of GTA Vice City. Definitely helped push the sales of their consoles. Around that time, everyone and their mom were going ham with Vice City playing for days, lol.

@n_core 2 месяца назад

The initial high price of the PS3 also overshadows the fact that it has a PS2 chip which means it's backward compatible with PS2 and PS1 games. Later PS3 consoles which sold with a price cut didn't have the chip. So essentially less money for way less feature you can get.

Sony and Microsoft fell into their own trap, which is investing only in the visuals of games, leaving fun in the background. They need to spend millions to develop a single game, taking years to finish. This has become a snowball effect. A game doesn't need to be photorealistic, in 4K or have ray tracing to be enjoyable. Nintendo is swimming in money because the focus is on fun and graphics are just a complement.

The market is set. Create a underpowered tablet, low res screen and no media apps. Make sure the console does 15fps through 30 fps, with some off chance 60fps. Make color full games like princess peach and you win. No one wants a powerhouse with beautiful graphics, and 4k support with all the media apps. No one wants haptic feedback or adaptive triggers. People want small cramped joycons with drift. That's how to win. Nintendo is the winner 🏆

they are just winning because they were pumping many new and old low budget exclusive games and because wii U was a massive failure so a fresh comeback is easier to be done if they do something "right" and they did, switch was ok. Now is too old, gamewise they just make the same jump and run stuff with just different heros.. one day the customers will get bored of the same games or knock off titles. PS 5 is a solid device but it feels somehow abandoned like the series X also does. This console generation is in crysis due to the high development cost(software). They should just stop the exclusivity stuff if they want to bring next gen experiences and graphics, giving PC gamers also a chance ( which they already do and is awesome)

If you also see the FTC case that Microsoft was in for their merger, you can see that Nintendo makes more 1st Party Revenue (revenue for titles they published) than Sony or Microsoft. Sony does have better 3rd party support and makes more on their subscription plans, so they get more overall revenue than Nintendo in those sectors, however.

It all started during the SNES since Sony build the audio chip for the SNES, then the SNES CD add-on to try something since Sega had the Sega CD. Nintendo grew nervous with the CD add-on since Sony might use this to try to get into the video game market, so Nintendo did a behind the back deal with Phillips (Sony’s rival) for development of the CD-i which we know how that ended. Sony went to Sega (after the failed partnership with Nintendo)to work together Sega of America and Tom Kalinske agreed, but Hayao Nakayama and Sega of Japan turned the idea down since they thought it was a stupid idea and said that Sony doesn’t know how to make hardware. So Sony decided to go solo and released the PS1 which outsold the N64 and the Saturn giving the middle finger to both Nintendo and Sega and the rest is history

That's why Sony also keeps producing western movies, not Japanese ones. Because Sony wants to always secure America as their cash cow. Remember that Sony got effortless 800 million bucks from COD alone. That amount of money was generated by mostly American gamers, not Japanese gamers. COD is made in America, owned by an American company, bought by American gamers, generated by American gamers' support, but that 800 million bucks went to Japan through Sony PlayStation.

@kthebarbarian8223 2 месяца назад

The Switch is NOT a home console. It's a handheld. People keep calling it a "hybrid", but it isn't. It's a handheld device that has a dock, like other handheld devices. The Switch Lite which is also counted in the sales totals can't be docked at all. This is like comparing Nintendo DS sales to PS3 sales. They aren't really competing in the same market, and because the Switch isn't powerful enough, their libraries are literally about 90% different. There's a reason that the FTC and CMA trial largely ignored Nintendo as a factor in their decision making. They hadn't even had a Call of Duty on their devices in over 10 years and most current gen AAA titles were skipping the platform altogether. Lastly what business decisions have Sony made in the last few months? 🤔 They laid off 8% of their gaming division (900 people), which everyone else in the tech sector has also done, with most laying off more. MS for example laid off 9% (1,900 people) in their gaming division in January, and laid of 13,000 people from the entire corporation last year, including some from 343 and Bethesda. You can't really lay scrutiny at one corporation for an industry wide issue. They over expanded dramatically during the pandemic, and the tech sector didn't go in the way that many of them believed that it would.

“Yet the Nintendo Switch is the second best selling console of all time, only behind the PlayStation 2.” Actually, it’s the third. The Nintendo DS has sold 154.02 Million Units, less than a million away from the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo Switch sold 139.36 Million Units.

Don’t get me wrong I love my PS5, but it is nowhere near close to beating Nintendo and the Switch 😂

@M.sami12 2 месяца назад

You must be joking. In what world the switch is better than a PS5? I love nintendo but they are not on the same league here.

@Swag4Applez 2 месяца назад

@M.sami12 I think they meant in sales, since Switch is what? Top 3 best selling console? And it still has a very good chance to possibly beat the PS2

Nintendo is reluctant to behave in the manner of being cheap and affordable for their initial launch.

@@M.sami12 because when you play switch you feel you play nintendo game on ps5 you ask it is pc game or playstation game ?

@Telmarine55 2 месяца назад

He’s referring to sales. Switch has one of largest install bases in history at 141 million as of end Feb 2024. And unlike the PS2 and DS, the Switch install base is still growing. Considering Nintendo won’t launch a next-gen console until March 2025 at the earliest, that will likely mean that Switch will be sitting at around 151-152 million units by next year. That’s not very far from the PS2 record.

Just a friendly reminder to you gamers. When you buy a game online you dont own it outright. Buy the physical copy. Save yourself problems down the road

You are so right. Just having subscriptions to any content that you never own is ludicrous and is just a endless source of revenue for companies to get rich.

Stop spreading this misinformation: anywhere outside of degeneritistan, buying a digital game means you own it the same way you do for a physical game, that's in every laws, again except maybe in dumbistan

@shannoncrowley770 2 месяца назад

@@noahsmith1187 it only takes a flip of the switch. Or perhaps you break a term of service, they will just ban your account. Also I watched a video yesterday where someone DID have an issue, apparently a recent bug - They then resubmitted licensing and it locked them out of their entire library... There is a whole forum discussing it, just saying.

Personally feel that Nintendo is beating Sony at the "content is king" logo. Although not as powerful as the ps5, the stitch is portable, it has decent, presentable graphics, and it has a wider range of games that appeal to a wider range of demographics from kids to adults. Playstation feels like it is suffering the problem that the film industry suffers prioritizing high-quality visual photo-real graphics over substance (personally feel that photo-real games look ugly). Also rarley hear kids wanting a ps5 over a switch.

@arglebargle5531 2 месяца назад

...No, the PS3 was the worst time for PS ever. This doesn't even come close to that; as much as PS is facing headwinds, they're also massively benefiting from their entrenched status as the 3rd Party default platform.

@keijijohnson9754 2 месяца назад

At least at that time, they were able to bounce back within the next couple years by making meaningful changes to the PS3 by reducing the prices and introducing far more exclusives that made the PS3 worth buying. Stuff that Sony's just not doing at all with the PS5. @@arglebargle5531

@MrWoodthegreat 2 месяца назад

You haven’t done any research. Sony isn’t putting out any new exclusives, but they certainly will have new games releasing on their platform like Stealer Blade, a new IP, in April.
