Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
I am an older gamer so my list goes back a ways. I am not afraid that I have been wrong and in some cases really wrong! Just some of my idiotic opinions and feel free to share your own!
I have an Atari, I don't want a Nintendo:. I remember being a little kid thinking this, I also remember asking for a Nintendo a year or two later.
Genesis don't stand a change against NIntendo: For a long while, Sega was holding it's own against the Snes. The Sega/Nintendo battles were so much fun! If Sega didn't go crazy with the 32x, sega cd, jumping ship early on the saturn, etc. Sega would still be a player today.
Sony don't know games, I am sticking with my N64: At times I loved my N64. Most of the times I was mad because Nintendo had massive droughts with no quality games with few 3rd party support. PSX won square over and quickly third parties flocked to SOny due to the cheaper and more flexible (memory wise) CD format. Nintendo were also Notorious to not be third party friendly in those times. Looking back, I wish I got the psx.
Dreamcast is the console of the future!: I bought a dreamcast at launch and it really was a huge evolution form the N64 and Playstation. The Dreamcast started strong while having A strong library to back it up. The Seganet online play combined with the web browser was innovative at the time Too little too late. Sega Burned consumers trust with abandoning the 32x, Sega CD, then the Saturn. EA also failed to support the dreamcast while the Massive Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube launched soon after. After a few years the Dreamcast was all but dead. Dreamcast was a very fun ride but too short!
Xbox Sucks, I'm sticking with the Gamecube! Kind of a similiar story to the N64. The Gamecube has some great Gems but Nintendo still suffered from massive droughts. The first few years of launch I was a primary Gamecube owner and watched most of the third party games go to the playstation 2/Xbox. Nintendo was seen as a toy by mass consumers while they went with a smaller mini disk that held less data than the standard DVD the other 2 had.
I don't want widescreen or HD: I remember hating that widescreen seemed to cut off the top of the picture. Living with Analog TV's your whole life then switching to a different shaped TV was a bit of a mind fuck. Finally getting an HD monitor then trying to go back is painful.
Xbox 360 was the Ultimate Console: With Xbox live in mind, I may have had more fun on my old 360 than any other console. With that said, the design of it was a pile of shit. Over the course of 7 years of having a 360 as my main console, I went through 5 consoles. I had a program at best buy where any time my 360 broke, I can bring it to them and exchange it(plus a $50 fee each time) for a new one. I had several variations of the 360 and suffered 3 RROD's, 1 E74 error, 1 drive problem. Finall scored a slim and that worked until I sold it. Great library, great online capability, shitty design.
SWITCH will fail : Like most of you I scoffed when Nintendo launched an under powered console. I thought no way am I buying that junk. I was sure it was dead in the water. Got a switch light over a year ago and love it
PS5/XSX: The graphics on these machines are going to be mind boggling! To be honest, I have been a bit underwhelmed with the graphics seen on my PS5. Ratchet and Clank being the exception but nothing looks like a big leap at all from the ps4/x1 era. Most games you are forced with a choice at either: 4k 30fps or 1080p60 while often time making the games look like a last gen title. The Matrix Demo is Impressive but doubt we will see anything on that level as a full game. It's a long generation so maybe after the ps4/x1 support stops and developers start making Native PS5/XSX games we will see a big leap.
