Even with that as a possibility PC is not bringing anything to the table that will boost it above a new console launch.

The idea I think is that in 8 years everyone will have access to whatever a Switch 3 is. Whether its cloud, PC, phone, TV, other consoles. They can try to sell you what you already own and hope you buy it again. Or just broaden and sell to everyone on what they have. That also becomes more attractive for a family friendly company that wants to get low cost consumers if console manufacturing keeps increasing in cost. Just skip the expensive part.

Cloud isn't becoming relevant anytime soon, and that will replace the need of a PC if it were to ever gain traction.

I dont know why you fixate on PC. Itll just be an app. Run it locally on what you have or stream it. Locally includes PC, console, handheld, phone.

His 2024 perdictions were, and I'm being kind here, shabby. The most probable things he predicts is common knowledge for anyone who can read the writings on the wall written in 72 Arial.

Focusing on PC because Jason thinks it's going to do big things this year. That's what my original comment was about.

Jason will be fine with it. They will gift him with another handheld PC to occupy himself with along with juice box outside the bedroom door.

Aight time to remove gta 6 from my wishlist this year.
Exactly, losing a sale with 100% revenue on PSN to only have 70% on STEAM, is less money better for Sony?
All single player games will be at least exclusive for a period of time to ensure that Sony sells all possible copies on the PlayStation where they have 100% of the revenue.
And it doesn't stop there, for Sony it is better to sell a game with a 30% discount on PSN than at full price on STEAM.
They have already stated at least 5 times that Single Player will continue with an exclusivity period and after sales stopped on the Playstation they received a Port for PC, exactly dissuading those who buy at launch from using STEAM and cutting 30% of the game's revenue for Sony.
But I'm tired of it, it's exactly the same rhetoric as "day one on the subscription service"... Which "Sony too" would do despite Sony having denied it countless times.
I can't wait for MS to stop manufacturing the Xbox and these "Sony too" opinions will stop.
They have already decreased significantly with the end of the "xbox ambassadors" program

It will be a forever game. A MMO. A highly detailed giant world to play online and buy shark cards for 20 years. They have to prep all of it and 3 years of updates for the content rollout

MS will eventually peace out of the console business.. without direct competion is easy for sony to go day one on pc ... nintendo will never have the hardware for beying third party for sony ... so sony without real exclusives is the easiest prediction ever if you consider Playstation as the only "high end" home console + all games being released on pc at some time

Yeah, you are probably right about all that. I just don't see it as a viable prediction to come true in the next 12 months. I guess we could see some progress in that direction though.

Oh yes.. not in the next twelve months but that dufos can always say "well its coming just you wait" eventually he will be right

Sony won't let a Lego game launch on Xbox, and won't let Astrobot devs mention the name Nintendo during a speech, but yes, they'll definitely bring all their games day 1 to Xbox in 2025 . . .

I'd say he was maybe 1/5 right with his 2024 predictions.
As for 2025's predictions, they're shit.
Ubisoft will under go a transformation? No shit Sherlock. They're stock has plummeted and no video game on the horizon will save them. They either close, go private or get acquired.
"The industry will rebound because of PC gaming." What does this even mean? The only part of the industry that is failing is AAA modern audience slop. Plenty of other games were amazingly successful. Palworld. Balatro. Black Myth Wukong. Erdtree. Metaphor. Just because a few select titles shit the bed, deservedly, doesn't mean the industry is in a slump.
Exclusives have been slowly going away. Microsoft has almost fully gone 3rd party and Sony has started to embrace PC more. It's not entirely a prediction if you just extrapolate the already established trend.
"AI will have it's icarus moment." I think this is just wishful thinking for industry people afraid of losing their jobs. The fact is with how expensive and time consuming it is to develop games, AI is needed. Not only to speed up production, but to cut some bloat in studios. Games don't need 8 year dev cycles and 300 million dollar budgets.
Halflife 3: Something half life related was teased recently right? Not that big of a prediction if true.
GTA 6 delay: Super ambitious, large, actual AAAA title getting a delay is the safest of predictions.
Silksong 2025 release: A game announced close to 6 years ago releasing sometime in it's 7th year of development isn't that crazy of a prediction either.

Interested in what he means by AI having its Icarus moment. Is he referring to potential backlash against AI, or maybe companies regretting using AI in some of their products?

Good predictions. I have always thought if someone bought gameloft infused them with 1b in funding for Nintendo software clones. What would happen?

My 2025 predictions:
Sony starts funding AA games based on old ips to appeal to its core audience.
Nintendo switch 2 lives or dies depending on its advertising to casual gamers.
Msft does its convergence between windows & Xbox os. Then either buys Ea or T2.
