Microsoft’s multi generation demolition of the Playstation is truly breathtaking.

Sony essentially failed to learn the lesson that destroyed Sega: You must be in America, but not OF America. Japan fights with brains, America fights with money.

One of the most basic principles of warfare is to not allow your opponent to dictate the terms of the battle. Nintendo has avoided this trap. But the power, price and release date of the Playstation is always defined EXPLICITLY IN RELATION TO the XBox.

Playstation was very successful in America, this caused them to continually shift their weight out of their traditional homebase of Japan into the US. Microsoft then began a multigenerational plan to destroy Playstation.

Microsoft, by forcing Sony to respond point for point with the Xbox, gradually forced Sony to price themselves out of the market of the average Japanese consumer. Japanese kids all have Switches, a rare few have PS5s. In the end, Sony is entirely on Microsoft’s territory, and Microsoft bought the entire relevant third party industry.

In the language of warfare, Microsoft lured Sony onto their own territory, let them lose Japan, and then cut the ground out from underneath them.

Sony is entirely reliant on its enemy for survival now. They have no hope of being relevant again in Japan. They pump out a few games a year, and they have a vague plan to sell these games to PC gamers who want to pay 500$ to play them a few months early? Lolololol

Full spectrum domination from Microsoft. Sony is truly doomed.
Ok, now tell us what you really think.

I get what youre saying, the 360 absolutely humbled ps3 in every aspect for years, But that role immediately got reversed with xbox one, and ps5 was essentially xbox’s final nail in the coffin

The only good gens xbox had were their first two

This the new shill line, let me guess MSs next great step is to support playstation by releasing all their first party content.

Totally not because MS has completely dropped the ball, no, they are fed up of hammering Sony in every metric available and are doing it out of pity.

Nah, if Sony drops a banger (affordable and kid friendly) handheld, and made it a dumpster for last gen ports, it would win back hearts of the homeland pretty easy, imo.

I think what OP is trying to say here is that Sony lost their identity in their competition against MS, by focusing more and more on western trends and markets and forgetting about Japanese titles that they were known for back during the PS1 and PS2 days and even through the PS3 too.

Had OP worded the thread differently it might have had more merit, but as it is it's hilarious.
