Nintendo showed a new Mario Kart. A new game is a new game.
Just pray for Sony not using TLOUSpart2 Remastered on PS6 showcase.

The living room is dead man. Consoles don't make sense anymore. Sony just needs to pack it up and start learning Steamworks. They will make a killing, and the margins are going to be so much higher. Company can use the extra float to find a better opportunity cost proposition. APU technology means there's never been a better time to bring VAIO back. Integrate a Sony skinned Steam or something and now you're cooking. They can even continue making controllers.

We just need an updated PS2 with DualSense that never goes away.
A standardized "video game canvas" with built-in limitations that make game development challenging.
What studio A did with the canvas could be directly compared to what studio B did with this same canvas decades later, providing a true competition on a perfectly level playing field.
Great PS2 games all come with great stories about overcoming obstacles and 'making things work'. Removing the constraint from game development was a mistake.
Doing more with less (money/time) on a stable persistent platform will allow studios to take bigger risks and make better games.

Not yet, they don't. There's nothing wrong with the hardware. It's the lack of software that's the issue. This generation still barely feels like it has started due to the how few games they currently have. The live service obsession has murdered this generation's game output.

For what? Most games released today look like the PS4pro could run them…
More good games need to be released. We are in dire need.

Sony just released the ps5 pro. You aren’t seeing ps6 until 2027-28. MS is the one who should release holiday 2026. Make one powerful console and have all yours devs target it and pc.

PS5 should've been the cutoff point for a new continuous "PlayStation" generation.
PS should've baked updated PS2/PS1 HW into the PS5 and made it 100% digital only for new x86 and PS2/1 games with full PS2/1 disc BC.
Instead of PS5 it would just be "PlayStation", a triple platform console that's x86, PS2(upgraded EE+GS) and PS1 HW(upgraded).
All three platforms would stay constant and the focus would be on dropping the price of the console with time as opposed to improving its specs.
Games across all 3 platforms and the DualSense controller HW would continue to evolve.

I would prefer to just keep this generation going until we have lots of games that are hitting the ceiling of what's possible. Every generation, there are fewer and fewer studios that can afford to truly max-out the technical capabilities of the new consoles, and I'm not sure we've even really seen ONE game yet that I would describe that way.
Most of Sony's games have dual-launched on PS4/PS5, and usually their first party teams are the ones pushing the envelope the most. Spider-Man 2 looks good but I refuse to believe that it's the height of what the console is capable of...I want to wait and see what Rockstar/Naughty Dog can really do with this thing, when it's not held back by a cross-gun release.
Developer demand should dictate launch timing for new consoles...not the imaginary need for an 8 year cycle.

No I think they should expand this gen to 2028, We need more games especially first party games not new consoles.

We just started the gen this year finally leaving cross gen behind. Let’s see what the devs have learned for ue5 etc. we just had the PRO drop. The devs have gotten the idea that shooting for 60 is the goal. Let’s get some more games out first.

I think we need new first party games coming out from these companies over more powerful consoles that probably won’t be fully taken advantage of anyway hardware-wise and filled with even more remakes and remasters from last generation.

Nah, we need a time machine so I can go relive the end of the PS2/Xbox era and start the PS3/360 era all over again with a memory wipe.
Best gen by far back to back.

Yeah after PS5 being so hard to get those first two years plus still getting some crossgen stuff, I think should get a year or 2 more than usual. I mean fuck they haven’t even dropped the price of the standard/slim ps5. Probably more people playing last gen consoles more so than any generation except maybe the NES in the early 90’s.

That's kind of irrelevant to my point though. Adopt PC or not. Console gens died a long time ago.

It's strange I feel like this generation has barely gotten started. We're entering the 5th year, but it feels more like year 3. It's been a stilted generation for sure.

I didnt talk about revenue
I talked about the number of consoles sold
So Nintendo punched Sony and M$ in this department in their faces

Release a proper low powered PS5 Mini that doesn't look terrible and I'll buy one. PS6, no thank you, gimmie some games!

No you didn't. You simply said "sales numbers" without saying anything specific.
Even then, which do you think matters more for a company? Revenue or hardware sales?

To your point, I would assume revenues trump sales, profits trump revenues, and return on investment trumps straight profits. To his, Nintendo could be leading in profits or return on investment (or not, I have no idea), but that would only be compared to the gaming divisions of MS and PS, which are just limbs of massive tech companies.
Nintendo is doing ridiculously well given its size and specialization, and the Switch could end up becoming the best selling dedicated gaming device of all time, but the original hot take was reductive the point that it wouldn't really mean anything even if it were accurate.
