are people really arguing that Monster Hunter isn't insanely popular on PS5 because it has the most players on PC?

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
MS’s “handheld” we’ve seen UI images of is just a damn PC. Could have made this thread 2 years ago when Sony started releasing games there.
So confused why people don’t understand that most console gamers, get this, like consoles and they want to continue to play games…on consoles.
PlayStation is the premier console for their games as well as the majority of 3rd party games and that’s not going to change because MS licenses the Xbox logo to Asus to make handheld PCs.

Leaves Sony exactly where they have been. Sony's Steam games on handhelds have been around for quite a while now. Is something supposed to change because one of those handhelds suddenly has Xbox branding? Switch 2 still won't play the vast majority of games that are popular on PlayStation. So again....what has changed?

You mention Game Pass twice. If people want that sub service, it's been available since 2017. I find it remarkable that there are still people who don't understand that it's not an attractive service to many people. As for the rest of your post, Sony is for people who like playing on console, like Sony first-party, and enjoy their ecosystem or some combination of those. I realize that's basic common sense, but it seems it's needed here.

That's not the point. You made the following statements:
I'm just pointing out how your post isn't logical or grounded in reality in the first place.
What you're failing to realise is the fact that GAAS titles are more popular on PC. So unfortunately, based on your logic, the people who game on PC are also "idiots" who "pretend" they enjoy "poorly optimised GAAS slop".
Which begs the question, which platform(s) do you think all the non-idiot smart gamers reside on?
Nope, read above.
It sold the majority on PC.

That's a shit take my man. I have a PC and Pro so now I'm an idiot? You explain to me then what problem I have that I can't admit to?

You have a PC though. My point is I don't understand why someone would pick a ps5 pro over a PC.
I do think people are idiots if they don't have a PC and spend $700 on a console. that is my own personal belief though, doesn't mean it is the objective truth.

Sony is great if you're like me, someone who isn't interested in maintaining a PC rig but also wants access to modern games and VR, Portal too for that matter.
I own a Switch and have maybe used it for 2 hours, Astral Chain. I bought it for my wife but she rarely plays it either.
I stick with Sony because I like their hardware, dual sense, portal, PSVR2. I don't buy Sony first party games, outside of something like Ronin. Internal Sony studios don't interest me and they don't offer much these days.
Sony isn't going anywhere but I'm curious how long their first party strategy will hold out. How much money are they making off these tentpeople pole releases? How much patience do people have? There are clearly more PS5s in homes that didn't buy these first party games than there are PS5s whose owners bought those first party titles.
My hope is that Sony Studios decline and 3rd party sales remain solid. Gives Sony time to change leadership and have their studios make games that aren't catered to people who binge Netflix series on the side.

Choices are an interesting concept, aren't they? I don't buy games at full price and other people don't have to either.

People who buy the Pro are seeking the "very best" graphic experience with all the conviences of a console.

I have a bit of trouble getting most modern games to "click" with me. I think it is honestly more of a me problem than anything, but there are very few titles that that come out nowadays that really excite me.
it isn't really a matter of me needing to find indie games. indie games are great and all, but for some reason I've found myself drawn to older PS/xbox games lately.
edit: My pc isn't powerful enough to emulate PS3 games I don't think, so I tend to game on OG hardware

It isn't a choice for Nintendo games. They don't drop the price of their games and they just re-released a 14 years old Wii game for $60.

That's nice. We're talking about Sony here. It's in the title of the post.

The reasons people want consoles over PC are well-documented. If they want to spend a couple hundred dollars more for a better experience then does not make them an idiot.

You're not answering my question.
Let me ask it in a different way:
Why did you spend in excess of $500 on an Xbox Series X + peripherals instead of getting a PC?
Astray

Not if they try and merge the platforms ala Switch.
Completely pointless to have 2 separate software SKU lines imo.

I'm interested in what they got (and what Sony got).
Nintendo has gotten far more arrogant than Sony or Xbox ever were.

Because they prefer a controller interface. Or the aren't familiar with PC UI. Or they are familiar but they don't like it. Or they don't want to deal with the hassle of inflated PC parts and just want to buy something that has everything in the box. Or they don't want to deal with the used PC parts market in order to get something decent for cheaper. Or they want to access comfy couch gameplay the easier way. Or they have more friends that play on PS than on PC. Or a lot of other valid reasons.

That's an option too.
The only difference is that Playstation doesn't have a dedicated handheld installbase.

Quit the bullshit.
And no, it doesn't answer my question. So I'll ask again:
Why did you spend $500+ on an Xbox Series X instead of putting that money towards a new PC or upgrading your old (your words) PC?

It's Sony Doomed O'Clock Again?
Sony fits totally fine, it will be a basic GTA 6 machine for years to come. Not even counting in Death Stranding 2 and Yotei.

It's clear that you have one. But clearly not one that's capable of playing modern titles to an adequate level. If not you wouldn't be playing those games on an Xbox Series X.
So again, why didn't you put the money you spent on your Xbox Series X towards your current PC or a new PC? Didn't you have a certain choice of words for people who do the very thing that you did?

Looks like it's only a problem when the "idiots" buy Sony consoles instead of playing on PC.

That's why I think it would be wiser for Sony to focus on what they're doing with Portal.

People will type this shit outta like ghost of yotei and ds2 aren't going to do numbers. They will fuck around and have a big sale around switch 2 launch. And god help you all if they have a gta6 bundle. That earnings report will look so crazy they will build a statue of Herman hulst that will have all of neogaf sick.

you're losing your mind because I insulted your precious Sony. take a deep breath brother.
I said in my first post that people who want the very best graphics are idiots for spending $700 instead of getting a PC.
I also said I play primarily retro games and never owned an xbox. how does it not make sense why I would buy an xbox?
also you make it sound like my PC is a 90s calculator or something. my laptop can even play them at an adequate level. my laptop is a Zephyrus g16 which is slightly slower than my PC, both of which are plenty fast for the sort of games I clearly said I play, which are older titles.
but fuck dude, my g16 can play brand spanking new titles and they still look great
edit: it's fucking hilarious that you are looking back through 4 years of my posts to make your point though lol. this is sad dude, you are better than this
edit2: holy fuck you have 44 THOUSAND posts, I was wondering how you have the time to go back years of my posts...

Imagine to even think that Sony (the only high-end console on market that matters) is in some kind of trouble in the year:
- With two AAA SP exclusive games and both esteemed PS4 franchises
- With MS basically porting all of their core games to PS5 with great pre-orders (Indiana is just around the corner)
- With GTA VI firmly looming over the second half of the year
Where does Sony fit in todays landscape??? Really?

It is kind of bizarre. Nintendo just dropped a truckload of information about what is coming for Nintendo fans so......let's talk about Sony?
