PS5 = weeb games and Call of the Doody.  

 

It's not surprising Playstation is failing.  

 

It just needs to be available, it's library suggests it's not failing.

 

That's like saying the Xbox is just racing games and shooters for part time gamers.

Will there be an update here every time Xbox has one week where they sell more consoles than PlayStation does with several months of silence when Xbox sells less?

All the data comes from the platform "vgchartz.com".

Again Xbox sells more than PS5 as per standing of 18th June 2022.

 

This is what you are going on about "They have to come up with something"?

 

Quote

The Xbox Series X|S sold 142,375 (more) units to bring their lifetime sales to 15.23 million units. The PlayStation 5 sold an estimated 126,870 (more) units to bring its lifetime sales to 20.46 million units.

 

The PS5 has only sold 133% the number of Series X|S consoles? They're only up 5 million consoles sold?

As long as this remains to be the containment thread for this nonsense.

I don't know why people care about console sales numbers, do the fans get something when their console "wins"?

Since I'm here though and just because I happened to read this news the other day, the PS5 is now less than 100,000 units over the Xbox Series console in sales for the US.

Supposedly the PS5 sales numbers are so low in asia that many people have said that places like Japan will just stop developing games for Sony systems.

 

When persona was announced to be going multiplatform quite a few comments said this was the final nail in the coffin for the PS5 and sony is irrelevant in the Japanese gaming space. So they're predicting that with no Japanese exclusives that won't go to PC and that Microsoft owns Call of Duty, that the system is sony's last.

 

I don't know how much of this is true or not.

lol "supposedly".  Who are these many people? Are they kids on 2Chan? Are they publishers or devs in Japan? 
Rhetorical questions. 
The amount of illogical fear some of you put out is astonishing.

It's been mostly compared to how well the Switch is doing and that game publishers and developers don't think of the audience outside their own national region. So for example if Japanese people buy the game only, the foreign sales don't matter. That seems to be the though process behind it.

 

The article comments you can read on sites like Gematsu seem to reinforce this idea every time a sales thread comes up.

Dude there a ton of Japanese dev's saying it. I can't site the originals. As there Japanese sites. But you can just see the influx of Japanese games on steam and other PC sites. Heck a few devs like the Studio that made Omega Labyrinth. Sayed do to sony change it standards on a wim. They plan to make all games for PC 1st do to it  Sony is been killing it roots after Ryan took over. And if they don't fix it. They will paint themself into a corner.

So if Jim Ryan is the problem who would they theoretically want to replace him with?

Humm... maybe Hidetaka Miyazaki

He's well known. Done tons of stuff from. Worked well with many different teams and companies. And has lead fromsoft form a small company to what it is now. Also he doesn't seem the type to sacrifices a game identity for money.

All this means is that we'll continue to see cross-gen releases for most Japanese games for the next few years. They'll release on PS4/PS5 much like how many Japanese games were PS3/PS4 back when the PS4 launched because PS3 still had a large install base and hardly anyone there had PS4's.

Anyone saying Japanese devs will abandon PS are morons. They'll only go Xbox if MS decide to money hat which they won't even do like back during the 360 days. At best MS will bribe with some GamePass money but it will remain multiplat. Sure games can go Switch/PC exclusive but that has already been happening during the PS4 and what's usually more often the case than not it ends up getting ported to PS a year or two after. PS brand recognition is still too big in Japan. MAYBE by the time PS6 drops Japan could heavily shift away from the brand but the industry as a whole will probably be vastly different by then with the rise of subscription game library services, the looming "threat" of cloud gaming and the PS VR2 dropping.

This is exactly why they won't hire him.

 

Edit: Xbox Series has hit 200,000 units in Japan. It has doubled the lifetime Xbox One Japanese unit sales of 100,000.
