THIS IS THE END

The memo is from 2012

Let the retail fall (let the retail fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At retail fall

Sony is partnering with MS to delegate their cloud services, that's all. Why the fuck would they want the features of their hardware to be controlled by another company while being so adamant on securing their own ecosystem right now? They don't. The MS partnership is there just to save money on non-important services.

I know it hurts bro. I already past that stage

Who the fuck cares about physical games?

Retail is dead

Sony does, which is why one of the first things they confirmed about the next console was that it will use physical games

The writing has been on the wall since 2012
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaikai

I'm aware of PS Now for years now, it's a non essential service as fucking nobody uses it

>The writing has been on the wall since 2012
PS Now has a confirmed userbase of just over 700k subscribers
PS4 has almost 100 million consoles sold
Sony will continue to rely on physical media for many years to come

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Now
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Game_Pass

The happening will be televised

GamePass isn't a streaming service, it's download only
PlayStation Now actually added the feature to download games, because no one wanted to stream games

The harder the denial the bigger the tears. They want to kill retail and they'll do it sooner or later.

killing physical media would directly affect the rest of Sony's hardware departments
they have shown no sign of any internal change or downsizing on their hardware development
physical media is not going anywhere

>cutting off profit from third world countries just to chase a cloud meme
Even based Spence said that the cloud is intended to supplement the current model. Not substitute it.

Sony's hardware department is now AMD's job. The downsizing already began this gen

Imagine believing anything Phil says

This, 90%+ gamers are not falling for the new world order agenda of eliminating ownership of products while trying to force continual payment of it

I believe him. You'd also be crazy to be Sony or Microsoft and just sever your profits like that. Most of their markets barely have internet. It makes 0 business sense and you can't prove me wrong.

It already happened

Not even close. Are you retarded?

>socialize the cost
>privatize the profit

It's all in the numbers. If the subscription model brings as much profit with less customers and is more cost effective too, it makes perfect business sense. It's not happening this upcoming gen but with 5G around the corner, next gen may be a very different story.

Does Steam provide physical copies?

Are you paying a subscription on Steam?

Are you getting physical copies with Steam? It already started.

I think you overestimate how ubiquitous usable internet is. The cloud would literally wipe whole continents worth of customers away (For better or worse). The numbers just aren't there and won't be for decades.

I think you underestimate the contempt publishers have for piracy and manufacturers have for development cost. Sony and Microsoft is both of them.

Internet speeds are still slow as fuck in a lot of places in the US and how long have we had internet as a civilization? You can do the math. Also money is money, I'm telling you that a handful of rich people living in countries with good internet won't even come close to recouping lost profits from territories that are completely excluded from the cloud meme.

The console market is at around 200 million consoles. Make it half that and let's say Sony charges $30 for a full year. That's 3 billions right there. 3 billions with no console nor the cost that comes with it. Sony can just keep building it's infrastructure instead of developing a console. That math cannot lie.

Nigger you can't be serious

>He thinks Google Stadia will go anywhere
Yeah, just like VR is gonna take over right?

>3D
>VR
>The Cloud
>Subscription Gaming
