But they've spent the last couple years completely pissing off the "niche, hardcore" market.

Compared to mobile, yes.

For Sony hardcore means over the shoulder cinematic experiences.

"Hardcore" means call of duty and monster hunter, not shmups and big boobs.

yes, Sony is launching their own PC store as an answer to Microsoft's plan for their next console to just be something like a Steam Machine but for the Windows Store (that's why they've been porting everything to it).

Sony didn't ported shit, they just gave greenlights to Annapurna and Quantic Dream.

Garuntee they are only saying this because its stupid expensive.

fake, seeing as they censor every game with a girl

Of course it'll be niche, everyone will have been censored off the platform.

Sony won this gen and next gen as well. The seething is real, just look at how the same nint*ntards resort to buzzword Yea Forums memes like "muh censorship" and "muh movie game"

How is that even possible?

So hardcore means censored now.

Reminder that in videogame sales analysis and such, the demographic designated as "hard-core gamers" is the group of people that plays blockbuster games like Call of Duty and FIFA.
People playing actual niche games don't even count because anything lower than 5 million sales might as well be nothing.

Reminder that this article isn't real.

>80% chance I'm gay.

I knew those feminine penises would catch up to me one day.

So are they going for a 2nd consecutive gen of not making any fun multiplayer games but charging people for online?

talk, like cock, is cheap

I don't think Sony understands what niche or hardcore means. They are just referring to their usual cinematic and AAA shit. They've been doing everything they can to ditch the AA and Japanese markets.

So they consider people that just support the LGBT part of it? Kinda weird, definitely not how fags and normal people see it

what exactly does sony mean with “hardcore”? for now i always thought that it meant people who take games very seriously, as in a serious hobbyist or something like that.

It's a fake article. What Sony actually said is that males make up 80% of home users.

Are you Thick? He's telling you peasants what you want to hear to sell you his product. dumbass

causal gaming has gotten so low that playing normal games, normally, for a few hours after work is considered hardcore

>nintendo and xbox shits unironically resorting to creating fake articles because they have no argument against Sony's absolute winning

Embarrassing, really

so when they say “hardcore,” its just the casual audience, but “leveled up”? i personally dont care what platform you play on, just make good exclusives on it. doubly so for consoles, as how the fuck do you even justify playing multiplats on those if you already have a pc.

>"niche"
>when sony is literally anti-japan now

>censored all pedo games for western market
are you guys ever going to stop crying over mundane changes

no no, they just say hardcore

that's the trick, it's like making a toyota camry but marketing it like it's a sports car

sounds more like marketing bs to justify buying a console once again. the circle never ends. at the very least microsoft is starting to understand this, which is why its hard to see actual xbox exclusives now.

I never understood buying a console. Sure, I get it if say you're buying a gaming system for your 10 year old. You obviously don't want to buy them a laptop or desktop they're likely to destroy in no time. But, why? Why would an adult buy a console?

It's cheaper if you only play used singleplayer games that you got for a decent price, plus you actually own your games instead of waking up to find that you're no longer "authorized" to play them for whatever reason.

it makes sense really

if you weren't a pedo, you wouldn't even think of children as being sexualized unless they're literally having sex. But you don't want to admit it, and you get mad.

as much as i agree with this, consoles are worth it if you can justify the library of exclusives, but that has almost never been the case. otherwise theres no sense in buying one at all. that said the last one i owned was a ps2. borrowed one from a friend to play bloodborne, and thats about it.

That's not based. This is based.

To Wall Street investors the people who buy a console ARE a niche hardcore audience compared to smartphone casual "gamers" who are just downloading a free app and playing microtransaction-laden gambling simulators like bejeweled or candy crush (in america) or the gacha phone games (in japan)
The businessmen don't care what the video games on the console are. The console itself proves you're a HARDCORE gamer because a casual gamer doesn't spend hundreds of dollars on a child's toy, corporate curated garden.

0.76%.

that sounds great

imagine the PS4 being the multimedia console, for the normies to watch movies and play indie games, and the PS5 is for people who want to play 120 fps exclusives.

I bet all the SJW game journalists are going to cry about being excluded.

You genuinely sound like a pedophile user. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you.

It's just damage control.

This is dumb. One can easily tell whats sexualised and whats not. You dont need to be a pedo to tell obvious depictions of children being sexualised.

>s-stop talking about pedos
You sound like a pedo my dude.

look at that man's face. he is so in it for the money; the CASH, babby

what he means by "niche" and "hardcore players" are people who are into cinematic games like today's PS4 games. THESE people think they are NICHE and HARDCORE, so sony is now calling them exactly that

if you want to actually do the right thing, you will leave sony altogether instead of sitting around, feeling sorry for yourselves, supporting them, just WAITING and HOPING sony will turn back to the way it was tip: they won't

You're not even a blip on their radar you delusion retard. Incels are like 1% of the market, probably less than trannies.

this but literally and unironically. The full acronym is, LGBTQQIP2SAA. One of those A stands for "allies". Anyone who supports LGBTQQIP2SAA in any way (including simply not hating them or making them feel uncomfortable or marginalized) is themselves a LGBTQQIP2SAA. I learned that from playing FFXIV

but you can pirate them and store them in a hard drive somewhere? or if you really want to be anal about it, buy it on gog and burn it on a disc.

Look at ResetEra, they say they hate pedos, but found out their Discord server are full of pedos, staff included.

Sony is probably doing the same exact shit.

I think you're exaggerating a bit. I've been on Steam for years, I've NEVER had a game I suddenly couldn't play.

>"Hardcore" to me means all the faggot dudebros who play nothing but the latest AAA title games.
No, hardcore was a term coined during the Wii era when we were being murdered by shovelware, a faggot named Malstrom who unironically believed the entire industry should be casualized shovelware platformers made by him sullied the word 'hardcore' on this board and made it seem evil, you were obviously one of the people he brainraped. Hope you play casual shovelware turds for all eternity in hell you faggot. You are ashamed of your own hobby, being hardcore is not bragging.

Sony could have been known as "hardcore" when Nintendo was shitting on us for casuals during the Wii era, then they could have properly researched the term to know it's people who don't like movie games and like anime tiddies, but because Yea Forums refused to support Sony and accept that they were hardcore, now Sony thinks "hardcore" means LGBT faggot trannies. Hardcores were vilified by Malstrom during the Wii era here because he didn't want Nintendo to pass Quality Control checks on his shitty shovelware games being puked on the Wii, he hated hardcore gamers for that reason.

That's literally what I said you cum gargling retard.

Sure, let me trust the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation that's lied, cheated, stole, and, as a company, is almost as corrupt as Microsoft.

Gee what a shame. These """""games""""" will be missed.

that is not dudebro,
dudebros play only a handful of franchises, play them endlessly for months until the next installment after a year, always purchase digital copies, and most of them are multiplayer only and focus on microtransactions
CoD, Battlefield, Madden, Fifa, Apex Legend are dudebro
Sony is referring to the group of people who buy multiple, full priced retail copies of various titles every single month, but never spend money on microtransactions or stick around in multiplayer games. could be AAA/AA or indie
a hardcore audience for PlayStation are those that pay attention to the PS blog and know what all releases that week, dudebro audience only knows Madden starts in Fall and CoD is the weeks around Halloween

niche is just another way of saying "won't sell well"

What do they mean by “niche” and “hardcore”? Do they mean games by big companies that are more difficult than average like Viewtiful Joe and Dark Souls? Do they mean games that are primarily popular with enthusiasts like Drakengard or Killer 7? Do they mean even more obscure titles like Pathalogic or Blood Will Tell? Or do they mean triple A Ubisoft games that don’t sell CoD numbers and shitty modern naughty dog walking sim movie games?

If by hardcore you mean soi boi cucks who cannot handle a belly button on a teenage girl then yes that would be correct. If by hardcore they mean film enthusiasts who like a good movie then that would be correct. For everyone else its literally the most casual of all platforms.

you're just putting words in his mouth so he can get distracted from the actual topic, you naughty boy ;)

lmfao imagine trying to push all the blame on Nintendo when it's been Sony casualizing the fuck out of everything the past 6 years with their onegoodgamebox the fourth.

So it's going to be very expensive.

This is a euphemism for it costing over $1400

Facts > feefees.

I've always seen gamers as fitting into one of a few categories:

>Hard Core
Plays games from several different genres. Often playing for hours each day. Selects hard or "survival" mode instead of easy or normal. Plays the games to completion.

>Casuals
Might buy two or three games per year. Maybe will play one game as their "main." Plays a couple of hours here and there mostly on the weekends.

>Pop Culture Gamers
Only plays the latest popular shooter and sports games. Doesn't really understand the gaming community or the fact that games other than Call of Duty and Madden actually exist.

Casual consumers love to consider themselves hardcore. Pretty much the only people who openly refer to themselves as hardcore gamers are the people who buy games like Assasins Creed. You’ll never catch someone who plays something like dodonpachi or guilty gear calling themself a hardcore gamer.

It's either this
or this
and they're calling their new cinematic, socially progressive audience "hardcore"

WHICH IS IT REALLY?

Very good point. Thanks user!

Good to see them changing for the better. If they make it through next June without pandering to child rapists I'll buy it.

dude looks like Jiro Kawara from Kiwami 2, (detective guy, not Date).

>No, hardcore was a term coined during the Wii era
No it was a term coined in the 7th gen by gamers who played FIFA/COD/Madden. They called themselves "core gamers". I was here, I lived it. It has nothing to do with the shovelware nightmare the PS2 ushered in

filthy casual is now a mainstream meem. Not sure if this really is strategy but as long as they keep handing over their exclusives to the PC, idgaf what they do.

Yea Forums is the most hardcore community on the internet and abandoned Sony, there were basically 0 Puppeteer threads here, meanin while Yea Forums spent years scrounging for shovelware on the Wii. Hardcores abandoned Sony for a casualized garbage console known as the Wii, so of course Sony would abandon them back. You guys should have been vocal and supported Sony as a hardcore videogame console during the early Wii era when the Wii had nogaems and shovelware. You guys were never vocal enough and gave all your support to a casualized console that was trying to kill you off, so Sony switched to SJW casuals and ignored you the way you ignored them.

tell sony SF that you dumb nip

My ass, it will be mainstream and aimed at casual players, just like the PS4 but even more so, they already said that they are going to make less niche games and focus on fewer but more AAA games.
It's just that casual players like to think they are "hardcore", it makes them feel elite and hip, for playing nothing but AAA titles, casuals don't know they are casuals, so they are just pandering to casuals by telling them the console they own is for the HARDCORE!
It's like dumbasses that watch nothing but hollywood blockbusters thinking they are refined, hip film buffs, it's laughable, AAA game players are just one step above your grandma playing Bejeweled or some other such thing on her phone.

$3000 PC? WTF you talking about? I have a mid tier laptop that runs 1080p at 60 FPS on high and ultra high settings.

Let's do some math.

>PC Version
Laptop/Budget Desktop: $600
Annual Subscriptions: $0
10 Games on Steam Sale: $70

>Console
System: $300
Annual Subscription: $60
10 Games on Xbox/PS Store: $500 (being generous and including the whooping 10% sale they have once in a while).

PC - $670
Console - $850

so, 699 US dollars?

Both. Now pay us 2000 US dollars, you are hardcore right? If you can't afford it get another job or two.

casual games will still be on PSN,
Sony is talking about how they specifically will spend their limited resources on funding and marketing on larger AAA core games
the idea is sound, games like Fortnite and Rocket League will always advertise themselves, especially with twitch streamers doing most of the work
and even if they tried, nothing can compete with those titles
more expensive games like Spider-Man or Horizon don't actually get a proportional amount of free advertising through influencers, so focusing on that get better returns on AAA titles, while casual games are completely unaffected

Read what Sony actually said. Sony is so fucking casual that they think Uncharted is hardcore and Niche.

By "a niche device" and "aimed at hardcore players" they mean that it will cost $1000+ at release due to its rumored specs.

They'll finally kill themselves with the PS5.

Either that, or they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. You can build a pretty damn nice system for around 800 bucks. There are a lot of extremely loyal Sony and MS fanboys here/there/every where who detest PC and will spread misinformation and outright lies to "defend" their console of choice.

There are apps and webpages you can go to, feed in your expectations and they'll spit out a parts list. You can buy from Newegg everything you need.

Play Station? More like Dilation Station.

No it wouldn't. They would still have the same level of AAA garbage exclusives while making the majority of consumers access them via streaming, meanwhile anyone interested in owning a console and their games would have to pay out the ass.

>Holy shit, why don't you just come out and tell us you're underaged
I'm 31 and was around for the hardcore gamer inception era of Madden/COD/FIFA started in the 7th gen. This was when these people unironically called coined the phrase and called themselves "core gamers". They play the games that are purchased the most. They play the games that are played the most. That is what corporations see as hardcore gamers.

This, also a excuse for what’ll inevitably be a rocky start for the consoles. 2/3rd of PS4 owners were late adopters. They won’t upgrade so soon.

Not the same user but at this price why not just get a good pc? Sure you will miss BloodBorne 2 electric bloodaloo but you can play with your ps4 controller on the computer.

Lmao, Sony’s idea of hardcore and niche is Skyrim.

‘Hardcore’ is investor speak for $800 AAA sportsball machine with no indies or tiddies.

Because consoles are cheaper and you don't have to worry about hardware/software incompatibilities as much.

4K is a meme

Apparently there's 4 categories used by corporations casual, softcore, core, and hardcore, lost the image. Playing COD/Sports games may technically fall under the "core" category, though they are misappropriating the term if they call themselves "hardcore", that should belong to super nerd weirdos like us and we need to take it back from those faggots.

Actually it means "willing to drop ~$1000 on a console" to them

>Muh anime tiddies
do you incels have a one track mind?

If there was a console that could do 240fps and allowed any peripherals you want, I'd play

Calling it "hardcore" because it can do 120fps is pretty retarded. There's no such thing as hardcore gameplay on a gamepad.

Except they're not cheaper. You're broke aren't you? Not very good with money?

>DURRRR BUT WHERES THE PORN???

meanwhile actual hardcore players play on pc and run games at 120+fps rofl

I fucking hate how Sony is acting and a large amount of the shit they put out and how awful they’re being with censorship right now.

But I also fucking hate that a PS5 is the only way I’ll play the next big Persona, Spider Man 2, and more than likely, Ape Escape.

Exactly. You don't hear much about the "exclusives" anymore because of the streaming services. It's just the fanboys who are technologically illiterate and either aren't aware of it, or have no idea how it works.

The human body doesn't even move above 1fps so I don't understand why people complain about models having 'choppy movement'.

This, these games literally dont sell anymore. Sales for these pedobait games arent even wanted in Japan cause all of them are playing gacha games now.

Besides, my experience with pc gaming is either shit works or it doesn't.

Well it would be "niche", and "hardcore" compared to the mobile market technically.

They're publicly announcing that they plan to target a ``niche'' market and sell fewer units?

The biggest market for console games are people who buy yearly sports games.

Lol. 8ch Yea Forums and RPG codex are far more hardcore. This Yea Forums is filled with casual shits.

If this is what they're doing I'm a little bit split.
I play games almost exclusively on PC but I feel like some loyalty needs to be shown against those who would stand staunchly against the Stadia plague. The fuck out of here with that.

Modding Skyrim is serious business though.

>I'm gunna have to pay $500 again for Bloodborne II

As much as I love Bloodborne, and I mean really genuinely love, there's no fuckin' way I'm buying another console. Not after this generation. If it wasn't for Bloodborne I would have sold my PS4. It's a trash system run by a bunch of retards. The amount of UI bugs that intrude into software is pathetic.

And don't fuckin' get me started on how they turn on automatic renewal with ANY purchase you make.

Hopefully that means more real games instead of interactive movies.

When Sony says "hardcore", they don't mean players that can execute actions with a lot of skill or strategy, they mean players that buy a lot of microtransactions and/or grind for hundreds of hours. If you think consumers are bled like pigs now, just wait until the next generation where unskippable ads become more prevalent and every other game has real world cash shops that don't have p2w items, but instead have consumables for tedious mechanics like durability that are shoehorned in so you have to grind forever or pay up just to maintain the status quo. RPG mechanics will be more prevalent just to sell you the same items with slightly higher stats, and crafting will become a core part of games but they'll consume more resources and have a random chance of failing. More games will rely on central servers so that developers can collect your information and force you to jump to the next game when they want because playing an old game for 10 years isn't making them money. Get ready to pay more and more money for less and less content with fewer and fewer consumer rights, and if you don't stay on the treadmill and dedicate your free time to staying up to date, you'll miss out on all the exclusive limited time content and get left in the dust.

Nah itll be $500 for some pro version and $400 for the base. Then again, it also depends greatly on the price point the next xbox is released at.

Still waiting for TLDR. So far from what I can tell Sony is really good at using buzz words and nothing else from their new console.

That's just code for saying that it will cost $700 on launch with censored games.

I thought it was supposed to be aimed for gays?

That's actually what they meant by hardcore user. Like straight sex for Sony would be considered casual, and then well, ya know the pride parade degenerate fetishes would be what counts as hardcore. So by claiming they pander to hardcore, they are implying they are catering to fags and trannies.

So what is there to be inconsistent about? You guys just thought players = video game players. That's your own misinterpretation. Sony was clearly talking about the guys who use their dicks as joy sticks.

sony doesn't even know what hardcore is. They always "think" "something is", but they do not understand anything. It's all marketing what they do. The console for losers.

If the specs are to be trusted than maybe they're telling people. not willing to pay double or more for their console. that they're too casual, thus enticing the fans with money to buy it with the "harcore" tag.

I don't believe Sony is truly willing to make that type of console because it would mean they would lose a lot of money because people who play niche hardcore titles (Souls games don't count) are a minority. PS5 will appeal to casuals like PS3 and 4.

Came to post this. In corporate speak that is exactly what that means.

Nice naive fallacy you have there.

While AMD is beating the shit out of Intel on the CPU side, they have a lucrative deal with Nvidia to keep GPU prices high.

But one of the reasons why the PS4 sold so well at the start was because it was $400 while the Xbone was $500.

Also, this. It means that only hardcore fanboys will buy it due to its high price tag. Most normies will just stick to the PS4. Notice how most information regarding the PS5 focuses on its backwards compatibility. They're gonna treat it as a better PS4 Pro.

Sony hates shekels. Stupid goys.

It just means that only the hardcore fanboys will buy it because it will be expensive.

Most likely due to the price.
PS5 will be expensive, and only hardcore gamers willing to part that much for their hobby.

what do you need better hardware for

>there were basically 0 Puppeteer threads here, meanin while Yea Forums spent years scrounging for shovelware on the Wii. Hardcores abandoned Sony for a casualized garbage console known as the Wii,

C'mon son, have you missed all of the wank Bloodborne has gotten from this board? And Puppeteer is the worst game you can use to say "Yea Forums doesn't care for hardcore games."

Open hardware like RISC V can't come soon enough.

>They're gonna treat it as a better PS4 Pro.

this is true. they're going to push cross gen games for at least 2-3 year. by that point ps5 will drop to $400. ps4 base model will be used for 720p30, pro for 1080p30 and ps5 for 4k60.

That 500m rumor for Halo was debunked. If the number came from anywhere it was probably counting all Halo products, including the show, the metric fuckton of novels that come out each year (IIRC like 5 came out last year), toys, Esports stuff, comics, etc.

It is
What you omitted is that this is the reason why high framerates create more fluid motion.

then buy ps5 dummy. what's wrong with having more options? it would be a smart move for sony because most of their profit comes from software sales (they made more money from selling games last year than in the whole ps2 gen) and if they lock new games on ps5, with slow hardware adoption (which is inevitable because of very high ps5 price like with ps3) they're going to take a huge financial hit. and if we talk about graphics they improve less and less with each new gen. ps5 will maybe bring some basic ray tracing effects, better resolution and framerate and that's it. open world games will be more detailed with increased view distance, but none of it will look like real "next gen" graphics. with ps5 you will literally be buying a more powerful PC.

Is this a marketing speak way of softening up the customer base to a $500+ price point? "Its hardcore bros"

if sony tries to compete with gaming pc's they're in for a massive shocker and their console will fucking bomb. no one and i mean literally no one in their right mind would spend ~$600 on a locked down console if they can buy a pc for the same price even if it's similar in performance. the whole appeal of consoles historically is they're always a cheap alternative for gaming, never a pc competitor. the ps2 was a cheap dvd player, ps3 blu ray player etc. look at every console in history which has sold for over $399 on launch. they've all bombed including the ps3 and xbox one till they got price cuts to $399 (both price cut under a year after launch). if they can make a $399 console which competes with the highest end pc's like the 360 did for a couple of years then good for them but price is everything and nobody wants a $600 niche hardcore console UNLESS they also offer a $399 alternative.

a $600 console will definitely outperform a $600 pc

>a $600 console will definitely outperform a $600 pc
no, it definitely wouldn't. the ps3 was the last $600 console and the graphics card was pure garbage like a low end pc equivalent. sony aren't going to give these $600 consoles away with massive losses after the last time they did that the ps3 nearly bankrupted them.
also the pc market has so much variety of both used and new parts the combinations that can be had at $600 are massive. consoles are only worth it under $400 because that's the point where even used pc parts (unless you get a really sick deal) are going to be shit and limit you to discernible console visuals with maybe 60 fps in a couple of games but mostly 30 fps. anything over $400 and you can build a better pc.

dumbfucks who buy consoles at launch

it doesn't matter now anyway even if these consoles are sold at a loss because GPU tech has accelerated so fast in the last 10 10-12 years since last gen consoles released that you will still be able to buy a pc whether its used or new parts for the same price which will perform the same or similar to the console. even MS and sony know this hence why they're focusing on other tech like SSD and RT. gone are the days when consoles provide really good price/perf on par with the best pc's like og xbox and xbox 360.

I may follow your example

Hardcore players don't want californian cersorship you fucking mummy

they are presenting conflicting claims now. last week/month it was made tranyfags and plebs and now its suddenly niche and hardcore.

Yeah, and all their other departments hemorrhage money outside of maybe their movie department now that Marvel is propping them up. Nobody wants to buy their 6000 dollar TVs that have only marginally better quality than the Gook counterparts.

and microsoft makes ~30 billion profit a quarter and even then are they only looking at cheaper studios. none of that money which bought those studios came from xbox division. they came from the big cash pot MS has at its disposal as a whole but they're not dumb enough to spend billions on these studios because that's not healthy business. sie aren't dumb enough to do that either and they make a 10th of what microsoft makes in a quarter, in a whole year.

And about 1/10 of Microsofts quarterly profits. Almost all of Sonys profits come from their gaming division while most of their other divisions are failures. Sony themselves have said that if Playstation failed they'd probably go bankrupt.

hardcore players just want games

The Xbone is ironically the first actually profitable console MS has had. It doesn't really matter since MS has enough money to operate for the next 30 years while making no money if they had to.

funny how people say that since the PS2

How delusional can you get, ofc they will cater to the hardcore dudebros that will buy anually game series while also spending micro transactions, that's wheres the moneys at. Nobody buys an even smaller niche games made by the japanese, they are pedophiles. Japan don't even buy their consoles anymore so they're doubling down on the dudebros and 'progressive' crowds that won't even buy the game

which doesn't mean shit because xbox isn't self sustained like SIE and playstation is. the OK for all these MS studio acquisitions came from the CEO himself. if xbox was self sustained they wouldn't have a penny to spend on even a shitty 10 man dev team indie studio.

>niche console for the hardcore mentally ill degenerates

If they'd moved their HQ to bumfuck Alabama or New York it would've yielded the same results you fucking idiot.
Mutt censorship is a nationwide thing. It's in your law. How retarded are you exactly?

And it's still true. Sony doesn't make shit from their other products. Nobody buys their TVs, nobody buys their multimedia devices, and most of their movies are absolute shit nobody watches. Sony is literally on a liferaft called the Playstation.

Based retard

No surprise there, the Xbone is dirt cheap hardware and they're raking it in with services. Even the 360 had modestly impressive hardware for the time, but unburdened by the kinect the xbone is very affordable

No user he is referring to playstation home the dead social network for ps3 that everyone forgot existed.

I'm willing to believe out of the 10 weridos playing this 80% are gay.

PS home is fun though, its like the early idea of VRchat

>he doesn't realize new californian sony policy from recent years censors games even in their japanese releases

Sony is so big it’s literally sued itself in multiple occasions
Apparently Sony Music sued Sony pictures for unauthorized uses of Sony Music.

>he doesn't realize new american* sony policy
Why do mutts pretend its isolated to one state when it obviously affects the entire country? Also I don't think this censorship is cali state law but nationwide law since you fags censor the crap out of everything.

Why bother?
Outside GTA Fifa has pushed even COD off the top seller list in replacement for Fifa 15-20

It's literally a marketing strategy to release a statement like that. Every monkey wants to be thought of as a "lol so hardkoar gaymur" so more idiots will buy one. It's also appealing first and foremost to early adopters, which generally are more "hardcore" gamers. Sony knows fell well the importance of the snowball effect. They also know that a statement like this will reverberate across the internet and get idiots talking, hence this thread.

PS4 is one of the highest selling consoles ever. All their consoles have sold extremely well, even with the PS3 hiccup, and PS2 is the highest selling console ever. PlayStation is as mainstream as it gets, duh.

On the top of bayonetta
Platinum went to Nintendo dead last because they were convinced either Sony or Mircosoft would jump on it 1st.

Neither did.

Funny enough a niche game like Bayonetta moved a fuck ton of WiiUs that’s basically why Nintendo is trying to make Platinum a second party dev

Its pretty clear its sony, the game's exclusive on ps4. If they port it to other systems she will have a different design that is much closer to the original

Tl;dr: Ps5 will be for hardcore progressive crowds and microtransaction whales, if you want to play fun kiddy games get other sysyems instead

this will run the majority of game on high/ultra 1080p 60fps. a 1060 and i5 would run pretty much everything

Alabama doesn’t have much to censor outside protect Jesus and the American flag at all costs.

>believing this
All the exclusive games ALL OF THEM were catering to the most casual clientel there is. Uncharted, Horizon, Days Gone, all of them.

How stupid do you have to be to believe this?

It's NINTENDO that funded Bayonetta, Astral Chain, No More Heroes, Fire Emblem before it became big and MADE it big instead of just doing something safe, and also who don't give a crud abotu politics.

How stupid are Sony fanboys?

I don't even like Nintendo, but how stupid are Sony fanboys?

Just how stupid are Sony fanboys?

How stupid?

>goes own to censor said niche games

hardcore as in hardcore gay porn

I mean, spending thousands on microtransactions and buying the same game every year is pretty hardcore

Credible leaker here, PS5 will be a PC with preinstalled Epic Games Store.

More reason to burn sony down the ground

Mutts always pretend it's not there/place the blame somewhere else.

What does that even mean? High end specs and high price point?

when cali government is giving you big tax cuts just to have your HQ there, of course youre going to conform to their standards

But these standards apply nationwide you cuck.

They mean trannies and women larping as gamers.

It'll do pseudo 8K though.

The best graphics are in AAA multiplats which look best on PC.

This entire console gen has been underwhelming as fuck.

>build pc
For what purpose? To watch console games on youtube?
PC is dead, irrelevant garbage.

It's bullshit.

It's all bullshit.

They need to make games accessible to appeal to large demographics, every decision is business motivated and they're trying to cash in on the hardcore crowd who actually buys video games. It's pretty slimy after all of the censorship that's been happening lately since their ethics department decided sex was bad.

In the last 20 years only the PS3 and 360 managed that when new, and only because they were stupidly expensive and still sold at a loss

The best looking game last year was Red Dead Redemption 2.
You know what the best looking games have in common? No pc port to gimp down the graphics as it did with Witcher 3.

user don't tell me that you think your console is more powerful than a high-end pc.

>PC is dead, irrelevant garbage.

Like the game industry.
When was the last time you really enjoyed a game? A game without DLC, session pass and all of those bullshit.
You keep playing games because you have nothing better to do in your life.

>No pc port to gimp down the graphics as it did with Witcher 3
Graphics were gimped down for consoles.

RDR2's actual graphics don't look that great. The textures are pretty low res and there's a lot of blur and filters in the game to mask inconsistencies. It's actually the lighting engine that makes it look absolutely gorgeous.

Ctrl+f "mobile" corroborated my interpretation that hardcore and niche means as opposed to mobile games. Am I right to feel like there may be an attempt to make it seem embarrassing even ?

>console aimed at 'hardcore players'
>most exclusives are simplistic cinematic experiences with braindead shallow gameplay
they're gonna push the hardcore gamer thing for marketing purposes to milk more money out of you fags

Sony basically dominated the console market this generation and will get too cocky with pulling off dumb bullshit, just like microsoft did after the 360 era

Nights of Azure isn't a PS4 exclusive. It never was. It launched on PS3 and Vita as well. And later got ported to Steam. Same with Atelier Sophie, Estival Versus, EDF 4.1, Journey etc.

Bottom row is just silly. 90% of those got ported to PC and some were even cancelled.
Not to mention that weeb games are getting simultaneously released on PC these days.
Supporting PoS4 was the biggest mistake of mine when it comes to this medium. It literally has only two good Japanese games on it. And they flopped and got their support cut short.

PC is the weeb machine now. Especially since Snoy started censoring them on their shitboxes.

I think I've cracked the code. Sony wants to conquer the mobile market as it's way more lucrative and requires way, way less efforts. They may even want to quit the console market. Don't get me wrong, they won't, they probably can't, but the way I see it, "niche and hardcore" is trying to shame us "you're not normal bro, just play mobile games wtf" and they'll probably set a very high price for the ps5 as a deterrent, and that would be the first step to force us into mobile games.

>PC is the weeb machine
Good. Pedo should stick with PC and Sitch.
No sane product manufacturer wants to be associated with those freaks.
