45% of Playstation fans considering switching to PC gaming

[Checkbuzz]

Already have. It seems to have been forever since good AAA games on PS anyway. The new stuff with woke social engineering doesn't do it for my family.

Xbox not doing much better. This is the end of an era of console gaming. All this new stuff is nothing more than a desperate claw at whatever of left of a dying market.

Lmao! Woke social engineering! Proper tinfoil hat comment that. Look out for the wokes, they're coming to get you! 🤣

I assume you want games to be socially engineered to your own preferences? Christian Nationalism perhaps? Or maybe fascism? You seem to be singing from their songbook.

All you have to do is look at Take Two' one of the biggest publishers in the industry. They are not fans of PR, because games don't sell as well. In all honesty, about 0.1% of the entire player base is actually upset over a decision PC made in the 2000's when PC gaming almost died entirely....

The decision to move to PC is not "puzzling" if you have actually thought about what you gain. Except for collectors, the issue here isn't really about the discs at all.

PC is an open platform where multiple game vendors compete. GOG sells mostly DRM-free games with the option to download an offline installer, meaning that you can quite literally keep and play your games forever. Steam doesn't have that, but it does have a huge library of games going back a couple decades, almost every one of which is still available today.

Contrast that with all-digital PlayStation 6. This is a tiny walled garden. It will certainly not have meaningful backwards compatibility with any games before the PS4 era. It will also have no backwards compatibility with PS4 and PS5 disc games. It is a completely closed platform and a completely vertical distribution system in which the hardware vendor controls 100% of software availability and software pricing at all times.

It's no surprise. Sony, along with a good chunk of movie producers and game developers, have forgotten the golden rule of supply and demand - the customer is always right!
Because they have a world wide market now they think they can dictate to their customers instead, what those customers want and what they get.
  Too greedy! They will not be the first big company to go belly up and I dare say not the last either. There js a limit to what people will put up with.

I refuse to buy Playstation 6, no disc format and talk at Tokyo Tech fair of a price tag in UK of £800 to £1,250 by Sony staff.

OMG, what we buying? Only games can be downloaded from Sony. A type of buy from us only domination.

I am 62, I have a Ps1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; I have over 300 games on disk, my memories and nostalgia are there, like a lot of fans, Sony are dumping us, not us them. Its total disrespect. I cant play my games on a console they will expect me to pay twice I paid for PS5....No!

Sony, reverse the decision or loose the dedicated following, who didnt go with XBox.

Those 45% still bought the PS3 ports of black ops 1&2 from the ps store
