Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The pendulum swings back and forth, PS was overzealous and went way too risk-on with their live-service. The overcommitment didn't pay off, now they are in super risk-averse mode even though this is suppose to be the spiritual successor to Metal Gear and not Death Stranding again. 000

Reposted by PoeImran Khan @imrankhan.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Ultimately I think Sony is following the market, and the market is older, less willing to go to a store and buy a disc, and more willing to just buy new. And the younger generations that run counter to that are not filling in the blank spaces. The trends are what suck here. 835840

Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 01/07/2026This is shocking. I always thought console games would go the route of movies where streaming is the norm but the niche physical media enthusiasts can still thrive. Instead, they are going the way of music. Sad day indeed. 000
Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 30/06/2026A lot of chatter about how PlayStation is doing so much with Rockstar for GTA6, stuff that they don't do for their first party titles, etc. GTA5 is literally the 2nd best selling game of all time, and GTA6 will eclipse the sales of any of Sony's PS5 first party titles easily. 000

Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 08/06/2026There's certainly an interesting convo regarding Xbox's renewed "case by case" console exclusivity and its calculus, but I haven't heard anyone talk about how none of these decisions changed Game Pass day one on these titles. I mean isn't that part of the original math why they released on the PS5? 000
Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 02/06/2026longer development time/cost, live service trend chase higher cost of entry, expensive console, games are factors as well = less game output the need to innovate, either create a must buy game or lower costs and produce more good games each year is needed here. all of which are hard to accomplish. 000

Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Haven't seen this widely discussed, but PlayStation was initially "forced" to do PC porting because their games were taking too long and costing too much compared to its console game sales. Now that they are scaling PC ports back, it doesn't seem like it has solved that previous problem. 100

Poe @signwave.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Seems like a logical step to make after gathering more than five years worth of data on porting games to PC. I do hope that Sony won't abandon Nixxes since they were acquired for their PC porting abilities. They can do work in other aspects for the PS Studios while between the few PC ports planned. 010
