GTA 6, Yotei, DS2, Wolverine next year. Should be good. If they can also keep up the 3rd party stuff, 2024 was really good with that.

I’m looking at Sony’s share price and it’s basically gone nowhere since 2021. Are you sure this news is so great? Not a shareholder of this company. It had a dip at COVID recovered and has been stuck since.

I see it going to $23.80, possibly close to $25 before dipping again. It's been up over 80% since Oct. '22.

I think we get a dip before we take out the Jan 22 highs.

If they did, Xbox would be the top dog.

You've convinced yourself of this ridiculous narrative by creating a strawman that Playstation only sells because of exclusive games when people have said repeatedly that exclusives are a part of why many prefer playstation. It's not the SOLE reason. Just like exclusives alone didn't help the Wii U or Gamecube. It's a multitude of things but you know that, you just have to play dumb to save face lol.

This nikka

There are literally dozens of posts from years out of me saying, exclusive don't sell hardware overall. I even use the gamecube and wii u as examples. strong consistent 3rd party support has always been the way.



The only one who is flipping things are you and your buddies, exclusive games where the sole reason y'all spoke on buying a system for all the end of PS4 and up until last year.


If I ask you what these multitude of things outside of exclusives are the reason you would choose a PS5 over series X you not gonna have an answer, completely ignore it or post some meme or gif.


Sony stans delusional

PS5 selling because they are popular, not really sure why that's offensive to y'all.

nikkas ain't been buying PS5 the last year for exclusive games, it's simply because of the Brand and there friends have one and they want to play with friends.

That's not a knock, it would be the same for Xbox if the roles were reversed.


Exclusives are important if you are hoping to move a piece of hardware, but they are less important now than they have ever been.
