Sony's Shawn Layden bets on PS5 and not console upgrades

[MeachTheMonster]

They can call it what they want, but if it doesn't play PS4 games and vice versa they are just blocking it on purpose to make more money.

He's only saying this now to make Sony stans feel better about the 1X

Sony paid 380million dollars for Gaikai so that they could make that money back by selling YOU PS1/2/3 games via PS-NOW

They have NO history of giving a shyt about its customer base, from ignoring the Disc Read Error issues that plagued the PS2, the yellow light error problem with the PS3, or even when PSN went down, they said there lack of security isn't their fault.

So if you think they will do any of what you suggest? My questioon to you is what you gonna do if they don't? Support them like you always do (You meaning sony fans as a collective) if that is the case, you gotta look at company trends. Sony is not an innovator in that space. They like to copy what the competition is doing. So if backwards compatibility beomces a big enough issue you'll get it in some form.

The problem is in a console war, emotions makes gamers say a lot of things. The popular trend is for a sony gamer to say backwards compatibility isn't an issue. Sony is listening and hoping you're saying such things. They looking for any excuse NOT to do it. 380million dollars is at stake. I wouldn't be surprised if sony has people flooding message boards with that exact message

and I'm sure it would have costed less than $380 million to develop whatever tech was necessary to implement real, insert disc, backwards compatibility in the PS4, or even the XBOX solution of inserting the disc to prove ownership and downloading the digital copy from their network.

Will be forgotten if they bare witness to visuals they can barely comprehend

The same way the XB1X will do to the PS4Pro ? :CoffeeDaigo:

I'm not sure what your point is here BD

Doing what you suggested would take away a reason to CHARGE YOU AGAIN for it

Xbox uses disc to verify you actually own the game

I'm gonna slowly back out this secret entrance over here........................................................ ->

Those visuals are comprehendable because they arent a big leap from the pro.

You wasted your money
You played yourself

It's over

A thread for this tho

Sony has already said on numerous occasions there will be a PS5
And anyone with a brain can tell you there won't be a PS4pro-X-turbo

Slow news day eh? Well, I dropped my 2. I'll let you gentleman speculate...

Will you change your username to @PS5 tho?

 

[PS5 Pro]

Will you change your username to @PS5 tho?

I gotta create Ps4pro first

 

[Trapperman Dave]

so what was the PS4 Pro then ?

A cheaper 4k alternative not a cash grab by any means

Hold on ain't ps the first motherfukkers to start this stupid shyt with the pro

Hopefully these mid cycle HD systems are a one and done thing, terrible idea

 

[Cladyclad]

PS5 is 2019. I have no issue at all. 6 years is more than enough for me. Hell they can release it next year and I wouldn't care.
