What Happened With PS5 Exclusives This Generation?

[O³ (O cubed)]

Yes they did

This is the stan narrative but, those games don’t have the attachment rates a Nintendo game might have. Most people playing games on playstation don’t buy/play or even give a fukk about those games

Yea, but this increasingly has nothing to do with exclusive games, which is why sony is now making very few of their games exclusive.

At some point people are gonna have to come to terms with the fact that the things that used to drive the industry(console wars) are just not that important anymore

You call it “greed”….in reality it’s “survival”

If sony dont get some gaas popping soon its gonna be really hard to justify their investment in gaming software.

Xbox is in survival mode. They bought publishers to make games for customers who don't buy them. They had no choice but to go multiplatform and go to where people do buy games.

The customers aren't buying the consoles. 30 million in almost 5 years is awful for them. They had no choice but to pivot.
They revealed an "Xbox" handheld which is an Asus ROG with an XBox logo. Its another PC handheld that already doesn't do numbers. The Switch 2 sold as many units in 3 days as the PC handheld market leader has done in 3 years.

The most telling is when the flagship games appears on your rivals platform. If you told me 20 years ago that Forza and Gears would be on PS, I would have laughed in your face. Yet here we are.

Sony purchased publishers and went multiplatform too.

Yall just pretend that ain’t happen

The customers aren't buying the consoles. 30 million in almost 5 years is awful for them.

40 million(the more accurate estimate) in 5 years is pretty much exactly what xbox has always done.

According to Nutella there’s more people buying and playing games on xbox consoles than ever before.

That doesn’t mesh with stan narratives so we pretend he ain’t say that shyt

They had no choice but to pivot.

The irony of statements like this, as a response to Sonys clear change in strategy

They revealed an "Xbox" handheld which is an Asus ROG with an XBox logo. It’s another PC handheld that already doesn't do numbers. The Switch 2 sold as many units in 3 days as the PC handheld market leader has done in 3 years.

Nintendo been kicking sony ass for a few generations now, but we pretend nintendo don’t “count”

Today in 2025 Microsoft is making more money off gaming than sony or playstation

The most telling is when the flagship games appears on your rivals platform. If you told me 20 years ago that Forza and Gears would be on PS, I would have laughed in your face. Yet here we are.

If I told you 5 years ago(which i did) TLOU would be on PC, you woulda (and you did) laughed in my face…..yet here we are.

Your post is puzzling. 20yrs ago has nothing to do with the world you live in today. And in every metric you use, you never include the one place Microsoft is attacking. Online, cloud, services. And you're ignoring that Sony is doing the exact same thing

So not even SONY gives a shyt about what you propping up. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
I get it, you know damn well they are operating at the mercy of Microsoft because that is their domain. Acknowledging that would force you to acknowledge that Microsofts strategy is not only working. It has Sony scrambling and it has Sony Stans in total denial about reality.

You know how Wukong sold like 10mil really fast? That's not because of PlayStation Its the world market
And Microsoft is positioned to take advantage of that while Sony can only pliggyback. We about to enter the App-console phase of gaming
You can already play Playstation Plus on the next Xbiox. We don't care that you can't play Gamepass on your PlayStation. Gamepass is great for gaming and the only people complaining about a Gamepass is a sony Stan. Once you realize that you'll realize how dumb you look being the only people spreading lies just to cope with the truth

You really are one dumb xbot

Few generations now? The ps4 kicked the shyt out of the Wii U so hard Nintendo has to combine their handheld and console teams into one and launch mid gen.

 

[Greenhornet]

whats funny in general is that the games suck and theyve been releasing the same shyt remixed for over a decade at this point
im ready for any console to start actually "creating" games and not some copy and paste bullshyt with a convoluted story

 

[GambinoMakeItWork]

What's confusing?
The "back half of the gen" for this gen started around the second half of 2023 which gave us Spider-man 2, HD2, FFVII Rebirth, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot and we got DS2 end of the month with Yotei later this year. Next year is obviously stacked. People looking for "gotchas!" that aren't even there.

you know hating Sony takes precedent over embracing quality games

it's only their GOTYs that ppl go on smear campaigns about, Astrobot still has ppl tight 6 months later

Also, none of those games you listed count I'll be playing the "definitive edition" on my budget build that's weaker than ps5 pro a year from now (hopefully)

 

[bigdaddy88]

The ps 5 sucks but too many dikk riders on here..I have it but PS4 had more top titles imo..

whatever they “had” to do they did it, and sold more consoles by a large margin.

Back half? Nah the PS 5 is here until 2028 easily unless MS drops a console that forces their hand graphically and fidelity wise.

And only 1 game of this list is an exclusive

and we got DS2 end of the month with Yotei later this year. Next year is obviously stacked. People looking for "gotchas!" that aren't even there.

Nah, again got flamed for saying that it was no point in having a PS like that until towards the end of its life, that's when you get the quality games... Starting with the PS3.

If 2 exclusives a year are enough for y'all to be happy, y'all all owe apologies to Xbox players that happily played game pass and enjoyed their 2 exclusives a year.

If the same energy was applied, it'd "I'll just get it on PC" and "PS ain't got no games"

 

[The Mad Titan]

We believe in generations

2nd biggest lie ever told



Sony Stans will ignore it though and worry about Phil saying "it's only four games right now"

Meanwhile they went out and bought PlayStation to play next generation games and got remakes and cross generation games will blaming the Series S for holding back the industry.



You can't make this up

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Sony stan’s bought a PS5 in 2020 cause they were anticipating some good exclusives to come out in 2025 and beyond

The corners yall stan yourselves into……..

I know you're doing your usual this isn't an exclusive anymore because now that it came to PC later on, I will pretend that at the time it launched there was no reason to play it because 1+year later it released on PC shtick but it's old. All of those games were/are PS5 exclusives. Where did you play Rebirth? on PC? Where did you play Spider-Man 2? PC? Stellar Blade? Astro Bot(I know you hating so you didn't play it). Every game I own on PS5... I played on PS5. It coming to PC years later doesn't matter, because I didn't wait for release day to sit around talking about I'll wait till it release someday on PC.

MS drops a console that forces their hand? How, the games will release on PS5 day 1, so what is there to be forced by? Halo? Gears? Those are day 1 PS5 games now.

Nah, again got flamed for saying that it was no point in having a PS like that until towards the end of its life, that's when you get the quality games... Starting with the PS3.

Breh, I'm done with this feigning ignorance shtick you and Meach does along with this passive aggressive "See we were right because there's no exclusives technically on PS5 because Death Stranding 1 came out 5 years later on Xbox and Ghosts of Yotei will be on PC someday in 2026 so it doesn't really count right now" shtick. You're talking points are just completely full of shyt and you know that. You can continue that shyt with @Gizmo_Duck or @Rekkapryde , It's boring now and pointless. Games coming from Xbox are releasing on PS5 day 1 and this nikka still think there's an argument to be made here.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

The problem is these AAA video game titles have become too long and too expensive to develop. Sony's not the only one feeling these diminishing returns from bloated development; we just notice it from them more because the PlayStation brand is synonymous with AAA gaming experiences. It had been since MGS and FFVII.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

know you're doing your usual this isn't an exclusive anymore because now that it came to PC later on

Yeah, it’s crazy when people do this.

It's funny because Xbox One has NO REAL exclusives.

Titanfall?? PC and Xbox 360 versions available.

Forza Horizon 2? 360 version available.

Dead Rising 3? PC Version coming out.

Max and the w/e that shyt is called?? PC version

The ONLY real exclusive games coming out this holiday on Xbox One is Sunset Overdrive and a Halo remake.

MEANWHILE Ps4 had REAL ass exclusives already like Infamous Second Son, Driveclub, Killzone, Knack etc.

nikkas be trippin

You're talking points are just completely full of shyt and you know that.
