PlayStation dropped the ball this generation and it’s no coincidence that Sony moving to California has coincided with the stupid live service games push and they’re suffering from the Concord effect.
Dang bro was truly offended lol. Tell me, what groundbreaking game is Nintendo making? Cardboard robot? Mario Kart 50? Naw y'all getting Halo, most exciting thing about Nintendo in years huh?
SONY needs to fire all the Gen Z staff that insists on inserting wokeness and weak, pathetic, and insufferable characters into their games. Nobody wants to see that nonsense except a tiny (but vocal) minority that thinks they can create culture.
Nobody talks about this but first party games have been virtually none existent this generation. Both Sony and Microsoft literally had very few games after launch. They're both basically just third-party machines.
And soon, Nintendo will join them in that, starting with Switch 2. Look how the heavy 3rd party support for Switch 2 is hyped everywhere, that's a little bit worrisome. Because of that I really don't want Nintendo to become mainstream but it seems they will😓😨
@@FrostclawTheGatomonyeah, Xbox at least has cool features like game pass, good backwards compatibility, quick resume feature while Sony has... Some exclusive games? And when I say "some" I mean barely none.
The quicker Sony gets in their thick skull that gamers want mostly single player experiences, the quicker they'll get back to being great again. Nintendo gets it, and they've practically sold twice as many consoles as Sony and Xbox COMBINED this generation.

Sony is a sinking ship right now, 10 delayed games that concord Flop and the guy from insomniac retiring things seem like nothing is going Sony way Nintendo about to take over watch
I think cancelling all these live games is a good idea to fix a bad idea. People didn't buy a PlayStation for a bunch of Fortnight like games. Better to cancel them now instead of dropping them with no success. Glad they recognized that this wave of trying to copy the success of live games died before it really got started, unlike that wave of copying Dark Souls (man I hated that era). Unfortunately this console generation seems like it's almost over with not many games for PS5 or XBox in general.
Sony has literally shot itself in the foot by targeting the High-End PC market. Anyone who cares about resolution and frame rates will likely spend their money on a high-end PC, which is still better than a PS5 Pro and is laughable. I would honestly recommend just getting a Switch 2 and building a decent specced PC. You'll be able to play all of the Playstation exclusives and have access to the entire Xbox library.
Sony's problem was carried over from the ps4 they have good single player games but they take a long time to make and don't have any multiplayer components like they did in the ps3 days, not to mention Sony really only makes 3rd person game they need smaller games of different genres.

Last generation, I had my Wii U, my 3DS and a PS4 Pro and I saw absolutely no reason why I would ever want an Xbox because I had a decent PC. The Switch came out and that became my primary system.

Ever since Nintendo purposely sidestepped the console wars between Sony and Microsoft, by focusing on gameplay experiences and accessibility over power, it’s been standard to buy at least one “big” console and then a Nintendo. The longer this goes on though, the more it’s clear that for every excellent exclusive on the PS5 or Xbox, Nintendo has several and can easily accommodate a much wider range of gamers consistently. Don’t be shocked if Sony and Microsoft eventually pull out of the gaming hardware market altogether. They have fewer excellent exclusives and depend on massive sales of games to offset how much they lose on their consoles.
Interresting things not much people know: Nintendo is not part of Blackrock. Thats the reason why they are the only company who still makes games without microtransactions, games as a service...

@paxhumana2015 what do you think the cost difference is between making a cell shaded game and a hyper realistic game? Do you think it's millions of dollars or a couple hundred thousand? What do you think the cost difference is to employ developers in the West as opposed to the East? Innovation takes time to flesh out because of testing and retesting to ensure the idea works. Creating high fidelity graphics just takes time. You'll get both when GTA drops. Then you will understand why the price of games will be either $100 or just under it. That price for videogames is unsustainable. Watch.
Nintendo once again proves the "Tortoise And The Hare" theory. Slow and steady wins the race. While Sony and Microsoft were too busy in their "who has the most powerful system?" pissing match, Nintendo trotted right passed them both with the Switch. Seeing as the Switch was mainly a re-release machine coming off the heals of the Wii-U with not alot of power, I stand by the statement I've been saying since the first rumor about the Switch 2. The Switch was just the vehicle to get them back into a good position again and the Switch 2 will be the console that puts the nail in the coffin and dethrones the PS2 and it's "updated sales figures". With the backwards compatibility, more horsepower and this time have no choice but to make NEW games for it, it's a done deal. And if Microsoft manages to put their Xbox app on it? Psshhhh, it's a freakin wrap for Sony.
Switch 2 is still going to be underpowered and not able to run current gen (now 5 years old) games without more compromises than PS5. PC is Sony's biggest competitor now. Microsoft is going to put their games and Game Pass on everything, even Playstation.

Obviously Sony and Microsoft are just big nintendo fans and want the switch 2 to be as successful as possible. That's why they don't make games anymore
Most of these companies are focused on the color green.they really dont care about gamers opinions,they just pump out whatever it takes to put money in their pocket.
Yeah with Nintendo 10th gen console around the corner Nintendo 9th gen console just did it right they system was under powered but the games are just always some bangers
I’ve been a gamer since the C64 days (80s kid) , had PS1 ps2 ps3 ps4 and now ps5. Ps5 is by far the least I’ve used a PlayStation. Theres just not enough cool exclusive games on it. Gaming feels stagnant like we are mostly just waiting for GTA 6 to drop and that’s just sad
I think the issue we’re seeing is this: For one, the games being released are coming from companies that seem to hate their customers. Sony’s Western division is essentially running the company, and from what I understand, the Japanese division-because they have two co-CEOs-seems ready to get rid of the co-CEO position and shift away from the Western dominance of the company. Even though the West propped up Sony during the PlayStation 3 generation (for those who don’t remember), the Japanese division launched that console with a price that was way too high. They even told us we’d need a second job to afford it. It was incredibly out of touch. Thanks to some great incentives from the Western division-like PlayStation Plus, which at that time wasn’t mandatory to play online games, and offered solid, non-bargain bin titles-Sony was able to recover during that generation. At this point, though, the PlayStation 5 seems flooded with bargain bin titles. For those who aren’t old enough to remember, in the ’90s, really bad games would often drop to 99 cents or less within a month of release because they were just that bad. Now, keep in mind, some games that didn’t sell well back then were still good. I remember picking up Earthbound for five bucks at Best Buy simply because it didn’t sell well.
Neither West nor East should rule the company, instead, so how about making good products, less DEI b u l l s h i t , less MGTOW b u l l s h i t , less race baiting b u l l s h i t , no DLC/cash grab b u l l s h i t , and a return to, gasp, what made video games FUN in the first place? Yeah, how about all of THOSE things instead?
Dragon Quest has kind of taken a massive hit ever since a. the issue with the Gadabout class came to light for Dragon Quest III-HD, and b. since Akira Toriyama d i e d , so, in all honesty, Dragon Quest XI S is where the series should end.
Honestly I lost all respect for PlayStation during the FTC Microsoft trial. PlayStation was all over the FTC They even had an office set up at the FTC to make sure this trial went they way they wanted it to go. Then all these documents started coming out showing that PS was doing everything they could to keep games off of XBOX, even going so far as paying developers to NOT put games on XBox, not just paying publishers for PS exclusivity, but actually paying them to keep games off of XBox specifically, which is an antitrust violation. In the end, they just wanted keep MS from buying Activision because they wanted to keep the shady dealings they've done quiet.
The publishers are the ones taking the money, and don't act like Microsoft never did that too (Tomb Raider?) If Xbox had a decent enough user base, it wouldn't have made sense to keep the games off Xbox, but Microsoft's sales were so bad the publishers just took Sony's money.
People need to come to the realization that the PS6, Xbox Prime? And Switch 2 will be the last gen of true consoles. In 5 years you will be able to stream a game in 1440p or higher witb consistent 60fps or higher. Software is where the money at
Nintendo are headed for a ps1 to ps2 lvl of success with literally an open goal in front of them with the Switch 2/Mk9/Metroid 4 etc, while Xbox & Playstation climb out of their burning wrecks scratching there heads lol
Sony has a decades long track record of thriving with a catalog of Single Player Games. This shift to online only live service games is insulting to the customers that have supported their brand since the ps1
This is why I stick with Nintendo. Their games may not be as spectacular graphics wise, but they are just as fun and memorable and come out at a decent rate.
same brother, same. why pay for their online services when they have nothing to offer lol. the biggest slap to the face is locking my saves in their cloud and then saying they'll delete them if i don't get back to PSN paid. I understand some services do the same thing, but i would rather not put any more time on Sony and go somewhere else.
@@rob-rachschilling7953 Yeah. Got a new PC after switching to console 10-15 years ago. Installed C&C remastered from steam as I was fond of it in those days. Game just crashes non stop. I never get that type of problem on console. Don't get me wrong, it's probably just bad luck and i love PC gaming, especially there are far more genres of games on PC. But I certainly don't miss the whole "let's build a super PC" just to get a BSOD because of some random driver.
CEOs and company boards are almost always out of touch with their customers and what makes their business work, They just see figures on a spreadsheet. It isn't just video games, it is everywhere.
All you have to do is take the fan out and clear the dust inside. I fixed many Ps5s this way. I literally use a leaf blower after taking the fan out. 4 screws.
Gellus-C is correct, or you could use the hose attachment for your vacuum and hold it to the vents on your PS5 while it is off if you're lazy. It'll work, just not as well.
Well that was only a teaser announcement to be fair. But it's still on track to release this year with a full gameplay deep dive at their summer show expected.
Ya the switch which won't be able to run any triple A games like GTA 6 will be a big problem for Sony lol the switch is so terrible that they don't even have a voice chat feature for online play. The PS vita is more advanced then that turd.
I went back to play ps3 games I never tried and ps4 titles. I'm glad a did because it got me through the gaming drout and I was pleasantly suprised. Resistance 2, killzone 2 and 3, evil west are awsome
Im playing ps4 games on it... so its like PS4 pro pro right now 😛 I don't really understand the game industry. Why not lower the bar a bit on triple A games and release more games instead. Finish the games, lower the threshold for the triple A games and invest more in getting new game ideas to emerge
Finally... Thank you for speaking up for what was on my mind. My reason for getting a PS5 (phat) because my ps4 pro died in 2023 by overheating the console and fried my motherboard. I'm still playing some ps4 games myself 😂

They're being just as dumb as xbox. We need to start calling out these ceos for how absolutely stupid they are. Nintendo is the only one doing anything right. Luckily we have our favorite nintendo youtuber to keep us informed.
You aren’t wrong but I believe the consensus is these studios wasted time developing games that won’t come out. Game development takes 5 to 6 years now. So it could be years before we see new games from these studios now. Insomniac and sucker punch are the only ones that will release something soon that we know of for sure.
@@Dozer0088 Fair, but its not guaranteed those games would have sold well either. Also, Helldivers and Marvels Rivals are selling very well it seems, against the popular narrative that no one want GAAS.
PlayStation is just not the same anymore as they used to be they need to go back to their old roots I don’t hardly play anything on my PlayStation anymore, except for the exclusive games. I just play my Xbox all the time now.
Nintendo killing it! Xbox and Sony don’t know what to do anymore. Got back to hay days of ps2 GameCube and just keep the games coming without trying to make everything so realistic! Just start pumping out games! That’s the problem with the industry now!
It's not only PlayStation.. But also look at how many third party games that are STILL released on last gen and current gen for Xbox and PlayStation. This generation of console for those two companies is just a huge letdown across the board.
Games like Max Payne, GTA, god of war, cod MW2, The last of us and many more have never been available on Nintendo and are in my opinion the best games ever made.

I don’t have a PS5 but if a Twisted Metal game was made for it, I’d buy the console asap!
They really need to give it to a developer who understands what made 2 and Black so great and is capable of making an online successor.
.....from a scalper on amazon with a markdown😂
It’s a good thing that we have some good old pirates and emulators out there
Give it a project diva, some racing games, a bunch of sp campaigns like og tlou, maybe a high-end rpg and some cross-platform aaa/multiplayers for the choice, and it'll be enough to sell me. Btw NO MICROTRANSACTIONS.

wtf does that have to do with anything? hop off.
@@jfitnesshealthhas to do with everything. Why do you think products and services have sucked in general for the last 6+ years? It's not just video games it everything. Bunch of incompetent losers failing upwards. A return to merit based hiring is the only thing that will clean up this mess
Thank you Jim Ryan for setting PlayStation back 4 years
I’ve always had an XBOX and NINTENDO console and always been fulfilled with gaming!
Yeah I can say I really like PlayStation at all.
I'm not the only one who's sticking with Xbox Series and Nintendo as they have the best gaming experience and Xbox gamepass library is way more vast and Nintendo is always putting out fun games.
Switch is my most played console, next is my Series S. PS5 just sitting there unplugged. Switch 2 will be the only next console I’ll be getting.
So far, I am waiting for the release of the 5070 for my PC.....might try to find an OG 360 controller, to boot
I have 3 switches, a ps5, a ps5 pro, and a series x. Ps5 pro is by far the best, Xbox really has nothing. Halo and gears are coming to PlayStation, might as well throw it in the trash
@@Wealth_Wisdom_Discernment BIG flex 💪🏻
trade that OG PS5 and the Xbox towards a Switch 2.
@@fightrudyfight5799 I was actually thinking of selling them both anyways. I’ll definitely be buying a switch 2 day one! I litterally just bought the Xbox to play the halo games after I watched the show. lol
@@Wealth_Wisdom_Discernment Xbox has all the same great 3rd party the PS5 has.. so it's not ''nothing''

@brucebradley2735 it's a good game, but overall, just Astro Bot alone is not a reason to buy a ps5.
Twisted Metal has been around since the PS1… 1,2, & 3 are great titles. The PlayStation I knew and loved Died YEARS Ago…
Switch 2 and PC is all you need
Concord's fault for suuure
Fornite money's fault
its herman's baby what do you expect? it was gonna be the next star wars, their words not mine.
SONY needs to fire all the Gen Z staff that insists on inserting wokeness and weak, pathetic, and insufferable characters into their games. Nobody wants to see that nonsense except a tiny (but vocal) minority that thinks they can create culture.
Obviously Sony and Microsoft are just big nintendo fans and want the switch 2 to be as successful as possible. That's why they don't make games anymore
Pissing me off. They need to abandon the Californication they converted to.
What dose California has to do with anything? Those stuoidos who are doing this are all around the world
Bet you’ve been wanting to use californication in a sentence for awhile
Dream on Californiacation 🎶
Most of these companies are focused on the color green.they really dont care about gamers opinions,they just pump out whatever it takes to put money in their pocket.
Yeah with Nintendo 10th gen console around the corner Nintendo 9th gen console just did it right they system was under powered but the games are just always some bangers
Get woke go broke. These companies and people will learn
Unless you're Nintendo. They are the exception.
I'm so glad I went fully pc after the PS5 pro was announced
I’ve been a gamer since the C64 days (80s kid) , had PS1 ps2 ps3 ps4 and now ps5.
Ps5 is by far the least I’ve used a PlayStation. Theres just not enough cool exclusive games on it. Gaming feels stagnant like we are mostly just waiting for GTA 6 to drop and that’s just sad
Which guy is excited for the new AVGN game about to release on Switch? This guy ------>😁👈
I saw a short about it but figured it was old. That actually is exciting
@@realization2013 I'm gonna get the Switch and NES version BOTH🤟
First time hearing about it, that’s pretty dope
AVGN 8-Bit! Not a full third game in the series though...not exactly sure where it fits into the series.
yeah I can't believe I'm excited for a new NES release in 2025 lol
Wasting money, resources and pissing off gamers? I think that is a pretty accurate summary.
I sold both my PS5 consoles. They just did nothing for me, unlike the PS4 - which I loved! Between my Switch, Xbox Series X|S and PC, I’m covered. 👏🏻
I'll give RGT credit. At least this isn't a Switch 2 video
Yeah just wait until tomorrow 😂 It’s coming….The Switch 2 latest rumors
Its all the Blackrock and ESG funding. Sony wants that so badly that they're willing to forego happy fans to get it.
Sony pulling nonsense like this and people have the nerve to nitpick at everything Nintendo does.
I find it weird that the people who speak on these video games aren't from the demographic who plays video games. RGT drives an AMG.
The PlayStation we knew has been dead because Mr. RYAN killed it before he left the scene.
These companies should consult and hire people who actually play games and enjoy them.
I think the issue we’re seeing is this:
For one, the games being released are coming from companies that seem to hate their customers.
Sony’s Western division is essentially running the company, and from what I understand, the Japanese division-because they have two co-CEOs-seems ready to get rid of the co-CEO position and shift away from the Western dominance of the company.
Even though the West propped up Sony during the PlayStation 3 generation (for those who don’t remember), the Japanese division launched that console with a price that was way too high. They even told us we’d need a second job to afford it. It was incredibly out of touch.
Thanks to some great incentives from the Western division-like PlayStation Plus, which at that time wasn’t mandatory to play online games, and offered solid, non-bargain bin titles-Sony was able to recover during that generation.
At this point, though, the PlayStation 5 seems flooded with bargain bin titles. For those who aren’t old enough to remember, in the ’90s, really bad games would often drop to 99 cents or less within a month of release because they were just that bad.
Now, keep in mind, some games that didn’t sell well back then were still good. I remember picking up Earthbound for five bucks at Best Buy simply because it didn’t sell well.
Neither West nor East should rule the company, instead, so how about making good products, less DEI b

Never understood why ps5 sells so much with no games
Because Sony markets themselves as the cool ,mature console to gullable, insecure people...they're buying an image.
People just want something new and have money to burn . Even if there isn't much to play on it .
Nintendo Switch 2 and Dragon Quest 12 is going to be biblical. Sony won't know what hit them.
Dragon Quest has kind of taken a massive hit ever since a. the issue with the Gadabout class came to light for Dragon Quest III-HD, and b. since Akira Toriyama d

, so, in all honesty, Dragon Quest XI S is where the series should end.
@paxhumana2015 what a load of rubbish. Toriyama wasn't inking Dragon Ball and it was still popular.
8:53 Horizon is not a bad game and Aloy is not a terrible character. Not exactly for me but I can see how these games appeal to people.
Chips-Aloy is no good. Hot Aloy is mid.
Honestly I lost all respect for PlayStation during the FTC Microsoft trial. PlayStation was all over the FTC They even had an office set up at the FTC to make sure this trial went they way they wanted it to go. Then all these documents started coming out showing that PS was doing everything they could to keep games off of XBOX, even going so far as paying developers to NOT put games on XBox, not just paying publishers for PS exclusivity, but actually paying them to keep games off of XBox specifically, which is an antitrust violation. In the end, they just wanted keep MS from buying Activision because they wanted to keep the shady dealings they've done quiet.
The publishers are the ones taking the money, and don't act like Microsoft never did that too (Tomb Raider?) If Xbox had a decent enough user base, it wouldn't have made sense to keep the games off Xbox, but Microsoft's sales were so bad the publishers just took Sony's money.
I'm concerned that I paid $600 for a psvr2, and now everyone is talking like it's dead.
Twisted metal has been around since the PS1...
But the last game was on ps3
2025 is the year of Nintendo!
People need to come to the realization that the PS6, Xbox Prime? And Switch 2 will be the last gen of true consoles. In 5 years you will be able to stream a game in 1440p or higher witb consistent 60fps or higher. Software is where the money at
Games have been absolutely terrible for new systems
Nintendo are headed for a ps1 to ps2 lvl of success with literally an open goal in front of them with the Switch 2/Mk9/Metroid 4 etc, while Xbox & Playstation climb out of their burning wrecks scratching there heads lol
We're only 3 weeks in to 2025, and already people are freaking out?
Right!
Its been since ps3 since we had a twisted metal…
Yeah he fumbled the bag.
Sony has a decades long track record of thriving with a catalog of Single Player Games. This shift to online only live service games is insulting to the customers that have supported their brand since the ps1
This is why I stick with Nintendo. Their games may not be as spectacular graphics wise, but they are just as fun and memorable and come out at a decent rate.
Sony literally transformed me in to a PC player.
I've been telling people for 20 years that PC is far better!
same brother, same. why pay for their online services when they have nothing to offer lol. the biggest slap to the face is locking my saves in their cloud and then saying they'll delete them if i don't get back to PSN paid. I understand some services do the same thing, but i would rather not put any more time on Sony and go somewhere else.
@@rob-rachschilling7953same here!
@@rob-rachschilling7953 Yeah. Got a new PC after switching to console 10-15 years ago. Installed C&C remastered from steam as I was fond of it in those days. Game just crashes non stop. I never get that type of problem on console. Don't get me wrong, it's probably just bad luck and i love PC gaming, especially there are far more genres of games on PC. But I certainly don't miss the whole "let's build a super PC" just to get a BSOD because of some random driver.
Same here. Got the steamdeck. I could still install some pc games i had like 10years ago 😅😅
CEOs and company boards are almost always out of touch with their customers and what makes their business work, They just see figures on a spreadsheet. It isn't just video games, it is everywhere.
Twisted Metal came out on the ps3 although its debatable if anyone remembers it
My Playstation has been shutting off randomly 😒. Even when not in a spot to overheat.
All you have to do is take the fan out and clear the dust inside. I fixed many Ps5s this way. I literally use a leaf blower after taking the fan out. 4 screws.
Gellus-C is correct, or you could use the hose attachment for your vacuum and hold it to the vents on your PS5 while it is off if you're lazy. It'll work, just not as well.
Toxic positivity needs to be more widely acknowledged in the world as a problem and people need to start being real to counter it
Yeah. Where is fable? Had a trailer before console launch and still nothing.
Well that was only a teaser announcement to be fair. But it's still on track to release this year with a full gameplay deep dive at their summer show expected.
Releasing a game that did worse than ET, which played a huge part in video game crash in 80s tells you everything about current day Sony :-)
Companies love their formulas and trends. They don't always last.
I mostly play PS4 and PS2 games on the PS5. It’s sad
Sony is cooked when the Switch 2 comes out and gets Halo and Final Fantasy LMAO
Ya the switch which won't be able to run any triple A games like GTA 6 will be a big problem for Sony lol the switch is so terrible that they don't even have a voice chat feature for online play. The PS vita is more advanced then that turd.
I went back to play ps3 games I never tried and ps4 titles. I'm glad a did because it got me through the gaming drout and I was pleasantly suprised. Resistance 2, killzone 2 and 3, evil west are awsome
Im playing ps4 games on it... so its like PS4 pro pro right now 😛 I don't really understand the game industry. Why not lower the bar a bit on triple A games and release more games instead.
Finish the games, lower the threshold for the triple A games and invest more in getting new game ideas to emerge
Finally... Thank you for speaking up for what was on my mind. My reason for getting a PS5 (phat) because my ps4 pro died in 2023 by overheating the console and fried my motherboard.
I'm still playing some ps4 games myself 😂

@ lol, it’s got the nostalgic factor tied to it.
@@BlizzardPeak I have nostalgia for some games too but come on...surely you've played enough great games by now to see that nostalgia shouldn't have THAT much of an impact, right?
Being "woke" killed those games. Ghost of Yōtei went "woke" so when it releases it's gonna bomb bigly same with that Assassin's Greed Shadows. Go "woke", go broke
They're being just as dumb as xbox. We need to start calling out these ceos for how absolutely stupid they are. Nintendo is the only one doing anything right. Luckily we have our favorite nintendo youtuber to keep us informed.
They had a twisted metal show that they could have used to cross synergize
So salty I paid all this money to NOT be able to play GTA 4.
If you dont like Live Service games this should make you happy though?!
You aren’t wrong but I believe the consensus is these studios wasted time developing games that won’t come out. Game development takes 5 to 6 years now. So it could be years before we see new games from these studios now. Insomniac and sucker punch are the only ones that will release something soon that we know of for sure.
@@Dozer0088 Fair, but its not guaranteed those games would have sold well either. Also, Helldivers and Marvels Rivals are selling very well it seems, against the popular narrative that no one want GAAS.
PlayStation is just not the same anymore as they used to be they need to go back to their old roots I don’t hardly play anything on my PlayStation anymore, except for the exclusive games. I just play my Xbox all the time now.
Nintendo killing it! Xbox and Sony don’t know what to do anymore. Got back to hay days of ps2 GameCube and just keep the games coming without trying to make everything so realistic! Just start pumping out games! That’s the problem with the industry now!
Nintendo is the only company worth buying a console from + the great games available from them is awesome!
Play my Switch more than my Ps5. Even playing more my customized 3DS just because I missed year it's released.
It's not only PlayStation..
But also look at how many third party games that are STILL released on last gen and current gen for Xbox and PlayStation.
This generation of console for those two companies is just a huge letdown across the board.
Sony it’s a fraking disgrace!
And a traitor as well!
Nintendo carrying the VideoGame industry since the 80s
Games like Max Payne, GTA, god of war, cod MW2, The last of us and many more have never been available on Nintendo and are in my opinion the best games ever made.
