PlayStation are the market leader at creating great games and new series… only to completely abandon them forever. In today’s video, we look at two decades of fantastic Sony games that are forever locked in a vault somewhere.
The second and third places go to Nintendo and Ubisoft.
You can’t compare Sony with Nintendo, the latter has dozens upon dozens of franchises and works with many of them every generation. They can’t make games of every niche franchise that people ask, and on top of that make like 10 new IPs too every generation because people also always complain they never make new IPs and always rely on nostalgia.
And then we have Sony working with like 5 franchises and calling it a day.
Yup. And just as a reminder of what Sony’s been up to in the past few years:
- Sony makes devs’ lives difficult
- Joystick drift on Sony’s 400$ console is a thing
- So. Much. Censorship.
- They don’t understand why anyone would need backwards compatibility
- They want their first party games to cost 70$
- Cross-gen upgrades now cost money.
- Spent 5 years building up a studio that never produced a single game, then shut it down
- The bastards shut down Japan Studio. No, I’m not pissed, why do you ask?
Why do we care about these guys again?
