Sony Needs More than Good Games and Power for PlayStation 5 to Stay on Top

Just because PlayStation is king of the hill right now doesn't mean it always will be. Comfort and success breed complacency, not innovation. That's what lit a fire under Microsoft to do better in the latter half of this generation. It's the mindset Sony needs going forward. Show gamers something they didn't know they needed, but now that they have, they can't live without.

“ “Sony needs more than good games and power for PS5 to stay on top”

When good games don’t matter in gaming. Smh.

androidcentral.com should stick to phones.

VenomUK1742d ago

Sony should focus on TV, TV, TV.

S2Killinit1742d ago

They need more than good games. They need more PR talking heads.

@RobtimusPrime mate I never even thought of the N4G doing a user "purge", but the way you pointed it out seems SOO true!

for me, great games is all that matters. it's WHY i stay with sony.

RosweeSon1741d ago

It’s why I game the games I don’t who’s making them or what console they on if it’s good enough I’ll get it on one system or another current PS4/switch I had xb1s smashed all the exclusives crackdown3 wasn’t out at the time but don’t think I missed much with that and wasn’t gonna keep a console around just for that game the other 2 consoles got me covered

Stadia from the makers of android need good games to even come close to breaching the streaming market. They aren't likely to take much from the console market, and both Sony and Nintendo are way ahead of Google in recognizable big IPs to leverage their streaming services.

Sony is on top this gen because of the good games, and doing lots of other things right. Sony will be fine, and aren't the ones who need to be worried right now. The competition are the ones that need to get their sh*t together that people should be worried about. Maybe wait until those companies prove their worth instead of being concerned over sonys future

Article writer needs to be slapped with a dreamcast console or an xbox one or a ps vita.

trooper_1741d ago

The fact that these moronic journalism even exist is hilarious at best.

How the hell is a console going to sell if it doesn't have great games?

SyntheticForm1741d ago

Sony just needs to keep doing what they're doing. Microsoft can do as it likes, but it's my 'hope' that they nurture the studios they've acquired and bring out some big games rivaling Sony's powerhouses.

Naughty Dog may have always been 'good' but Sony nurtured that studio and enabled it to be what it is today, which is brilliant.

To stay on top of the gaming world, Sony needs to sell Bananas. /s

do they done exactly the same article on m$? or this is just another m$ bought site to write rubbish?

Gardenia1742d ago

As long as people keep commenting articles will heat up. N4G should keep opinions and news separated so clickbait like this isn't wasting space on the front page

RizBiz1741d ago

They need to add an option to flag clickbait trash.

ChristopherJack1741d ago

Oh good God, people still write m$?? Do you also write $ony or Nint€ndo when you think up childish conspiracies involving them?

feenix-51741d ago (Edited 1741d ago )

Yes they do, get the f**k over it. M$ earned the M$ moniker for a reason. Also Sony never did anything to need a title like that and the Nintendo one dosent even make sense

BrettAwesome1741d ago

#feenix-5
Then how about Nin¥endo?

jeremyj29131741d ago

I've actually always liked when ppl use Son¥. Gives them each there own identity.

LordJamar1741d ago

Are you stupid? This site does nothing but bash Xbox daily this is primary Sony fanboy site

MasterCornholio1741d ago (Edited 1741d ago )

No It isn't. You just like playing the victim that's all. Time to become a little more mature and lay off the crazy conspiracy theories.

Besides if you don't like this site you can always go somewhere else. Nobody is forcing you to stay here.

1741d ago
ChristopherJack1740d ago

No, I've definitely noticed it, the 2 deflecting replies you received prior are prime examples. You make an objective observation, the 2 responses accuse you if playing the victim card--how do they even come to that? What is wrong them?

I feel like I lose brain cells everytime I look at the comments section on this site, nothing but propaganda and conspiracy theories. I'm just curious how this nonsense formed as I actually quite like the format of this site.

PhoenixUp1743d ago

Good games aren’t the key to success?

What is then? Services?

rainslacker1742d ago

Its android....so f2p MT p2w style games?

RosweeSon1741d ago (Edited 1741d ago )

Netflix apparently 🤦🏻‍♂️🥴 😜
Just incase your phone tv laptop pc and toaster don’t already allow it

ChristopherJack1741d ago

Well honestly, the Switch really ought to have it in this day and age.

isarai1743d ago

No they don't, no system ever did poorly with a consistent stream of good game releases. And nothing has ever saved a console with a sore lack of good games(other than increasing frequencyof good game releases). Good games are what fuel or stifle(when lacking) a successful console. Always has, and always will.

Also find it funny that every "journalist" jumping on the "PS5 is not innovative enough" bandwagon seems absolutely blind to the fact that PSVR exists. Playstation is literally the only console with capable VR functionality, yet MS is the innovator? For doing what?

The original Xbox performed rather poorly despite a pretty consistent amount of good games including some excellent games that didn't appear on PS2 such as Halo/2, Fable & Morrowind.

Chaosdreams1743d ago

I could live without these opinion pieces. If Sony creates tech that scrubs these I’ll buy a ps5.

Naturally I’m kidding, freedom of expression and so forth. Also, games.

Sony offers games. When they stop doing that, I’ll stop buying.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot14m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0076m ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Leeroyw1h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak1h ago(Edited 57m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy8527m ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
