Product Information

Sony actually tried to push gaming forward with the PS3 IMO. The PS4 on the other hand was weak (but relatively inexpensive - they sort of learned their lesson, you could say), which is probably why they had to make the Pro mid generation (to keep up with PCs mainly, but of course also the Xbox One X). Like the article itself just admitted, an audience is not limited to a fandom. And you'll be surprised, but normal people outside the fan asylums don't quite buy games and consoles to seek "respect" or "loyalty" - they buy games and consoles to entertain themselves. If Sony actually loses to XBox this gen, it won't be a battle of reputations, it'll be on the perennial battlefield of sufficiently marketed offer and sufficiently financed demand. Controller? It does not need to change a controller that has no need to be changed. It is not boring. It works absolutely great and has a fantastic build to it. It is slightly more compact than Xbox one. You do not understand the difference in size but my wife is thankful since she enjoys the smaller build for her gaming needs.

I shall now wait until a PS5 slim is launched, see where Sony are then, before I make a purchasing decision, not that you can buy a PS5 now anyway. But so far they've lost me as a customer. Last gen I had all three consoles, still have my Switch and PS4 and Pro, but all I've been playing on is Xbox. You can play 3rd party on either console and other will gather dust just fine. Your argument about how many exclusives you have been playing isn't going to change the fact that there are advantages of having an Xbox atm. It gathering dust in your shelf isn't going to change my mind one bit. Meanwhile, Sony is focused on helping developers milk more money out of upgrades to PS5-editions of games and higher default pricing. Sound familiar? I think I will still look to buy a PS5 but unlike last gen I do feel that at some point I may need an Xbox as well. Not a PC though, prefer gaming on a console.

COOL DESIGN: Designed in colours inspired by the awesome PlayStation 5, this super cool blue and white ceramic money box stands 15cm (5.9 inches) tall. Incorporating the shapes of the iconic action button symbols, the triangle, circle, cross, and square are embossed in white. Also worth mentioning that Sony isn't going to suffer in the short-term. Their momentum coming off of PS4 is so great that they can probably surf it through most of the generation and still do incredibly well with PS5. E3 got reconfirmed this week, but I am honestly not excited, which I find strange. I want to like what I see and hear, and some games planned for the future sound great, but they are so far in the future it is difficult to be excited for. Basically Sony are still on top anyway, and will remain that way unless they keep piling up boneheaded decisions and alienating the fans, but if you're a true gamer you realise the platform is just a means to an end and it's the games themselves that count. Pretty obvious thing to say, but very easy for people to lose sight of when they succumb to nascent fanboy rage monkeying, I suppose. There does seem to be an element of hubris and bigheadedness to Sony at the moment though, and I feel Microsoft's communication is more consistent and constant, however what Sony's marketing and PR team might be doing is deliberately making people "thirsty" for knowledge about what they're doing by deliberately remaining tight-lipped about these things, as they did prior to the PS5 reveal, so every morsel of news people do eventually get leads to rife amounts of speculation, postulation and all kinds of rabid discussion.

They aren't on the losing end right now but if they keep up with the attitude they have right now they could very well be trailing behind Microsoft in a few years. It is irrelevant whether you have an Xbox sitting next to your ps5 or you have Phil Spencer himself cookin your breakfast. The "who is winning" conversation at the moment seems to be driven by the narrative as opposed to content delivery. Microsoft are talking a lot but Sony are making better first party games. If you want your console manufacturer to be very vocal then MS are winning in the space because they are marketing the hell out of gamepass and Xbox Studios. When it comes to first party content Sony is winning because they have proven time and time again that they have nurtured their development teams to allow them the freedom of creativity to produce some of the best games we have seen in a long time. I kind of wish Sony would have supported Atmos and DTS:X. Sony can continue to support 3D Audio via Headphones with it's own proprietary technology, but there is no sense in reinventing the wheel here for people with supported home theater systems - the 3D Audio already exists there (no research needed). Plus there are a fair amount of streaming services that support Dolby Atmos. Probably too late for that, but it would have been nice.I can certainly say that by the description you provided me, I would play a driving game over ps and not xbox. Also, here we go with no folders again?! Come on Sony, really? PS3 had folders, PS4 has folders. Seriously, stop. Just make it a standard with every system you make from here on out. I would urge Sony not to chase Game Pass and the subscription model. That's not what should scare them about Xbox's rise. What should is the Bethesda acquisition, Xbox's increasing overtures with top developers previously loyal to Sony, and above all, the fact they they only have one game for their new next gen system. I have owned every playstation system from the start and it has long been my favorite console brand, but if they don't realize the mistakes being made and change course soon, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually go the way of Atari. Sony is losing ground, Xbox are constantly in the news announcing great new games, making Game Pass better and better value, being interviewed all over the place by You Tubers to professional media, Phil Spencer AND his team working tirelessly to get their message out there.

That said, if they keep heading down the road they seem to be going down, they very well could eventually. The fact is that the PS3 had a very powerful (and expensive) CPU (the Cell processor) with an out of the ordinary architecture, that was hard to learn to get the most power out of. Sony has been dominating the home console market for over 25 years straight now in worldwide sales. Its the longest running videogame dynasty in the medium's existence (with the exception of the Nintendo Wii and possibly the Switch in the near future). Maybe that pisses some people off. Supplied in a branded, closed printed box, this PlayStation Icons Money Box is the perfect present for any PlayStation devotes whatever the occasion. Plus, collectors of PlayStation merchandise will welcome this addition to their collection of authentic memorabilia. I get Sony's reluctance to dive headlong into the subscription model because that slope is very slippery and expensive. (I truly dont think Phil Spencer appreciates what a comfy position he's in to spend so much of his parent company's money.) But I have to assume they're working on a decent answer to gamepass at this point, something that works in their business model.

Never understood the console wars and the fight between the "xbots" and "ponies" but I'm certain they speak for the minority of the gaming community. They are just so damn loud! Capturing women, dumping barrels, and launching Mario’s career�� that����s just how Donkey Kong rolls. And, now you can roll like Donkey Kong, thanks to this Nintendo Donkey Kong Moneybox! We're only a third of the way through the year. I'm going to reserve getting too judgemental for now. I will gladly play first party ps5 games when I get get my hands on a ps5 without touching a scalper. Xbox is closing the gap, that is inevitable, and that meas no mater what Sony does, they will lose some ground. That does not mean they will be behind, just that they will lose some advantage.

On the first party front the competition was a lot fiercer, Microsoft released a lot of Halo, Gears of War, etc. games during the Xbox 360 era, and also secured a number of (at least console) exclusive "second party" games like Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Condemned: Criminal Origin and Metro: 2033. There's a rot attached to current management, rightly or wrongly, and the company's reluctance to comment or clarify anything is allowing that to fester.If Xbox wants to "pull ahead", they need to put out some good exclusive content. They do that, they will be better than fine. Better than Sony.
