Oh man, so Sony’s got its eye on Nintendo’s shiny new toy, the Switch 2. But seriously, they’re just chillin’ over there. I don’t know, maybe it’s the PlayStation 5’s fancy plan or something. They’re not sweating even a bit.
So, Hideaki Nishino, Sony’s boss guy, went on and on in this fireside chat — yeah, one of those buzzwordy things. People are freaking out that Nintendo’s getting all buddy-buddy with third-party devs. Nishino just shrugged it off, like, "Pfft, handhelds? Nah, doesn’t even compare to our glorious PS5 on big screens.” Makes you wonder if they’re overconfident or what, right?
He’s all about this immersive, mind-blowing gaming stuff, claiming that PS5 is the place to play. And hey, he’s not wrong about that controller. DualSense? Yeah, that thing is wild. I once felt like my brain did a cartwheel — no lie.
And publishers dropping games on every platform they can? That’s not a bad thing. More places, more fun, right? Still, Nishino’s quick to say PS5’s the best gig in town for creators. They’ve got all these sweet tools and whatnot. I got a little lost when he talked about monetization. Like, sure, we get it, money’s nice.
Now, some people asked about younger gamers sticking to Nintendo like glue, especially with those quirky Mario adventures and all. But Sony? They’ve got history, man. Like a treasure chest of games for anyone and everyone.
Oh, and their games aren’t just lounging in your living room anymore. Nah, Hermen Hulst talks about taking PlayStation to TV, movies, anime! Trying to snag those young’uns’ eyeballs, I guess? Weirdly, they forgot to mention this Ghost of Tsushima anime. Maybe it slipped their minds, or maybe… who knows?
Sony’s cool confidence came just after Nintendo’s Switch 2 hit the shelves. And wow, those numbers! Blew right past records with like, 3.5 million units sold. That’s a lot of gamers, right?
In Japan, it was bananas. Almost a million consoles sold in just four days. Remember the PlayStation 2? Huge deal, right? That thing only sold 630,000 at first. But don’t worry, PlayStation’s not losing sleep over it, apparently. At least, not yet.
