When the PSP came out, Sony had actual franchises, deals with companies and games releasing, hell, they did when the Vita was around.

What four AAA games are going to be on this beyond Fortnite? Who's left to make them?

backlog, portable PS4

For anyone who isn't a fan, that just means Bloodborne on a plane, and unless the release date beats the emulator, I dunno. That also doesn't really set the handheld up with a future. What does the second year look like? Nothing?

Elden Ring, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2... Baldur's Gate 3?

Do y'all think PS5 games don't exist if they're also on PC?

Even if it's just PS4 for some reason - Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, Witcher 3, Gran Turismo, Kingdom Hearts 3, all of the Uncharteds.

The fuck do you think people are buying these consoles for? Decoration?

Elden Ring, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2... Baldur's Gate 3

Only one of those doesn't work on a Deck.

Even if it's just PS4 for some reason - Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, Witcher 3, Gran Turismo, Kingdom Hearts 3, all of the Uncharteds.

Still, that's not a console. That won't have any staying power beyond two years or so, clinging to a system that no longer exists unless they make downgraded ports for it.

Oh my bad, I forgot games cease to exist if they're on two platforms. What the fuck are you talking about? Because I guarantee you'd never say, 'the Steam Deck's a dead platform, because all its big games are also on PS5.'

Multiplatform development won. Get over it. It's been twenty fucking years since exclusivity was anything but an inconvenience. Most games come out on every relevant system - and Sony's proprietary piece of shit is second only to Nintendo's proprietary piece of shit, which prints money from all of its downgraded ports.

Oh, so on a long enough timeline, they're all doomed? Cool, consider me owned. Sony just tends to doom theirs on day one lol.

edit: downvoted yours too! come again!

'No u' doesn't work when someone's highlighting your hypocrisy and nonsense.

You don't have an argument. You have an allegiance. It's fanboyism, and it's dull.
