Si think that the rivalry between fans of xbox and sony is ridiculous (first of all: you’re right), now imagine what it looks like to take it to a more “professional” ground. For example, to an opinion forum among sympathizers of the console of Microsoftwhere your preference for her makes you predict the PlayStation Apocalypse, and say that this one will be real enough for 2032.
Michael Pachter He is a video game analyst who is very good at talking about the current situation of gaming, but very bad at projecting their future. In a podcast of Xbox fans, where the topic of debate was PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series (that is, a formula for everything to go wrong) this man claimed that the PlayStation must have had about ten years to live.
He has already said a couple of (excuse the rudeness that I am going to drop, guys) disparate Similar. On 2017for example, said that console gaming will disappear in 2020 (the year where they were best sold and the only thing that prevented even greater consumption was the lack of production of PlayStation 5); and also said that “It wasn’t smart” for Nintendo to continue producing its hybrid console, and that it should start to focus only on the Nintendo Switch Lite. Until now, the Nintendo Switch continues to record sales records.
However, that does not mean that Pachter’s arguments were somewhat right, and we will try to replicate them without getting infected by his obvious Xbox fanaticism – which is difficult because, again, he was right. One of the biggest criticisms of him was towards the little response (Until now) Sony has shown against Microsoft’s offer. While for a monthly subscription, Xbox offers a huge catalog of video games, many of them from the day of their release, PlayStation still offers very little for its PlayStation Plus.
And as another defense of Pachter, that’s exactly why he mentioned that ten years from now cease to exist “PlayStation as we know it”. Obviously the service needs to be transformed, although who knows whether to add their service to the style Game Pass be such a radical transformation. This service, by the way, has until now the code name of Spartacus and according to rumors it will be released very soon.
However, there is something exciting about Pachter’s daring: How do you imagine gaming will be in ten years? What’s more, what do you imagine will happen in the world of video games? in only five years?
