Sony don't really have quality control. Jim sterling researched this and if you are mates with higher ups you can get anything on the store which is why you have stuff like life of black tiger. There's some awful ****e on the Sony store as well.
As for Nintendo, their store is a bit of a mess bit they have a good wishlist system which they improved a few months back. I wasn't referring to that anyway. It's more that Nintendo actively promote indies in their video directs as well as Microsoft. There's zero promotion from Sony of indies. They don't have to do it sure but their competition is doing a lot more for devs. I'm sure indie devs wouldn't bother with Sony if they could afford to cut out the majority home console owner but they can't.
As pc being spoiled brats, they aren't screaming for first party console releases. It's nice they are coming to pc now but pc gamers well know they aren't coming to pc.
As for games not running well on pc at release, well it's kind of unacceptable when it's a product that is being charged for. Horizon wasn't acceptable at release but it has been fixed and nobody has been complaining since. Also I seem to remember cyberpunk running unacceptably at launch on console and causing an uproar so it's not just a pc thing, just far more often devs will release a shoddy pc port so happens more often. Go on twitter now and it's full on Sony fans complaint about PC and mobile getting the final fantasy pixel remasters and not consoles. It goes both ways. I really don't see where you are getting that from?
Anyway I'm not really seeing the last gen and current gen consoles stand out. Sony did had some good exclusives but there were only a handful when you compare it to previous generations or Nintendo consoles. I feel Ms and Sony are just selling you a box that plays all the games with a few exclusives hear and there. It's made the PS4 and Xbox one two of the most boring consoles of all time for me but on the other hand it's kind of a good thing that own just one of them means you aren't missing out. Switch as well for how much I like it's portability is kind of a indie machine with some nintendo games. I'll wait and see if the dual sense actual fulfils it's promise as well. I very much doubt it's going to be dpad or analogue stick levels and more so a cute extra.

Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut out 20th of August includes expansion on new island like rumoured.
Apparently if you own the original game on PS4, you can upgrade to the PS5 version for 30 quid or pay 70 for it new...

I agree with the first half of that video, Nintendo have intentionally been embracing that 'disney of games' title they've been bestowed in all the wrong corporate bs ways (their limitation of the re-release of old titles is actually very similar to how Disney for a long time handled re-releasing their 'disney classics')
But the second half I feel loses me slightly in that it tries to peg a certain attitude problem specifically on nintendo fans when honestly it's the corporate dick worship is a common thread across all the big comapnies and I feel he get's close to this point and then backs off to refocus it on nintendo.
The point is nintendo does make good games, the vast majority of the vote ratio examples he gave where when corporations didnt make good games or made decisions that directly affected games (fallout 76, no mans sky, loot boxes in star wars) the only one that wasnt was the blizzard case.
The corporate dick worship of nintendo is no different then the worship we see for many other brands and corporations, only difference is nintendo have been proven right on game design way more often then any other corporation and have made almost consistently good games. Which allows them to be worst in every other aspect, but to pull out specifically nintendo fans and say they are the ones prolonging it when they've mostly acted no different then any other fan group, they've just had less to complain about in terms of games. That feels off base and essentially pushing a problem that seems to be affecting a sizeable majority of game fandoms and pushing it onto something that is uniquely *that fandom's problem* Gamers in general have a problem that they'll ignore every problem if they are given or promised a nice shiny.
Probably why the lack of genuine backlash to ubisoft's stint as the catholic church of gaming really riles me up.0 -

The hardcore Sony fanboys are way more obnoxious in the last few years and twitter has got it into it's algorithmic head that I want to see posts by them so I get a nice taste of it recommended to me every morning. I'm not saying Sony fans, but there is a group of them that are next level deluded.
And then there's this from today:

Nintendo fans could be pretty bad but it's calmed down an awful lot lately.... or else is concentrated in the Smash community.
