If you are seriously suggesting there are no negative posts about Sony on this forum then you absolutely are pretending they don't exist. Sony's raising prices of games and consoles alone generated a shitton of hate, including from me. But sure.....just pretend those conversations never existed.

I really don't know why you're behaving like this unprovoked, and it's actually annoying because we have some good discussion in PC hardware threads.

I am definitely not suggesting there are NO negative posts abouy Sony on this forum. They do exist but I fear you don't understand the definition of bias.

That poll suggests that PS5 is the winner. Therefore most people on this forum (or at least poll participants) have a PS5Here:

I understand bias perfectly well, but that's not what we are talking about. You said "nobody is allowed to say anything bad against Sony" and that is bullshit. And you just admitted it is bullshit.

It's definitely a reflection of the market share. And you mention FF16 and Starfield but what % percentage of people do you think had PC in mind when Starfield was mentioned. And with FF16 you have to play on PS5.
The reality is that Xbox just has a severely diminished presence here. At least. But like I said it's probably a reflection of the market share.

Dial back your persecution complex and constant console war baiting.
Well if you want to be that pedantic, sure, but you're missing the entire point.I understand bias perfectly well, but that's not what we are talking about. You said "nobody is allowed to say anything bad against Sony" and that is bullshit. And you just admitted it is bullshit.

Yeah those 3 more votes really swayed the whole forum...I just wonder why is it always warriors that have a persecution complex?It is crazy that non warrior just think a forums are made from individuals that sometimes agree and sometimes don't.But no to you GAF has a real inherent bias toward sony that have absolutely no explaination....

merging two different posts together? good job.
Do you understand how polls work? Majority wins.
That 3 more votes was 0.9% difference.

I just think it's impressive alone that more people on a gaming FORUM have a CONSOLE than a PC. More people have a CONSOLE. On a gaming FORUM than a COMPUTER.
And it was multiple choice. So how many of those 46% also had a PC too.
And yeah that poll does show that quite a bit more people have Xbox than I expected. But then you look at "What platform are you playing this game on?" And usually it's overwhelming in PlayStation's favour.
So it's obvious that people have decided that in general that's the place to play your games. Despite owning Xbox/PC/PS5 they prefer the PS5.

Yeah do you understand how anecdotal that is or do you see life in absolutes with no subtlety whatsoever?
In a room of 100 people if 51 are more inclined toward sony and 49 toward PC you'd say that it's a sony fanboy territory?Because the delta would be bigger in this scenario than in the poll.So 3 people are preventing all of gaf from talking bad about sony, no matter the countless threads shitting on sony.Poor guy the whole world might seem like an ennemy to you.

Alright ignore button it is then.When warriors are gloating about how childish they are, you know there's no going back.Have fun with the inevitable ban if you keep acting that way.Seems like I ruffled some feathers

It’s possible Gaf is more Sony-centric than Era but I don’t think a poll here with no equivalent poll in the other side is enough to decide that. But what they do on Era is to ban warriors and thank god for that.

All platform holders need to be barred from acquiring publishers and removing competition from the space. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Google, Apple, Valve, Epic, Amazon...it needs to be agreed that if you are a platform holder you don't get to buy out the entire industry. Let gamers decided what games they want to play and what platforms they want to play them on using their wallet, rather than platform holders making those decisions for everyone.

How Disney is handling Marvel is your fear for Xbox?
So do you think Game Pass is gonna go woke? there will be one body that will decide how each studio develops like a conveyor belt, and all Xbox games will feature gay protagonists? Is that your fear?

So this forum more accurately represents the market? The Hogwarts splits are probably even more lopsided for PS5 in real life.
It’s complete nonsense over at Ree, they got spooked by the mass exodus of XboxEra and turned that shit into a safe space for Xbox fanboys, it’s completely disproportionate. Look at the ABK thread alone. They have almost carte blanche to talk shit about PlayStation, even some of the mods.
Not saying it can’t be like that, but don’t come talk gibberish like that.
That shit doesn’t even matter for the topic at hand.

If cloud is so insignificant and inconsequential to the deal then why don't MS simply tell the CMA that they will give up cloud gaming and get the deal done then.
I would be fine with that if that included money hats to those publishers. Or else you leave a loop hole for the dominant market leader to content starve competition out of the market.

PlayStation and Nintendo have got to their dominant positions without the need to acquire a 70 billion dollar company.
Just a little over a decade ago XB and PS where on "equal" ("equal" cause Sony was on the verge of bankruptcy while Microsoft still had all the money in the world) footing on the console market after 360/PS3 ended neck on neck. And yet here we are Playstation and Nintendo are flourishing while XB is rotting, perhaps they should spend all that cash in better management and strategies instead of trying to buy the entire industry like spoiled rich children.

It’s not a loop hole. Exclusive content from third parties is standard practice across entertainment industries.
You talk as if Sony paid for COD exclusivity. Guess what, GTA was exclusive, then it became massive and no longer made sense for the third party that owns the IP to be exclusive.
Just whiny senseless arguments this whole third party exclusivity thing. Everyone does it. Only one started buying the biggest publishers and IP in the world.
The only thing you’re upset is that the market doesn’t feel the way you do about Xbox. That’s basically it.

Cloud gaming is so impactful of a market that it can't even be used in Australia properly. Clearly a Microsoft dominated market when 0% of a playerbase region specific literally can not use the product.
Also there is no appropriate way of managing the likes of Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo without stiffling competition and swinging the pendulum to an extreme. You either cap market share which in turn reduces the likelihood of investment in tech growth, cap acquisitions or money hats which in turn reduces playerbase interest because many want a reason to play their console choice, or you leave it to be a free for all with the relative mindset that at a certain point the business is too big to operate without prejudice. The gaming sector isn't like others, it's rather unique to talent utilisation but also fickle userbase that can shift on a dime.

Mostly your own. You escalated quickly for something you do not care about. Frankly, your post read like you are trying to get banned and go out like a martyr. Again, for something you don’t care about.Seems like I ruffled some feathers
See I don't know if this is a joke post or whether it's a birth of a new meme
Only Sony does it with large studios-publishers unless you want to go back a decade to tomb raider and the complaining about that 1 single large studio money hat.

I think a forum is just an old school type of social medium so I would expect more people to be on PC, yes. But like you said I'm derailing the thread by talking about Sony/Xbox bias so I'm just gonna drop it here.

Maybe they should be better at fostering relationships with third parties, along with creating a healthy market for software sales of third parties, along with financing games and companies that they don’t own.
You’re mad at Sony but your energy is being directed at the wrong party.

But I though this was to reach billions of gamers on smart devices that need cloud to play Game Pass?
So now it's only 5,000?
Constant streams of bullshit.
