@ManaByte You write the best articles / long from messages Jeremy👏

If you look at how Sony is handling the PlayStation 5 right now, the sudden hardware price hikes, the expensive mid-gen refresh, the increased cost of digital games and accessories, and a general vibe that they aren’t really listening to player feedback; it can feel jarring. But for anyone who was plugged into the industry twenty years ago, none of this is new. You’re just witnessing the return of "Arrogant Sony." To understand how a company gets this way, you have to look at the transition from the PS2 to the PS3. Coming off the PlayStation 2 era, Sony didn't just win the console war; they utterly dominated the entire landscape. The PS2 became the best-selling console of all time, completely flattening the original Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube. When you reach that level of absolute, undisputed market dominance, corporate hubris inevitably sets in. Sony started believing that the "PlayStation" brand name alone was bulletproof, and that gamers would blindly pay anything just for the privilege of owning their next machine. That arrogance famously peaked at E3 2006, when they dropped the infamous "$599 US Dollars" price tag for the PS3. Executives literally told the public that people would work second jobs to afford one, and that the console was "probably too cheap." The gaming media back then rarely checked them on this behavior. The access journalism of the mid-2000s was heavily driven by perks, and no perk was bigger than securing an invite to Sony’s lavish, over-the-top annual E3 party. It was the gaming industry equivalent of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party; the absolute peak of Hollywood-level excess, exclusivity, and clout. If an outlet ran too many critical editorials or hit pieces questioning Sony's corporate attitude, they risked getting blacklisted from the event. So, the media largely smiled, played along, and let the hubris grow completely unchecked until the public voted with their wallets and forced Sony into a desperate, years-long game of catch-up against the Xbox 360. Cut to today, and history is repeating itself because Sony finds themselves back in that exact same unchallenged position. Right now, Sony essentially views Xbox as zero competition. Microsoft's strategy shift toward putting their first-party games on competing platforms has signaled to Sony that they've won the traditional high-end console space. At the same time, Sony has never factored Nintendo into their direct market equations, viewing them as a completely separate "family or casual" ecosystem rather than a threat to their core demographic. With no perceived rivals left in their lane, Sony’s corporate focus underwent a massive structural shift around 2020, moving its operational heartbeat out of Japan to align the brand as a thoroughly Western company run out of California. They wanted to focus on massive, blockbuster Western cinematic games, and in doing so, they completely took their eye off their home turf. They began ignoring the Japanese market, culminating in symbolic but deeply telling moves like globally swapping the standard functionality of the X and O controller buttons. Since 1994, Japanese players had used O for confirm and X for cancel; it was a deeply ingrained muscle memory and cultural standard. Forcing the Western layout on Japan was a blatant declaration that regional preferences no longer mattered to the new regime. But while Sony was looking away and treating Nintendo like non-competition, Nintendo quietly and completely stole the entire Japanese market from under them. The Switch became an absolute juggernaut in Japan, completely reshaping gaming habits there while PlayStation hardware sales and cultural footprint shrank to historic lows. When a company believes it has no true peers left to fight in its specific bracket, the internal guardrails come down. The price hikes, the lack of communication, and the corporate indifference we’re seeing with the PS5 right now aren't a mistake; it's the exact same script from 2006, being played out by a company that once again thinks it's completely untouchable.

@kabrutusdeid I am getting tired of it too

Why is it basically mandatory for most of today’s Western AAA game industry to have such ugly characters in their games?

@WinC_Gaming @JezCorden Ok, it’s time Microsoft. Go scorched earth. Pull it all. Overwatch, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Halo, Gears, Forza, Call of Duty, Fable. Money hat other major times exclusives.

Sony is no longer releasing its first-party single player games on PC, and will keep them completely exclusive to PlayStation. 🎮 The move confirms a report from earlier this year — and puts pressure on Xbox as it considers bringing exclusives back. 🤔 windowscentral.com/gaming/report-…

Bobbi Althoff is completely unrecognizable after she got styled by Sukihana! 🤯

@BrianRoemmele If this commercial were made today you would have 30 diverse people represented in 30 seconds. Black, Asian, White, Hispanic, gay, lesbian, trans, etc and probably a Native American too. Doesn’t make sense how they are presented, just shoe-horn them into the commercial somehow.

@MikeBales How do you know their neighbor isn’t a complete piece of crap to the and they have no reason to do them a favor.

Whatever you do in life, for the love of God… don’t be this neighbor.

What do you call the gas pedal in an electric car? 😳 In our Tesla and the kids just asked me… Yo, I’m stuck?!? 🤯🤣

@BelannF @SusieM414141 I am so happy random beard man is here to show all the highly skills technologists and business people that they are “idiots” we should all obviously listen to him since nobody has thought through anything like this yet.

WORDS TO PONDER. We are spending a fortune in this country and in other countries toward developing the best AI in the world. Do you know the difference between 'Abstract Synthesis' and 'Concrete Synthesis'? We are in an AI bubble - Are the braniacs creating problems for us in reality with all the DATA CENTERS? Are these centers going to become useless very quickly? IS he right?

@DKH013 @SusieM414141 AI slop

Her creativity is truly unmatched The way she turned a simple idea into something so beautiful and inspiring is honestly amazing 😍👏 Talent like this deserves all the love and appreciation ❤️

@Sn4kee @asha_shar great branding right here

@elonmusk you should ask your X engineers to figure out and maybe patent how to smooth out the weird audio curve when it’s in fast mode that makes it sound robotic. People should just sound like they are talking quickly but still be natural. Maybe use AI to solve if the algo needs to be a little different for every person.

@benshapiro @SwipeWright Most podcasts I listen to at 2X speed, but Ben is only at 1.5X speed

All the haters can kiss my ass

@TheRabbitHole @elonmusk Yes but they would greatly prefer the second option to be depicted

@elonmusk Woke Entertainment is propaganda

Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?
