"When the PlayStation 3 was first revealed during Sony’s E3 2005 Press Conference, it was no surprise to see them show off footage from their most successful franchise, Gran Turismo. Originally titled, Vision Gran Turismo, had a monumental presence during Sony’s conference and genuinely showcased the capabilities of Sony’s upcoming gaming console."

PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.
During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”
It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.
Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.
I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.
Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?
This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.
Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
GT5 is an AMAZING racing title, I am just upset to see such a lackluster online multiplayer implemented into a title that's been in development for 5+ years.
Nothing can be perfect and adhere to all the gamers demands. Studios try but theres always something missing. The only things I want to see in the games are, Completeness, all the features they promised, and Online if it fits the game. Other than that its all good! GT5 is a amazing game and had all the features that it said it would have.
I got this midnight release and have been playing it non stop, but im not going to lie im very disappointed in it. I enjoy playing Forza 3 alot more, idk why its just more fun.
Traction control + GT Wheels + TCS OFF = Best Sim Racing :)
I could see how people new in the series might dislike the game since it does take a bit of learning curve to master it. To me GT5 is just more polish than Forza 3, and I do own both. While Forza was fun during its period, GT5 is now the new king of racing sim (I'm sure everyone will agree once the official sales figure comes out).
Plus from the looks of it, the game has way more depth than anyone has suspected. Kaz also has stated on his tweet that there's going to be more downloadable content, great patches and surprises soon.
Oops double post :)
