I don't think they can complete with PCs anyway after they killed off physical media. Steam is a much better choice for all-digital.

in recent years, more users globally have been using personal monitors. In response, we are selling peripherals such as monitors and speakers to break away from the fixed perception that ‘PlayStation equals the living room

This is dumb. People talk about moving PCs into the living room because currently it kinda sucks. But using PS at your desk with a monitor is completely fine. Always has been. We don't need Sony monitors or speakers for that. But I guess they're trying to expand into proprietary peripherals? Heaven forbid someone should plug a PlayStation into a non-Sony monitor? Maybe PS users will get a DisplayPort out of it?

Feels like they are completely missing the point: people went PC because of the freedom it offers, not because they wanted to play on a monitor rather than in the living room...

Correct, it won't compete

They got "won't" and "simply" in the wrong order...

Sony can now go gargle my balls.

What else is it going to do? Suck your dick?

Because that just worked out so well for them last time…

It can't. They have chosen death, maybe.

"Guys guys its cool because now we will sell eye wateringly overpriced Bluetooth speakers and Monitors for you to play your new PlayStation on! After all we here at PlayStation know that was the only difference between a gaming PC and a PlayStation so we look forward to seeing the numbers go up on the spreadsheet next year because of this decision!"

Man I've owned PS since PS1 and I just can't do it anymore. They have lost the plot. Its sad what they've done to PlayStation.

Microsoft left console market. Sony try to stay, the Sony way. In the end, peoples will simply play on PC.

So close yet so far ! Accurate title : "Next PlayStation simply won't compete with PCs"
