Did this dude say Xbox series 10? 😂

"Xbox Series 10" is wild. His producer needs to help him

Sony needs to make a full PlayStation documentary like Xbox did a couple of years ago

Man's couldn't even do a bit of research calling it a Xbox Series 10

Playstation growing up was truly what got me into video games. I made friends through it. Same for Nintendo. I own the ps3, ps4 and now ps5. I also own the N64, Wii and the Switch.

0:50 The iPhone X is pronounced as iPhone 10. So, I guess that's why he assumed the same for the Xbox Series X.

I remember it was 1995, and my neighbor just had a kid. He couldn't play videogames anymore, he walked down the hill, with a PlayStation in hand, and gave it to me and my brothers for free. One of My favorite summers. Battle Arena Toshinden tournaments all summer long.

Seeing Cinema bringing jn $81b a year and thinking Avatar was worth literally 5% of that is wild

I think the PS3’s comeback story should’ve been featured. People forget that it ended up outselling the 360.

I’ve been supporting PlayStation for 30yrs?? Holy cow.

Pretty good interview but one thing to clear up is the PS2 became successful due to having a built-in DVD player . The PlayStation 3 became successful not only because of its games but also because of the built-in Blu-ray player which was a brand new Cutting Edge technology at the time.

I legit feel so sorry for the people who aren’t old enough to remember the DS,gba, GameCube, Xbox, Dreamcast, ps2 days. Gen 6

Ps2 playing DVDs was huge cuz at the time DVD players was 1K which made buying a gaming console the better option which in turn made the DVD players prices come down that year in on word but it was still cheaper to just get the PS2😂

I still remember all those nights we played a rented(!) Playstation II during summer holidays...with the controller still attached to the console with a cable...At some point, I guess it was 2012, I bought myself a PS3, with Move controllers...loved it, it still works great and me and the kids still use it occasionally...last year I felt like I need an upgrade and after realistic evaluation of my needs and resources (mostly time, but money also), I bought myself an Xbox-Series S and I couldn't be more happy about it...small, portable, very powerful, no discs, very affordable (250 euro)...I've been playing Assassins Creed Odyssey since May last year and it's mind blowing awesome...

PS2 partly did so well because it was the cheapest way to get a DVD player.

Who wrote the script 😂😂😂😂😂

Ps2 games were unmatched, so many different games and their individual content was unreal.

11:45 is the US press honestly comparing Sony buying out small developers with ActivisionBlizzard - the biggest third party out there at the time of purchase? 🤦‍♂️

If Sony keeps porting their exclusives to PC then no its over. PS5 still has the potential to out sell PS2 but its not looking likely with PC porting. 1,000+ dislikes from salty PC, Nintendo, and Microsoft fans😂😂 . Jim Ryan you could have take PS5 to a whole new level. You're a legend in PlayStation but PC Porting and Japan Studio closing hurts.

The PlayStation is turning 30?! Damn I feel old now….

Sony and Microsoft fell into their own trap, which is investing only in the visuals of games, leaving fun in the background. They need to spend millions to develop a single game, taking years to finish. This has become a snowball effect. A game doesn't need to be photorealistic, in 4K or have ray tracing to be enjoyable. Nintendo is swimming in money because the focus is on fun and graphics are just a complement.

2:15 for a moment I thought he was gonna start rapping 😂

PS2 will always be my favorite console. It introduced me to socom, thus introducing me to online gaming...good times, good times.

Nothing says winning like revising earnings down, studios bleeding money, and not expanding the user base beyond what was achieved 20 years ago with the ps2.

0:02 The PlayStation has been instrumental in bringing to life iconic video game franchises like Spider-Man, God of War, and Final Fantasy. 2:24 The PlayStation's shift to disc-based gaming with the PlayStation marked a significant turning point in the gaming industry. 5:24 The PlayStation 2 became the best-selling video game console of all time, with over 155 million units sold. 6:03 The PlayStation 3 faced challenges due to its initially high price point and difficulty in development, but bounced back with exclusive games like Uncharted and Killzone. 7:26 The PlayStation 4's launch marked a resurgence for Sony, outselling the Xbox One and focusing on bringing a great gaming experience to users. 9:19 Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard raised concerns about exclusivity in gaming, with Sony negotiating to ensure franchises like Call of Duty remained available on PlayStation platforms. 15:08 Sony has ventured into the non-gaming space by converting its iconic IP into movies and TV shows, aiming to expand its intellectual property within its systems. 16:00 Despite the success of the PlayStation brand, the gaming industry has faced challenges, including job cuts and fundamental changes impacting game creation and gameplay experiences.

From the first Twisted Metal to Gran Tusimo 7... My heart belongs to Sony and Playstation

I switched from Playstation to PC gaming and realized just how durable Xbox controllers are in comparision to Playstation controllers. The subscription fees for online multiplayer gaming on consoles isn't something I care to deal with so COD Warzone on PC works great for me. Funny how their anti-cheat system is hyper-focused on PC's when it's actually the console players that cheat.

And still, they are laying off people and squeezing the studios like crazy. Bad timing for this, regardless of the anniversary

Every gamer is different. I prefer a Nintendo switch because the games are a little bit more friendly for me. I’m not into a lot of violent gory complex video games. I like the fun Mario and Zelda and just dance games that’s something that I don’t get from PlayStation but to each their own, I think that if you are mature, hard-core gamer, PlayStation is the best thing for you.

As a person that owned a few video games stores in the early 1990s for around 12 + years it’s great to see that nothing has changed except for the graphics. Which is the best console, which is the best selling console, which produces the best games, which is the best games, etc? One thing that has changed and is very bad for the consumer is going to the subscription model where the customer never owns the content.

This isn't really a good thing for Sony. What will happen is that they'll just let the success go to their head and they'll just become arrogant and think that their customers will take whatever slop they feed them

Sony isn't beating Nintendo. I would I even say that they don't really compete since Nintendo has a slightly different audience

Let us not forget that a PS2 was cheaper to own than a DVD player back in the day, so many people bought a PS2 for that reason. Nintendo on the other hand are just a gaming company, they don’t have many devisions such as Sony and Microsoft

The real issue here is that this company’s are charging full price for a digital version of a game Someone need to bring that up and talk about it more

yeah I don't think the ps5 is ever beating the switch

Twisted Metal anyone?

lmao beat.... nintendo has more units sold in the world....

Too bad the stock price hasn’t signified this.

I doubt this.

This video should've came out five years ago. Sony is now having financial problems and are trying to find ways to get more money.

It all started during the SNES since Sony build the audio chip for the SNES, then the SNES CD add-on to try something since Sega had the Sega CD. Nintendo grew nervous with the CD add-on since Sony might use this to try to get into the video game market, so Nintendo did a behind the back deal with Phillips (Sony’s rival) for development of the CD-i which we know how that ended. Sony went to Sega (after the failed partnership with Nintendo)to work together Sega of America and Tom Kalinske agreed, but Hayao Nakayama and Sega of Japan turned the idea down since they thought it was a stupid idea and said that Sony doesn’t know how to make hardware. So Sony decided to go solo and released the PS1 which outsold the N64 and the Saturn giving the middle finger to both Nintendo and Sega and the rest is history

0:50 "series 10" lol smh

Ive never been a big gammer though I do enjoy playing from time to time. Going from a ps3 to a ps5 a few months ago, this will be the Last console I buy. Ive played it maybe 5 times in the last 3 months. The cost to play now days is ridiculous! Its also far to complicated unless your a gamer nerd! Much funner when you put in a disc, wait 30 seconds to load then you play.

Recents news doesn't say what you are saying.

Stupid journalists at it again.

When CNBC says disks are not gonna go anywhere it means that cloud computing and streaming games going to be the new norm 😂

This is objectively not true

If it weren't for the fact that I'm a gamer on all platforms, I would really believe this title.

Videos like this to me usually means a gaming company is going downhill and going away when the history is being recapped.

I still have the PS2 with me. Loads of memories with my younger brother and friends, lot of friendly banter and rivalries. What an age it was. The 8Mb memory card, that was mega at that time and now it is just pale in comparison. Hoping to own a PS5 soon

So you completely ignored that Nintendo is crushing both Sony and Microsoft this generation, and are experiencing mass layoffs

So... how their table has turned now.

If you’re owned by a major third party publisher, you’re not an independent studio…. You’re owned by a parent company…..

how? getting cnbc to advertise

Playing on consoles is not the same as it was in the 90's and 2000's. It's more practical to just build a good gaming PC today.

Nintendo has far outsold both consoles combined just in hardware. Not even saying this as a fanboy, this is misleading to investors and is completely wrong in writing. 3 weeks ago you guys posted a video about Sony cutting their sales forecast for the PS5???? PS5 hardware is still sold at a loss, Nintendo’s is not. Nintendo isn’t branched off into other avenues so their EPS is fully focused unlike Sony’s.

PS2 had the best run, because that time DVD players are expensive as well and PS2 can also be a DVD player if you want to take a break from gaming. Also, PS2 is the last console which had bootleg DVDs, no in game purchases, no endless updates and downloads, each game is only 4 to 6 gigs in size, simple controls of games like PS1 and 16 bit before it and it's enough for hardcore or casual gamers. PS3 started big sized games, updates, complicated mechanics and controls of games, no more bootleg discs and higher retail price

The best seller was PS2, PSP and PS4, should have just release games for them and keep the library at Cloud

The market is set. Create a underpowered tablet, low res screen and no media apps. Make sure the console does 15fps through 30 fps, with some off chance 60fps. Make color full games like princess peach and you win. No one wants a powerhouse with beautiful graphics, and 4k support with all the media apps. No one wants haptic feedback or adaptive triggers. People want small cramped joycons with drift. That's how to win. Nintendo is the winner 🏆

With a title like this, it really feels like this would've been better suited for when the PS4 was still the hottest selling console in the last generation prior to the Switch's release. Otherwise this whole just ends up feeling like a biased advertisement for PlayStation and Sony even when it's at a time where they've had a lot of scrutiny put on them because of their business decisions in the last few months alone.

9:56 The answer is "Jim Flying Lying Ryan". It's how his legacy will be remembered. 🎶Exposed, where are your parents, you're exposed!🎵🎶

The console will never die

I’m looking forward to seeing where the PlayStation goes from the 5. I have a PS5, but I rarely go to it, since the majority of the PS5 games have been subpar. I go for my PS4.

Just a friendly reminder to you gamers. When you buy a game online you dont own it outright. Buy the physical copy. Save yourself problems down the road

I was a huge Final Fantasy fan so PlayStation was always my favorite console. Not only did the PS2 have the best games, and a DVD player, I could still play original PS1 games on it too. That was amazing back then.

Thanks ❤ Jim Ryan my youth was filled with amazing games great consoles and left in great standing

Sony(Ken Kutaragi) gave game creators the hardware to make their dreams come true, but its the Developers who helped make PlayStation a household name.

CNBC doing fluff pieces now that playstation news as been overwhelmingly negative over the past few months? If you are a sucker and investing in a company with poor foresight then enjoy watching your money burn with Sony. P.S. Good job spending 3 billion on bungie. Real big brains out there on the board at playstation.

The video delves into the 30-year history of the PlayStation brand, highlighting its iconic gaming franchises, hardware design strengths, and massive success in the gaming industry. It discusses the evolution of PlayStation consoles, the importance of exclusive content, and the shift towards digital downloads and cloud gaming. Additionally, it touches on Sony's acquisition of game development studios, forays into non-gaming entertainment, and the challenges faced by the gaming industry.

Damn I am old , I remember being a young kid maybe four or five playing the 1 , then gta 3 with the ps2 , then the 3 , then 4 , now the 5.

Wow the last five or so minutes reads like an actual press release.

They are not beating Nintendo at all.

Cloud gaming future is tenuous at best. Games have several times more dynamic systems running simultaneously, from animations, modeling, sound design, graphics, AI, and the list just goes on and on than ever before, and internet is no where near strong enough, fast enough, or safe enough to do that on a mass scale. SSD to cpu and gpu is much faster, safer, and stronger than server networks using a long distance broadband connection to cpu and gpu.

Boomer journalists understand video game basics challenge (impossible)

They changed the title and still got it wrong. Maybe try a 3rd time?

CNBC editing the title like no one would notice..

PS1 Era was the best. So many different types of games.

Okay but like gamers the world over need to pressure Sony into taking a possible resurrection of the PSP a lot more seriously. Imagine a proper competitor to the Switch.

I don’t think so. As much as PS is winning in sales, they are still on par or below MS and Nintendo in terms of profit. Even right now, Sony is caught up in a lot of debt and conflict with their practices.

I love how people are reading the title and immediately start meat-riding Nintendo. Crazy world we live in.....

If they’ll keep putting out great exclusives. That’s what matters

Three glorious decades! I was there since the OG FF7 right on through to playing rebirth on the excellent PS5 pro Sony, we online gamers salute you, even over Microsoft

It depends on technology evolution.

lol, they must have needed a good story to boost positive publicity? There's almost NO reason to even own a Playstation unless it's the only thing your friends play on. Consoles will be a thing of the past really soon.

Great questions at 10:20.

It will be interesting watching this video back in 15-20 years time :P when the ps5,xbox series s/x , nintendo switch generation is nostalgic

Have you done any research. It’s the worst time of Sony’s playstation yet. It was not able to achieve its projected sales, no new triple a titles till 2025.

Oh yeah? Their 6% profit margin and recent 10% drop in stock price this month says otherwise

From PS1 to PS5 As long as the company keeps creating I’ll keep buying

dude really live in future he alreeady got "Xbox Series 10" that thing must have RTX 6070TI in that thing.

Sony IS NOT beating Nintendo lmao

I cant believe its been 30 years already. I never had the ps1, but I had the second, third, fourth and fifth. Nintendo 64 was my ps1 back in the day and I personally preferred it, so I wasn't even mad that I didnt get to have a ps1 especially knowing the ps2 was backwards compatible

Soo Much Nostalgia in This video 💯🎮

Laughs in Nintendo 😂

Keep your hands off our games bruh

We all remember Atari. There is never a guarantee that a video game brand will stay on top. Nintendo, PlayStation, etc. are only as good as their latest exclusive top selling game. Hardware is secondary.

My first ever PS was the PSP 3000 I got back in 2009 Good times

They really haven't "beat" anyone though. Nintendo's going on 8 years with the Switch, and it's still outselling the PS5 many months (especially in Japan), while Microsoft's gaming revenue is significantly increasing due to Game Pass & PC support. Gamers like me tend to focus too much on console sales, but there's a reason Sony's reporting constant decreases in revenue & slimmer profit margins despite moving plenty of consoles. The formula of selling hardware at a loss & making up for it with software sales is becoming more & more difficult as game development has become drastically more expensive & time consuming. Just this generation alone, Sony has had to make moves likes increasing hardware prices 2 years *AFTER* launch (an unprecedented move), increasing game prices to $70, charging upgrade fees for PS5 versions of PS4 games, increasing prices of BASIC online to $80, going back on their pre-PS5 comments about "we believe in console generations" and not supporting cross-gen like Microsoft had announced (as nearly every PS5 "exclusive" was also released on PS4 up until last year), releasing games on PC, changing PS+ to a better compete with Game Pass, etc. etc. etc. This is a trend that's hit basically everyone but Nintendo, as they don't rely on cutting edge tech & prefer to sell cost-efficient hardware at a profit from day 1. They're also extremely protective of their IPs (sometimes to a detrimental extent that hurts their own fanbase), and lock everything down to their own systems. Nintendo also sits on a mountain of cash in the bank, no debt, and were recently named Japan's richest company. As a guy with a Mario profile pic, I probalby sound like a Nintendo fanboy. In reality, I'm a PC-only guy who avoids playing on Switch unless I absolutely have to. I want Sony, Nintendo & Microsoft to all succeed in their own unique ways. Game Pass is fantastic, Sony makes some extremely compelling narrative-driven games, and Nintendo has so many IPs they don't even know what do with (*cough* F-Zero *cough*). To say Sony "beat" anyone is just ignorance to the state of the industry though. In pure unit sales, they definitely beat Xbox, but that's obviously not Microsoft's M.O. anymore. Though if you want to go by that metric, Sony still isn't the leader, so it's a moot point.

I'm glad Jim Ryan is retiring. He's so full of nonsense. Reporter: Why were you against the Activision Microsoft deal. Ryan: It was because of Call of Duty. Reporter: Why didn't you sign the Call of Duty deal then in the beginning? Ryan: Don't ask me logical questions!!

10:08 Sony has never bought a video game publisher. They have only ever bought video game developers, and only developers that they had partnered with many times already anyway. It's not the same thing at all as Microsoft buying Activision which was the biggest video game publisher. edit: I stand corrected after chatting with @cryptocsguy9282. Sony has bought a publisher before, but it was a very long time ago for a much smaller price; Psygnosis for ~$26 million in 1993, the equivalent of ~$56 million in 2024 adjusted for inflation.
