If they want to entice me, they need to:

  • open their platform
  • release interesting form factors
  • provide interesting, unique features

The Steam Deck did that, and I would happily buy a Sony handheld or something if it offered value.

But no, they instead want me to buy a locked down system that competes with my existing PC, and their sales pitch is, "buy this or you can't play these games." I don't respond well to threats of FOMO, so I'm not going to buy it. I own a Switch and a Steam Deck because they provide value I can't get elsewhere, I don't own a Playstation or an Xbox because they don't.

Gravity Rush was great and I'm disappointed no one has done anything similar since.
