whatever I feel like said:
We've literally seen their finances from the Insomniac leak, those big games make money.

Those were literally the type of slides they prepare for execs that have no clue how things even work at their own company so that they can keep their own jobs, and if you notice when you look closer, they avoid any mention of actual profits. It's all things like "projected profits at X sales", without mentioning those need to be full-price sales and not bundles, or only including development costs and not marketing costs and claiming the game made $50 million profit if you ignore the $100 million spent on marketing, or not accounting for the share of revenue of say, spiderman, that is owed to disney.

Wait, they really did another price increase? I thought this was all speculation on how Sony could shoot themselves in the foot, not that they would actually do it :story:

They're really that retarded. The cope is blaming tariffs...except the price increase is EU, UK and AUS/NZ but not US.
 
Well shit, I picked a good time to jump to PC.

Sure, I bought a prebuilt, and Leafistani Money means it was even more overpriced, but at least I can now largely ignore Sony’s stupidity, and just indulge in Steam Sales and Piracy.

I’ve said it before, I swear every division of Sony looks at the others being retarded, and just goes “Hold My Beer.” I used to joke that Playstation sales used to prop up Sony Pictures, but what’s propping up Playstation now?

Give me a fucking killzone.

Killzone sucked, the only positive I can give it is the aesthetic. Someone needs to License Jin-Roh/Panzer Cop and make a shooter in the same vain as that Robocop game. Imagine mowing down commie faggots in a game with this artstyle. Kino.

This could very well be the start of PC becoming the dominant system in gaming. Sony keeps trying to out-screw themselves with increasingly bad decisions, Xbox has basically given up, and Nintendo exclusives can only go so far with overpriced systems and games. Handheld PCs are becoming more and more common, and Valve has a golden opportunity with Fremont to step in and make a “console” that’s (significantly?) cheaper and more powerful than a Switch 2 with a much bigger library of cheaper games. They just need to make sure it’s easily accessible - both in terms of how you purchase it and how easy it is to use for someone who’s new to PC gaming.

I'd be satisfied with a collection, especially if it includes Mercenary.

Casuals will still mostly gravitate towards consoles. Valve could capitalize on the price increase Sony is doing and release Steam Deck 2 without restricting it to be sold exclusively through their site, and actually advertise the thing, but I guess they're not going to.
 
I guess TL;DR, Sony will be fine as long as they remain the default AAA box for normalfags and the fortnite, fifa, roblox, genshit, and cod lootbox/microtransaction dosh keeps covering for rising costs. All of their backup plans however have failed though, and their attempts at finding a backup have only hastened the moment when costs eclipse even the $9 BILLION in what is essentially free money they take off the top of all this monetization each year.

Sony's saving grace for this generation has absolutely been that, as the rest of their attempts at value-adds have failed - so much so that the highest compliment that could be paid to Sony's higher ups this generation was their willingness to can most of said attempts after the concord disaster (although. apparently not Marathon which seems to be shaping up to be a flop in its own right).
 
If marathon flops after Druckman and Hulst cancelled the most popular requested online game; TLoU: Factions, then my sides will fly into orbit.

People forget that the Xbone actually had a pretty decent set of games for its launch window with Killer Instinct, D4, and Titanfall.

Titanfall was on 360 (genuine fucking miracle that even happened), and yeah people forget about the Xbone having alright launch titles because everyone was obsessed with the whole used game DRM thing.

It definitely is. The people that would have picked it up would look past it because it's nothing like the original Marathon games for Mac, and most others would look past it since Bungie has shat the bed with Destiny 2 last i checked.

From my understanding, the Destiny playerbase are nearly indistinguishable from crackheads and are eager to suffer just so they can complain about something. So Marathon potentially might not completely flop but crawl along the floor like a cripple without a wheelchair. It's like World of Warcraft, where it should have died by now but there is just too many retards that hate the game and complain constantly but will never leave.
