Are those figures sold to customers, or is it Sony shipping millions of units to French warehouses and declaring a victory to try and entice idiots into panic buying the console?
Sony drunk the woke Kool-Aid and started believing woke was the future. Druckman is a high charisma low intelligence low wisdom build that could persuade but not deliver.
For all the cancerous effect people like cuckman have on soyny, it can't be overstated how big of a disastrous influence he's had on modern western gaming in general. He didn't just originate the ugly, completely non feminine female design fad, he championed it. Does nobody else remember the huge dev/pub trade event where he gave a presentation that started off with a full huge stage screen image of Samus, Cortana and another popular female gaming character, with the title "How NOT to create female characters"? (to standing ovation) Just around tLoU2. He's the one that raised up the idea that feminine and especially attractive female characters are a social justice crime. The absolute gall of literally showing examples of other peoples beautiful creations and telling everyone they are bad.... because. This isn't just his style, it's his agenda!
Sadly, the longer he is able to infect the industry, the more damage he does. As an artistically bankrupt little troll, propped up by his right think politics at just the right time. Who used that power to strong arm actual talented and dedicated artists/creators, out of their games and studios. He ruined at least one female ND dev's career if you remember. He stole tLoU off it's creators and turned it into his own pet social/political project. (literally "own the straight/normal/male chuds") That's been his entire personality as a so-called creator from day one. He has no talent or serious interest in gaming outside of his agenda. Reoccurring bottom of the artistic barrel themes like "revenge/war = bad" is proof of that. It is a mistake to even think of him as an industry hack. He's less than that. The sooner he crashes out the better for everyone.

His time of influence has almost run out. His time in gaming will soon run out too. I think it will largely depend on how big a flop Intergalactic is but considering no one likes the characters/story/anything else about it and there is no nostalgia for it, it will be a massive failure.

I am willing to bet that the crowd was paid to be there. No way you throw some women in gaming icons and try to pretentiously declare that this is not how to design a woman.

Having a cool easter egg that most fans will never see in a regular playthrough is a lot better than having it be the last 20 percent of the game for everyone. Imagine if you ended Halo 3 by having Chief's clothes blasted off and he was running around in his underwear.
edit: And then did the same fucking thing in every single game released after it.
I don't know why they would. The idea of buying a console for exclusives is long dead. People buy consoles for ease of use, not the exclusive games themselves now. The PC market is pretty segregated anyway. It's within sony's interest to port their games to PC, because it's not like PC users are going to pay almost 1000 for a console just to play 1-2 games.
It's also segregated by generation. People under 30 are way less likely to buy a console in general. The ideal zoomer/alpha gaming experience is either handheld or in a gaming chair in front of a PC.
As opposed to Samus showing up in a bikini at the end of Metroid and Super Metroid?
Samus has always been sexy female space bounty hunter. That's a core part of what she is in terms of tropes. I don't think "most Metroid fans" consider that cringey unless you're talking about "most" of the "fans" who decided to get into the series in the 2010s.

Remember when Sony just let you scan in your face using the EyeToy to scan in your face to make a monstrosity in games like THUG2 and Annual Sports Game? Too many White male characters will be made, I guess.
It's going to be like the nintendo fanboys that swore off buying the Switch 2 only to be the first in line on day 1 release. Sonyponies will buy the PS6 even if they say they wont at this moment.
At this point, I’m half convinced Sony’s current hope is that the Air Force decides it wants to try making a new Condor Cluster and making a super computer out of PS5’s. Lord knows there’s enough PS5’s rotting in warehouses…
Shit, they might get a discount if they offer to name it after Concord/Marathon…

I don't know how that's going to work when the PS5 doesn't even have something like OtherOS ala the PS3. Also Sony has to figure out how to do it without giving it to the plebs in any capacity (including not having thier sperate ips or update server leaked)
Now that Mario & Sonic have both been proven as successes on the big screen, do you guys think Sony might ever try another crack at using their children’s IPs for animated films?
The response for Fox in the Mario Galaxy Movie really makes me wish they would give Ratchet & Clank a second chance, with hopefully a better script. Ratchet’s got that similar cute cool guy appeal that I think audiences would be more susceptible to nowadays then 2016.
Sly is another one that just seems to begging for the film treatment. The Bad Guys was practically a spiritual Sly film. The current Spider-Verse animation trend Sony pioneered would also work wonders with the brand, giving it that perfect comic look.
Edit: Would also throw in Jak & Daxter, but that one is allegedly already in development with Tom Holland as Jak and Chris Pratt as Daxter. It will be a live action film, which, why?

"Moore's Law is Death" in his latest video provides information about the leaked chips that the PS6 variants will use and confirms that the PS6 Portable is real.
He also provides educated estimates on pricing based on materials and tariffs. He expects the console and handheld versions of the PS6 to launch no later than 2027.
TL;DW:
PS6 Portable "Canis" :
- High performance Zen 6: 4 cores - 8 threads dedicated to running games.
- Low power Zen 6: 2 cores - exclusively for the OS and background tasks.
- 16 RDNA5 compute units ~ 1.2 GHz in handheld mode and 1.65 GHz docked mode.
- High bandwidth 192-bit LPDDR5X memory
- 135mm² chip die using 3nm fabrication ( very small chip, low cost-high yield silicon, 10~15 Watt TDP)
- Backwards compatible with PS4 and PS5.
- Micro SD slot. M.2 SSD slot, Haptic Feedback, dual microphones, touchscreen.
Other notes regarding the device:
- 55% to 75% Rasterization performance of a PS5.
- 130% to 265% Raytracing performance of a PS5 ( RDNA 5 has a massive RT uplift over RDNA 4 )
- FSR4 support of Canis will provide real-world performance higher than the PS5 but only on games patched for Canis. Non-patched, no-RT games would perform lower.
- Will greatly outperform the Xbox Ally X. RDNA 5 has 40-50% more raster per CU than RDNA 3.5, faster CUs and 60% more bandwidth.
- Estimated price range according to MLID's opinion: $499-$699 - Also MLID is almost certain the screen will be OLED due to a new, cheaper "ink jet" manufacturing process.
PS6 Console "Orion" :
- 280mm² chip die, 160 Watt TDP ( Sony wants a smaller and more efficient chip, the PS6 will be a smaller console. No more bulky boxes.)
- High performance Zen6: 8 cores - 16 threads for games ( 1 disabled ).
- Low power Zen6: 2 cores for OS and background tasks.
- 54 RDNA5 CUs ( 2 disabled ).
- 160-bit 32 Gbps GDDR7.
MLID estimates PS6 Orion to be between $699 - $999.
As a side note he mentions that it is better to wait for 2027 and buy a PS6 then rather than a PS5 Pro now. The power uplift will be significant and the price to performance is far better due to the PS5 Pro being grossly overpriced.
