Maybe they're just all empty boxes.

Yoshida was tweeting the shit outta this game like he did with Fall Guys. I'm sure they had some agreement/partnership.

So Sony is selling directly to these cunts. I dont see how they get them from any retailers.

Their games arent on Xbox so why would they give away something they cant force their employees to put money back in the company with?

 

[harmny]

1500 employees? Wow that's a lot

 

[Great Hair]

Don't be mad. If it wasn't with them, it'd be with scalpers

But what if the 500 employees are all ..... ;

How the f*** did they manage to get that many PS5, when Sony hasnt launched yet the PS5 officially in China (til march? 2021?).

So I was looking this up to see if you separated out Sony's gaming sector from their overall revenue (keeping in mind, revenue means very little, it's net profits and gains that matter). Their fiscal year just ended so we don't have full 2020 figures yet, but going on 2019 they made a total of 77 billion dollars in revenue. They generated 20.84 billion of that from their gaming sector (the biggest sector in the whole company, revenue wise). 12 billion was from PSN subs.

The entire company overall, however, only profited 5.4 billion. So of that 77 billion in revenue, 71.6 billion was operating costs. That's a 7% profit rate.

Nintendo's net income for 2019 was roughly 1.8 billion. With 11 billion in total revenue. That means Nintendo's operating costs is 9.2 billion (that year). That's a 16% net profit rate.

[tillbot8]

[Silver Wattle]

[JackNightblade]

Genshin Impact bought like $200 worth of gems all by itself when i had it and the customer support told me they dont know how to issue a refund and to take it up with my bank instead

 

[Moonjt9]

Looks like bots were used. Unless they specifically made a deal with the manufacturers. That’s an absurd amount of items.
