You mean Nintendo? Coz they are leader based on Switch sales every month.Pocket change for the gaming leader.
They don't.They have almost $45Bi in cash to do whatever they want. I expect way more.
Well, get ready for disappointment. Word was that, prior to Microsoft buying Bethesda, Sony was looking to buy a timed exclusivity window for Starfield for the PlayStation 5. That wouldn't be cheap. So, I suspect the majority of the third party spending that was aimed at the launch year will be on marketing deals, console bundles, DLC timed exclusivity, and a small number of timed exclusives. You might get another PlayStation All Stars, or, if you're lucky, another Bloodbourne sized title - and that's best case scenario.hopefully no more timed exclusive or 3rd party Ip exclusive, Sony needs to be independent with their own IP, dont wanna repeat the MLB mistake again

They have 12 first party studios, they need heavy third party support to even begin to compete with Xbox. For them to own the IP it's going to be very expensive working with a third party. They need more first party studios it's really quite simple, 12 compared to 23 is laughable when they are market leader.hopefully no more timed exclusive or 3rd party Ip exclusive, Sony needs to be independent with their own IP, dont wanna repeat the MLB mistake again

Something tells me that ignoring studio actual size, ignoring organic growth in SIE WWS Studios , and how these studios operate efficiently and share effectively is another “variable 10 TFLOPS <<<< Fixed 12 TFLOPS” level oversold miscalculation. Especially once you factor the games these studios are making (see w Ghost of Tsushima or a Spider-man level game).They have 12 first party studios, they need heavy third party support to even begin to compete with Xbox.

Ryan just keeps on with his blinkers on shutting studios and losing contracts with long-term third party partners.
Returnal, Firewalk FPS, Abandoned, Demon’s Souls. 329 Million is nothing for multiple exclusive games. They need more first party studios. 329 m are good for 2/3 years not an entire generation.It looks like more 3rd party exclusive games are coming. Returnal is just the start.
We shall see my friend after both lay their cards on the table later this year. I don't see Sony coming out favourably in comparison if I'm honest, but I'm sure both companies will have some great titles.Something tells me that ignoring studio actual size, ignoring organic growth in SIE WWS Studios , and how these studios operate efficiently and share effectively is another “variable 10 TFLOPS <<<< Fixed 12 TFLOPS” level oversold miscalculation.

I am not happy about what happened to JAPAN Studio and the titles they provided (I have always supported those studios not just paid lip service and forum outrage after the fact unlike some I guess…), but supporting the good studios sometimes means showing that you can make those painful decisions with parts of the org which needs to be at least reset.
Maybe, who knows. But it’s not a lot of money. You have to be very efficient or I don’t know what else.Playstation money has more value than xbox money. in other words: Playstation can do more stuff with less
We shall see indeed once the generation is over. I win either way . It is also a matter of taste: some of the Sony games are good enough to keep me engaged and having fun for longer and I prefer that to more smaller games.We shall see my friend after both lay their cards on the table later this year.

Is this feelings or facts?They don't.
Sony has about 45 billion in cash on hand, they have more cash than Tencent and also very low debt.They don't.

That's the mantra for Sony after zenimax acquisitionI wish I could round up all the GAF posters who use their term of the day; ‘organic growth’, and give them the bolt.
Internal growth is okay to a point but it won't get you the type of instantaneous growth and possibilities some acquisitions can.That's the mantra for Sony after zenimax acquisition
Rounding people up, so nice. We wuv you too Benny . (Oh and btw some people’s work could have “creating teams” as part of what they do and/or they have seen what adding tons of people too quickly can do or the productivity of well matched people that fit the already present team although you ramp up more slowly…)I wish I could round up all the GAF posters who use their term of the day; ‘organic growth’, and give them the bolt.
So, Sony is a bank in your analogy? That’s pretty cool.owning a mortgage.
Jim Ryan has invested $4Bn since 2019. He has sacrificed short-term profitability to expand internal operations.That's the mantra for Sony after zenimax acquisition
Could have been invested into first-party instead, like Japan Studio.
Bullshit strategy to moneyhat temporary exclusives, imho.
No, read again...The money for timed exclusives
I wish I could round up all the GAF posters who use their term of the day; ‘organic growth’, and give them the bolt.
That $329M figure was contracted in just 7 months (April to December). That's not necessarily all the amount that they are going to spend this entire generation.Returnal, Firewalk FPS, Abandoned, Demon’s Souls. 329 Million is nothing for multiple exclusive games. They need more first party studios. 329 m are good for 2/3 years not an entire generation.
Exactly. They can allot more money per year. The launch line up for PS5 were mostly 2nd party games. Those 2nd party games were contracted years in advance. All of the timed exclusives, 2nd party games, and partnerships are born of contracts of prior years.That $329M figure was contracted in just 7 months (April to December). That's not necessarily all the amount that they are going to spend this entire generation.
Maybe to spend over $10B on M&A for games doesn't make any sense for Sony and it was smarter to grow organically the internal studios that perform well, and to make some acquisition like Insomniac. Maybe MS did it as a desperate move to try to catch up the distance Sony had with them regarding 1st party games.Internal growth is okay to a point but it won't get you the type of instantaneous growth and possibilities some acquisitions can.
I mean, the Minecraft acquisition by MSFT was a masterstroke.... Sony are just terrible at that type of stuff... who did they buy years ago to get into mobile? Fucking Ericsson. What a waste of money.
Yet they didn't open their pocketbook for Minecraft, Zenimax or Roblox.....
They must have a crowd of dimwits working in their M&A section. Or the upper management is just really really bad at that stuff.
And that is coming from a PlayStation fan!

What is this? the playstation warrior manifesto ?Jim Ryan has invested $4Bn since 2019. He has sacrificed short-term profitability to expand internal operations.
PlayStation Studios will publish more games than previous generation, be it internal or externally developed by companies with close ties.
Sony is capable of buying a mid-size publisher, if needed, but would be the last resort.
M&A tend to destroy value and yield worse results than long-planned organic growth. In other words, PlayStation, a well-oiled machine, is greater than the sum of its parts.
Ryan will back up his words on Ap 28.
Is this feelings or facts?
He ran to google and come up with nothing so now crickets. Probably brought to tears poor thingSony Cash on Hand 2010-2023 | SONY
Sony cash on hand from 2010 to 2023. Cash on hand can be defined as cash deposits at financial institutions that can immediately be withdrawn at any time, and investments maturing in one year or less that are highly liquid and therefore regarded as cash equivalents and reported with or near cash...www.macrotrends.net
It's there in black and white. It is a fact.
Are you fucking dumb?So, Sony is a bank in your analogy? That’s pretty cool.

Yeah spending 10 billion for games Xbox was already getting is a brilliant move and Sony are dumb for not doing it.Internal growth is okay to a point but it won't get you the type of instantaneous growth and possibilities some acquisitions can.

I doubt Sony have that kind of money to spend; where as MS do. MS also massively overpaid. Fallout etc games won’t generate anywhere near that revenue in 10 years; even less if it’s just going on gamepass.
Microsoft has like nothing in the pipeline outside Halo for the next 3 years. Sony will continue to run circles around them with content for quite some time.They have 12 first party studios, they need heavy third party support to even begin to compete with Xbox.
