Yeah I don't understand how it's their worst but the best profit overall. I've not enjoyed this gen so far. PS2/PS4 were my favs.Not bad for the worst generation of PlayStation
Well did you not miss the part that switch 2 wasn't even available for 5 years of the ps5 life meaning you couldn't play most aaa games that move ps5s on the Switch . Now switch 2 is coming 5 years later you think those people gonna get a switch 2 for late current gen games thst have been selling ps5 for years. Its a totally different market.
Sir, the PS2 was also a cheap but good DVD player and that was very helpful.
Did good based on what? it sold 28k in japan in 2 weeks and the uk charts its already number 17 it might sell life time 500k lol hardly why people are buying the switch 2.
They sold their music division, what?! They owned like 50% of the industry or something crazy.
Sony music is a reason why Sony Corp hiking the net profit outlook.
So after Horizon Fortnite edition was announced - it think my comment about Sony first party being irrelevant kind of aged well
About which part? Definitely serious. Sales are mostly flat, operating profit is way up. So they are making way bigger margins. But they aren't releasing anything interesting. Instead of just doing the "laugh" thing, why not contribute? You know ... on a "discussion" board. Tell me what you think.
It's cute watching them desperately trying to convince themselves that it's Bloodborne 2. They're so obsessed with "sticking it" to Sony. Sad bunch of losers.
Nah, he's right. I can happily have a switch and ps5 coexist and get a lot out of each. PS5 and Xbox are highly redundant at this point, with nearly zero reason to get the Xbox.
Maybe there's a reason the brand has so much goodwill despite your personal feelings about it?
So are you denying that Jim Ryan said to the Courts that Sony makes $1.2-$1.5 billion in revenues from COD each year? With third of that in profit.
go play Fortnite kiddo!
and yet the only one who lost money was Xbox.
If they're not dumb enough (but their marketing team has been a lot of times) they should do it in the next State of Play to reach more users.
What you even talking about.Maybe there's a reason the brand has so much goodwill despite your personal feelings about it?
Ok, so according to you, COD is already done, and will never recover, will never be the top game every year.
The people who would typically buy COD have moved on to other games and are playing those instead. There is no world where those people will be buying Battlefield/Arc Raiders in addition to COD (should COD manage to ever not be the same recycled shit again), that's not how it works when that crowd only buy 1-2 games per year.
So no, in this current real world scenario where COD's numbers continue to fall year after year, the only party who suffers is Microsoft since they are the ones who now own Activision.
The other 3rd party platform holders retain the users that would otherwise have purchased COD, and they retain the dollars spent since those people will spend the money that once would have gone towards COD on other titles.
Despite your hopes and dreams for a fictional scenario where the risk is spread and has a contagion effect on the entire industry (or in particular towards Sony, which is funny in itself considering they are not the only other counterparty in such a scenario), the results prove that it is Microsoft alone who have taken on all the risk, and they are not getting any reward.
Sorry for your delusion, and sorry for your loss.
Sony lost money from the COD slump in sales. That's a fact. Just because they had other games replace that lost revenue doesn't take away anything from that fact.
My bad.
The PS3 launched $200 more expensive than the Xbox 360 and saw massive exodus of third party exclusive games plus MS started to do a lot of timed exclusive deals.
I'm guessing this was a new marching order to claim Call of Duty fall off is going to hurt PS5 because
Sony only cares about games selling on their platform. They get their 30% cut from all of them. Big sellers, small sellers, medium sellers, doesn't matter. If CoD is underperforming, then something else is probably over performing.
"We will cut off our noses to try and spite your own face, take that !!"
Well said and glad to see somebody is happy enjoying the games. People have just become extremely jaded it seems. People feel like the rising popularity of f2p/GaaS has killed their hobby and they complain about everything but there are amazing games to play every year and PS has never had a bigger library. Constant new releases, 100% PS4 BC akin to the PS2 era, and now getting almost all games like gears, Forza, Halo, etc to go with those exclusives/third parties. Indies are thriving and new studios previously unheard of are releasing top games. We even have awesome VR games we didn't have during 360/PS3 or earlier.
That's not a fact that's your assumption. If the same people who normally purchase COD went on to purchase BF6 or arc raiders (maybe both) and spend money in those games Sony didn't lose money. Your making an assumption. So I'll make an assumption that all those COD players went on to BF6 or arc raiders once again proving that the only one who lost money was Xbox.
Probably shouldn't have had MS buy them then.
