    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    I wouldn't bet the farm on this certainly not based on that tweet.

    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    I wish you were better at this. Unlike most subsidiaries, Bungie is still operated by a board of directors. While Sony can disolve that board of directors if financials aren't met. The company still has a degree of independence. This is not true and if it were we'd see Helldivers on Xbox...

    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    This is not the reason why they were kept separate. They were kept separate as part of the agreement in buying Bungie and that if Bungie met financial goals they would keep their independence. Given the restructuring of Bungie some planned some likely not, you'd imagine that losing...

    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    It's a new role. You can tell by searching LinkedIn against that title. No one currently has it or has had it. People need to stop fantasizing about Concord being a bigger deal than it is. Every year you have box office bombs. It doesn't mean everyone gets fired as a result. And that isn't...

    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    I think this is a big enough initiative that it's happening one way or another. I'd imagine this is being funded by the PC ports and the intention being that future PC ports will save that 25 ish percent, particularly GaaS which have always been able to garner success outside of Steam and for...

    Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread

    Some of the low scores are laughable in their nature. Scores you'd see from games that are absolutely broken technically, but giving a game a 40 or a 50 because it is too easy is clearly showing a level of bias. There are kids games released all the time that are easy as hell that don't get 40s...

    Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread

    chicken or the egg You have to start building out a library for kids if you're going to get parents to buy the console for them. This game will probably end up a 75 on metacritic, but do you know what doesn't really matter for kids games? Metacritic ratings. Price and visibility is more...

    Discussion Phil Spencer: There are no “red lines” for which Xbox games will come to PlayStation

    I mean this is surprising to no one who is paying attention. The whole slate is going to go to PlayStation as they focus more on being a software publisher. Could they come out with a handheld to compete with the Steam Deck? Sure... I guess... but I also think it'll be a short lived experiment...

    Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread

    Hilarious to see people angry/surprised that this is a kids game... I think the bigger head scratcher is why is a kids game 60 bucks and I'm guessing it's that price because of the licensing agreements between Sony and Lego. Otherwise sensibility would have put this game around 40 dollars and...

    News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business

    My big takeaways They have an entire team dedicated to a PC App: "You will be a key member of our PC app team" They're specifically looking to build out the ecosystem, which goes beyond console: "enhance the PlayStation ecosystem" They're actively looking to expand Monthly Active Users as part...

    Playstation Sony is teasing December 3rd, 2024, in their newest TV ad

    It's a bit complicated. For example, I wish Ghost of Yotei wasn't coming out next year. I think the franchise could have used more time in the oven. I also think announcing games right now could get caught up in the gravity of Grand Theft Auto 6, but I also think that announcing games now can...

    Discussion This year PlayStation has a chance to break new ground at TGA 2024

    We should be getting nominees this week or next week. Very much looking like Astro Bot, FF7 Rebirth, Metaphor, Like A Dragon, and Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. Outside chance Helldivers gets nominated. Dragon's Dogma 2 and Dragon Age are possibilities as well.

    Going to try and parse your writing as dog shit as it is, I'm assuming English is not your first language, so I'll try to not belabor that, but my advice to use is run this through a word processor or AI to clean it up. Sony needs cash flow, which many on this site don't quite understand. What...

    Playstation Sony is teasing December 3rd, 2024, in their newest TV ad

    I generally agree with you but I think if they do nothing on this pretty big anniversary, that it'll be a pretty significant indictment of Herman Hulst. Not only is this the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, but it's also the midway point for the PS5 and there are simply too many studios who we...

    Analysis UK October 2024: #1 PS5 (-18%) , #2 NSW (-18%), #3 XBS (-17%)

    Sony sold 21.8 million units last year, which was one of their best selling years ever. They projected 18 million this year, which would still be a great year. 18 million is 82.6% of 21.8. Any month in which they are only 18 percent down in a region is not a bad month. The math isn't your...

    Playstation Sony is teasing December 3rd, 2024, in their newest TV ad

    Herman hasn't done anything for the 30th anniversary yet. Nishino did for hardware and during the state of play Hulst was absent. The only reasons I doubt this are a) we haven't heard any solid rumors to back this up and b) the game awards are right after which means you wouldn't really show...
