PS5 needs a price cut, like a big one. I know on the face of it being close to 5 million sold is good, but the software sales are not reflecting what the installed base should be capable of.

They are doing price cuts(at least in europe), but not permanent ones.

Seems like a really bad idea tbh.

People will catch on, why should they buy at full price when it's probably gonna get discounted again.

They can't go the entire year doing this.

3+ years into the generation, no price cuts and some regions are actually paying more for a ps5 is really gonna put a damper on things.

The failure of Grand Link Blue on PS5 really was the foreshadowing for FF 7R.

They really need a hybrid in Japan

Translation: “I’m wrong as usual and scared to get destroyed again!”
This is a sales thread about Japan, meaning = I was referring to PS5 sales in Japan, which is why I said they need a Hybrid in Japan.

Now the only thing that's been destroyed is obviously the amount of functional brain less you got left.

Granblue sales in Japan weren’t a failure though 😂 only a crackhead would think that.

And they need a hybrid? 😂😂 So upend your entire platform and development process just to do slightly better in ONE region? 🤣 I don’t think you thought that through, I’m not the one with destroyed brain functionality

The game didn't sell that well in Japan on PlayStation, only a crackhead would deny reality but then again given some of the things you say it makes sense.

And yes a Hybrid would help them out in Japan.

A relatively niche jrpg coming off of a relatively niche fighting game selling 70k first week is a failure? Tekken 8, a much bigger IP, only did 20k 😂 and it came right after P3 Reload, another much bigger game which only did 90k. This man just loves to hate!!

Weren't you just bragging it sold a million first week but now claims it's niche...

Make it make sense, you're clearly bored AF.
