Yeah ofc they are not the real numbers. These douchebags are backtracking because they exposed Sony's embarrassing misunderstanding in investing a horrendous sum in Firewalk. This will mark Sony forever. Anyway it's all to cover thid embarrassment and to hide Hermen Hulst's incompetence. Hulst you're not escaping your fate, big brother Sony is watching you!

Hulst is already in silent mode. You haven't heard from him in anything to do with PS5 pro.

Hulst speaks like once or twice a year. The PS5 Pro was literally just announced lol

Jesus Christ these people are ridiculous...

Nishino didn't even speak until that ad for the 30th anniversary edition product line which was a week after the reveal of the PS5 Pro. This is a hardware push. Hardware is something that Nishino owns as part of platform.

Herman Hulst will speak when it relates to software as part of the studio business group and I'm sure the studio business group has their own 30th anniversary plans.

No one is embarrassed by being wrong anymore. It's a real problem. People no longer even care if they're wrong. They're confidently wrong all the time and will act as if nothing even happened.

On some forums its even looked down up to quote someone's old statements or bring up old tweets, because the past is the past apparently.

Of all the people and outlets I don't believe, Kotaku is the second last one I would believe. Philocchio is of course the one I wouldn't believe the most.

So instead you believe a guy who himself prefaced the story with the fact that he isn't a journalist and is someone who has gotten things terribly wrong in the past.

You believe him because you WANT to believe him...

This is a cognitive dissonance.
