That's precisely one of the reasons I mentioned in my original post. Along with a lower PS5 install base and people actually having less money to spare in today's economic environment.

It’s too soon to tell though. We’ll get a better picture by the end of the year. It's just an assumption.

I think if they lowered the basic price for standard editions, it wouldn't hurt too much and the quantity of buyers (especially being digital and having low to no cost associated) would make more sense than the current pricing.

Of course they'd have to crunch the numbers and their data could be off...

They should try it for one or two titles and see how it goes though IMO

Get some real world data.

Ever since jimbo gone pc port news seems to be slowing down wonder why 🤔
Good, fuck PC ports.

Sad about PSVR...hope they don't forget it moving forward. Hate when Sony do that.
Too soon to say plus horizon fw pc is coming early next year. Next earnings report should be interesting, hopefully we get some PSVR2 updates and clear plans for their pc strategy. And maybe updates on their new CEO

VR quietly killed off.

I appreciate the investment in the tech but not surprised one bit consumers give mostly zero fucks.

But what were their expectations for this really? We’re still far away from VR having a user friendly interface. Goofy helmets are not the way.

Calm down, they just bought a VR studio last year. RE4 VR exclusively soon too

They can try whatever they want. No one is spending hundreds of more dollars on a headset to play some on-rails horizon mountain climbing shovelware.

That’s still what VR mostly is. If Sony is really hurting and wanting to tighten the purse … it serves them better to axe the entire vr initiative for the remainder of this gen.

It’s a giant fail. Zero consumer interest.

They changed how SIE reports their stuff:

This slide isn't SIE specific, it's for the whole Sony:

I think PS5, right now should be very close to 50 million. I hope we can get an announcement before Christmas.
Yes, very likely they'll announce the 50M milestone later this month or early December.

So, they have PS5 behind PS4 by 323K units (very specific)

Yet, PS5 is several million ahead of PS4, time aligned in fact.

Between Takashi Michozuki and VGChartz, this day has already been great for exposing so far.
You should never believe VGChartz numbers, they are only fan guesses that are always wrong. Their estimates for PS are always less than the real numbers and the estimates for MS and Nintendo always bigger than the real numbers.

Every time we see real numbers from Sony they get exposed.

So what I said the Spider-man 3 thread turned true even when some guys tried to to shutdown the discussion due “logic” lol

Spider-man 2 was the first game from Sony with a week early sales… so you had units sales from the bundle that started to sell a week early.

That inflated the day one sales.
So Sony used the day one record PR because they had the 3 days data but it was not a record for PR.

It sold less than TLOU2 and GoW Ragnarok at launch after the first 24 hours.

He's xbox fan pretending to be a Nintendo fan

I love it when xbox fans elaborately go out their way to pretend to be fans of something else. Sounds like a great use of your time.
@Snes nes DON'T LOOK❗NOOOOOOOOOO❗

I mean the Spider-Man sales might die down within a few weeks Mario will continue to sell After everyone’s done watching Spider-Man.
