No, I think you've been living too much on the internet. The brand is at an all-time high right now, the damage to the brand that we worry about as PS fans is what we see in the years and decades to come. Although I'm not too sure you're here to discuss things in good faith...your posts always scream "shit-stirrer"Have you been living under a rock?

I don't see any damage to the brand is done and it is losing its fanbase.....at all. But let's switch that to Xbox, yes.

-Psvr2 is not core to the playstation brandPsVR2 has flopped
Most of the Sony PC ports besides Helldivers 2 have underperformed (the numbers are there for everyone to see on Steam)
The ps5 has sold below Sony's expectations this financial year
None of the PlayStation Studios have a game to release by 2026
We can't keep denying reality
Considering most of what you wrote in the post are lies easily debunked with a quick google search yes, you keep denying reality.PsVR2 has flopped

No, because GaaS requires a certain amount of progression, unlocks, new content and monetization which requires a lot of work.I can't be the only one to think a straight port of UC and TLOU MP's, released to PC/PS5 as new pair of standalone games, backed with a PS Tournaments push would do wonders for PC/GAAS goals? And I am meaning just dropping the "iso's" onto the PC/PStores, not even needing to add more content (but they obviously should do like a tidy-up relaunch effort for each).
U want to compare it to the xbox? Whats next man the Ouya or google stadia?
Sony's competition is Amazon,Nintendo,Steam,Tencent,Apple gaming and Mobile developers.
PsVR2 has flopped
HD2 is a GAAS game as Sony said before GAAS games will be day 1 on PC. I don't see porting to PC sucks. Game would sell worse without PC version.Most of the Sony PC ports besides Helldivers 2 have underperformed (the numbers are there for everyone to see on Steam)

Update 4/18
2 months ago, Moore's Law Is Dead revealed that Sony has signed a contract with AMD for the PS6 and for a handheld version of the console, as you can see in the video below, starting at minute 13:30
if Sony signed a contract for the PS6 and for this handheld at the same time like he's mentioning, this means that PS6 will be released with 2 SKUs day one, 1 less powerful SKU for handheld and 1 very powerful SKU for console, he even mentions that Sony can probably also sell a weaker console with the same specs as the handheld, cheaper, like Microsoft did this gen with the Series S, so you would have a PS6, PS6 Lite (less poweful console, same specs as handheld) and PS6 Handheld
Famitsu sales Week 15 (April 08 - April 14)
PS5 - 20,941
Xbox Series - 2,616
Hopefully the rumors are true
Instead of porting PlayStation exclusives to PC. A handheld would help expand the overall ecosystem.
Xbox SX is still selling well every week in Japan. Over 2600 this past week. A xbox handheld could become a real threat to PlayStation in Japan. We better be prepared with tissues.
Mobile gaming is already worth more than console gaming...because soccer mums and grandparents like playing mickey mouse games on their phone. It's a much wider base.I think serious gamers are above caring where others like to play their games....
I do get where the concern about other companies come from, like it or not mobile gaming is going nowhere and it shapes how console and PC gaming works.
Just look at how lootboxes and Microtransactions infected AAA gaming, all of that stuff came from mobile.
Thanks to mobile gaming, Tencent is far ahead of Microsoft and Sony because, unlike Microsoft and Sony, Tencent knows where the biggest profits are.Mobile gaming is already worth more than console gaming...because soccer mums and grandparents like playing mickey mouse games on their phone. It's a much wider base.
But ultimately the scale and scope of those games is way off and the extent to which it can impact AAA gaming is limited.
Sony is also to blame for the fact that its games sell very poorly in Japan, because the Japanese people don't really like PlayStation, which has become a "western" company since the PS2 era.
I really mean it because the data clearly shows that the number of PlayStation units sold is falling year on year. It would take a miracle for the PlayStation 5 to overtake the PS3 in Japan. PlayStation as a console may be selling well, but PlayStation games are selling very poorly in Japan.Do you really think that PS4/5 are selling worse than its predecessors because Sony is somewhat a "western" company?

Here's another proof why the Japanese people don't really like the PlayStation. With this move, Sony clearly shows that it has rejected its Japanese roots.Apple is a clearly a "western" company, more than a Sony, and it has a over 50% mobile phones marketshare in Japan. So, consoles failing because being a "western" company does not have any sense
That was for consistency so developers didn’t have to develop multiple control layouts for their games in different regions. Sony isn’t trying to reject their roots in Japan. Sony is Japan.Here's another proof why the Japanese people don't really like the PlayStation. With this move, Sony clearly shows that it has rejected its Japanese roots.
