Satya Nadella confirms Project Latitude is not paused, more PS5 / Nintendo ports coming.

Long arse post using the same old graph.

Look at the graph of the previous gens; a steady incline in sales and revenue as the gen progresses.
Then look at PS5; two years where Sony released new IPs, PSVR2, funded games and kept shit off of the pc, results in high revenue.

Looking at the graph you can see that PlayStation is not dying at all, instead this generation is performing better than ever.

Look at the last two years; half the revenue Vs first two years, opposite to every other gen, when Sony is releasing pc ports and NO NEW IPs.

Seriously, you even go gaming flatearther saying that Sony has no new IPs?

In the last few months they released Concord, Rise of the Ronin or Stellar Blade and have Convallaria, Lost Soul Aside coming soon.

Plus there's minimum Fairgame$, "Marathon", the ex-Deviation's game, the incubated project at Bungie moved to PS Studios, Bend Studio new IP, Cory's SSM new IP, ND new IP, MM new IP, Housemarque new IP, Kojipro new IP... well, Sony and Hermen mentioned multiple times that half of the games they had and plan to have are new IPs.

If you can't see why the graph you hail as a success points to failure and an imminent implosion of playstation, then perhaps a visit to the local neurological clinic is in order.

In your fantasy world maybe. In the real world as I shown there's absolutely nothing that leads to any implosion of PlayStation, they are growing in all areas instead.

The profit decline in the last couple of years, as explained by Sony comes from their expansion growing their teams and acquiring companies and related costs, so obviously they won't produce profit until these new teams will start releasing stuff in a few years. Plus âlso there's the huge inflation increase, hardware manufacturing costs increasing over time instead of decreasing, negatively affecting the hardware profitability, etc.

Why would we have to proof that PlayStation is not dying?

If anything, Xbot-Trolls have to proof that their platform is not dying... but they can't.

It’s complicated, if they had managed to get the deal through without any hiccups and quickly they could’ve used Xbox’s - and industry wise - momentum and made an exclusivity play. This the original plan. The roadblocks, concessions, industry reaction, made it so that by the time it was over Xbox was in a completely different place. The platform fell down a huge set of stairs and hit every step on the way down.

So there’s two ways to look at it honestly, buying AB saves and bolsters MS’s gaming division future, but it also made Xbox a roadblock that needed to be scaled down.

The other big thing is that interest rates really skyrocketed during the protracted ABK saga, making the cost of borrowing become very prohibitive.

It's likely that the deal swallowed up a lot of Microsoft's cash reserves, hence the need to quickly get the gaming division into profitability.

Give them credit where it’s due.

Like clockwork they somehow move everyones attention away from Xbox whenever bad news comes out for Xbox.

Seems more like nobody gives a damn anymore, MS included.

According to MAGG Starfield is planned to come before summer 2025 to PS5 and I believe he said Forza Horizon 5 is ready to come as well next year. Both would easily sell millions for them.

Starfield had a great launch, but quickly faded. Online sentiment has been negative post release, and Bethesda rpg's have traditionally been PC centered for mods. We have had multiple reports from modders that have dropped the game.

The engine is dated, and the last dlc was badly received. Todd Howard did a great job hyping the game, he even stated during a podcast with Phil that reception pre launch was great even without gameplay footage. I think it would've sold millions but the window has since passed.

Sony isn't dying at all, the opposite: they are growing in most areas, some of which are at all time high levels.

Their consoles have the largest active userbase ever, they make more revenue and profit than ever and their first party games break their own sales records with new games released almost every year.

Your misinformation should result you in a banned. Nothing more then cloudy wishy washy stats passed spouted as if there true without proper context.

Spending $30 on a game that you only rent in a Subscription Service on a dying platform...

Only Xboxts could be this stupid.

Aron greenburger is the same guy who said HIFI was a success on all accounts which was false & likely didn’t even make money & celebrated them before selling them off.

I provided official data showing sources and you insult calling it misinformation. If something you're the one who should be banned for flatearther and troll.

Ignore button is the solution.

These guys simply have an agenda and aren’t here to debate.
