That Hideki Yasuda guy is an idiot...he's Takashi Mochizuki's (Bloomberg) #1 source for all of the fake news he spreads. But I wonder if there is any truth to this, Sony has been making some awful acquisitions and investments these last few years.
The entirety of Sony should support Play Station to ensure total world domination. How is LG Tvs synonymous with Gaming TVs or how is Samsung TVs dominating the market and mindshare?
And don't get me started with Sony Pictures, a complete clown show only saved thanks to the MCU Spiderman deal.
So, they better don't fuck around and find out. especially in the years of consideration and the rise of different business models.

9 studio acquisitions and only Housemarque, Bluepoint, and Firesprite are any good.......
I recognize that Toyo Industries from all the FUD article from Bloomberg.
Ignore this.

Doubtful. They didn't even spend the entire acquisition budget they were allotted, and Sony Proper was actually talking about expanding the war chest in that regard.
This seems like an attempt to spin broader things within the company into "PlayStation is in trouble", to be honest.

This article seems to be nothing but speculation. But Jimbo has been making bad decisions lately. Maybe there's some truth to that. Maybe a little bit.
he's Takashis butt buddy. They probably have lunches together
That's true but I think some of their investments haven't panned out they way they'd hoped.
Several people have been desperately trying to paint this "PlayStation is in trouble!" narrative all generation. Like a broken record.
The whole article is speculation from someone with a history of bad takes who does some Mr. fantastic reaching to spin any PlayStation news as negatively as possible.
It would be a bit premature to judge how those investments have panned out, no? They only just acquired them and their projects are still in development.
You are right. Right now they are liabilities that is costing Sony hundreds of millions dollars.
I agree except Nixxes, assuming they've been the ones behind the low quality ports recently.
I can't believe they edited the article to remove these paragraphs
Lowered profit because of increased headcount afforded by the yearly growing revenue and development goals of Sony is bad. Investing to grow is bad
But spending $70 billion (way beyond anything Xbox has profited in over 20 years) for a pie in the sky cloud ambition, then losing the rights to cloud streaming through regulation. That's good

I think post Jim Ryan era will define Sony for the entire generation. I would say they've made good investments if the companies they acquire aren't growing their operating income but just adding to the headcount.
It's always scary when finance people are brought in to lead things, even though it's only interim. As they are usually a fan of cost cutting and raising prices without any increase in quality. But we shall see.
