Time to ramp up the PC ports.
You can’t follow on from lockdowns is the logical conclusion.
Yeah no more COVID lockdowns + just a shit quarter for game releases..
Honestly things outside of Sony's control since they pumped out 2 quality 1st party games in calendar Q1.. but they still have to deal with this stuff as it effected their outlook significantly so they didn't really plan for it.

You mean time for that PS4-level portable handheld
?I doubt people venturing out more is hurting Nintendo as much as Sony & Microsoft, Switch's portability being a major reason why. All the more reason for a new Sony portable with PS4-base level performance for taking the PS4 library on the go (and streaming PS4 Pro and PS5 games on the go).
Time to commit, Sony. Do it!
Actually they are...
- Increasing PS5 supply.
- Launching first-party games on PS5.
- Done marketing/promotions of PlayStation Plus service.
For these interested that is the actual speech posted on https://icon-era.com/threads/sony-q1-fy2022-results-2-4m-ps5.529/
Did they? For the second-half of 2022 (the time they are taking actions to increase engagement) the PC ports are the same as before... Uncharted, Spider-man & Miles Morales.
You can read what Sony said in my previous posts... nothing about ramp up PC ports.
His world revolves around PC. All solutions to everyone problems are PC PC and PC only.
Sony made 80 million revenue from PC this year out of a total 25 billion and this guy thinks PC is the solution. Go figure.
Where are you getting an $80 million revenue figure? Also ROI for PC gamers is considerably higher than in their console market. While smaller we as individuals are more valuable than you.
You just posted something with this quote though:
Hard to say if that has anything to do with PC ports, but they did buy a PC port company.
Yes PC individuals are more valuable considering the majority of console gamers buy their games and PC gamers pirate their games for free.
Days Gone, HZD and GOW torrent download numbers are proof enough. More people downloaded the games for free than the numbers shown in the image above.
That's $80 million more than the $0 they were making before on PC ports.
Then this year that's $220 million more than the year before (expected.)
And on and on.
That's the point of going into new markets.. it's new money. Sony clearly believes this money more than offsets the investment and any chance of cannibalizing PS5 sales. Likely because anyone who would jump ship to PC probably wasn't buying anything but a few exclusives anyways... like any PC gamer I know with a Playstation.
Also.. they are just porting old games at this point lol Sony is clearly thinking day 1 is a bad idea.. this is a measured action by them to increase profit... even if it sells a few less PS5s.
Can companies be wrong? Sure.. but.. they also have the data, have done extensive surveys, talked to analysts, etc. so you are just saying you know better than this massive company w/ a lot more data points.

You got to save that money that goes into the high end GPU somewhere.

Yes, the sales and money is so great where you're at that they're coming to us with your games begging us to buy them.A few million sales on PC is nothing. Consoles are where it's at
You guys need a reality check.
Why have they excluded titles... Death Stranding appears no where there and that clearly made it to six figures also.

I don't think Death Stranding was published by Sony on PC.. meaning they didn't make money on it.
edit: yeah 505 games published it.. Death Stranding was a fairly unique deal for Sony at the time.. they got the IP rights, Kojima got to release on PC 6 months later (or whatever it was) w/ outside publishing.
