Sony warns of weaker PlayStation business as game sales wobble

[Rekkapryde]

I'd drop Spidey 2 next summer if ready.

Everyone would move their release dates.

Factions early next year (prob fall to coincide with the series tho).

FF16

FF7 Remake Part 2

Got damn, i set you off somehow. did not expect that much hostility from that post

Glad people don't act like this with me in real life, i'd be getting fights over silliest shyt, just because someone reacted to a random comment by dialing it up to 10.

Me: looks like it's gonna rain.
Conde Types: fukk you bytch ass nikka!

I'm not sayin' either of ya'll are wrong, but, ya'll have any sources?

Revenue has been down around the board but gamepass continues to grow

Xbox gaming revenue fell 7% during MSFT Q4 2022 despite Game Pass growth

The rest is moreso just analytical thinking, feel free to say I'm wrong. I didn't say the industry is collapsing, just that it's changing. The industry is pushing people to buy less games, and rather just buy certain kinds of games and just spend money on them. Twitch grows yearly and that's been the go-to place for people to watch others play.

A lot of kids in particular that I know personally only play a handful of games and watch streamers play other games. I'm sure they aren't the only ones.

People sick of buying remastered ps3 games.

What game was this?

The issue is the same for all companies - we are entering into a massive worldwide recession and people will have less money to spend.

Playstation has a couple of specific issues like PS+ MAU stagnating - the new PS tiers should help with that significantly - and the hardware supply which is out of their control.

Ultimately, Playstation revenue is down 2%. The big dogs will be fine - the likes of Ubisoft on the other hand.

Recession looming.

I’m not breaking my back just to get a PS5. If I can’t walk into a bloody store swipe my card and walk out that bihh with the machine, I’m not buying it. I’m not buying their p*ssy ass bundles either. Got me fukked up.

I don’t think PS+ reboot will really help with MAU, i think thats the ceiling for console gaming. Which is why sony is doing the tiered gaming system to begin with, so they can earn more money per user instead of just trying to get more users.


It looks like that worked because sales in services are up, but the user base hasn’t really increased. Thats why Microsoft is offering gamepass/xcloud on TV’s and PC’s because they know consoles have a low ceiling, especially their consoles. Which is still flawed but thats how they’re selling it

What game was this?

Most recently GTA, Uncharted Last of Us, Diablo 2 and Tsushima (ps4)

The only real revolutionary game this generation has been Elden ring and we’re two years in with very little on the table. otherwise it’s bukkshyt like Timeloop.

Its like this. I feel like most folks are going the mobile route as it is more accessible and you can easily buy whatever the hell whether it be cosmetics or progression. Technically, we are paying for glorified F2P games with better graphics and etc. Hell, with how GT7 was handled, this is where the industry is heading. Soon, folks are just going to play video games with MMO tactics on some subscription will get you A to Z. There's no money in single player games, Sony is obtuse with how to tackle this crazy generation of gaming, Microsoft gets it but doesn't get it, Nintendo is eating regardless because "fukk you", PC gaming gang can finally buy gpus just to be in backlog hell, and greedy companies will continue to treat gamers like a snuff porn.
