But for real, I am unsure what Sony thinks this will do other than show they have a retarded way of investing money. Winning the last couple gens of consoles has made them terminally braindead (like how Xbox was after the 360) and every time they cancel something it's the thing they shouldn't cancel, while a dozen other projects that should cancel continue to truck along.

Really, like it or not, Last of Us Online would've likely performed decently well, but they trusted Bungie and others to instead back other live service drek that humiliated them and cost them credibility and more importantly MONEY.
Even if you hate Kojima, and don't want tranny game or whatever, I think cutting ties now is a similarly bad play as Konami cutting ties.
 
Sorry, I've been out of the loop on consoles since the Gamecube/ps2. I would appreciate if someone could explain why sony is fobbing off a relationship with the literal only Playstation Dev I could name. This is the MGS3 guy right? Isn't that, and its series, one of the most widely beloved games of all time? It's like Microsoft letting halo go to rot and ruin in favour of making a new IP about babyshark or something. What the fuck?

"Sony is retarded" is the simplest and most likely explanation. This is only the latest in a long line of very bad business decisions over the course of the PS5 generation.

If you're looking for serious speculation, then it's probably a combination of:

  • Death Stranding 2 underperformed.
  • Kojima is infamous for going way over budget.
  • Playstation appears to actively not give a shit about anything that isn't GTA/Horizon/live service.

Xbox lives by the grace of Microsoft not pulling the plug. As long as it provides some value on a spreadsheet, it will survive. Sony actually has to sell games and consoles. They are turbofucked. They have handed the next gen to Microsoft.

The next gen Xbox console is going to be even more unaffordable than Sonys. The only one winning at the end of the day is PC/Steam.

Every positive that used to exist and justify consoles existing have evaporated. They legitimately only exist for dumb niggers and children to lazy/dumb to deal with configuring a PC and just want a box that “just works” by turning on their controller.

The fucked up things from these tweets too is how Sony is contradicted in Kojima tweet. Sony saying they mutually parted ways, while Kojima states that got an unexpected cancelation notice from Sony and then have to scramble to find a new potential partner.

Let's see...June, eh?

So sometime right before they removed 500+ movies from customer accounts without any sort of reparation or compensation, something that would create doubt and insecurity in regards to digital purchases in their userbase, after which they IMMEDIATELY announced that they would be shutting down older digital store fronts and ceasing production of physical media, ushering in an all digital utopia?

Chances are the two braincells their marketing/PR team has left, just so happened to rub together and they decided they might want to postpone that news after shotgunning out terrible announcements PR-wise one after another.

Poor Sony, getting Umm-Actually-ied by Kojimbo.

As much as I would like to see Sony humbled drastically on the public stage I don't think that will really happen. Its safe to assume that backwards compatibility will remain an important selling point, especially considering that it is most likely that the PS6 will cost $1000 or more. So just like with the PS5 Sony will be forced to release PS6 games with a PS5 version to maintain its customer base. Speaking of those players wont abandon an ecosystem that with the PS6 they have spent 13+ years cultivating. And we don't even know what Microsoft will do with its next gen Xbox. They have a chance to get ahead of Sony but we are speaking about two retarded corporations so who knows what will happen.

It's more about several things happening at once. They're fucking up with gaming, they're messing with blu ray for anime (they are trying to kill the disc in general), their hardware is generally getting shittier. It isn't that Microsoft is doing better. It's that Sony is doing so much worse. Now they have lost Kojima. Yeah his ROI sucks. He is still an important part of gaming. Tossing him away for Microsoft to scoop him up is a fumble

Whatever is left of it, I have a feeling that when these things come out it's going to cost more than the average consumer is willing to pay. Nintendo might get lucky with switch 2 internal hardware getting cheaper to procure with time with exception to the ram but Xbox and Sony are a little to far into retard territory to make any savings had making the ps5 and series x pass into customer hands. They would rather burn sitting on top of a dwindling pile of money than push the burning bills off to the side and regroup.
