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.

"Sony has sent the sluttiest girl in the sorority drunk, horny, and on E to Xbox's Room, but Xbox will somehow still fail to close the deal and will also be virigin the next morning."

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.

Xbox division as a whole is extremely profitable.
I have a very solid source on this I know in-person. They are involved in MS divisional profit forcasting so they have seen the real, uncooked numbers. I will stand by that statement. I 100% trust this bro.

Segments inside Xbox are gaping money pits, but the gaming division and xbox in particular is a printer.

Watch as we play as the ISA yet again and the Helghast are type cast this time as every -phobe and -ist label under the sun yet again (not that that's a bad thing) only this time the ISA is full of genderspecials, niggers, kikes, and troons
 
Even if you don't like Kojima you have to admit that he has a ton of fans. I don't know why Sony would think it would be smart to discontinue their relationship with Kojima Productions, it's literally one of the easiest safe investments in the gaming industry.

I have to assume this is political. Kojima is simply not woke enough for Sony. He's fairly left leaning in some ways but doesn't play along with the woke shit when he doesn't believe in it (the example that comes to mind is in Death Stranding 1 there is a log/writing that speculates that the rise of asexuality is due to societal factors and the end of the log acknowledges that this is not a socially acceptable belief about sexuality). Like he renamed the guns in MGSV and that was cringe, but I also think you couldn't convince him to do something like that if he didn't believe in it, he's too spergy. So you have a whole game studio that Sony works with that refuses to do the play-along shit and it probably makes them really mad, because it isn't about what you actually believe, it's about whether or not you'll concede to the ideology, and Kojima just isn't someone to do that, for better or worse.

This is also why he has diehard fans, obviously. But I think it's really really telling that Sony is willing to sacrifice their safest financial bet of a Studio because they don't do the play-along shit.

I'm honestly kinda shocked. Like I sold my PS5 a few weeks ago because fuck Sony, they're retarded. And also, I didn't realize they were this retarded. This can not be construed in any way as a good move.

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

I can agree with all of this but it yet remains to be seen if all of this will have any tangible effect on Sony. Consumers are fickle and will pivot into a completely different direction/opinion either with time or because a new product was released.

Within the still active life cycle of the PS5 and with something like GTA 6 looming I fear that not much will happen that would influence Sony to change its opinion. They still make too much money with Ps+, MTX etc. With the PS6 that might be the case but it will probably take a couple of years until anything can be seen and sometime until that new pivot will show any effects.
 
At this point I'm tired of asking why do sony hates money.
I don't even hate them, hatred is an emotion and I'm completely apathetic over the company that had to buy the gay awards as many times as the number of times they had released morbius at cinemas.
 
Man, I'm a certified Kojima truther, him getting ousted from Konami was completely justified as he was not some innocent underling but rather the literal second in command at the company and significantly culpable for their problems, but HOLY FUCK, this was a terrible decision with even worse optics. Death stranding was mediocre drivel, and the sequel was flat out garbage, and probably a flop too. So, instead of shitcanning this at any point prior, you renege on the deal for the game people were actually looking forward to a year after death stranding 2 gets pinched out, and then have the gall to lie about it being a mutual split? THIS was your line in the sand about spending too much money? You spent $200 million on concord, not including whatever you paid to outright buy the studio, and then spent another $200 million on concord after that, $3.6 BILLION on fucking bungie, well over $300 million on wolverine, $250 million+ on marathon, none of these even including marketing costs, however many untold billions on fairgames, the horizon landwhale game, the dozen cancelled live service titles, etc, and NOW is the time you want to start pinching pennies?

I still pay for it because I get my moneysworth out of it, at least until I clear out the 10 years of "free" PS+ games in my backlog.

Personally I cope by not buying anything new Sony puts out or holding out hope they'll ever make a good game again. I get a lot of use out of my PS5 playing PS4 games, but I have no interest in the PS6 because it has literally nothing to offer me.

The next gen hasn’t begun and Xbox has already won it. Playstation should just become the console version of Riot and make nothing but hero shooters and live service slop like they always wanted.

The Helghast were the best things about those games, from the voice actors down to the character/equipment designs. At the end of Shadow Fall I thought they were finally angling the series towards the Helghast being the good guys, but there’s no chance we’d get that in modern day.

I think its more simpler than that, Kojima is a money hole. So Sony is just cutting their losses. After all the failed live service crap and ram prices etc, its now all about getting more money and cutting all losses.
 
It's a funny story, but one worth repeating: How the fuck did Concord happen, exactly?

It all started back around 2018. Sony, for reasons known only to it, put SIE (the branch responsible for PSN, headquartered in California) in charge of their Playstation division on the grounds that it was the only thing that made money that year. Unfortunately, SIE was completely captured by this point, did things that actively led to hemorrhaging Japanese dev support, and it wound up spending an enormous amount of money on acquisitions - mostly for studios run by their IRL friends, which included Firewatch Studios and Haven Studios, which they bought in 2023.

Then, in May of 2024, Sony announced a changing of the guard as far as CEO. They also quietly said they were looking to retool the Playstation brand owing to SIE's mismanagement; SIE at the time having a 6% profitability index, which means for every dollar SIE was spending, Sony got back six cents.

Short version: Sony gave SIE carte blanche to do anything to bolster the PS brand. SIE purchased failing lefty identity politics-driven studios and mandated that Japanese studios had to undergo content analysis in the US and in English, even if the games were intended to release only in Japan, and only course corrected after almost half a decade of them fucking the situation hard enough to crack the floorboards.

Absolute shamefuru display, unironically deserving of nothing less than a seppuku.

They're gonna pull a Shadow Fall again, aren't they.
 
Maybe, and I know that sounds like a meme especially in this place but what if Sony and its California branch/ HQ are genuinely racist towards the Japanese? Closing of Japan Studio, censorship of games and art boxes, ending its relationship with Kojimbo when they were willing to burn cash on the most abhorrent games that never had a chance to be a return of investment etc.
 
They've been trying to push Kojima as their big David Lynch auteur for decades now, and it's only so that they can try to make games look more and more like movies. What they never realized is that David Lynch never spent hundreds of millions on his productions and nothing he produced was ever a blockbuster.

The fact that they would cut off their biggest "we're just like movies" figurehead says something.
