GaaS, PC ports, handhelds ... I have no time for such nonsense.


Demand for PS5 is far greater than it was for PS4 and PS3 in Japan.

Famitsu LTD (Week 11)

2025 PS5 6,746,840 (PS5 DE ¥72,980 / PS5 ¥79,980 / PS5 PRO ¥119,980) Profit: $12 bn

2018 PS4 6,525,053 (PS4 ¥29,980 / PS4 PRO ¥44,980) Profit: $4 bn

2011 PS3 6,294,199 (PS3 ¥29,980) Loss ($4 bn)

The problem is that SIE is making decisions that only benefit Tokyo's C-suite.

Nearly 1 million units down from the last Monster Hunter on Playstation platform.
Yikes!

Down ~1m in Japan, ~40% in the US, and certainly in the rest of the world as well. Things are not looking good for MH on consoles.
