Its becoming abundantly clear that playstation leadership is compromised from top to bottom and those of you wanting japanese head conveniently forget how they are the worse about chasing what the west is doing and trends.
But to my point If this is what PlayStations new strategy consist of to constantly devalue and belittle their own core fanbase little by little, then this is what i have been preparing for over the last 3 years. Actions speak louder than words and i have enough backlog to stay locked in on ps5 on back for the foreseeable future with no problems until i finally make a move to pc or elsewhere.
There is already talk by outsiders who dont fully support playstation on 'why' they should even buy one now that playstation puts games on other platforms. Mind you PERCEPTION is everything in marketing. These short term gains playstation think they are garnering will do long term irreparable damage, and once you lose your core audience thats the beginning of the end. Those 30% cuts from third party and ps+ subs will dry up faster than pouring water on concrete on a hot summer day - and once people start rebuilding or exploring their options elsewhere… Elsewhere being platforms you have no control over or how consumer spending is encouraged then thats will be a wrap.
I'm not here to argue with anyone, ill just be voting with my wallet and habits going forward. Fool me once shame on you - fool me twice shame on me. And i promise i won't be fooled twice. If you're a playstation fan whom has bought in and invested directly.. Now is the time to speak up. if you enjoy playstation and you don't want to see them make mistakes others have in the past. Either speak/act now or remain complicit and watch the titanic sink over time because of their own mismanagement and decisions in the name of 'expanding' and profits. Fools gold at its finest.
I'll reiterate please critically think before you speak, if you sink money directly into playstation via their supposedly 'core model' and not off hand thru a PC or whereever else you should be thinking long and hard about the consequences of everything they are doing this gen because it will eventually effect you going forward and where u choose to play which will ultimately effect them. Their are lots of bad faith actors who want this because they know the damage it will do and weakening of the brand, And you dont have to look far across the pond to find examples *looks at xbox.*
