How is Forbes determining the "net loss" amount when one of the two games hasn't even released?
Also, it assumes that the average development cost of both these games is at least $600 million per game (!), and they make $0 in revenue.
Sounds like a really stupid, unsubstantiated statement.

Did I miss Marathon getting canned? I thought it was just delayed

In Concord's case, it's the purchase/formation? of the studio+dev cost I believe.

Sheeeeeiiiit! May aswell have just given the money to me. I could have bought a few Ferraris and partied with Bobby kotick on a yacht like a baller, with some Instagram baddies. It would have been a better waste of money.

Woke and dei infested california head quarters along with Ryan and Hulst killed Sony PS. And even Japanese Sony head like Totoki are under western california influence. With exclusives principles gone, I have a feeling Ps6 will be the worse PS console and first time in 5 generation, PS will lose badly.

No Bloodborne 2, or Team Ico games, because of the stupid things they've done. Just the same old stuff, Horizon and The Last of Us...
Fuck Intergalatic, as far as I'm concerned.

Marathon got cancelled?
Also love how retards always jump on something and take it all the way. We don't know what Sony plans to do with other platforms. All we got was intent which might be and probably is limited to live service games.
PlayStation is not dying in the same way that Microsoft is, and Sony didn't spent $80B on studios to supplement their stagnant services.

That and Sony not understanding they can't make a highly profitable GAAS game to save their life. They really should stick to third person over the shoulder 'cinematic' experiences, for their core customer base.

Which makes it super competitive and unlike SP games they spend lot of money to support it and highly depend on players to engage with it.
What I hate online only GAAS games they have expiration date, one it expires it be nothing more paperweight or waste space in digital.

Screenshot is fake.
No such tweet on Forbes Entertainment and the link is fake too.
Well done OP.
Who the hell believes it cost 1.2 billion to make those two games and also believe the PlayStation brand has not been profitable this generation.
So Concord cost 400 million and Marathon 800 million lol?
Didn't Sony say this is the most profitable PlayStation generation ever?

The ps5 gen has made more money than the 1-4 gen's combined.

To be fair, Daniel Ahmad said back in the middle of 2020, that PS first party games were not profitable.
But at this moment, Sony DID waste $3.6B.

Only $1b?
Bungie alone is a $3b write-off

What does that have to do with my post?
1.2 billion to make Concord and Marathon is a ridiculous figure.
We already know the claimed figure for Concord which is 400 million. So Marathon cost 800 million to develop?
This is the most profitable PlayStation generation. Confirmed by Sony themselves.

While the article sounds like tales from your ass, one does have to wonder why the cancelled that Last of Us faction game and went ahead with these 2 abominations.
There is no such article, it's a fake screenshot

Including the purchase of Bungie it is still the most profitable.
Sony includes acquisitions in their financials.

We're just letting bullshit false information spread now?
Also, that link (http://go.forbes.com/c/7hwQ) in the forbes image they're retweeting or replying or whatever the fuck you do on there links to this article. Literally nothing to do with Playstation on that page.

I think even that turned out to be a max. of $400 million (not confirmed, but only as per a couple of rumors)? That still leaves $800 million for Marathon, which doesn't sound practical at all.
And, again, it assumes that both those products would earn $0 in revenue. Otherwise, the development cost will have to be increased even further to reach the "net loss" amount that Forbes is claiming here.

Ah, this makes more sense.
I was surprised Forbes was doing such idiotic reporting.
