Thread is full of embarrassing zealots

Also why is everyone ignoring this

Ignoring what?
Daniel doesn't work for Sony, nor is he an insider or at anyway connected to insiders. He's a data analyst.

I really don't care if they want to release on PC or not. But it is still weird to see someone copying the company they trounced in hardware sales like this. And I'm struggling to understand where they think the 30% cut they take from 3rd party sales on PSN will be made up from after they transition off of hardware. They must have tremendous confidence in those games they cancel or delay.

Fairgames and Marathon coming up!

And I agree, they hid the numbers because they didn't look good and management didn't want them on their performance reports.

They didn't hid anything, it was plain visible in the last quarter data.

10 billion income, 1 billion profit, a measly 150m of Other Software.

Yesterday was a oversight of what's important and not, but here wasn't any new data.

Eh, companies adjust this stuff all the time, just means it's not a focus, doesn't mean they are ending ports.

If they were doing that, and changing their strategy, they'd probably have just said it.

Single player games will probably continue to get late ports and it's hardly hurting Sony's console business. You guys make no sense with that...

"PC ports aren't selling!" "PC ports are destroying the console business!" lol

Lat sentences are not contradictry. You can destroy a brand removing it's exclusive content, ye that content doesn't sell specially well in the other platforms either because piratery for example.

My man's hopeless, he entered a fucking digital foundry thread to console war Xbox sales

Did you see this? Things must be a lot better in Xbox land. You've gained back one of your most notorious defectors.

What games are we talking about? Sony ain't making 10 new games every gen. There will be fewer titles from now on.

In reality, they just moved it to a new location on their PDF.

Multi device refers to multiple PS platforms, that's why they emphasized the multigeneration word.
Next Gen will have handheld, home low end (PS5 /Pro), and high end (PS6 and PS6 Pro).

Not to release in Xbox PC man

But apparently Sony works for NVIDIA and have insider info about their unreleased products.

Makes sense.

Current PS is on PS, PC and Xbox as well as streaming. I don't see why "multi-device" would exclude any of those.

Good to know.
I think I remember someone on X referring to him as a console warrior (after he had posted some data with commentary).

I doubt it, but maybe they decided they have been flying too close to the sun with their approach to Playstation.

It's obvious that they aren't pitching their hopes on expanding "beyond the console" in the same way they were planning a year ago. I swear, Jim Ryan being "fired" has shifted PlayStation's approach to the two main things they started during his reign.

- Making massive amounts of Live Service Games
- Wanting and emphasising games "beyond the console" more and more.

Dude doesn't work for Sony and he's not an insider/industry guy. He just analyzes sales data and doesn't have any insider knowledge.

His insight on Sony's strategy going forward is irrelevant. He's as clueless as the rest of us in that regard.

Sometimes suspicions can be right. We all suspected he was behind their GAAS/multiplatform push for a reason. I found it way too convenient he left just before Concord released and massively flopped and his departure happened to coincide with Sony emphasizing their return to single player games and a focus on hardware.

My god i don't know how people have the mental energy to keep arguing about it. Its dead people. The age of 100% exclusives is over. We are all old and of a dying age, get over it.
