Do you guys think it's still on track for 2025?
Obviously yes.
They'd have cancelled it as they cancelled other PS Studios or Bungie projects if it had serious issues. Sony cleaned the house there and kept them focused on Marathon and Destiny, which means they look good enough.
Destiny 2 makes a lot of money 7 years after launch, their previous games also made a lot of money and Marathon broke records with its announcement trailer. Bungie is very successful and capable. If someone like Tom is an anti-Sony fanbody doesn't change that.
Jim direction was full of shit! He inherited a good Playstation and he started to turn it into pure shit. Now it's up to the new guys to turn the ship around.
Nah.
In his half a generation that generation has been the top grossing one, and made more profit than all the previous ones combined (and remember, with just half a generation instead of a full one). Plus SIE is in all time numbers and in a multi year trend in most areas, both the previous ones and the new ones where they are expanding. And has way more devs and dev teams (plus better dev teams) than the ones they had before he became CEO February 2019 (this is, half a year before agreeing the Insomniac acquisition).
Even if had to face the covid pandemic, console shortages, insane inflation and big hardware component prices increases that didn't allow them to apply a price cut and while Nintendo breaking their all time records.
The company was in a good state but his results are way better than the ones of his predecessors. And don't forget that in PS1 and PS2 times the biggest success of these consoles was in Europe, when he was in charge of that region at that time.
