Sony plunged $10 billion after its PS5 sales cut. But a bigger issue is its near decade low games margin

Multiplatform from Sony's leaked documents. Where is the Xbox, where is the Switch?

This didn’t need to leak
It was an official announcement :wow:
You put more thought into that then their management. It's an afterthought to them and not a focus at all. You'll forever hang your hat on the fact that they purchased a company that made Xbox games and wanted to continue doing after the purchase but the actual management at the company doesn't even view that as worth acknowledging in their business plan for PlayStation.

A 4 billion dollar afterthought :wow:

“The entire deal hinged on Bungie’s insistence on xbox support :hula: “Xbox support is an afterthought to sony”


Sony nikkas crazy :mjlol:
First off, I want to be very clear to the community that Bungie will remain an independent and multi-platform studio and publisher.
Bungie does their own thing. They are their own studio and publisher Per Jim Ryan head of PlayStation at the time of purchase.

We remain in charge of our destiny. We will continue to independently publish and creatively develop our games. We will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community. Our games will continue to be where our community is, wherever they choose to play.

Not a PlayStation initiative. Doesn't factor into their plans or direction.

You may have a child and let them use a car you own as they see fit within reason. As long as they behave themselves it's basically like it's their car to use as they want. Ultimately it's still your car and whenever you want you can step in and control it.

PlayStation management already told Bungie if yall don't get your shyt together we're going to have to step in. Doesn't change the fact that right now they operate independently.

Now we pulling percentages out of our ass.

Microsoft pulled multiple games off playstation deep into development cause they wanted them to be exclusive. Ironically they are the ones considered to be multiplatform.

But sonys hands were tied, they had no choice but to invest 4 billion into making xbox games.

Y’all really sound crazy in here


But i’m the one missing the point and weaving narratives :mjlol:
Don't see how I'm pulling % out my ass it's known they were already deep in development.

Dude... They are obviously independent but still have certain levels of oversight. It's complicated but makes sense lol.

Think of an investment partnership with a corporation that can take over if you tank, doesn't sound like bad biz at all.

at this point you might as well not even talk to or warn these weirdos
anyone who lies to themselves and pledges allegiance to a company is dangerous at this point
I told them years ago what would happen and here we are (2019 xbox thread)
Its the same people who stan the company that are actually the ones destroying it

they deflect and pretend shyt is okay, cry and blame other things that are 100% fine

if your main market is video games, and you arent making a profit... you are fukked
these weirdos always try to pretend that Microsoft/Xbox/PC Windows is different for sake of argument
xbox could be thrown out and Microsoft would still have more money than your favorite 3 businesses put together

xbox has always been some throwaway shyt, you gotta be autistic to pretend its a single entity
its the equivalent to Michael Jordan owning a Nascar team, its not the best... its not gonna blow you out of the water
its just extra shyt to make $ and promote with ... he has more disposable money off many other investments

the problem people are also avoiding isnt the fact Xbox wants to put its shyt on PS and eventually Nintendo...and the Nintendo collab is slowly working
its the fact that Microsoft makes money directly from underneath you! they are getting $$ and cutting into your profit at that point. Meanwhile they dont give a fukk, they have disposable income. Sony deserves more, they are an amazing and innovative company that shouldnt be losing any money. If they would just meet in the middle, they could profit on other platforms as well... you could even lease out 1-2 exclusives for 6 month deals on gamepass... and then after 6 months take the shyt off and put 2 more on. That way you still claim exclusive title while still expanding your business. Nintendo and Microsoft are good financially, you cant nosedive Playstation when its what makes your wheels turn.

you cant compare numbers from pandemic, so thats dumb in itself... but you would have to move smarter to maintain your bread and butter
