That is the future baby.
That's not what I wanted to see.
games coming to PC, bye-bye PS4, mobile games.
Am I reading this wrong or something. What does this chart indicate?
That's not what I wanted to see.

too good to be true.PS5 is surpassing PS4 in every category
Yeah, but, those single player games are really fun. More is good.Why? It's a huge growth for first party investements overall.
The 40% of the total investements in traditional games in FY25 will be equal or slightly bigger than the 88% investements in FY19.
They're planning a lot of growth while differentiating on more things.
Btw great results for PS5, about to catch with the PS4 with an unprecedented pandemic disrupting production for a full year and an unprecedented price increase.
Not sure, what does it indicate?

let's see tomorrow if they lose you forever.This is why I'm starting to lose interest in Playstation.

There's no stopping Sony at this point.They just keep trucking along.
That's not what I wanted to see.
There is. If Abk deal gets approved somehow it will be a big hit on long term sales and if MS take more publishers.There's no stopping Sony at this point.
It's game over.
I threw up.

god damnit I don't mind some live service but 60% seems high

people underestimate how much money these games need to keep them alive.god damnit I don't mind some live service but 60% seems high
Well, at least the "waaah story driven 3rd person game!" people will be satisfied right?
That's not what I wanted to see.
well, statistically speaking, some of those GaaS are going to be super flops.I will always love Playstation but this major GaaS push is a huge turn off for me. If they keep this up and expect 60% of their first party output to be live service at 2025, then yeah, I'm not gonna rush for a PS6.
With Sony riding this wave of momentum, how could the competition possibly respond?
This seems like a rout.
That's not what I wanted to see.
What irks me the most about this is the fact that they are clearly stating that's what they want to put more investment into from a first party perspective. So 60% of their resources will be going towards live service crap? Nah, not for me, they can forget seeing my money going forwards if that's where they're heading.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how does this comparison accommodate for the increased prices for PS5 versus PS4 in the given timeframes? Full game revenue is actually down (which makes sense given the increase cost) and the overall spend increase is actually due to subscriptions and accessories (which are also more expensive), as well as higher "addon" buy in - which I believe would be microtransactions and DLC? At a glance, this would appear to favour PS5 simply due to the price increases this generation?

Thats just the investment percentage. If you remove the live service part and just look at the grey bars that represent traditional gaming, you see they are also planing to invest more in traditional gaming in 2025 compared to 2023, and will be on par with what they invested in 2019.I will always love Playstation but this major GaaS push is a huge turn off for me.

PSVR2 seems to be tracking strong. Nice!
Ouch... being an optimist, I am just going to take comfort in this being in percentages and that the reduction to 40% in traditional games investment equates to an increase in actual money spent in that sector. So Sony is just investing more in games all around.
They mean the number of titles released per platform. So in 2025, 3 games are released on PS5, there will be 3 games released on PC too.Not sure, what does it indicate?

But if you read the chart right, they are also investing more than ever in traditional first party games (single player) But those games don't need constant maintenance, a huge staff, and regular content updates. It's really no big deal.What irks me the most about this is the fact that they are clearly stating that's what they want to put more investment into from a first party perspective.

I get that, I was wondering if that poster was gonna enlighten us.Ouch... being an optimist, I am just going to take comfort in this being in percentages and assume that the reduction to 40% in traditional games investment equates to a 50% increase in actual money spent in that sector.

Wait what? Fy25 they pretend to be have more gaas then sp?
This is why I'm starting to lose interest in Playstation.
Disgusting chart.

Expect more live service games. Considering how much money they generate.
A little reactionary don't you think?What irks me the most about this is the fact that they are clearly stating that's what they want to put more investment into from a first party perspective. So 60% of their resources will be going towards live service crap? Nah, not for me, they can forget seeing my money going forwards if that's where they're heading.
If the numbers bear that out in the future then maybe, but I still don't like it. Looks to me like Sony is switching gears and moving away from their core that made them what they are. Sorry, but I'm not going to pretend I like that because I just don't.
