I appreciate you and
@ChiefDada putting things into perspective, but I do notice the amount going into traditional game investments is barely budging, and that can be considered good and bad simultaneously.
You already touched on the good, but the bad is that budgets for AAA traditional games keep increasing, so $180 million in FY25 likely won't net the same number of 1P AAA releases that $180 million would have in 2019 or 2020, as an example.
2021 for example, I don't know what portion was allocated to traditional games but I assume it wasn't that far off from 2019 or 2023. Had they released on time, we would've gotten GT7, HFW and GOW Ragnarok that year, all cross-gen games. But if the budget allocation for traditional games stays relatively static going forward, and PS5-only sequels to those games were to come about, we might only end up with two such games for a fiscal year instead of three, due to increased costs per game and yet the amount for those traditional games basically staying the same.
So, that is a potential downside here. Just something to maybe consider.
