True true…but I was like internally on the extreme side that it's being sent out to die lol I'm happy for the devs though. Fantastic success story
Yeah. It has the least annoying monetization model I've seen and should be the gold standard for paid GAAS.
I think this is a big benefit, but one that no publisher will actually take notes off when it comes to F2P or charging 30-50. They will just go wait we can charge and still do all the F2P microtransactions day 1.
Totoki is suggesting Strategic Investment split shouldnt be too different to the previous mid term, where Sony Music had the highest Strategic Investment and Gaming/Picture were roughly equal (I assume this is under the situation that Paramount deal is not happening?)
Curious that they expect a profit increase impacted by PS+.
Wonder how they going to achieve that, hopefully not a price increase.
GTA VI?
It will be "the" game for millions of players and many, many will buy a console for it.
Edit:
Oh 2024... Maybe hoping that games like Helldivers 2 and Concord will drive more people into PSN?
20+ billion gaming side acquisition confirmed.
I'm guessing releasing a pro model as the best place to play GTA6 would help.
Maybe because they hope the service games will drive more PS+ subscriptions?
It's kinda funny how different outlets frame Sony's earnings.

PS+ price increase only went into effect in the second half of last FY, so the next year will naturally have higher revenue cause it'll be at a higher price from the start
It's Mochizuki. He always had a hard on for bad news related to Sony.
I don't think Mochizuki ever had a positive headline regarding Sony lol
Here's the link to it that was posted earlier.

That explains the major jump on profit they showed in the graphs, hopefully they start announcing the big stuff at the showcase
This is the post I was waiting for. We all knew the dev timeline matches up, nice to see that they are on track.
If Concord is still on track for this year then we're definitely seeing it at the next Showcase. I believe Hermen mentioned that he'd be playing it since Sony acquired Firewalk over a year ago. This is one of the more interesting upcoming first party games because of that. Whatever they have ended up impressing Sony enough to acquire them before they even released their first game.
Now the question is if Ghost or SMS/Cory game hit FY25.

So we can expect around 3B USD investments for SIE in the next 3 years. Too much for separate partner studios, not enough for bigger companies. A strange number. I guess they will pursue RPG and mobile devs and rely on slow and careful expansion.
May be one bigger deal and a few smallers.

Sounds like a mixture of cancelled GaaS games and wanting the games optimized for ps5 "pro"
Sounds like it's just an estimate.
Can be more or less, case in point- paramount.
Stolen from Discord. Major news.

He was talking about Destiny so probably the expansion, just a mistake I think (June/July)
Hermen and Nishino were chosen as CEOs for their background and experience.
Need for PlayStation Studios will increase in the coming years, and so they needed to put more focus into it to make sure they have steady and successful releases to hit profit targets or something along those lines

Ah. I thought the Destiny expansion releases June? Unless he actually said June and not July.
The translator said July but maybe Totoki or the translator were mistaken.
