NES looks into Sony's downward trend over the past 10 years and looks into the management problems that have been ailing the tech giant over the past decade.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Now I can't wait for the article about Microsoft one of the richest company ever is on the decline
well, this is Kaz's first year. even investors know that's too short a time to implement changes...
now's a good time to invest in Sony...
Slow news day.Sony is in financial trouble. About the hundredth article to point it out.Thanks for confirming what has already been said.....again. And as usual LOGICWINS jumps to defend another negative Sony article. Another shocker.And the usual 'We should take this seriously, Sony is in a lot of trouble' for people who always act as if they are so much more concerned then the whole gaming community.We all know Sony is having financial troubles. We have heard the figures, heard from the doomsayers and the financial geniuses and every single article. That is what Kaz is trying to fix and why they are trying to reorganize the company. Or haven't you heard? But as soon as another article pops up saying 'Sony is in financial trouble we will be hearing 'We have to take this seriously' from the overly concerned gamers who always think they are more concerned then even the people who actually own the company are.
Yeah, i'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows Sony is in deep financial troubles, but that doesn't mean we should be getting news like this more than twice a week. Why do people want other companies to fail? People need their jobs, and more competition is good for business as it makes companies learn from their mistakes and improve on them. Heck, I may not like the Xbox 360 much, but I still don't want it to fail, as Xbox Live Gold inspired PS+, and it and PSN are going to make the Wii U's online better (well, at least I hope Nintendo does so)
Plus, some the best and memorable games and new IPs in the last 15 years started on Playstation. MGS (not a new IP, but Solid series started on PS1), Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry, Okami, ICO and SOTC, God of War, Uncharted, GT, GTA, RE, and many more. With a console that that has a 15+ years of history, a giant list of games that started on this console and are now classics, and still choosing to create new IPs despite this gen seemingly ending soon AND under financial problems, you'd have to be a giant blind and ignorant fanboy to WANT Sony to go bankrupt and close down.
Wow, what an article and it does a lengthy but very good job of explaining Sony's woes. I agree that Sony does seem to have an identity crisis in that they sell a lot of different products but there doesn't seem to be real focus or direction to the company. Unlike say Apple or Amazon who have a limited number of products but they are generally high quality and are razor focused in leveraging them to sell a lot of software/consumables through their formadable ecosystem of books, music, movies etc. I think that Microsoft are also at a turning point with the move from PC's to Tablets gradually reducing their income from operating systems. Their Xbox divison is strong but there is a lot of question marks on how they are going to keep producing high profits. If their new Surface tablets fail then their market position will be heavily scrutinised.
