No rumors have suggested a price cut in North America or Europe. In fact, Sony president of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed that no price drop will be seen in North America in the foreseeable future. With the PS Vita also struggling to gain momentum in the states, a price drop may be a strategy worth further discussion, considering it's positive reception in Japan.
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.
If true it sure will be interesting if it can maintain those numbers.

I will buy a PS Vita day 1 when its price drops.
Maybe Sony should drop it everywhere else
I got friends I want to play soul sacrifice with but they won't buy a vita until a drop
Sony should have added a UMD drive inside increase sales from psp uesers
it needs to be $199 with a 16gb memory card and 1 year ps plus, it would sell like crazzzy at that price!
