Building a next-gen console spec rig just got affordable.
Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki and CFO Lin Tao talked about the state of the PlayStation business and the strategy and targets going forward, including how they're responding to the tariffs.
Sony announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024, and things are certainly looking up, despite a decline in PS5 sales.
If their profits fall next quarter, we'll probably see more price hikes. I can't imagine having to pay £20 a month for PlayStation Plus.
Decline in hardware sales.
Behind on lifetime sales and decline in first party sales.
Third party content and PSN came through to save the day.
Things will improve starting with the next Ghost game.
Hopefully a steady flow of first party content by end of '25
PlayStation 5 has shipped 77.8 million units worldwide, Sony announced in its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
I see the point this guy is trying to make, but the average consumer is not going to spend 1000-1800 (cpu’s can cost another 399 or more) to build a PC.
Let alone 500 for just a graphics card.
I’m not sure why some PC heads are so dense to understand that simple economical concept?
Kudos to NVIDIA for what they’ve done here. I’ve always assumed I’d have to pay thousands of dollars to get a high-end experience on PC.
No. You can't play PS5 or PS4 exclusives on PC. They finally put Horozon Zero Dawn on PC when the PS4 generation was ending. You're not going to get PS5 exclusives, or even many of the old PS4 exclusives for that matter. YOU NEED A PC AND A PS5. It's as simple as that.
Here's my thing. Does it run circles around the PS3/XSX? Sure, could i buy that instead of a new console and pop in my existing rig for the same cost? Absolutely. Are there games built from the ground up to take full advantage of this technology? Not on PC! And i don't think there ever will be, but there is for consoles, especially the PS5, which will also have games you can't play anywhere else, so personally this card is not in my interest for now.
Sony on record saying they're bringing their exclusive to pc following Ms like always their really no point in buying ps5 or xbsx.
