Sony hosted its financial conference call, and Hiroki Totoki provided more insight into the performance of the PlayStation business and PS5.
Capcom announced its financial results for the fiscal year between April 2024 and and March 2025, marking another winning year.
More games in development you say, Breath of Fire 3 and 4 remastered collection? Because that is what I am waiting for.
Man, of everything they have remastered, I’d give them all up if it meant just getting these 2 remasters.
look, capcom has found a sweet spot for their games.
the RE engine is pretty amazing.
I wonder if they'll continue to make any new ace attorney and megaman games. They should definitely revisit breath of fire at some point, remaster em, pixel remaster. Please, something capcom.
I think they will continue to utilize all their IP's. They have found how to succeed and that's by making fun games
Today, Sega announced its financial results for the full fiscal year that started in April 2024 and ended in March 2025.
I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.
"That’s not how you launch a system".
I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.
Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.
Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.
Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.
I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.
I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
I believe they will have a constant big percentage rise of "new users" going forward since Xbox Studios' multiplatform push. Most people know they need to move to Playstation if PC is not preferable and it's a "sooner rather than later" approach. Next gen PS6 is set for even higher numbers.
As of now we haven’t seen much 1st party for 2025. GTA6 will cannibalise everything this year and beyond. We are soon going into march, and not much was announced for release in 2025. Ghost maybe and I am not even sure it will make it this year.
So almost 4.2 million new buyers just during the holiday period alone. Looks like plenty of room for growth to me.
Sony is doing well this generation mainly because their competition is doing very poorly. Xbox is talking about putting all their games on the PlayStation, and Nintendo is gearing up to launch their new Switch console. If I am being honest and despite the numerous criticisms I give, if someone who is only interested in buying a console came up to me and asked me which console to buy if they want the latest and greatest games, I will tell them with no hesitation to get a playstation.
