Re: PlayStation Has Swiftly Solved Its Profitability Problem

@KoopaTheGamer Oh, iPhones and Samsung phones are also quite overpriced. Yet they keep selling. Whether you can afford a pro or not. I can buy one if I wanted to. But I don't care about the added value. I'd rather leave that 799 euros in my savings account and buy a PS6 in the future. And then I can also buy a Switch 2 from it, You're right, by the way. But saving is also an option if you really want something.

Just look at new sortware, just for fun count how many idiotic games from aaiaeastsoft xiuani ltd piapia. and 100e worth of nonsense chinese crap in there. I mean, there must be some really good developers in there. But the same goes for the car industry. At some point we'll be flooded with too much crap.

Re: Sony Boss Hermen Hulst Allegedly Taking Control of Bungie as Ex-Employees Call for Current CEO to Leave

I must honestly say that I enjoyed reading your story! really genuinely interesting. I didn't know that story either. In fact, I'm going to look into it a little more. And it indeed gives a nice look at the situation. But still, this is neither the Sony nor the Microsoft of 10 years ago. I think that today a completely different management approach is needed to keep things running. It remains to be seen whether the right approach is sometimes chosen. But I do think Hermen knows what he is doing. In that respect, I honestly think he has more in mind for the industry than Phil Spencer. But that's my personal view on console land. And if Hermen had worked for Xbox and Phil for Playstation it would have been exactly the other way around.

@NEStalgia
What's wrong with Hermen then? Of course, if you spread it out a lot, Playstation stuidos is no longer what it was 10 years ago. But on the other hand, if you see what it costs to make and release a game today, it is only logical. And if you look at how Sony as a company manages its studios, in my opinion they do it 10 times better than Microsoft. They actually hardly pay attention to the Xbox branch. And in terms of turnover, I understand that. But there are people working at Xbox and they can't do anything about it. In this situation there are still 155 people who can work within Playstation Sony shouldn't have done that, but they do.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite Game from State of Play?

@Dampsponge
Then you don't buy it. It,s always a choice. Everything costs money in life. Apparently many people (children) don't realize that yet. I'm going to buy it anyway. Do you also think that the new CoD and GTA6 will be available in stores for $29? Developing games is very expensive these days, so they have to be done.
