100% Exactly, its one thing to have an endless supply of resources and be one hell of a profit generating machine, but the fact that Sony is taking more reserved spending to allow the part of the company to recoup cost's shows that at least they are looking to grow the profit center of playstation. It takes a lot of time to produce those AAA big budget games, and that also means that if other companies are going to outspend you anyway, its better to atleast still be in the black while they outspend you. instead of not only are they outspending you but also you are in the red trying to irk out a lil bit of profit and perception of Mind share , that to be blunt cost's your company more than just money and profits, but also a small gain at the expense of health of your company. Its better to spend on Tier 2 indies that cost low investment and can in effect gain much higher returns for its investment cost's than flush large gobs of money that may or may not be enough of a sales platter to fill the money empty stomach of your companies belly. |
thats not the case though.
Sony Bend has been developing a PS4 game for almost 3 years now.
Guerrilla Games for 3 years now
Quantic Dream for 2+ years
Media Molecule for 3.5+ years
we know Guerrilla Cambrigde also started working on a PS4 game and SSM is also working on another game with Cory Barlog leading the title.
the thing is, if Bloodborne and LBP3 are anything to go by, is that Sony isnt blowing their load to soon. they are announcing stuff not to far away from release.
