At this point I can't shake the feeling that this discussion is just kept alive artificially and that everyone except for three people can see why this is beneficial while these three just talk for the sake of talking and create fear where there shouldn't be any. 

PS5 will consume less unneccessary power when in stand by? -> Get the pitchforks, they're trying to tear down every entire industry and all life as we know it!! Wait, what do you mean, that would be self-damaging? Stop bringing logic into this! I'm on to something here!

Let's not forget: if Sony wants to waste less power it definitely means that they are pro-abortion. I am an expert because I can make giant generalizations, so I must know.

Also, bad intentions may exist when altruistic actions are performed, which 100% means that Sonys intentions are bad.

I can't shake the feeling, and neither can I stop shaking my head...

And I am a Nintendo fan and I hate Sony, for crying out loud, and I even I understand this!

I think you're reading too deep into this, and making direct connections where none were made. I never said PS was pro abortion, I just said some people believe in both of those values. Values which even those believers can't know exactly if they are indisputably right or wrong. Yet promoting yourself by using those types of values, is apparently supposed to make you look good. Well it will make you look good to those who believe what you believe, but if that isn't completely factual, especially based on the consensus, then you're basically virtue signalling to a group of potential consumers, or business partners, etc.

"“It makes sense for us to put headquarters functions in the U.S. because we have a lot of important business partners in the U.S. and a lot of changes in the industry we need to deal with promptly tend to appear there first,” a spokeswoman for Sony Computer Entertainment said."

"Industry veteran Hirokazu Hamamura, a director at Kadokawa Dwango Corp. , said earlier that the U.S. market is crucial for Sony to stay ahead of the competition because, in addition to its size, the latest trends usually originate there first."

If you take into account PS headquarters being moved to San Mateo, California, in 2016, bordering Silicon Valley, and what kind of politics and values that area and it's people have, it's not a surprise to see some of the things being implemented at PS since then.

Like I said earlier, being more efficient isn't really a problem, and can be a smart business move, if done wisely, but when you're promoting that and using it as positive PR, you're assuming the people agree with your values and will be pleased by your decision, when in this case, there's no guarantee what they are doing is largely beneficial to the masses.

If SNY isn't worth pointing out how they may be influencing or part of something larger, positive or negative, then we shouldn't be pointing out what oil companies or auto companies are doing. Each individual company isn't trying or capable of ruining the environment, but apparently, when all are combined, they are doing so. Each person isn't trying or capable of destroying the environment, but together, apparently we are.
