I think this chart is why Sony is trying so hard to beak into live service. 3 of that top 10 are Microsoft first party. Make no mistake, Sony makes good single player games, but those games ultimately have no cultural resonance or staying power, on top of being more expensive and less profitable. |
Yeah, live service is a recurring revenue stream that isn't only for a few months of the year, they also tend to have better profit margins on them and both Microsoft and Sony need to increase their profit margins. Activision-Blizzard has a strong profit margin. It's no surprise at all why Sony is going so hard into live service even if some of their fans dislike it, I do think it's going to be incredibly hard for them to break into it though at this stage and multiple games will fail but to Sony it would be worth it if 4-5 completely fail but just 1 blows up.
