I think a lot of it is overblown.

Forget about profit margins for a second. Do you think Sony making around 1.8B in profit this FY is an unviable business model? That's with Bungie eating into their margins and PS5 hardware losing money when its discounted.

Exactly this. Everyone is so fixated on their profit margins but it is a compromise between short term profit for long term success. Low profit because of acquisitions and discounted consoles may seem bad now but will put them in a good position later on. The CEO was just being honest about where things could be better, he wasn't saying the survival of the business depends on it. People are talking about how this will mean porting their games to PC and Xbox day and date to save the business but PS3 was in a waaaaay worse position and even then they still didn't do that. Yes, I know helldivers 2 is on PC but it's a live service game and Sony wanted it to get maximum player numbers out of the gate. It will not apply to single player games I guarantee you.
