That's why all the discourse about profit margins, the shrinking console market, Microsoft's multiplatform pivot and Sony Too, was a bit too hyperbolic for my liking.
Don't get me wrong, issues such as longer development time and massive budgets are definitely worrying, but the PlayStation platform is stronger and more sustainable than its ever been, and that includes the PS2 generation. I think many are overlooking the fact that Sony's first party IP's are still growing on the PS5 despite higher prices and less discounts. GoWR, SpiderMan 2, Helldivers 2, and GT7 are all primed to hit close to 1B+ in revenue, with their first party portfolio accounting for nearly 20% of overall software sales on the platform, with their legacy IP leading the way for engagement in terms of PS+ Premium subscribers, which has around 8M - 9M users.
