How much money is Sony losing over these GaaS failures?

The cancellation of Factions might also be added to Gaas costs. It's probably still a net positive so far. I think the Gaas succes will largely depend on Marathon. However Bungie has seen much better days. If that one also fails Gaas could end up being the next moneydrain for PS.

Definitely, not gonna help their next fiscal earnings in any case. Honestly, how do you explain it to their shareholders without seeing them go into a sudden stock frenzy is gonna be interesting.

The downside of fallin stock is that shareholders are going to want Sony to save on costs. So that it can make more profit in the short run. Which could result in even more lay offs at PS and closing more studios.

For PS studios (especially Mm) the best case would be Astro selling really well. Maybe announcing some big games for 2025 to show that 2025 will be better could also help, but Sony seems hellbend on not showing anything these days.
