How much money is Sony losing over these GaaS failures?

I'm gonna guess Jim Ryan set up this mess as soon as he got in, they pushed out Shuhei too, from the big stuff, which i knew would be a bad sign. Damn, they should really just let Shu have the keys to the castle, he'd have Nintebdo level quality titles on the go for next gen but with Astrobot and Horizon Lego I assume Herman knows what he's doing.

And hey, yeah. Look at the sales of those games though, Death Stranding isn't getting a sequel because of Metacritic, it's cause ot'a a quality product that sold and remember Sony's first party stuff (something the have forgotton) is to get people on the hardware, even if it means big budgets and not much profit in doing so, breaking even should be fine if it sells hardware and they make the money back off of their take on games sold on PSN. But the games you mentioned did make profit. Even Days gone, that's an odd one that they put in the ground cuase it done well. I suppose they just don't like the gruff biker dude associated with their brand and reckon it hurts more than helps. That's why Decon is not in Astro's playroom.  

Astro Bot and Lego Horizon were green lit under Jim Ryan's tenure. 

Damn, so what the hell was the idea of following the GaaS train with the most generic affair. He could have taken established IP like he did with Horizon and had the studios make a GaaS game and had better luck or a Hero shooter with playstation characters. That'd have been more interesting than these generic, brand staining titles. Like I feel Playstation is a lesser brand now to have these titles releasing, who's to blame if Jim Ryan still understood the importance of titles like Astrobot...
