I know that this is wasted time but let's try and explain a little of what is wrong with the initial statement:
GaaS failures: When Jim Ryan took the job as CEO his vision was to push the service dream, Sony had the plan to release service games since before the pandemic, the plan was to release 10+ by 2027. Thanks to the money Bungie made them lose they ended that plan and Ryan "retired". Many people act like the service thing is new or is the new reality or is what is going to be in the future when what is actually happening is a transition from plan to plan. Concord IS A BAD GAME but it's a residue of the last administration that was already paid and almost finished.
Helldivers 2 as much as people want to talk like it failed it is a HUGE success that made 1200% the money they were expecting, the same way Grand Turismo 7 was very close to be the most profitable in franchise history last year. I wouldn't like to include The Final Shape because that was something Bungie was already working on but if people count Lightfall failure as a Sony failure then The Final Shape success is also a Sony success.
PRO pricing: The pro isn't the ps6, you DON'T need the pro to play ps5 games. The product was made to be expensive that's why its called PRO, it's exactly the same situation with the increase of pricing in Japan, people act like it's just a random number someone decided to put there. The ps5 was $700 when it released in my country, the ps4 pro was $600 when the price in the USA was $400. Every economy is different, every economy has their own pricing, that's why the PS5 vanilla is 1200+ dollars in Argentina.
The barren exclusives: Barren exclusives? Lol dude ... people who buy PS games do it because they think those games are awesome. It's ok if you don't like them but if you can't respect others preferences then you shouldn't be talking about PS. On the other side if you are talking about the amount of PS Studios games out there do people already forgot that the generation started in the middle of a pandemic? We are talking 300 million projects from studios that weren't ready to work from home, do people really expected for everything to go smoothly without delays? Well it shouldn't be a surprise but EVERYTHING was delayed.
Games going to PC, some day one: PS Studios games are on PC since 2015 so this is a little too late to ask but how exactly that "stains" the brand? People were expecting for PS to be Nintendo? Oh yeah but then they decide to not port games like Bloodborne to pc and people also talk shit lol. "Ningún chile les embona" people would say in my country.
