Consoles have a future, but Sony is under pressure to keep growing revenue/profit/margins. They can sell 100-120 million Playstation home consoles in their sleep at this point, the problem is game development costs are way higher (lower margins) and not only that there's fewer games per generation they can release. Days of being able to make a sizable game in 2-3 years are largely over, nowadays it takes 4-10 years in many cases for a game to complete, that means they have less content to pull profit from on top of those games requiring larger budgets. |
Why would anyone buy their new console when the previous consoles is sufficient? Not to mention the tariff situation and high costs for computer parts are getting out of hand. PS6 and the next xbox series consoles are going to do worse. People will just stick with what they have and perhaps switch to Cloud gaming.
